Vespra is a mixed-use rental development at 22-34 Vespra Street in Barrie, Ontario, situated within the city’s designated Urban Growth Centre. Designed as a 36-storey tower over a five-storey podium, it brings 446 rental apartments and ground-floor retail to one of downtown Barrie’s most strategically located sites, steps from the transit terminal, the waterfront, and the amenities of a city that is growing with real conviction.

A Development That Does More Than Add Housing to Downtown Barrie

Vespra is designed around how people actually want to live in a growing city. Ground-floor retail activates the street and serves the surrounding neighbourhood, generous amenity space gives residents room to gather and spend time together, and a pedestrian-oriented podium creates a street presence that adds to downtown Barrie rather than simply occupying a footprint within it. This is mixed-use development done with genuine intention, in a part of the city that is ready for exactly this kind of project.
