The Garrett at The Collective brings luxurious, rustic style apartments with sportsplex-like amenities to residents. The Garrett is the third building at the Collective and will have 375 luxury apartments and more than 13,000 square feet of ground floor retail, all in the heart of the rapidly growing Capitol Riverfront neighbourhood. The Garrett is designed around community, with an outdoor tennis court and pools, a fitness centre with a spin room, an indoor green space, a 5,000 square-foot collaborative work centre and a 9,000 square-foot roof top with amenity space, including a club room, party room and outdoor grills.

Designed by SK-1 Architecture, the styling of The Garrett’s exclusive loft-inspired luxury apartments are a cut above the rest, with floorplans including crackled tile backsplashes, quartz countertops, open kitchen shelving, soft-close drawers and cabinets and Elfa closets. Mike, a resident of the Garrett says, “it feels like living here makes me part of some exclusive celebrity club.”, and that “The Garrett is a home that I love to show off to our friends and family.”

Builders WC Smith are based out of the District of Columbia, known and respected for their community building capabilities, with a vision of creating and maintaining healthy neighbourhoods, knowing the importance of communicating with residents, and stakeholders. SK-1 Architecture and WC Smith worked closely with the clients to create an area where the residents were put first.

WC Smith engaged Studco Building Systems to supply EZ Concept flush door systems to create a concealed and clean look to the HVAC closets in the luxury apartment building.

EzyJamb Single Rabbet (SRC) door frames with RocYork RY50 concealed hinges were carefully chosen for the interior unit HVAC closets with a 20-minute fire rating, to fit with the sleek modern style of the apartment interiors and keep the residents safe in an event of a fire.
