Description
This new condo development brings new life to a heritage site in Downtown Kitchener, expertly uniting the past with the present.
10 Duke Street West Condos is a new mixed-use high-rise condominium by VanMar Developments in Kitchener. This 40-storey pre-construction project 434 units is situated at 10 Duke St W, at the corner of Duke Street West and Queen Street North.
This exciting condominium will feature plenty of office space in addition to units with one and two-bedroom layouts. Investors looking for a condo project near excellent public transit, varied entertainment, and a plethora of daily necessities need look no further.
10 Duke Street West Condos will become an icon of Kitchener, retaining major parts of the site’s original building. The current building is a gorgeous 1949 red brick structure built in the Colonial Revival architectural style. The entire principal (south) facade will be retained, as well as the whole east facade and a portion of the west facade. The rear (north) facade will be demolished to accommodate the proposed programming.
The original building’s classic features, from its red flemish brick facade and stunning bays to its limestone window sills and the limestone band between the second and third floors, will give the condo project a timeless appeal.
This new structure will add 3 stepped-back podium floors on top of the heritage building and an additional 30 residential floors above.
The effortlessly chic exterior hints at the sophisticated interior we expect to find inside. Of the 434 suites, 366 will be one-bedrooms, and 68 will be two-bedrooms. We anticipate units to have spacious open concept layouts and premium features and finishes. Units will have stunning floor-to-ceiling windows that will fill each room with natural light. Plus, suites will feature large balconies where residents can grow a miniature garden or set up some patio furniture.
What’s more, this development will spoil residents with state-of-the-art amenities. The ground floor will have 1,581 square feet of indoor amenity space. An additional 3,555 square feet of indoor space will be located on the seventh floor adjacent to 6,994 square feet of outdoor amenity space.
This development’s abundance of office spaces brings a whole new meaning to working from home. The ground floor will have 2,785 square feet of office space, the second floor will have 4,378 square feet, and the third floor will have 3,540 square feet.
There will be 168 residential parking spaces divided between four and a half floors of above-grade parking within the heritage building and podium. Bicycle parking spaces and lockers will also be available on the ground floor.
The charm of the development’s architecture in combination with its outstanding amenities and office space makes it an opportunity keen investors cannot afford to pass up.
