CRANSTON RIDGE IN FINAL PHASE

Pre-constructi­on sales underway on fifth building offering 56 condos, some with mountain views

It’s down to the home stretch for a southeast Calgary condo developmen­t by Alberta’s reigning multifamil­y builder of the year.

The fifth and final building at Cranston Ridge by Cardel Lifestyles was recently launched for pre-constructi­on sales. This four-storey building will have 56 condos, ranging from 624 to 1,038 square feet.

Cranston Ridge is Cardel Lifestyles’ second site in Cranston, following sold-out Cranston Place.

Appealing locations have long been a focus for the builder, and the master-planned community by Brookfield Residentia­l is no exception.“It’s an establishe­d community with very close proximity to the river and the ridge and lots of parks and pathways,” says Brayden Logel, director of sales and marketing for Cardel Lifestyles. Cranston Ridge is also a quick drive to Cranston Market, a commercial developmen­t in the community anchored by a Sobeys grocery store, he adds.

Logel points to the benefits that will come from a new Deerfoot Trail and 212th Avenue S.E. interchang­e that is now under constructi­on. With this additional infrastruc­ture, Cranston residents will have easy access to the wide assortment of establishe­d and future amenities at Seton.

The master-planned developmen­t of Seton is earmarked for up to 1.5 million square feet of office space and one million square feet of retail space. It will have a high school, expansive recreation centre, movie theatre and assisted living/nursing home. Seton already has a wide assortment of establishe­d businesses — including grocery stores — and Calgary’s newest hospital, the South Health Campus.

On the final building at Cranston Ridge, Logel says sight lines will be a highlight, particular­ly some condos on the third and fourth storeys with views of the Rocky Mountains.

Prices start at $189,000 before the GST. This is for a floor plan with two bedrooms and one bathroom that measures 624 square feet. For a condo with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, the starting price is $229,900, before GST. This is for an 897-square-foot space.

With the new building, Cardel Lifestyles continues its emphasis on high-calibre standard specificat­ions, says Logel, singling out quartz counters, luxury vinyl plank flooring, nine-foot ceilings, and larger-than-average windows. “We’ve got really good value.”

A new show suite in the fourth building at Cranston Ridge is ex- pected to open in February 2018. It will showcase a new plan called the Ridge 2, which is available for purchase in the fifth building of the developmen­t.

Cranston Ridge also offers townhomes, which are now selling in the final available block for the segment. These are available for immediate possession.

Cardel Lifestyles was crowned Multi-Family Builder of the Year at the 2017 Canadian Home Builders’ Associatio­n-Alberta Awards of Excellence in Housing and Safety Leadership Awards in September.
