Jazz Condos, Burlington
Jazz Condos started construction in April 2014 and was completed in October 2016. It is a 4-storey residential mid-rise in the heart of Aldershot. 85 residential suites over 88,000ft² of floor area and a one-storey below grade parkade with a floor area of 45,000ft² which allows for 98 vehicle parking spaces and 85 small storage lockers for the residences. On the ground floor, in addition to the residential suites, it has 6 commercial retail stores facing Plains Road and some extra rooms for the homeowners. These include a multi-use room with a kitchen, games area and TV lounge area. It also boasts a multi use fitness room.
It is constructed of cast-in-place concrete parkade and retail spaces, with a complete wood framed structure for the suites. This includes nominal wood studs with a TJI floor system complete with acoustical mat and 40mm of gypsum topping. The exterior envelope is predominantly 2×6 studs with brick veneer and stucco, although it includes some Longboard Siding. Each unit was built with its own hot water heater, heating unit and air conditioning. There are 2 central units for the corridors and public spaces.
Jazz Condos is mid-rise residential building developed by Branthaven Homes and built by VanMar Constructors Inc.
