<\/a><\/p>\nCarriage Gate Homes<\/a> held an official groundbreaking ceremony this week at its Gallery Condos + Lofts<\/a> project in downtown Burlington. The milestone event marked the start of construction at the 156-unit condominium and was attended by purchasers, elected officials including Parliamentary Assistant (PA) to Minister Clark, Parm Gill, Director of Policy at the Ontario Home Builders Association, Michael Collins-Williams and MPP Jane McKenna, as well as the President of Carriage Gate Homes and the Hamilton-Halton Home Builders Association, Nick Carnicelli.<\/p>\n When completed in spring 2022, Gallery Condos + Lofts will rise above the corner of Brant and James Street across from City Hall, playing a key role in the revitalization of downtown Burlington.The innovative mixed-use project features a new concept in living with modern residential units, loft-style suites, and commercial units on the ground floor, providing owners with access to a range of essential services.<\/p>\n The project\u2019s desirable location places it within walking distance to a wealth of dining and entertainment venues. In addition to the mixed-use retail spaces planned at ground level, residents will be steps away from shops, restaurants and cultural institutions including Pure Boutique, Coffee Culture Cafe & Eatery, and the Burlington Performing Arts Centre. Plus, convenient access to the QEW, Highway 407 and the Burlington GO Station makes it ideal for commuters traveling to Toronto or the Hamilton-Niagara region.<\/p>\n Designed by Turner Fleischer Architects<\/a>, the 22-storey building boasts contemporary exterior design comprised of a modern glass tower that rises from a four-storey, brick and cast stone podium. The development will be a first in a new generation of mixed-use buildings within the downtown core and features proposed outdoor patio seating designed to interact with City Hall\u2019s Civic Square, located directly across the street.<\/p>\n Within the development, residents will have access to a full suite of amenities designed for health and entertainment. A rooftop patio with barbecues and an outdoor fireplace allows for residents to enjoy the fresh air and admire the views, while a sleek multi-purpose room with a bar and dining area is perfect for hosting dinner parties. Other amenities include a full fitness facility with a yoga studio and indoor pool.<\/p>\n Priced from the $400,000s to over $2 million, the suites at Gallery Condos + Lofts range in size from 600 square feet to 2,200 square feet and have functional, open-concept layouts with large living rooms, gourmet kitchens and expansive balconies or terraces.
