Adi Development Group recently launched Realm, a modern community of condos and townhomes in Burlington’s Alton Village neighbourhood. Geared to younger urban residents, the homes respond to a demand for suburban living spaces—away from the costly confines of a city.

Earlier this year, a Statistics Canada report found that Toronto, Montréal and Vancouver all experienced record-high population losses as a predominantly under-45 crowd opted to move outside these urban centres. This occurred between July 2019 and July 2020, but this trend has only snowballed throughout the pandemic as housing costs rapidly increased.

From new families to young couples and beyond, Realm directly supports a younger cohort looking to settle down outside of Toronto and the like. While pricey single-family homes are out of reach for many in the GTA, Realm provides cozy practical living alongside playful amenities and expansive outdoor spaces.

The project is made up of two 16-storey high-rise condo towers and 20 townhomes for a total of more than 400 suites starting at $400,000. Suites range from 446 to 1163 square feet, with options of one, two, and two bedrooms plus den with open-concept layouts.

The community comes with a range of amenities including a fully-equipped fitness centre with a movement studio, social and youth spaces, a playful kids’ zone, a work-from-home lounge with office pods and breakout rooms, a calming indoor garden, an outdoor basketball court and lounge on the 6th-floor terrace, and easy access to the Burlington GO Station as well as Highway 407 and the QEW.

With clean lines and a crisp aesthetic, its modernist architecture is an example of sophisticated and thoughtful residential design. Centered around a landscaped park, with open-concept suites, Realm balances form with function, light with space and design with nature.
