Q Condominiu­ms in Sage Hill Quarter designed with convenienc­e in mind

- JOSH SKAPIN

Time in traffic can be better spent elsewhere.

This is why a location within walking distance of shops, services, and places to eat, is key for many people in the market for a new condo.

Then there’s the uncommon ability to have these amenities only a few steps away.

Morrison Homes Multi-Family embraces this idea with its planned new project in the northwest Calgary community of Sage Hill.

Q Condominiu­ms in Sage Hill Quarter will feature two condo buildings surrounded by about 240,000 square feet of commercial space.

Sage Hill Quarter by developer Ronmor, is under constructi­on on a site that measures about 6.8 hectares on Shaganappi Trail and Sage Valley Drive N.W.

Pre-constructi­on sales on these condos are expected to open with the unveiling of a presentati­on centre and as how suite this spring.

“It’s something that’s different in our market,” says Rob Kennedy, president of Morrison Homes Multi-Family.

Kennedy compares the walk ability offered at this developmen­t to something more commonly seen in downtown Calgary. But with a starting price planned for the low $200,000s, Q Condominiu­ms is a more affordable option.

“It’s all based on lifestyle,” says Kennedy of Q’s appeal, using the example of a Saturday spent running errands.

“You get in your vehicle and drive to pick up your groceries, drive to wash your car, drive to pick up a bottle of wine, to pick up your dry cleaning, and your day is gone,” Kennedy says. “Here, you leave your car in the parkade, you get up, walk to the grocery store, the drugstore, the gym.”

To this point, a Co-op grocery store, Co-op liquor store, and Coop gas station have been confirmed as tenants. But Kennedy says the plan is for a “well-rounded” lineup of businesses.

Q Condominiu­ms will have 175 condos, with 100 units in one building and 75 in the other.

The floor plan selection includes one- and two-bedroom orientatio­ns. Some of the two-bedroom options will have two bathrooms. They’ll range from 564 square feet to 900 square feet.

“This building will offer great value at every price point,” Kennedy says.

Sage Hill Quarter will have a pond, small plaza and pedestrian links throughout the site.

Constructi­on on the first condo building is slated to start later this year, with first possession­s in late 2019.
