Urban delight
Valour Park City Estates, the crown jewel of Currie, offers premium townhomes of modern design and impressive scale amidst park and mountain views.
Luxury and ease await at Valour Park City Estates. A home of history and singular charm, its park setting , proximity to amenities, and mountain views herald a new standard of living near the heart of the city.
For years Empire Custom Homes has enhanced the inner city with exciting designs and superior craftsmanship. Currently engaged in the desirable community setting of Currie, the completion of Valour Park City Estates reveals a successful balance of dazzling layouts and supreme function that offer the freedom and benefits of townhome living. Attention to detail has always been a focus of Empire Custom Homes and through tasteful articulation they heighten and enhance features that capture the imagination. “It always has been our primary emphasis, whether it be interior details, finishes, or the structure itself, we want to achieve the home of your dreams,” shares President Kevin Mullen of Empire Custom Homes.
Dan Jenkins of Jenkins Architecture developed the first stylebased approach to architectural codes for new communities here and across Canada. Influential in the success of many award-winning communities, including the sister developments of Garrison Woods and Garrison Green, Jenkins’ design in Currie has resulted in the unique evolution of Valour Park City Estates.
With architectural codes that outline the proportions, form, details, materials, and colours for five architectural styles, it is the Modern Classical style that shapes the basis for Valour Park City Estates. “This style seeks to incorporate the beautiful timeless forms and details of classical architecture, but in a modern way and using modern materials,” explains Jenkins.
Gracefully nestled around the beauty of Valour Park, this nineunit structure hosts three-story layouts with a southwestern exposure. Clad in Indiana limestone, it exhibits a permanence of feature in style and material that traditionally aligns with the park’s historic references.
Spanning from 3,100 to 3,700 square feet, the townhomes generously exhibit a modern décor of clean lines with premium features and finishes supplied by Empire Kitchen & Bath. Providing the ultimate in convenience and function, each residence has its own elevator with access to private parking beneath the unit that services all four levels. Private, street level entrances maintain a single-family home lifestyle that couple with the advantages of minimal townhome maintenance. “We offer a simpler lifestyle, a lock-and-leave that’s still luxurious,” adds Mullen.
Showcasing three designer selected colour palettes (Laguna, Monterey, and Napa), in-floor radiant heat, tall ceilings, and glass and metal railings complement cabinetry by Downsview Kitchens, Sub-zero and Wolf appliances, and premium finishes. Fully landscaped and fenced-in yards further enhance views alongside third floor patios for stimulating exterior living spaces.
Phases two and three are currently in design by Jenkins Architecture and should be ready for pre-sales this spring, affording even more memorable, multi-family luxury by Empire Custom Homes.
“People tend to appreciate the overall quality of the project, which accommodates family and gatherings remarkably well. These homes host great living spaces with larger master bedrooms and studies,” adds Mullen. “Currie is a terrific community with easy access to mountains and downtown with amenities and stores nearby, and is close to Mt. Royal University. Given generous layouts and a classic presence, it’s not about downsizing but being a tremendous final home for a discerning few.”
