Graywood Properties and Hankyu Hanshin Properties Corp. have officially broken ground on Claystone Condos, a seven-storey condo community in Oakville’s Bronte neighbourhood.
The project marks the partners’ first joint development in Canada. HHP had selected Graywood as its Canadian development partner and Claystone as its first investment in the Canadian market.
“We are incredibly proud to be moving forward with Claystone and reaching this important construction milestone,” said Stephen Price, president and CEO, Graywood Properties. “Breaking ground is a testament to the strength of the project and the enduring appeal of boutique communities, with spacious units that cater to the needs of residents. We are grateful for the confidence of our partners at HHP, the dedication of our team, the support of our purchasers and the collaboration of the Town of Oakville.”
Diamond Schmitt Architects designed a wave-like façade that reflects its Lake Ontario surroundings. The interiors designed by Patton Design Studio, draw inspiration from Scandinavian and Japanese design principles, with a focus on natural materials, simplicity and a sense of calm.
The layouts of the residences will be optimized for livability, including wide, shallow penthouse floor plans and suites spanning up to approximately 1,830 square feet. The community will also introduce about 6,500 square feet of retail space at grade, contributing new commercial activity to the surrounding neighbourhood.
Amenities include a fitness studio, indoor and outdoor lounge areas, an outdoor dog run, co-working space and bicycle parking at grade. An attended lobby and dedicated parcel storage will provide additional convenience and security.
Claystone is located within a five-minute walk of Bronte Harbour and the shops, restaurants and services of the surrounding Bronte community, with access to the Bronte and Oakville GO stations, as well as the Queen Elizabeth Way.
