Bluwater Condos

Bluwater Condos — 3500 Lakeshore Road West, Oakville

Bluwater sits at the western edge of Oakville, where Lakeshore Road West meets Burloak Drive and the town line runs into Burlington. It is a waterfront address in the literal sense: South Shell Waterfront Park is next door and the lake is across the road.

About the building

Bluwater was built by Pemberton Group and completed in stages across 2014 and 2015, with the condominium corporation registered in August 2015. The architects were Rafael + Bigauskas.

It is not a single tower. Bluwater is three separate eight-storey buildings developed in three phases, all sharing the one civic address at 3500 Lakeshore Road West. Suite numbers sometimes carry a building letter, which is why a listing may read as unit 122C rather than 122. There are 204 suites across the three buildings.

• Developer: Pemberton Group
• Completed: 2014–2015, in three phases
• Height: 8 storeys, three buildings
• Suites: 204
• Address: 3500 Lakeshore Road West, Oakville, ON L6L 0B4

The suites

Layouts run from one bedroom through one-plus-den, two bedroom, two-plus-den, three bedroom and three-plus-den. Published size ranges vary by source, but the building spans roughly 700 to 2,700 square feet, with the largest suites at the top. It is a wider range than most Oakville condos of this vintage, which is part of why the building holds both downsizers and families.

Maintenance fees

Fees at Bluwater typically cover heat, water, air conditioning, common elements, building insurance and parking. Hydro is billed separately. Inclusions can differ between suites and between the three phases, so confirm what applies to a specific unit before you rely on it — the status certificate is the document that settles it.

The building is managed by FirstService Residential.

Own a suite at Bluwater?

What a suite here is worth comes down to the building, the floor, the exposure and the layout — not a town-wide average or an online estimate. We track what has actually closed at 3500 Lakeshore Road West. Call (905) 338-2083 and we will tell you where your suite sits.

The neighbourhood — Bronte West

Bronte West is the lakeside end of west Oakville. Bronte Village and its harbour are a short drive east along Lakeshore, with the patios, the pier and the waterfront market in season.

Green space is the real argument for this address:

• South Shell Waterfront Park, 3450 Lakeshore Road West — immediately next door
• Shell Park, 3307 Lakeshore Road West — a short walk east
• Burloak Waterfront Park, 5420 Lakeshore Road West — across the town line in Burlington, at Burloak Drive

This stretch of shoreline — Shell Park, South Shell, Bronte Woods and Burloak Woods — is considered by local birders to be one of the best migrant stopover sites in the area, which tells you how much unbroken green sits between the buildings and the water.

Getting around

Oakville Transit Route 14 and 14A, Lakeshore West, stops at Burloak Drive and Lakeshore Road, directly at the building. The route runs between Oakville GO Station and Appleby GO Station, connecting to the Lakeshore West GO line in both directions.

Bronte GO (2104 Wyecroft Road, Oakville) and Appleby GO (5111 Fairview Street, Burlington) are the two closest stations, each a short drive. Both are on the Lakeshore West line into Union Station. The QEW is a few minutes north via Burloak Drive.

Schools

Schools near the building include Eastview Public School (Halton District School Board) and St. Dominic Catholic Elementary School (Halton Catholic District School Board). Both sit east of Burloak in the Bronte area rather than within walking distance. Catchment boundaries change, so confirm the current assignment for a specific address directly with the Halton District School Board or the Halton Catholic District School Board.
