Even in the typically slower summer months for prospective new home or condo buyers, Qualex-Landmark™ has seen steady traffic to its latest project in the Beltline, Park Point. But then again, that’s not a surprise. Every development of Qualex-Landmark™ has been met with buyer interest since the Vancouver-based company first set its sights on Calgary a decade and a half ago. Since then, they continue to build multi-family apartments close to the downtown core. Park Point is another perfect example.
The 289-suite tower has 34 storeys with street level live/work townhomes, a guest suite, and one- and two-bedroom apartments. Its location is ideal for not only easy commutes to work for those in the downtown core, but for recreation as well. The five-acre historic Central Memorial Park and Calgary’s Memorial Park Library are a stone’s throw away. And 17th Avenue and 4th Street SW – the heart of funky, exciting shops, services, as well as eclectic restaurants and entertainment spots – are just a short walk away.
“Our recent sales activity indicates that the pre-sale condo buyer is still quite active in the market,” said Parham Mahboubi, Vice President of Planning and Marketing for Qualex-Landmark™. “Since sales launched, we have consistently seen a broad range of home-buyers at Park Point. They span across a wide demographic, including young professionals (singles and couples), move-up buyers, downsizers, retirees, investors, and even some families.”
The project is currently more than 50 percent sold, with construction having started in October 2015 and first move-ins expected by summer 2018. The homes range from one-bedroom, to one bedroom with den, two-bedroom units, two bedrooms with den, and a limited selection of townhouses and penthouses.
