Description
This new condo project is near Queen’s University, making this condo project an excellent investment for students.
600 Princess Street Condos is a new mixed-use, mid-rise condominium by Podium Developments in Kingston. This 6-storey pre-construction condo with 176 residential units from studios to 3 bedrooms is located at 600 Princess St, at the southeast corner of Princess St and Albert St.
The upcoming development will sit at a vital corner lot on Princess St, close to many shops and accessible by transit.
600 Princess Street Condos will be a dynamic, kite-shaped building to fit the corner lot, with 6 storeys, 176 residential units, and 1603 sq. ft. of prime retail space at grade. Units will be split between 57 studios, 81 one-bedroom, 23 two-bedroom, and 15 three-bedroom suites.
The design of the exterior features modern, square windows and light grey panels, recessed and angled to add visual interest. An attractive, curved-glass window at the corner with a built-in, wraparound bench creates an inviting public seating area. Warm wood or copper-toned elements at street level add lots of curb appeal, while planter elements nod to the sustainable features of the building. This will be the first net-zero emissions residential development in Kingston.
The building will also include 1 level of underground parking with 31 residential parking spaces (7 for electric vehicles) and 179 residential bike spaces. It will also feature 18,944 sq ft. of amenity space, including indoors on the first floor and outdoors on the rooftop. Amenities include a fitness studio, lounge and dining room, study areas, and meeting rooms. The large rooftop terrace will be suitable for relaxing or running around (pickleball, anyone?)
The commercial area on the ground floor faces Princess St, allowing for five live/work units for residents looking for flexible space. Thanks to shared access points, other units can also become combined into larger units. This building offers various options for individuals, couples, and families living together.
Location & Neighbourhood
600 Princess Street Condo sits on an arterial road, Princess St, leading towards downtown Kingston in the very walkable neighbourhood of Williamsville. Numerous conveniences are steps away from the development site as Princess St is lined with many restaurants, shops, and businesses. And the area continues to develop, with new projects underway along the busy throughway.
One can find diverse casual eateries within walking distance, such as Izumo Sushi, Guac Mexi Grill, or Smoke’s Poutinerie. There is also Ali Baba Kebab for Middle Eastern cuisine, Royal Angkor Restaurant for Thai and Cambodian dishes, or The Yellow Deli, which offers fresh sandwiches and a juice bar. Fast food options are also nearby. Tim Hortons, Subway, and Burger King are less than a 10-min walk away. For groceries, Metro is just down the street.
Additionally, Princess St is serviced by three Kingston Transit bus routes that go from the Cataraqui Centre to the downtown core. Cataraqui Centre is anchored by Hudson’s Bay, H&M, Sport Chek, Indigo, and Shoppers Drug Mart, among its 140 stores across two floors. And Hwy 401 is about 10 mins away on a drive straight north, offering quick and easy access to Toronto or Montreal. Kingston is also a crucial stop on the VIA Rail line.
