Living at Oak & Co, Oakville: 2027 Buyer and Renter Guide

By Jatin Dua · Broker of Record, RE/MAX Quantum Realty · Updated 2 November 2026 · 10 min read — A plain 2027 guide to Oak & Co, Cortel Group’s four-building condo community at Trafalgar Road and Dundas Street East in Oakville.

This guide is for anyone thinking about buying or renting at Oak & Co in Oakville in 2027. I already named its first tower in my top condo picks for Oakville; here I go deeper: how the four buildings are organized, what the amenities and fees look like, what Oakville condos sell and rent for, and the checks I would make before you sign.

Where is Oak & Co and what is nearby?

Oak & Co sits at the corner of Trafalgar Road and Dundas Street East in Oakville’s Uptown Core. Cortel Group, the developer, describes the site as surrounded by shopping, dining, schools including Sheridan College, parks and transit, and set between the Morrison Creek natural heritage area and the Uptown Core community.

The buildings use several addresses. A building-data website lists the first tower at 297 Oak Walk Drive and the second phase at 2481 and 2489 Taunton Road, and UrbanToronto lists the project at 278 Dundas Street East. When you look at a listing, check the address and the corporation, because they decide which fees, rules and reserve fund apply.

A building-data website names a Dairy Queen, a restaurant and bar, and a Freshii near the first tower, and the Uptown Core shops are a short walk. Zeidler also notes many shops and restaurants within walking distance, which, in my view, makes this one of the more walkable condo locations in Oakville.

Who built Oak & Co and when was it finished?

Cortel Group developed Oak & Co with Zeidler Architecture as architect and Tomas Pearce as interior designer. Zeidler says it worked with Cortel on the site’s master plan from 2013. In March 2021, Zeidler announced that the first tower would be move-in ready that summer and the second that fall, and that the finished project would have four towers of 12 to 25 storeys, with retail at street level in the first phase.

Cortel now lists Oak & Co as registered. A building-data website shows the first tower as Halton Condominium Corporation (HCC) No. 741, registered on 23 December 2021, with 242 units over 25 floors. It dates the second phase on Taunton Road to 2022. UrbanToronto counts about 750 homes across the project.

One detail matters for buyers. Cortel’s page lists separate property management and concierge contacts for Tower 1 and for Towers 2, 3 and 4. That tells you the community is run in more than one piece. Find out which corporation your suite belongs to, how many units share its costs, and whether there is a shared facilities agreement for amenities or the garage.

What suite sizes and layouts does Oak & Co have?

A building-data website gives a range of about 540 to 2,299 sq ft in the first tower, so it runs from compact one-bedrooms to very large penthouse-level suites. Cortel’s page still mentions penthouses. Listings in November 2026 in both phases were mostly one-bedroom-plus-den and two-bedroom suites between about 600 and 1,000 sq ft.

When you view a suite, check whether the den is big enough to be a real second bedroom, how much balcony you get (the white boxed balconies are part of the design), and whether parking and a locker are included in the price.

What amenities does Oak & Co have?

A building-data website lists a long amenity list for the first tower, including:

• a pool and a spa
• a gym and a yoga studio
• a concierge
• a party room, a dining room with a catering kitchen and a wine tasting area
• a media room, a games room and a billiards and table tennis room
• an indoor children’s play area
• a sundeck and an outdoor patio, with barbecues permitted
• parcel storage

Not every amenity is in every building. Ask which ones your suite’s corporation owns, which it shares and what it pays for them. A pool and spa are great to have and costly to keep running, so look for them in the budget and reserve fund study.

How much are the maintenance fees at Oak & Co?

No official fee schedule is published. Fees advertised on listings in November 2026 were about $600 to $710 a month for suites of roughly 600 to 1,000 sq ft in both phases. By my arithmetic, that works out to roughly 75 to 90 cents per square foot per month, with the smaller suites at the higher end. A building-data website does not list what the fee includes, so ask which utilities are covered and which are billed to the suite.

The buildings registered from late 2021 onward, so the owners’ boards have had a few years to replace the developer’s starting budgets. Read the latest budget and reserve fund study in the status certificate, and ask whether any increase or special assessment has been discussed.

