Overview
The City on the Grand Stage.
Something INCREDIBLE is coming to Barrie. Something the city’s never seen before that will elevate the lifestyle of not only its residents, but the surrounding community. A monumental first, standing tallest in Barrie, it’s a home that nods to the future of a city on the rise. A place that offers urban living, urban amenities and the best of Canadian outdoor living. Steps to the lake, and with direct access to Toronto, it’s time to discover a new Barrie - a more modern and connected Barrie and a city where the stage has been set.
Designed with Barrie's future in mind, Début was conceived with a central idea: how to continue transforming the city into an incredibly dynamic environment. One that fuses together hotel-inspired urban luxury with outdoor living that's distinctly Canadian. Début was designed to be the catalyst of that change.

Design.
Every element of Début was designed to enhance our residents’ living experience through innovative design. From big picture ideas, like an architectural twist and feat in engineering that allows 87% of suites to take in a view of the water, to the finer details, such as kitchen or bathroom storage solutions and home fitness features that maximize your quality of life. A smartphone-operated convenience and security system for residents and visitors allows admittance to suites for services like cleaning, laundry, etc. from the separate guest/visitor lobby, making your daily life as seamless as possible.
Creative Functionality.
We’ve taken the time to maximize every square inch of your space, so no area is left without purpose, or design consideration. Standard suite kitchens feature multi-functional islands and drawer units on castors that can be positioned in various configurations as desired according to use. Configurations include breakfast, meal preparation, dining, party, and work modes. Most bathrooms include their own illuminated mirrors, while each master bath is well equipped with convenient storage and display shelving, as well as a mirrored medicine cabinet with integrated LED lighting.

Cast & Crew.
Developer: Gary Silverberg As
a real estate developer and artist, Gary Silverberg is driven by the idea of
constantly finding ways to improve how we live. Whether it’s taking a community
on the cusp of change and breathing new life into it, or finding ways of making
improvements in our lived experience to seamlessly blend retail and living
spaces into a new form of live / work space. With more than 40 years of
experience across all real estate sectors including commercial and retail, Gary
approaches every project the same way – by thinking about how people interact
with their environment; private spaces, shared spaces and the wider community.
This sense of connection is at the core of all his projects. With Art Condos,
Gary designed a first-of-its-kind live / work space that catered to the
authentic nature of Toronto’s West Queen West community. Dubbed one of top 5
condos in Toronto by the Globe and Mail, Art Condos is an example of a building
that is aesthetically pleasing, functional and easily understood from a human
scale. | Interior Designer: Johnson Chou Since
