One Urban's Purpose-Built Rentals

With over 30 years of experience in development and property management, One Urban is uprising two new purpose-built rental buildings. Set to be located in Oakville and Barrie, these communities will feature approx. 350 units combined, including residential suites and prime commercial retail space. 

Why choose a purpose-built rental?

Offering cutting edge, condo-like amenities, these purpose-built rentals will feature wifi enabled co-working spaces, fully equipped fitness centers, peloton studios, social rooms, and much more. In this blog, we’ll guide you through some of the reasons why as a renter, you should highly consider choosing to live in a PBR (purpose-built rental). 

Ensuite laundry 

One of the most overlooked features when comparing aspects of condominium life to a rental unit is laundry. The added convenience of ensuite laundry saves both time and the cost of paying additional laundry fees, all while remaining in the comfort of your own space. That is why we have intentionally included ensuite laundry in every unit.

Co-working spaces 

As previously mentioned, both communities in Oakville and Barrie will feature co-working spaces thoughtfully designed with open seating areas with access to free wifi and the ability to collaboratively work with other residents of different vocations and disciplines. Now more than ever, having access to at-home work space, plays a valuable role in making your living decision.

Maintenance and upkeep 

Common area upkeep is another subtle, but important element of living in any rental building. As our PBR’s will be solely owned by One Urban, this means there is more control over the upkeep of the building. This also relates to the fact that there is only one point of contact to address any concerns, ultimately avoiding the tedious process of going through an individual unit landlord or condo board. 

Security

While most rental buildings do not have any security presence at all, One Urban’s purpose built-rentals will offer 24/7 security. Similar to a standard that is often included in condos, the buildings will be equipped with their own card access, closed-circuit cameras and state-of-the-art security systems.

Having experience not only as land developers but also as professional landlords, One Urban recognizes the changing needs of the rental market. Purpose-built rental buildings have many great advantages that should be explored as a liveable option for any future renter.
