Living 39 Stories Tall

Hi From DTK!

Welcome to DTK, Kitchener-Waterloo’s newest and tallest condo development standing 39 stories tall. 

Like many others I’ve lived in my fair share of basement apartments or lowrise condos. While there’s nothing wrong with living close to the ground floor, I’ve always wanted to live my best life with a great view. 

For years KW just didn’t have much to offer in the way of high-rise condos, but now’s our chance to rent a brand new condo with one-of-a-kind views. Here are my top 5 reasons for renting a sky-high DTK condo:

1. The Views

I have to admit this is a pretty obvious first reason, but who can blame me. I’ve been to the top of this building and I can absolutely without a doubt say that the views from floor 39 are incredible! Check them out for yourself.

2. Less Street Noise

Just because you live downtown doesn’t mean you need to hear downtown. Living the high life comes with the benefit of less noise from both foot and vehicle traffic. You’ll be able to enjoy your morning cup of coffee from the comfort of your 39th floor balcony without the added noise of morning commuters. 

3. More Sunshine + Natural Light

Living on the top floor could give you a rosy glow and help you better regulate the temperature in your new condo. Living on the top floor gives you added height and more exposure to natural sunlight and breezes. Greater sunlight can help to add additional warmth during cool days, while opening a window can invite natural higher breezes into your home to help cool everything down. 

4. Increased Security

Don’t get me wrong, this building is brand new and super secure with on-site concierge and staffing, but security is always something to keep in mind when renting any condo or apartment in any city, and higher floors are generally more secure than others. Taller condo buildings are typically targeted less than low rise apartments due to their additional security and difficult access. I doubt we will see a burglar with a 39 story tall ladder anytime soon, and even the stealthiest of ninjas would struggle dodging security cameras up and down 39 stories.

5. Fewer Pests

 Living on the top floor means fewer visits from unwanted pests and critters. Bugs and other pests typically live in or on the ground outside, so they’re more likely to visit ground or below ground floor apartments. Living in DTK means you’re 39 stories further away from tiny unwanted guests.

New + Modern

Welcome to DTK, Kitchener-Waterloo’s newest condo with stylish new modern finishes. 

I’ve lived in lots of different places, and stayed in my fair share of hotels and AirBNB’s. I’ve bunked in hostels, camped under the stars, slept in boats, snoozed on trains and tried to catch some shut-eye in the middle seat of economy more than a few times. After each of these unique stays, some short and others long, I can positively say that there is nothing better than coming home and living in something that’s brand new. 

DTK condos is just that – a brand new condo in the heart of downtown with modern finishes and amenities. Here are my top 5 reasons to rent a new modern DTK condo:

1. Smart Home Tech Package

Unique to DTK, each new DTK condo will include a brand new Smart Home tech package. This includes a smart lock, smart thermostat and smart hub. Use the devices provided to provide door codes, schedule temperatures remotely or tether new additional products to your smart hub and expand your new smart home. There are limitless options available within the ever expanding smart home industry, and all are yours to discover with DTK.

2. Floor To Ceiling Windows

You’re living the high life, as high as 39 stories tall, and massive floor to ceiling windows help soak your new condo in bursts of natural light. All this new natural light will help to brighten your condo while also making your new condo feel much larger. 

3. New Modern Flooring

 Maybe you have a pet, or perhaps you’re just prone to dropping things, either way there’s less to worry about with the flooring installed in DTK condos. All DTK condos include modern extra wide laminate strip flooring made to look and feel like hardwood, while being durable enough to withstand scuffs and scrapes.

4. Stylish Cabinets + Quartz Counters

Sleek and modern designed with hard crisp edges and distinctive color schemes, each DTK condo includes brand new Scandinavian inspired kitchen cabinetry. Why settle for renting an old apartment with dated stylings when you can rent a brand new condo with modern finishes and by the envy of your friend group

5. On Site Amenities

DTK is chalk filled with brand new amenities including: fitness centre, separate yoga room, rooftop patio and garden, rooftop dog walking space, storage lockers, enclosed garage, new sleek lobby, and access to brand new ground floor stores and restaurants. While you’re living in the heart of downtown, truly you won’t even need to leave your building to access all the important community amenities you typically look for or pay for separately to your rent.
