Edmonton’s downtown is coming to life once more. After the long COVID lockdown period, excitement is ramping back up again, and downtown is as happening as ever. And wouldn’t it just be the perfect backdrop for living? Our cover feature shows just how rich living here can be, as Westrich Pacific offers the perfect downtown condo lifestyle in The View at Grandin City. The View is just the latest in the developer’s long line of multi-family marvels in the downtown and comes on the tails of its successful ENCORE Tower development. But The View has an even more luxurious air about it, but better hurry if you don’t want to miss this opportunity as it is already at 80 per cent sold. Find out more about what it offers in the story inside. We stay downtown in the next story as we explore what’s happening now in the city core. If you’re new to the city or haven’t been to the downtown in a while, check out our feature and find out what the locals love about it, and what’s in store for it in the future. Then we take a look at the apartment condo – from a downtown tower, to an inner-city mid-rise, and to a suburban four-storey – what they all have in common is the instant lifestyle they offer to residents. It is the ultimate in affordability and makes for a great jumping point into the homeowning market, but it also presents an easy lock-and-leave living for empty-nesters and retirees looking to travel. Find out what your options are for condo living everywhere in the city in this story. As always, we have a ton of design and décor stories inside that gives some expert tips on how to bring style and personality to the home. Edmonton’s new home market it seems is poised for milestone growth this year, so pick up a copy or follow us on Instagram or Facebook to find out the latest news that can affect your homebuying decisions.

Cover Story

The View at Grandin City: LasT chance for Luxury in the downTown The View at Grandin City is a promise fulfilled. Panoramic vistas of the entire river valley, ultra-luxurious suites befitting an elevated lifestyle, and owning a home in one of the last developable spots in this sought-after area of downtown – it is a dream made manifest. And there are just a handful of opportunities left to own a home here. Demand has been so strong that 80 per cent of the development is already sold. Perhaps it should come as no surprise that such a prestigious development from such a highly respected developer should be so overwhelmingly popular. 8

New Home + Condo Guide | April 1–29, 2022

Westrich Pacific Corp. has played a vital role in the transformation of Edmonton’s downtown as a desirable place to live with several high-end properties - including the nearly sold-out ENCORE Tower where only a handful of units remain. It has come through once more with The View at Grandin City. The 23-storey tower with 178 townhome and apartment condo suites has fulfilled all its promised potential to create a one-of-a-kind opportunity to enjoy life in the city’s core. Located on 99 Avenue and 111 Street NW, midway between the electric excitement of the ICE District and the languid tranquility of

Development The View at Grandin City location 9922 111 St. NW Developer Westrich Pacific Group available units from 755 sq.-ft., one-bedroom + den, up to 1,504 sq.-ft. three-bedroom suites. contact grandincity.com

the river valley, The View is nothing short of spectacular. Cole Killeen, sales manager at Westrich Pacific, tells Edmonton New Home + Condo Guide that The View takes full advantage of this strategic and scenic location in one of the most coveted parts of downtown. “Westrich took advantage of this opportunity and made it available to 178 clients on one of the last purchasable properties in the area,” he says. “Another key factor setting Westrich apart from all the rest is they always are strategic on their sites for high rise towers. They find sites in which the surrounding air space will be left the way it is, ensuring the clients investment will have view protection for years to come.” Even with these high standards, the location of The View is special, for one thing Killeen says this may be the last tower location that offers units to own.

“Buyers have limited time if they would like to own a new condo in this area as all additional towers we have projected will be leased only, leaving The View as the last purchasable tower for several years,” he says. “This is another major advantage to a purchaser from an investor standpoint. With no competition and no other units available in the near future, it is sure to have a positive impact on their investment.” For the last handful of suites, Westrich Pacific has come up with an enticing package that is the cherry on top of an already sweet homeowning opportunity in the downtown. On all remaining units the developer has fully upgraded all suites for the purchaser this includes: All suites come with 1 underground parking stall, nine-foot ceilings with floor to ceiling windows, blinds,

