Across Calgary and Edmonton, this trio of homes makes a persuasive case for lifestyle-first living, where recreation and everyday ease share the same address. In University District, a former show-suite townhome pairs smart tech and designer finishes with a rooftop patio and walkable access to parks, retail, and leading institutions. Sundance offers a more private rhythm, anchored by year-round lake access, green space, and strong schools around a charming bungalow. At West Block Glenora, a mixed-use tower adds a service-rich, plaza-centered urban cadence.

In Glenora’s West Block development, the 100 West Block Tower brings a considered mix of residential, commercial, and retail living to a 3.5-acre site organized around a lively urban plaza.

Dual heating systems—radiant heat and forced air—help balance temperatures throughout the suite, joined by air conditioning for warmer months. Amenities are designed to streamline routines: concierge service, dry cleaning service, private carwash, bike storage, an indoor/outdoor lounge, fitness centre, and board room. Thoughtful touches extend to pet-friendly features like a dog wash station and rooftop dog run. With the future LRT integrated into the community, getting across Edmonton feels refreshingly direct.
