Living at Nautique Lakefront Residences, Burlington: 2027 Buyer and Renter Guide

By Jatin Dua · Broker of Record, RE/MAX Quantum Realty · Updated 2 November 2026 · 9 min read — Nautique Lakefront Residences in Burlington: builder history, suites, amenities, fees, the builder’s offer and how to buy or rent there in 2027.

This guide is for buyers, investors and renters looking at Nautique Lakefront Residences in downtown Burlington. You will get the building facts, the builder’s current offer on its last new suites, what fees look like, what Burlington condos sell and rent for, and the questions I would ask before signing in 2027.

Where is Nautique Lakefront Residences and what is nearby?

Nautique stands at Lakeshore Road and Martha Street in downtown Burlington, with suites addressed at 370 Martha Street (a building-data website also lists 374 Martha Street for the building). The builder describes it as steps from the Waterfront Trail and a short walk from Spencer Smith Park and the Brant Street Pier.

The builder’s site also points to Village Square, the Burlington Performing Arts Centre and the Art Gallery of Burlington nearby, along with the restaurants and patios of the downtown core. This is the east end of the downtown waterfront strip, a few blocks from Brant Street. My guide to Burlington lakefront condos from Brant Street to Spencer Smith Park compares the buildings along this stretch.

Who built Nautique and when was it finished?

ADI Development Group built Nautique. A building-data website lists 26 floors and 254 units, with the corporation, Halton Condominium Corporation No. 775, registered on 16 May 2024. That makes it one of the newest high-rises in downtown Burlington.

The road to completion was not smooth. In December 2022, insauga reported that ADI had settled with the Home Construction Regulatory Authority (HCRA), Ontario’s builder licensing regulator, after complaints that ADI cancelled 174 Nautique purchase agreements, citing a failure to get satisfactory construction financing. Under the settlement, affected buyers were to get their deposits back plus about $2.5 million in interest, and ADI paid a $60,000 fine. The building was then finished and registered in 2024.

That history does not change the title to a resale suite today. It is a reminder of how pre-construction risk works, which I cover in what happens when a GTA condo project is cancelled.

What suite types and sizes does Nautique have?

The builder lists studios, one-bedrooms, one-bedroom-plus-dens, two-bedrooms and two-bedroom-plus-dens, with interiors by Cecconi Simone and ceilings up to 11 feet. A building-data website shows suite sizes from about 424 sq ft to about 2,062 sq ft.

Check how each size is measured. On the builder’s floor plans, some totals include the balcony. For example, its “Airde” one-bedroom-plus-den is shown as 941 sq ft, made up of 675 sq ft inside and a 266 sq ft balcony. When you compare price per square foot, use the interior figure.

What amenities does Nautique have?

The builder lists two amenity floors. The 4th floor has outdoor dining, an outdoor fire pit, a swimming pool, an indoor fireplace lounge, an indoor and outdoor bar, an indoor and outdoor yoga studio and a fitness centre. The 20th-floor sky lounge has a dining room, a show kitchen, a fireplace lounge and an outdoor fire pit with an observation deck. A building-data website also lists a concierge.

A pool and two amenity floors add to running costs, so read how they are funded in the budget and the reserve fund study.

How much are maintenance fees at Nautique?

In the resale listings a building-data website showed in November 2026, a studio under 500 sq ft carried a fee of about $527 a month. Suites of 600 to 699 sq ft ran about $660 to $740, and two-bedrooms of 800 to 899 sq ft about $802 to $942, each with one parking space. Ask what the fee includes, since listing pages do not always show it.

Nautique’s first owner-run years are happening now. Reserve fund studies and the first real operating costs often lead to fee changes in a building this new. Ask for the status certificate and read my checklist on what to look for in a status certificate.

Can you still buy a new suite from the builder at Nautique?

Yes, as of 10 November 2026. The builder’s site describes a “final collection” of move-in-ready suites from the mid-$300,000s, with a limited-time offer to pay no HST on a brand-new, never-lived-in suite, plus free parking and a full new home warranty. Advertised starting prices included a 424 sq ft studio from $361,053 and a 558 sq ft one-bedroom from $450,434. Prices and offers change, so confirm them in writing.

Two rules matter here. First, Ontario’s enhanced new housing rebate covers the 8% provincial part of the HST, up to $80,000, on new homes up to $1 million bought from a builder under an agreement signed between 1 April 2026 and 31 March 2027, if the home is your or a relative’s primary residence. Second, ask how a “no HST” offer works. In many builder deals the price includes HST and the buyer assigns the rebates to the builder, so a buyer who does not qualify, such as an investor, may face different terms. Read my piece on the Ontario HST rebate on new homes and have your lawyer check eligibility before you sign.

What do Burlington condos sell and rent for in 2026?

These are city-wide Burlington figures for all condo apartments, not Nautique’s own prices. Use them to judge whether a builder price or a resale ask is in line with the wider market.

Source: TRREB MLS data via REALM, January–October 2026 vs the same period of 2025 (City of Burlington); TRREB Market Watch, October 2026; TRREB Rental Market Report, Q2 2026 (average lease rates). The Q3 2026 rental report was not posted when I checked on 10 November 2026.

A quick reading: the builder’s advertised one-bedroom start of about $450,000 sits below the city median, which mixes all sizes and ages. Units take about 52 days to sell on average, so a resale owner here competes with both other listings and the builder’s own stock.

How do you get to Toronto from Nautique?

Burlington GO station is at 2101 Fairview Street, north of downtown, on the Lakeshore West line to Union Station. The builder points to easy access to the QEW and Burlington GO, but from Martha Street the station is a drive, bike ride or bus ride rather than a short walk. Burlington’s downtown business association notes that city buses link downtown with the city’s three GO station hubs.

Test your real commute at your real hour before you buy. GO and Burlington Transit timetables change, and the drive to Toronto varies a lot with traffic.

What are the pros and cons of living at Nautique?

Pros

• Brand-new building. Registered in 2024, and the builder offers a full new home warranty on its unsold suites.
• Two amenity floors, including a pool. More than most Burlington buildings offer.
• Downtown and the lake on foot. Trail, park, pier and restaurants nearby.
• Lower entry prices than older lakefront buildings. Studios and one-bedrooms start below the city median.

Cons

• Builder stock competes with resale. Resale sellers may need to price sharply.
• Small suites. Some two-bedrooms are around 650 sq ft.
• Fees can move. A new corporation is still learning its true costs.
• GO is not walkable for most. Plan for a bus, bike or car.

Who is Nautique best for, and should you buy or rent there in 2027?

Nautique suits first-time buyers who want a new suite near the lake at an entry price, end users who can use the new home rebates, and renters who want new finishes downtown. It is less suited to buyers who need a large suite or a walk to the GO.

For renters, remember that Nautique was first occupied after 15 November 2018, so its units are exempt from Ontario’s rent increase guideline (1.9% for 2027). The landlord still needs 12 months between increases and 90 days’ written notice, but there is no cap. For buyers, the Bank of Canada raised its rate to 2.50% on 28 October 2026 and prime is 4.70%, so lock in a rate hold before you shop.

What to do next

1. Get a pre-approval with a rate hold, then decide between a builder suite and a resale suite.
2. Ask the builder for the full terms of the HST offer and the closing cost estimate in writing.
3. Have a lawyer confirm whether you qualify for the Ontario enhanced new housing rebate.
4. For resale, get the status certificate, the budget and the reserve fund study before going firm.
5. If renting, ask about the renewal plan, since the unit is not covered by the rent guideline.