Samsung stainless steel appliance package, two-tone cabinets with under cabinet lighting, quartz countertops, Kohler plumbing fixtures, laminate flooring throughout the suite, porcelain tiled showers, floating vanities with a drawer bank instead of cabinets, and closets outfitted with wood dividers and storage organizers. Killeen says buyers can still choose from an exciting range of suites that range from 755 sq.-ft., one-bedroom + den, up to 1,504 sq.-ft. threebedroom suites. The building itself features immersive design complementary to Grandin’s quiet streets to create a seamless transition that extends from indoors out, Killeen says. He notes that although condo suites up in the tower have been the most in-demand, townhomes have found their market niche as

well. “A few lucky individuals got to take advantage of ‘house-style living in our townhome, making their property truly unique. We only have one townhome remaining, and the buyers who were looking for this larger square footage have all shown very positive reactions to the townhomes and their location.” Be it a single-level suite or a townhome, there is no discernable demographic as far as buyers go. It appeals to everyone. “The demographic really has no boundaries as all ages of life are welcomed and have purchased in the tower. We offer the right fit for students, snowbirds escaping for the winter months, and families looking to upsize or downsize their current properties.” The View offers a variety of different floor plans and sizes. “We made it appealing to a wide range of clientele but maintain some exclusivity as there is only a limited number of residents.” Everyone can also enjoy the extensive array of in-house amenities that the View offers. The impressive double-height lobby alone creates a huge first impression, making everyone feel like they are arriving at a five-star hotel. Beautiful marble stonework flooded with natural light and personalized concierge service greet residents on their return home. “The building has some very tasteful amenities offered in the tower that include a fitness center, main floor barbecue area, concierge, rooftop lounge and a community vehicle for the building.” Lastly, all the charms of Edmonton’s downtown are at the feet of the residents. “We are just steps away from the river valley you can enjoy the views of the river and the large trees with walking paths to get a quiet moment to yourself. In the opposite direction, residents can make their way onto Jasper Avenue with plenty of hospitality options, grocery stores and entertainment needs. 10

LIVE IT UP

DOWNTOWN by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ

Every world-class city deserves a world-class downtown, and Edmonton’s city core is one of the best in the world – and only getting better. Things to see, things to do – it’s all right there. At the same time, it has become a terrific option for new homebuyers. In fact, the population of the city core has been growing steadily, according to Chris Buyze, president of the Downtown Edmonton Community League. He says the population of the areas between 97 Street to 109 Street and 97 Avenue to 105 Avenue that make up downtown has increased by about 17.5 per cent over the last five years. “Downtown Edmonton is more of a community than you might think,” he tells Edmonton New Home + Condo Guide. “There is a great diversity of people, businesses, organizations, government here. It is one of the most welcoming places I’ve been, and it’s easy to involved in the community once you know where to find it. The Downtown Edmonton Community League has been involved in everything from the 12 New Home + Condo Guide | April 1–29, 2022

development of Rogers Place to community gardens, to the development of a huge new park in the Warehouse Area. And Buyze sees continued growth and development in the next few years. Ramping up excitement is the launch of the second phase of the Station Lands by Qualico Communties, which promises to be the city core’s only master planned community. Spanning approximately 2.2 million sq. ft., Station Lands will create around 1,000 jobs for the city and could see up to 5,000 Edmontonians either calling Station Lands home or their place of work.

“The Station Lands development will provide strong support for city-wide growth policies, energy sustainability objectives, arts and culture policy, and housing in the revitalization plan area,” says Mike Saunders, Senior Vice-President, Qualico Properties. The View at Grandin City HERE AND NOW

But what is already found in Downtown Edmonton is tantalizing enough that more people are looking to live here. “The food scene is next to none, and there’s more and more amenities being built for residents to enjoy,”

Baijiu

Buyze says. “Where else can you have some of the best coffee in the city, take a walk in the river valley, enjoy a pint or dinner on a patio, take in a concert or hockey game, have a ‘staycation’ in your own community, all in the same day!” He is hugely optimistic of the re-opening of the Downtown after COVID-induced lockdowns. “Downtown Edmonton is reopening after two years. During those times we’ve seem more patios, more restaurants open up and the community really come together. This year residents can look forward to the return of summer festivals, patio dining, markets, art activations and more.” He points out that the ICE District has been a huge part of the revitalization of Downtown by bringing in more residents through the development of condos and apartments. While not fully complete yet, ICE District will be another great amenity for residents, he adds. “It compliments what already is happening Downtown, with heritage 104 Street independent shops, hotels

and restaurants on Rice Howard Way, or our amazing arts community around Churchill Square.” LIVE HERE

Westrich Pacific Corp. has been a huge believer in Edmonton’s Downtown and has two of the most popular condo towers in the area. So popular, in fact, that its Encore Tower is sold out while its The View at Grandin City is at 80 per cent sold. Cole Killeeen, Sales Manager at Westrich Pacific Corp., says living downtown is a no-brainer. “Why not? You are within walking distance to all entertainment needs. All surrounding neighborhoods are commuting to the core for either Events at Rogers Place or the fine cuisine located throughout. You eliminate the drive, parking fees/ finding a spot.” He also says that – depending on the condo you choose – there are majestic vistas to behold. “Depending on the condo you purchase you are either going to see an incredible sunrise or sunset, River valley/ nature

views or the beautiful skyline of the city towers. It’s also far enough away from the core to not hear the downtown noise allowing you to enjoy the surrounding area peacefully.” The View, he says, certainly has all of those in spades. DINE HERE

