1 Columbia Street West | 7 fl | Proposed

[ac3r]

Centurion Property Associates is proposing a 7 floor student apartment mixed use building at 1 Columbia Street West. The architectural design is by Studio Limina.

At 7 floors, the building will have a total of 24 apartment units containing a total of 78 bedrooms (a mixture of 1, 2, 3 and 4 bedrooms). The project will be connected to the existing building at the same address. 11 additional apartments will be added to the existing building, adding an additional 22 bedrooms. 2 commercial spaces will occupy the ground floor. A small amount of amenity space for residents will be included. 25 parking spaces will be provided along with a indoor and outdoor bicycle spaces.

Interesting that the render shows the King St. address (355). I assume this is replacing just 355, not 351 as well? I’ve been wondering what would eventually happen to the two houses still there on King St. between 345 King St. and 1 Columbia.

It would be replacing all the houses. I wasn't sure what to title the thread as it's technically the same project as the existing tower at 1 Columbia West, but also shares the address 351-355 King North.

If only 1 Columbia was half as nice as this design.

Yeah, it's awful. Not just the design but the quality of the building itself. If you go walk around it you can see the thing is falling apart already, but that's true for many of these student buildings in the area. The low quality materials and construction really shows.

They used the cheapest EIFS they could find with a paint that clearly was not UV rated. The building looks like garbage. The design was horrendous to start, but now that it is 5-10 years old it looks like it needs to be recald already.

The quality of the owner as well. Gordon Schembri is a Grade A jerk if I remember correctly. When the building wasn’t ready anything close to on time, he sued intended occupants who pulled out (because they had to live elsewhere). Truly disgusting.
