The Attention Grabbing Amenities
Wednesday, November 18th, 2015
When people talk about the Barrel Yards, they refer to the terrific location nestled against the expansive beauty of Waterloo Park in Waterloo. It is just steps away from so many great Uptown hot spots offering shopping, dining, and culture. Understandably, this location is often the initial focus of The Barrel Yards’ appeal. Later, however, people are pleased to discover some of the truly stand out features inside the development. Let’s take a look inside:
Fitness Centre
IT’S A LIFESTYLE
Getting an active start to your day is so much easier if you don’t have far to go. At The Barrel Yards, this convenience is better with the money you save on a gym membership. The Onyx and The Cooperage boast fully equipped, state-of-the-art fitness centres, each with a yoga studio and “his” and “hers” change rooms complete with a sauna.
Library
MORE THAN BOOKS
The Onyx and The Cooperage at The Barrel Yards feature beautiful, quiet, cozy libraries. Whether you have a home office or work remotely a couple of days a week, the libraries are the perfect space to host small business meetings or to just enjoy a change of scenery while getting that paperwork done. Perhaps a better use of these amenities is on those cold, wet, snowy afternoons, perfect for grabbing your favourite book and getting cozy in a big chair. It’s added luxury without leaving the building.
Theatre
STAR WARS ON THE BIG SCREEN
There are six Star Wars movies to watch at least once more each before the new movie comes out in December. Will you watch them back to back? We have it on pretty good authority that the 20-seat movie theatre in the Barrel Yards will be the scene of a marathon or two.
Entertainment Lounge
THE PARTY IS HERE
One of the best things about living in a Condo is the shared space. We wanted to create a unique culture at The Barrel Yards where you can connect with your neighbours in a welcoming space. The Lounge has a full bar, a prep kitchen and lots of places to kick back and relax and get to know others in your community.
Rooftop Terrace
THE VIEW
My mouth starts to water like Pavlov’s Dog whenever I’m on the Rooftop Terrace; something is always sizzling on the BBQ. Delicious smells are not my only sense overload up there as I take in the gorgeous view. Situated just outside both lounge spaces at The Cooperage and The Onyx are spacious patios that boast stunning views of Waterloo Park and feature multiple barbecues, comfortable sitting areas with fireplaces, and high top tables.
Underground Parking
WHO NEEDS A SCRAPER?
You don’t. Do you know the best thing about living in an apartment building? Arguably, it’s being able to enjoy the seasons without the physical labour that usually goes hand in hand with them. It’s a little harder to enjoy the beautiful snowfall when you know you’re going to have to dig your way to your car and scrape a layer of ice off your windshield. At The Barrel Yards, residents can enjoy underground parking and a shovel free morning.
Coming Soon: Outdoor Terrace
DIVE IN
An outdoor swimming pool complete with a sun lounge area is coming Spring 2016 to The Barrel Yards. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting addition.
