National Homes and Brixen Developments launch a new development in the heart of Brampton. The builders are no strangers to building quality homes and condos in great locations. And DUO is no different. Views to the lake, easy access to transit and retail, and a sophisticated architectural design are only a few of the reasons why DUO Condos is taking the Brampton real estate market by storm.

The 2.6-acre transit-oriented community, situated at the corner of Malta Avenue and Steeles Avenue, just west of Hurontario, will consist of two towers connected by an outdoor Euro-inspired piazza and courtyard. The first 26-storey tower will feature 349 suites, many with outdoor living spaces such as airy balconies or spacious terraces.

Showcase designs

The project, designed by IBI Architects, showcases modern, saw-tooth balconies and contrasting colours which embody the duality of the design concept. Hence the name, DUO. The dark brick podium complements the tower above, clad in black metal and glass with white and black accents throughout. DUO Condos was created to fit within the existing neighbourhood, while also standing out as a masterpiece in architectural design and elevated finishes.

The interiors were designed by EsQape Design, with a two-storey lobby and courtyard featuring 3,500 sq. ft. of ground-floor retail in the first building.

Residents can enjoy an outdoor amenities area with sun cabanas, a wraparound terrace, barbecue dining and a sports flex lawn. Inside, there is a social room, with a full chef’s kitchen and bar, as well as a co-working space with nooks for independent working and a large table for collaboration. For healthy living, there is a fitness studio featuring a cardio section, spaces for yoga, Pilates and spinning, and a separate room for private classes or a group session. A clever kids play room overlooks the gym and fitness area, so parents can work out while the kids play.

Affordably priced

The first tower has options for studios, one-bedrooms, one-bedrooms plus den, two-bedrooms and two-bedrooms plus den. Prices are described as “affordable,” starting from the low $500,000s. According to Jason Pantalone, president and managing partner of National Homes, a “key point is the affordability factor in terms of providing an additional type of housing in Brampton that really isn’t in the market today, given the higher prices of single-family homes and townhouse developments.”

The location boasts endless growth and great investment potential with Sheridan College a short walk down the road, the Malta Zum bus stop out the front door, and a wide variety of retail shops, including Shoppers World and Real Canadian Superstore only minutes away.

Not to forget the Brampton Gateway Terminal and the new Hazel McCallion LRT Station – only minutes away from DUO and slated for completion in 2024. The LRT will connect residents to Mississauga with 19 stops on the way to the Port Credit GO Station.

Variety of buyers

Alexander D’Orazio, principal with Brixen Developments, says the condo was designed with “all kinds of buyers in mind… downsizers, empty nesters, young professionals who want to take the LRT to work, a student going to school at Sheridan College.”
