The Artista Flats is a building of six levels of residential apartments sitting on top of grade-level parking spaces. The ground level parking area that sits on either side of the entryway lends to the building’s interesting side profile. The building is visually separated by the columns and beams, creating an appearance of residences sitting on top of a parking structure.

The building underwent renovations in 2007, which included the replacement of the original painted metal railings of the balconies to the glass railings on the building today. The building is clad in white brick on non-street facing sides. The red vents that sit against the white brick are a remaining feature from the building prior to the renovations.
