Starting prices are the lowest published per-desk asking price for a private or dedicated-desk office in that district, shown only where at least three are published. Most Toronto operators quote on enquiry rather than publishing a price; SquareFoot shows the published ones and asks the operator for the rest.

How to choose

Three questions settle most searches. Where do the people you need to see sit, clients, investors, a partner firm, a university? Where do the people you need to hire live, and which district do they already commute to? And how much of the monthly budget is the address worth: in most cities the same team pays materially more for the prestige district than for the one next to it. Toronto is no exception, which is why the live listings are sorted by price with the district on every card.
