Lead architects Tom Kundig and Kirsten have posted the project’s details on their website, which refers to the residential portion as apartments. However, as noted in the name of the project, it seems as though these will be condos. The Department of Planning and Development website states that the 11-story structure will feature 75 residential units, 110 hotel rooms, over 12,000 square feet of retail space, and below grade parking for 325 vehicles.

We’re just interested to know if the residential portion is going to be condos, or apartments?
Turns out the “condominiums” in the original title was a typo by OSKA. After giving them a call, they made the correction on their website.
