119 Bradford Street
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.
