Slate Apartments is a five-story, 150-unit complex with studio and one- and two-bedroom apartment layouts. Residents have access to a fitness/exercise room, spa, conference rooms, clubroom, massage area, outdoor courtyard, storage, individual balconies, a theater, pet washroom, and ground-level parking. The building also features three commercial areas.

Slate’s exterior facade is comprised of brick and shiplap. Uniquely, the owners requested beautiful murals to be painted on the west side of the building. Those murals display roses, reflecting the neighborhood’s history of growing beautiful, large roses over the past decades. 

The property wraps around an existing water shop/hair salon tenant on three sides. Slate’s property lines reach within inches of the historic building. To protect that tenant, teams took extra precautions.
