Location

Princess Towers is strategically located in the Central Business District of historic Kingston, Ontario, Canada. 

We have 84 Studio (Bachelor); 52 - one bedroom; 59 - two bedroom; and 5 - three bedroom apartments or 267 rooms in our 200 unit building. A few units have not been renovated recently but most have updated kitchen cupboards, washrooms, flooring, and appliances. 

Princess Street is the major downtown street and the bus stop in front of us provides easy access to most areas of Kingston.

Many of our customers are Graduate Students at Queens University because we are less than a 10 minute walk to the main campus. In addition we normally have a number of undergrad Queens students, a few students from St Lawrence College, the Royal Military College, and young professionals, retirees, and others who want to live at our desirable downtown location. 

The Brass Pub, Bubbas Pizza, Classics Tea & Food Store, Dairy Queen, and Popeyes Lousiana Kitchen share the Princess street level of our property.

Queen street provides access to our 28 surface parking lot and 56 underground stalls for our vehicle storage needs. 

Because Princess Towers is one of the tallest buildings in the Central Business District of Kingston, we have several national and regional communication providers.

We are across the street from a large Metro grocery store and City bus stop.

We are a few steps from a Shoppers Drug Mart and there are many neighborhood dining options (restaurants, bars, cafes, coffee shops & internatioal eateries) and retail outlets nearby catering to the diverse local population.
