The action
A retiree client of agent Kamil Lalji toured various condominium suites and detached bungalows over six months, in areas as far afield as towns bordering Banff National Park to downtown Calgary. In the end, the only property that fit the bill was this ground-floor unit in a resort-like community near Fish Creek Provincial Park on the city’s outskirts. It helped that the asking price on the property had just been reduced to $1.1-million from $1.15-million.
“At that price point, you can buy a house” Mr. Lalji said. “So the value proposition really has to be there for someone who specifically wants all those amenities.
“This is one of the coolest condo buildings I have ever seen in Calgary. They have an on-site pool, gym, workshop, crafts room, wine-making cellar, movie theatre, bowling alley and a whole bunch of other miscellaneous amenities.”

The agent’s take
“It has a nice big patio with a gas line,” Mr. Lalji said. “And there’s direct access to Fish Creek Provincial Park, which was really nice.
“Because of its shape, the unit has three angles, so it has north-, northeast- and east-facing windows, and it was a very sizable unit. Not all units in that complex are that big.”
