Community of the Week: Arrow Lofts:
The conversion of the abandoned Arrow Shirt Factory into upscale condominiums started a trend in downtown Kitchener that continues as more and more people are choosing to move to the city’s ever-evolving core. Scrupulous care was taken by the builder, Auburn Homes, to ensure the historical character and unique architecture was maintained in the original structure and mimicked in the upper floor additions. Inside, contemporary designs combine with reclaimed materials to incorporate the building’s rich heritage and each penthouse unit boasts soaring 2-storey ceilings for an authentic industrial loft ambiance.
No two suites are exactly alike – each layout is one-of-a-kind with its own sleek ultra-modern finishes, like gorgeous engineered hardwood flooring, floating staircases, quartz countertops, custom built-in walnut media centre with a gas fireplace in the living rooms, high end stainless steel appliances, ceramic and porcelain tiles, plush broadloom, oversized closets, in-suite laundry, and completely updated mechanical and electrical systems. Spacious, chef-inspired kitchens with huge islands are open to the dining and living rooms for the ultimate entertainment setup. Open glass staircases ascend to the upper level where large bedrooms overlook the main floor with its expansive wall of windows which flood the suite with natural light while providing stellar views overlooking the city. Each suite also comes with a balcony, underground parking, and bike storage.
There are just 3 suites in the luxurious 7th floor Penthouse Collection still available for purchase. Suite 710 is a 2 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom design with 1,667 square feet and is priced at $579,900. Suite 702 is the custom designed builder’s model unit with 1,782 square feet and a 2 bedroom plus den, 2.5 bathroom layout at $$639,000. Boasting 1,995 square feet, 708 is a 2 bedroom plus den, 3 bathroom plan priced at $699,000.
Arrow Loft residents enjoy world class building amenities, like the rooftop terrace with a professionally landscaped green space, barbeque area, lounge chairs for sunning and seating for dining, and an adjoining rooftop lounge complete with TV and bar, high-top tables, couches, and fireplace – perfect for entertaining – and all with a spectacular panoramic view of the city. Even the fully outfitted fitness facility and sauna are located on the rooftop. Invite friends over for a movie night in the theatre room or settle in with a good book in the beautifully appointed library. The onsite boardrooms are ideal for startups running their business from home and at Arrow Lofts you’re just steps from downtown Kitchener’s thriving tech sector and the new ION light-rail train will have a stop outside the door, making it a fantastic opportunity for commuters as it’s about half the cost of comparable living in downtown Toronto. Picturesque Victoria Park, the Kitchener Market, the Museum, and many shops, cafés, and restaurants are all within easy walking distance.
