Building Details
Waterfront Place is a mixed-use building on Western Avenue, with a small number of residences above office and retail space. It sits a block up from the rebuilt downtown waterfront and its new promenade.
Living above commercial space brings a different ownership model: shared costs are split between residential and commercial owners, and building services such as a doorman* may follow business hours. Views depend on the specific home.

No Rental Cap ≠ Short-Term Rental
