in the coming days. While design and sustainability set One Urban apart, their focus on purpose-built rental properties means that the tenant experience is equally paramount. Rejecting the spartan amenity offerings of rental buildings from past decades, each One Urban development is curated like a boutique hotel. Full-service fitness centres with yoga studios sit alongside gourmet party rooms, private dining areas and co-working lounges where neighbours can mingle and collaborate. Landscaped rooftop terraces offer urban retreats, and pet spas cater to four-legged residents. “Purchasers live in their units, but renters live in the building,” Nick explains. “We design spaces that encourage residents to savour the entire community, not just their own four walls.” Beyond their own developments, One Urban is expanding into construction management and property management divisions—providing end-to-end services both in-house and to thirdparty clients lacking internal infrastructure. That vertical integration safeguards quality and fosters institutional expertise, while generating diversified revenue streams. Currently, the firm’s pipeline spans just over 1,000 rental units in various Ontario markets, and Nick foresees “several thousand” more under ownership over the next decade. Despite historical robust demand for condominium product, One Urban has “no intention of returning” to presales, remaining steadfast in their rental-only strategy. As One Urban prepares to break ground on their latest projects and welcome new residents into thoughtfully designed communities, the firm remains steadfast in their commitment to innovation, sustainability and exceptional tenant experience. By continuously refining their development processes, embracing cuttingedge building technologies and nurturing strong partnerships across every discipline—from architecture and engineering to construction and property management—One Urban is well positioned to meet Ontario’s growing demand for elevated rental living well into the next decade.
