Overview of The Regatta

Completed in 1992, The Regatta is the first condominium development constructed on Barrie's Lakeshore — a purpose-built residential tower rather than a conversion. This 16-storey high-rise contains 174 units and occupies a position in the City Centre. Its construction established the high-density residential profile of the Kempenfelt Bay shoreline.

The Regatta has anchored the City Centre for over three decades, and its design reflects the density requirements and construction standards of the early 1990s.
