This is a 2 tower development along Seagram right in front of Laurier's stadium and opposite of Lester. The developer behind this is Modern Real Estate Development. They are behind a couple of other projects around the universities namely 311 Batavia Place (Completed), 316 Batavia Place and 88 Hickory (both U/C), the the Albert and Seagram project (Planning Stage).
The project itself is located at 87-95 Seagram Dr. Both towers will be 34 floors with a 7 floor podium connecting the two together. The architect on this is Masri O. The engineering and planning firms are all your normal ones for local projects (MTE, MHBC, CVD).
The project will include retail at grade fronting Seagram and it will have 2 floors of office space at the top of the east tower. The retail units range from 77sqm to 132sqm (830-1420sqft). The office space is a total of 800 sqm (8600sqft).
The site has a fairly nice split of units, the obvious target is university students, there is 220 1 bedroom units, 72 2 bedroom, 210 3 bedroom, and 20 4 bedroom units. The unit sizes are also fairly reasonable compared to most other buildings, 1 bedroom units are all larger than 600 sqft, 2 bedroom units range from 630 to 780 sqft, 3 bedroom units are 766sqft or 1166 sqft, then the 4 bedroom units are on the small side being 934-947 sqft.
There is very minimal parking, again targeting students. In total there will be 76 parking spaces, 69 for residents, 7 for the office, commercial and visitor uses. There will also be 560 bicycle spaces included in the development, 540 are Type A with the remaining 20 being Type B (short term).
Amenity space for this building is also fairly specific to targeting students, second floor there are 2 small amenity rooms 97 and 45 sqm (1050 and 480 sqft), then the entire 8th floor of both towers is amenity space with both towers connected via a breezeway, the west tower is targeted towards student studying, there is open study space, meeting room type space (group studying) and then two classroom type spaces. The east tower is your more typical amenities like a gym, movie room, party room, lounge, dining room and games room. In total the 8th floor has 1041 sqm of indoor amenity space (11205sqft). Outdoor amenity space is accessed from the breezeway connecting the two towers and consists of 534sqm of space (5750sqft).
