The Studio JCI-designed building will stand 8 storeys tall and house a total of 212 units with two levels of underground parking. Similarly, the future development on Essa Road will benefit from the same transit service. Barrie Transit can transport riders all over the city, including connections to GO Transit at Allandale and Barrie South GO stations, transporting riders as far as Union Station in Downtown Toronto. One Urban is focussed on producing transit-oriented developments. Residents of 430 ESSA Condos who use transit will find stops for Barrie Transit routes 2 and 8 just steps from the front door.

"We have made a conscious effort to incorporate the use of sustainable energy systems in both of our upcoming purpose-built rental buildings in Oakville and Barrie,” said Nick Stillo, One Urban Principal and COO. One Urban also notes a commitment to innovation and change for the good of the environment, which is why the company has prioritized reducing its carbon footprint. One Urban currently manages approximately 60 commercial tenants across their properties, providing resources at street level to bring lifestyle convenience to residents while creating opportunity for businesses in the surrounding area to thrive. One Urban's philosophy is Opportunity rich, Neighbourhood focussed, Efficient building (ONE), so the company's intention with every development is that they be thoughtfully designed with commercial and retail shops at grade. The 4-storey BDP Quadrangle-designed building is the first condominium launch by One Urban, an industrial-turned-residential developer that transitioned into the multi-family residential space in 2015. The founders of the company have been developing commercial and industrial properties since the mid-1980s, and started One Urban when they decided to move into developing multi-family projects. Just north of Toronto, 430 ESSA Condos is bringing 71 residential units, along with new retail opportunity to Barrie.
