Library. Wilfrid Laurier University is also just a 10-15 minute walk or a quick LRT ride away, effectively doubling the potential tenant pool. 330 Phillip Street, known as ICON, represents a paradigm shift in the Waterloo residential landscape, transitioning the city’s University District from traditional, low-density student housing into a sophisticated, high-density urban core. ICON is the quintessential “blue-chip” asset-a property that combines a bulletproof location with a modern, amenity-rich infrastructure that effectively “de-risks” the investment for both local and out-of-province owners. What truly separates 330 Phillip St from its contemporaries is its resort-style amenity package, which functions as a massive marketing engine for owners. The centerpiece is the full-sized indoor basketball court-a rare luxury in Ontario condos-which serves as a social hub for the building. Complementing this is a state-of-the-art fitness center and a dedicated yoga studio, catering to the growing wellness trend among the resident demographic. However, the building’s true genius lies in its academic integration, featuring multiple private study lounges and high-tech boardrooms . These spaces are equipped with the infrastructure necessary for private reading or study extending the University Campus into the home. On the social side, the two rooftop patios offer panoramic views of the Waterloo skyline and the sprawling University grounds, featuring outdoor fireplaces and BBQ stations that make the building the most sought-after social address in the district.
