Choose a Distillery North apartment

The operator describes studios and one-, two- and three-bedroom homes with quartz counters, maple flooring, induction cooktops and in-home washers and dryers. Balconies and window outlooks vary by apartment.

Request the floor plan and room dimensions, including the outdoor space if one is offered. Ask how the induction cooktop works with your cookware and which finishes belong to the home in your quote.

Understand heating and ventilation

The operator describes a Passive House building designed to reduce heating and cooling demand. Listed apartment features include triple-pane windows, heat-pump heating and cooling, and a heat-recovery ventilator with filters.

Ask how to use the thermostat, window openings and ventilation controls, and who handles filter maintenance. Request the utility responsibilities for your lease. The building’s design does not establish a specific energy bill or savings for your home.

Keep the apartment and arts complex separate

Distillery North adjoins the older Distillery arts complex, whose artist, business and live-work spaces are different from these apartments. Ask about a residential apartment at 455 East First Street so the intended building and use are clear.

The operator lists interior parking. Ask our rental team about a space, availability and charges, as well as pets, lease length and any requirements for the particular apartment. Include your dates and budget, and compare rent with required monthly and move-in costs.
