THE ROSE CORPORATION'S BAKERFIELD II WINS BEST PURPOSE-BUILT RENTAL PROJECT AT THE 2025 BILD AWARDS
TORONTO, June 2, 2025 /CNW/ - The Rose Corporation, a prominent real estate development and management firm, is pleased to announce that it has received the Best Purpose-Built Rental Project award for The Bakerfield II at the 2025 BILD Awards. The Bakerfield II (www.thebakerfield.com) represents the final phase of a three-tower, 4.5-acre master-planned development, comprising over 600 new units in the heart of Uptown Newmarket.
"The Rose Corporation is honoured to receive this prestigious award from BILD, recognizing The Bakerfield II's excellence in design, quality, resident experience, community programming, and innovation," stated Daniel Berholz, President of The Rose Corporation. "The Bakerfield II introduces an elevated rental product to an area that has lacked new rental options for over 30 years. It has successfully transformed land previously considered an eyesore into one of the most desirable places to live in Newmarket."
The Bakerfield II is centrally located at 200 Deerfield Road, close to Newmarket's major amenities and parks. This 10-storey building, comprising 175 suites, offers a diverse selection of floor plans with 55 options ranging from 1-bedroom to 3-bedroom plus den, including affordable and accessible units. Quality was a key consideration in The Bakerfield II, reflected in the selection of premium building materials and meticulous attention was given to the level of millwork, fixtures, and overall livability in suite.
Customer experience is a priority at The Bakerfield II with residents receiving white glove service and access to a variety of social programming in their building including holiday celebrations, learning sessions and community gatherings. Living spaces are extended far beyond the suite by offering private booking of sizeable lounges, co-working offices, dining, games rooms and a golf simulator. Residents also have access to the amenities offered at The Rose Corporation's adjacent Bakerfield I rental building at no additional cost.
The Rose Corporation has an exciting pipeline of opportunities in cities and towns across the Greater Golden Horseshoe and is committed to delivering many more transformational rental communities like The Bakerfield II where they are needed most.

Create Account The Sky Tower, Toronto. The Shangri La, Vancouver. The Skyla, Montreal. Condo developers, cross Canada, are punching ever higher with an arsenal of statuesque supermodels that strut a skyline catwalk, now as crowded as city highways are thick. For those of us in older, smaller towers (at 39 floors up, in downtown Toronto, we're hardly vertiginous by today's standards) the foregoing ingenues can undermine perceived desirability. With a little planning, however, older versus newer competition can be redressed. Even ugly ducklings, under our guidance, can morph, without eye-watering investment, to become beautiful swans. Picture the scene: when we bought our condo in 2007, its seller seemed much more interested in a quick sale, rather than value amplification via 'lifestyle' quotient.

Walls were builders beige, and the prevailing mood was gloomy. On the plus side, the rooms are bigger, the ceilings higher, and the skyline and lake views breathtaking, albeit hidden, back then, behind billowing drapery. Today, our formerly tired unit has reawakened. We've installed new bathrooms and a new kitchen with hidden appliances, ceiling-high cabinetry and grey Carrara counters. Ebony flooring runs throughout, and an army of pot lights floods the space with controllable illumination. Spray finishing window frames inky black (with consents from our condo board) and acres of white walls have transformed the high rise 'bungalow' into a somewhat Bauhausian space. A space that may one day provide financial return (but in the meantime generous daily return) should we ever decide to sell. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Botox for buildings Paint. Accent walls are one thing, but buyers typically prefer neutrally attired spaces. Crisp white is our default (pared-back schematics help bounce light) but bone and whisper grey are similarly sound bets. When did you last see a model suite tricked out in library green or dining room red? If you can't do without a colour jolt, specify a bold artwork or dramatize with textiles. But remember, less is more: let your space speak for itself. Flooring. Many older condos grace the market with thick, trip-hazard berber. Worse still, beige bathroom carpet that would challenge the most determined gag reflex. Cheaper than hardwood, it was quick to fit, but take a tip – tear it asunder and install engineered or hardwood flooring to max out dollar yield. In the condo market, compromised as it is, buyers will offer less if faced with installing new flooring. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Optimize circulation. To stimulate interest, clear passage to windows so views can be appreciated. Swap busy curtaining for crisp blinds, and define each room with its own function, rather than allowing hybrid bedroom/office/TV rooms to confuse. Lighting. Model suites set mood with auspiciously positioned table lamps and overhead fittings to create atmospheric pools of light and shade. Ditch those cruddy track spots and opt for slicker recessed pots, fire regs permitting. Socket to them. And, while you're at it, replace dowdy sockets and light switches with controllable updates that allow mood tailoring at the flick of a switch. Older plastic switches suggest that other 'older' things are going on out of sight, even if they aren't. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Kitchens. You needn't break the bank when rejigging. For a streamlined look, fancy up affordable cabinetry with integrated appliances, choose stone or quartz surfaces and swap out your bulky dishwasher for a modern drawer beauty by Fisher & Paykel. Keep clutter at bay and 'counter scape' with sexy coffee machines and toasters. Remember: you're selling a lifestyle. Home spa . Updating an old vanity will reap rewards, as will new tile, replacement faucets and a smart towel stand. Complete with a slick mirror, and a few strategically placed luxury perfumes or aftershaves, and you'll be well on the way to creating an attractive environment for buyers. Think of your dated condo as a classic car – whilst some older vehicles end up on the scrapheap, others drive into the future as cherished, vehicular history. So, if you're moved to improve, polish those headlamps, oil that engine and hack your high-rise to become the concourse winning pad of which buyers have always dreamed.
