Located at 17 Sophia Street East in the heart of downtown Barrie, Sophia brings 268 thoughtfully designed homes to one of Ontario’s fastest-growing urban communities. With a construction strategy built around cost efficiency and a site that puts residents steps from transit, employment, and everyday amenities, this is development that makes sense for the city and the people who call it home.

What Makes Sophia a Standout Development Opportunity
Black Creek Group has worked closely with the City of Barrie to advance Sophia as a high-density rental development, with key approvals already secured and strong municipal support in place. The project benefits from a full Development Charge waiver, additional municipal fee reductions and deferrals, and a third-party validated construction budget with room for further improvement. Its location in Barrie’s urban core, close to transit, services, and the Allandale Waterfront GO, supports strong long-term leasing demand and positions the project well within one of Ontario’s fastest-growing communities.
Project Highlights
- Site Plan Approval secured, supporting a direct path to pre-construction and delivery.
- Full Development Charge waiver in place, representing substantial project savings.
- Additional municipal fee reductions and deferrals further improve overall project economics.