Downtown Edmonton is getting quite a reputation as a foodie haven with a host of tasty, trendy offerings. There’s way too many to list! But we have some favourites, like KB&Co, whose plant-based menu is free of meat, dairy, egg, and soy products. Every ingredient they use is organic and local whenever possible. www. kbandcompany.com. Edmonton’s international cuisine is admirably represented by a trio of delightful diners. EnVie – serves up authentic Cajun and Creole eats at 10009 107 St. (envieeats.ca); Uccelino is a modern Italian trattoria serving seasonal dishes on 10349 Jasper Ave. (corso32group.com/uccellino/); while Baijiu is a trendy, Asian fusion

cocktail bar and eatery serving small, shareable plates at 10359 104 St. (baijiuyeg.com). For coffee, breakfast or lunch, you can’t go wrong at District Café & Bakery. It’s location on 109 St. NW makes it the perfect pit stop for coffee and baked goods for every downtown office worker. Their avocado breakfast sandwich is just delish. https://districtcafe.ca HAVE FUN HERE

Buyze has some great recommendations for living it up downtown. His Top Five Experiences for the Downtown. 1. Take in an Oilers game or concert at Rogers Place, or take in a cultural event at the Art Gallery of Alberta or Citadel Theatre. If it’s summer, don’t miss Al Fresco on 4th or festivals in Churchll Square like Taste of Edmonton or CariWest 2. Take a scooter, segway or food tour of Downtown. There are lots of options to help you get to know the core. 3. Find out where the ‘locals’ like to go for a drink. Try a local patio hang-out like Rice Howard Way’s Sherlock’s or Dalla Zenari’s, or 104 Street’s Cask and Barrel or Campio Brewing. 4. Downtown is the headquarters for Edmonton’s food scene. Book a reso at award winning local eats like Bar Bricco, Bundock ,or ‘Tres Carnales Rostizado. 5. Check out some amazing views of the river valley from ‘The Leg’ or the historic Fairmont Hotel MacDonald’s front yard patio. The funicular gives everyone great access to the valley as well.

INSPIRATION |

salina’s corner

home decor Presence, optimism & joy:

with fashion flair

by SALINA YARA HALABI

he world of fashion and interior design have always influenced one another. Whether it’s trends off the runway, or a style aesthetic that’s gaining popularity on social platforms, we often see themes and colour palettes seamlessly transition from the fashion industry over to home interior finishings and decor. 2022 is no exception. After two years of global-wide disruptions, the need to break free from feelings of gloom and escape a stagnant lifestyle have reached a peak. The result? An appetite for adventure and an optimistic outlook for brighter days ahead. If you’ve recently picked up a fashion magazine, or scrolled through Instagram, you’ll see fashion that not only demands attention, but also inspires. Now, it’s time to bring that sentiment into our personal spaces. Enter maximalism. At its root, maximalism is a reaction against minimalism (think: more is more!). It’s a call for vibrant colour on walls and furniture, décor with eclectic patterns, and details that have an underlying ode to the places we miss or have been longing to visit. It’s a welcomed design shift that’s focused on establishing presence and encouraging personal expression. And, ultimately, it helps ensure that the environments we spend the most time within are igniting our imagination and providing a sense of joy. Because, after all, home should always be our happiest escape.

apartment condos by pepper rodriguez

TV sitcoms from “Seinfeld” to “Friends” to “The Big Bang Theory” have one thing in common, they all use apartment condo life as a backdrop for comedy. But there’s so much more to the real-life lifestyle offered by singlelevel, multi-family homes. Whether it’s a downtown tower, an inner-city mid-rise or a lifestyleconnected four-storey condo in the suburbs, single-level apartment style living offers a rich, fulfilling option for new home buyers who are keen on experiencing life’s every aspect. For condo buyers, it all comes down to lifestyle choice. Many believe that condo living gives them flexibility. It allows them to lock and leave, focus on things like travel, hobbies, career, personal life versus spending free time and money on home maintenance. 20 New Home + Condo Guide | April 1–29, 2022

They also offer relative affordability, as they can be the perfect first-time homebuyer opportunity – budgetfriendly and allows them to build equity. Retirees looking to age in place also see the benefit in singlelevel living. It’s a tempting option for investors, as well, and even young families are finding a fit here. Today, apartment condos have evolved from just the traditional four-storey wood frame building, and many now offer a complete lifestyle package with tons of inhouse amenities. They are thought of less as crash pad where one sleeps, to a home that offers a high quality of life. Edmonton New Home + Condo Guide spoke to a few of the city’s best condo developers to give buyers an insight on what to expect in condo living.

