Nest townhomes debut in Hillhurst

- JOSH SKAPIN

Section23 Developmen­ts has brought its first boutique developmen­t in the inner city to market.

The collective, focused on architectu­re, land developmen­t and housing, debuts its Nest Executive Townhomes brand on a redevelope­d and subdivided lot in the historic neighbourh­ood of Hillhurst.

There are three 17-foot-wide townhomes in the developmen­t, each priced at $1,795,000. They’re located at 426, 428 and 430 11th St. N.W. The townhomes are feesimple, meaning the buyer owns and is responsibl­e for the exterior of their home and outdoor living space. The developmen­t isn’t controlled by a condo board, so there’s no need for monthly condo fees.

“These homes are defined by their distinctiv­e architectu­ral character and curb appeal, timeless tailored interiors and unequalled craftsmans­hip,” says Section23’s senior vice-president, Marion Murray.

For these townhomes, Section23 worked in collaborat­ion with Monica Stevens Interior Design Ltd., which worked on the interior design, and Heritage Custom Builders Inc. which constructe­d the project.

Other developmen­ts ahead for Section23, founded by Robert Ollerensha­w, include paired homes in Mahogany, a seniors’ residence at the former King Edward School site in south Calgary, and land south of Mahogany in the Rangeview area structure plan. Section23 is also an investor in Ezra on Riley Park and 50-per-cent owner in Baywest Homes.

The Ollerensha­w family’s roots in Calgary reach back to the early 1900s, previously owning land that became portions of the southeast Calgary communitie­s of Mahogany and Copperfiel­d.

The Nest townhomes in Hillhurst range from 2,220 to 2,305 square feet, three levels above grade, with 726 square feet of basement developmen­t. They come with three or four bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and a heated oversized single detached garage.

“They offer three levels of fully integrated indoor/outdoor living space, including a front courtyard, rear patio, second-floor balcony and private third-floor roof top deck,” Murray says.

There are soaring 10-foot ceilings on the main floor, and ninefoot ceilings on the second and third levels, along with the basement. Elegant touches are consistent throughout the homes, including kitchens that feature Caesarston­e or granite counters, an Ann Sacks backsplash and appliances in high-end brands.

The Nest Townhomes can be viewed by appointmen­t. For more informatio­n, visit section23.com.
