Paserium

This mixed-use and "live-work" building was completed in 2003 by Pasera Corporation, which also built the nearby Conservatory and Solarium condo buildings. At street level the Paserium looks much like any other commercial development, offering eight at-grade (one below) retail spaces, and a huge single office-space unit taking up the entire second floor. It's on the third and fourth floors that things are more interesting. The further 14 of 24 owned spaces are two-storey home and office combinations, most with open-to-below areas offering window walls 18 feet high. Because the building "steps back" on upper floors, many of these suites also have generous balconies on both levels; 'nice! All homes/offices have in-suite laundry and a natural-gas fireplace.

The smallest of these two-level homes/offices is 1,145 square feet, and they range up to 1,776 square feet, so there's plenty of space to welcome clients to an office and have a home, as well. The difference here is that the city's zoning and the condo bylaws allow public visits to these home offices, which is prohibited in virtually all other residential condo buildings. Around back there's an alley access to the at-grade indoor parking of 25 titled stalls. There are common-property lockers and an option to rent more storage space.

Exterior windows and doors at Paserium are common property. I have the Condo Plan on file.