Since 1973, Carrington Communities has been developing Edmonton’s best-known multi-family home and are an acknowledged expert in the market. While Edmonton-based Westrich Pacific has focused on creating landmarks in the city through iconic architectural designs in unparalleled locations. Cassel Properties has also made their mark in enhanced condo living opportunities, especially with their latest development, Connaught at Griesbach. Carrington Communities

The affordability of apartment condos can never be overlooked. “With prices on the rise, you may simply be priced out of the market with a townhome or duplex,” says Carrington Communities’ marketing manager,

Courtney Provencal. “Alternatively, if you are downsizing from a larger home, the freedom of a lower mortgage payment may be appealing as you can use your savings to enjoy other things in life.” She says Carrington is also seeing buyers wanting their condos as a reflection of the lifestyle they choose. “More and more we are seeing people want to treat their condo building as an extension of their home, as part of a wider community,” she says. In their new The Edge condos, Carrington incorporated many features that encourage this type of community to flourish, starting with a two-storey boutique lobby where residents can invite friends in for drinks while waiting for an Uber, a social lounge where they can host their next event, a games room to watch the game with your neighbours, a chef’s kitchen where they can bring their family for holiday dinners, plus much more. Currently offering condos in the northwest, northeast and southwest Edmonton, Carrington Communities builds for all kinds of lifestyles and all stages of life. Provencal says what is important is the accessibility to amenities that the buyer wants. “In the downtown core you will have access to a wide variety of shops, restaurants, nightlife, transit, and the Edmonton River Valley, whereas in a subdivision you will likely have more peace and quiet with shopping centres and recreation

Carrington

a short drive away. Condos in the suburbs may be more affordable, even if they offer the same finishes and amenities as the larger downtown condos.” Location is always a key factor, she adds. “It’s important to understand what your motivation to move is. What is your commute like? Is living near restaurants and bars important to you or do you prefer the peace and quiet of a subdivision? What works for you will depend on what is motivating to buy. Carrington’s Edge development is located in the highly desirable Magrath neighbourhood in southwest Edmonton where Provencal says they have seen a wide demographic of buyers, including downsizers moving from their large homes and professionals looking for a maintenance-free lifestyle rich in amenities. The View

Edge condos offers one-, two-, and two-bed + den luxury condos from 854 – 2440 square feet. “It is a luxury location fit for luxury condos, Edge is nestled along the western edge of Whitemud Creek Ravine, giving you access to the most coveted and protected 59-acre nature reserve in Edmonton, Larch Sanctuary,” Provencal says. Prices start from $249,900. For more information, visit Carrington.ca. WestriCh paCifiC Corp.

Westrich’s various downtown developments had always appealed to a wide range of buyers – not just the business professionals, but even downsizers, young couples and many more. They are so in demand that their ENCORE Tower is nearly sold out and the follow up, The View at Grandin City, is 80 per cent sold, as well. Cole Killeen, Sales Manager at Westrich, says their focus on locations that promote healthy lifestyles within walking distance to river valley trails, trendy local businesses and financial core have been key in their success. At the View, Westrich offers both condos and townhomes, but its biggest factor right off the bat is the low-maintenance lifestyle it offers. “No shoveling the snow in the winter or clearing the ice off your car. No lawn or yard to maintain and very few upkeep items. Regarding the home itself, it’s all taken care of with the building as a whole. It offers much

higher security then a traditional home for instance only your neighbors that live on the same level have access to your floor,” he says. “It’s a very good option for a client who is constantly traveling as you simply turn the water off prior to your departure and you will have zero worries for any duration you are away.” The View is located in the quieter side of downtown in a more mature neighborhood. “It has attracted business professionals, young families and retirees looking to downsize. With it just steps away from the river valley you can enjoy the views of the river and the large trees with walking paths to get a quiet moment to yourself. In the opposite direction they will make their way onto Jasper ave with plenty of hospitality options, grocery stores and entertainment needs. The View offers a diverse range of suites whether it’s a student looking for a single bedroom or a growing family looking to upsize to a threebedroom townhouse! Units range from one-bedroom 525 square-foot units all the way up to three-bedroom 1,504 square-foot homes. “The units are moving fast with only nine of 17 floor plans remaining and 77 per cent of the suites already sold.” Go to www. westrichpacific.com for more info. Connaught at griesbaCh

