OSHAWA - In the last several years, a new category of condominium has been sold in several markets in Ontario: the student housing condo. Located near university and college campuses, the buildings are designed with particular suites and amenities that cater to student needs, while sales of the suites are aimed at investors looking for reliable income from the under-housed post-secondary students demographic. One of those buildings to recently complete is Building Capital’s University Studios.

“The Perfect trifecta of affordable, quality and spacious housing”
Podium Developments and Building Capital Inc. walked away with the award for Best Innovative Suite Design for SmartStudios at University Studios in Oshawa
Strong demand led to the rapid selling of every unit at University Studios, an Oshawa condo development from Building Capital and Podium Developments that appeals to both students and investors by offering below-market pricing and a location in a higher-learning hub.
Given the project’s immediate success, the two builders are teaming up once again. This time, it is to build on their previous project’s innovative model with the launch of the low-rise University Towns on the same stretch of Simcoe Street North.
OSHAWA - The success of Podium Developments and Building Capital's University Studios—which sold out in just two weeks of sales—has underlined the continuing demand for student housing in college towns throughout the Greater Toronto Area and beyond. With the project now sold out, Podium and Building Capital are teaming up once again to bring a new residential development called University Towns to Oshawa's Simcoe Street North near Durham College and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT).
OSHAWA - Rolling off the unprecedented success of University Studios, Podium Developments and Building Capital are getting ready to launch University Towns, a new collection of SmartTowns™ and large condo units in Oshawa.
University Studios sold so quickly due to the strategic location minutes from Durham College and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT), and the innovate design of the SmartStudios™ that featured appliances, furniture, and fold-up beds that doubled as dining/work surfaces.
OSHAWA - At the beginning of this year, we announced that investors were showing a high amount of interest in Building Capital and Podium Developments’ new condo, University Studios in Oshawa, thanks to the innovative SmartStudios™. Well, it seems like the interest was even higher than we thought because the condo is completely sold out!
When Phase 1 opened, it only took two weeks to sell out. Then Phase 2 opened and it sold out in just two days! So why would a mid-rise, contemporary condo sell out so quickly in Oshawa? Because of the rising land values and the building’s close proximity to two post-secondary schools.
OSHAWA - University Studios, a student-focused condo development with investor appeal in the higher-learning hub of Oshawa, has sold out within months of the project’s launch.
“The quick sales result comes from the nearby campuses,” said Saqib Qureshi, a partner at Building Capital, which alongside Podium Developments is bringing University Studios to the market.
