Condo Project Summary
This is an upcoming mid-rise condo project in Downtown Oshawa with a fantastic walk score and access to three post-secondary schools.
PostLofts Condos is a pre-construction development by Atria Development in Oshawa. The address is centrally located at 47 Simcoe St S, just south of Athol St E. The 8-storey mixed-use building will stand 8 storeys high and offer 143 luxury units in various sizes and layouts. The project maintains a heritage facade while also integrating high-tech features.
Buyers will be ideally situated in Downtown Oshawa, surrounded by urban conveniences and transit access. Oshawa is home to three post-secondary institutions, meaning investors can take advantage of a thriving student rental market.
Amenities
PostLofts Condos features a stunning exterior that includes a landmark post office’s two-storey, neoclassical, stone facade. On top of this, it adds a six-storey, modern metal and glass structure with balconies, terraces, and cutting-edge features. In total, the building will be 8 storeys tall.
The mixed-use project includes 143 residential units as well as commercial space for a community-focused development that will stand out in Downtown Oshawa. Details about suite layouts, features, and finishes are to be announced, but we can expect spacious and well-designed condo units with modern amenities.
Location & Neighbourhood
PostLofts Condos enjoys a fantastic and accessible spot in the city. Buyers can claim one of the most walkable places in Downtown Oshawa, as 47 Simcoe St S sports an unbeatable walk score of 96 out of 100. Additionally, Hwy 401 is just 1 kilometre away, so drivers can quickly get to other parts of Durham Region or take a 50-minute drive to Downtown Toronto or Pearson Airport.
As both Simcoe St and nearby King St are arterial roads, both are well served by public transit. Riders can take Durham Region Transit for direct travel to Whitby, Pickering, and even Scarborough. There are also stops for many post-secondary institutions, including Trent University, Durham College North Campus, and Centennial College. Proposed transit developments will see new bus rapid transit extending from Scarborough to Durham Region along Dundas St, offering greater connectivity in the future. And the Lakeshore East GO extension will bring a new train station to Central Oshawa, less than 2 kilometres south of PostLofts on Simcoe St.
Oshawa offers many urban conveniences, from diverse restaurants to cultural enjoyment. Hungry diners can find everything from casual dining to upscale restaurants. There are cafes, pubs, vegan spots, classic fast food, and more.
The closest grocery store is Lucky Supermarket, but there are also big box brands like Costco, No Frills, FreshCo, and Real Canadian Superstore in the area.
Downtown Oshawa sports plenty to do and see, with highlights like The Robert McLaughlin Gallery, Canadian Automotive Museum, Memorial Park, Oshawa Creek, and Tribute Communities Centre Arena just steps away from PostLoft Condos. Additionally, Lake Ontario is just a 15-minute drive away, so residents can easily escape the city centre for waterfront views and parkland.
The Oshawa Centre is less than 2 km away from the condo site, and it serves as both a retail destination and a significant job zone. This enormous, two-storey shopping mall features nearly 260 stores and services, including Hudson’s Bay, Old Navy, H&M, Uniqlo, Forever 21, Sport Chek, and Indigo. It is also a bus transit hub for Durham Region Transit. Countless other shops and small businesses can be found along King St and Simcoe St in Downtown Oshawa.
The City of Oshawa is home to three post-secondary institutes that bring 30,000 students to the municipality each year. Investors will find a sizeable rental market demand from young adults attending Durham College, Ontario Tech University, and Trent University Durham — all of which are reachable by public transit.
Oshawa is experiencing rapid growth, and the city offers a balance of urban opportunities and suburban comfort. Invest in this project today to take advantage of a promising future in Durham Region.