What do Oak & Co condos sell and rent for?

I do not publish prices for individual suites. Here is the Oakville condo apartment market every Oak & Co seller is competing in, and how it compares with townhouse prices nearby.

Source: TRREB MLS data via REALM, January to October 2026 vs the same period of 2025. Town of Oakville, median sold prices, not building-specific.

Oakville condo apartments sold 335 times in the first ten months of 2026, down from 389 a year earlier. In October 2026, TRREB’s Market Watch counted 34 condo apartment sales in Oakville against 213 active listings, with a median of $523,750 and an average of 51 days on market. That is a buyer-friendly market. A condo here is still about half the price of a freehold townhouse, which is why many first-time buyers start in the Uptown Core. My first-time buyer guide for Oakville and Burlington covers the full cost of buying.

For renters, TRREB’s Rental Market Report for Q2 2026 showed Oakville condo apartments leasing for an average of $2,178 a month for a one-bedroom and $2,923 for a two-bedroom. My Oakville and Burlington rent guide has the details. In my view, being close to a college campus, shops and a bus terminal helps an Uptown Core suite rent steadily, but every suite still has to be priced against the other listings.

Rent control does not apply. Oak & Co suites were first occupied from 2021, well after the 15 November 2018 cut-off, so the 1.9% guideline for 2027 does not cap increases. Landlords still need 12 months between increases and 90 days’ written notice.

How do you get around from Oak & Co?

Transit is a strength. The Uptown Core terminal is on Oak Walk Drive, steps from the first tower. Oakville Transit’s terminal map lists routes 1, 5, 19, 20 and 37 there. Route 1 runs north to Trafalgar Road and Highway 407 and south to Oakville GO, and route 5 runs west along Dundas toward the Highway 407 carpool lot and east to Winston Churchill Boulevard. Zeidler describes the site as about 10 minutes from Oakville GO station.

For drivers, Zeidler notes that Highways 407 and 403 are a quick drive away. Trafalgar and Dundas is a busy intersection, so test your commute at rush hour, and expect some traffic noise on the suites facing it.

What are the pros and cons of Oak & Co?

Pros

• A bus terminal at the door, with routes to Oakville GO and Highway 407.
• Shops and restaurants within walking distance in the Uptown Core.
• A very long amenity list, including a pool and spa.
• A wide range of suite sizes, including large suites near the top.
• Newer construction, registered from late 2021.

Cons

• A busy intersection, with traffic noise on some sides.
• A multi-building structure that takes work to understand.
• Lots of competing listings across the phases and the Uptown Core.
• No rent control for tenants.

Who is Oak & Co best for?

• First-time buyers who want to own in Oakville for about half the price of a townhouse.
• Transit users and students or staff who value the bus terminal and Sheridan College nearby.
• Downsizers who want a larger suite with amenities and shops on foot.
• Investors who want a newer, rentable suite and accept that rent control does not apply.

It suits buyers less well if you want a quiet street, a lake view or a small building. For lakeside options, see my top five condos to buy in Oakville.

Should you buy or rent at Oak & Co in 2027?

Buyers have room to negotiate in Oakville’s condo market, with lower prices and longer selling times than in 2024. Borrowing costs have gone up a little: the Bank of Canada raised its policy rate to 2.50% on 28 October 2026, and big-bank prime moved to 4.70%. The next decision is on 9 December 2026. Treat every rate forecast as a forecast.

At Oakville’s January to October median of $528,000, the minimum down payment would be $27,800. Oakville buyers pay only Ontario’s land transfer tax, and first-time buyers can get up to $4,000 back. Remember property tax too; my Oakville property tax guide explains the 2026 rates and when the 2027 rates are set. For the bigger picture, read my Oakville housing market outlook for 2027.

What to do next

1. Confirm the suite’s address, tower and condominium corporation number.
2. Get the status certificate and read the budget, reserve fund study and any shared facilities agreement.
3. Ask which utilities the fee covers and request recent hydro bills.
4. Compare only with recent sales in the same corporation and similar layouts.
5. Use the estimator on this page for a starting value, then book a call with me to go through the numbers.
