Prime Location, Progressive Design: A New Development for Barrie

This exciting mixed-use development takes root at the intersection of Bradford Street and Victoria Street, a prime location designated for urban core and high-rise density within Barrie’s Official Plan.

The project offers a vibrant mix of uses:

  • Ground Floor: Retail and commercial spaces will activate the street level, fostering pedestrian activity.
  • Mezzanine Level: Amenity areas and a sports facility, such as a gym, will enhance the resident experience.
  • Second to Fourth Floors: A dedicated parking structure with approximately 120 spaces provides convenient parking for residents and visitors.

Workspaces and Residences:

  • Fifth to Seventh Floors: Thirty office units will contribute to a dynamic atmosphere and extended building operation hours.
  • Eighth to Thirty-Fourth Floors: These floors comprise the residential tower, divided into four distinct sections for optimal unit distribution.
  • Top Floors: Two luxurious residential stories crown the building, offering stunning views and high-end living.

Design Considerations:

  • Urban Integration: The project adheres to Barrie’s urban design guidelines, bylaws, and the most recent city plans.
  • Vibrant Streetscape: The podium level’s facade incorporates glass and solid materials, creating a visually engaging street presence. Interactive uses at ground level will further enliven Bradford Street.
  • Tower Harmony: The main tower utilizes glass to minimize visual impact on the surrounding context. Its segmented design, divided into four sections, reduces its perceived mass.
  • Biophilic Design Principles: The project embraces open and green spaces for each residential bundle, drawing inspiration from biophilic design principles that promote occupant well-being and connection to nature.
  • Separate Entrances: Dedicated entrances for commercial/retail access from Bradford Street and residential/parking access from Victoria Street minimize traffic congestion and ensure pedestrian safety.

A New Barrie Icon:

This development aspires to be a landmark structure in Barrie’s downtown core, leaving a lasting and positive impression on the city’s identity.