Ideally situated in Northwest Edmonton, The Connaught at Griesbach is only minutes away from downtown and major transit, connecting residents to every activity they need. 22

New Home + Condo Guide | April 1–29, 2022

Living at The Connaught means not having to drive to get to great restaurants and having an abundance of unique public spaces to enjoy during a leisurely stroll. You are part of a fabulous community, which is literally right at your doorstep. Once a military base, the Village at Griesbach, was voted Alberta’s Best Community for 2019. It has since grown to feature great shops, dining and services, all showcased by beautiful architecture, as well as a man-made pond, parks and gardens all within walking distance. “After checking out seven condo buildings, my son, who lives in Griesbach said ‘mom, why don’t you look in my neighbourhood’,” says Gwen Davies, a retired teacher, who bought a three-bedroom unit here. “The kitchen is functional and absolutely gorgeous,” says Davies. “It is

Connaught at Griesbach

The View

a wonderful neighbourhood filled with lovely people … we go for walks around the pond and think to ourselves, how lucky are we to live here.” The Connaught is a family-friendly, four-storey building featuring 160 condominiums, with a selection of one-bedroom, two-bedroom, two-bedroom plus den and threebedroom suites. Ranging from 712 to 1,333 square feet, each home is thoughtfully designed with many high-end standards, such as air conditioning, designer lighting, softclose cabinets, quartz countertops in both kitchens and bathrooms, Hunter Douglas window coverings as well as spacious patios and balconies with natural gas outlets – great for entertaining family and friends on balmy nights.

Wallflower INSPIRATION |

style ﬁle

by SARA DUCK

Spruce up your space with spring-inspired floral wallpaper

o doubt you are familiar with the classic spring saying, “April showers, bring May flowers.” We hold on to the hope that by May, boom, everything will be in bloom, and suddenly all is right in our world. But don’t you wish you could capture that special spring feeling at home all year round? Besides your budding plant family, incorporating floral wallpaper will give you that springtime look, toute l’année. When choosing the right floral wallpaper, remember to select a motif that you won’t tire of. Although wallpaper has come a long way in terms of installation (hello, peel and stick!), it still takes time and effort to hang correctly. So, it’s a good idea to get a sample piece before you commit to an entire wall. And, speaking of walls, remember, less is more when working with florals. For example, you may (in a burst of spring fever) have a desire to wallpaper an entire room. While this is definitely a bold statement, you may find it overwhelming over time. Choosing to create one feature wall in a space will give you the look you are after without going over the top. Today you can find a variety of floral wallpaper to choose from in different styles and price points. Here are some of our favourites.

Trees

ADVICE | GREEN THUMB

by MARK & BEN CULLEN

here is a well-known leadership theory that says selecting one word to be your focus for the year will create clarity, passion, power and lifechanging impact. With this in mind, our word for 2022 is: Trees. Trees are the world’s most advanced breathing machines, a miracle of nature that has not been matched for efficiency and economy by anything created by humankind. We need more of them. We have all experienced the many health benefits of getting out into nature or ‘forest bathing’ – breathing clean air, watching wildlife, birds and insects while we enjoy the shade and the quiet. But most importantly, trees efficiently store carbon emissions that help to fight our climate change emergency. While it has always been this way, the number of trees is in decline. We need to act fast to save these miracles of nature and ensure a safe future for people and the planet. Design trends are finding inspiration in nature, sustainability and bringing the outdoors, inside. Perhaps you’ve been considering a landscape project for your home, be it a balcony project or a more ambitious endeavour. We also have some expansion plans. On November 11, 2022, the last tree of the Highway of Heroes Tree Campaign will be planted, marking the completion of a project that has created living tributes to Canadians

who have or who are serving during times of conflict. Seven years and $12 million later, more than two million trees will be planted by this date. This initiative has inspired us to expand our mission through our new national charity, Canadian Trees for Life. Launched in 2021, with $2 million in seed funding from Natural Resources Canada through the federal government’s 2 Billion Trees Committment program, Trees for Life wants to continue the momentum started last year, right across Canada. We planted more than 270,000 trees in 2021, and we are aiming to double that number in 2022. Trees for Life’s primary objective is to mobilize community-based tree-planting initiatives across Canada. Using our insights and networks, Trees for Life will provide Canadian tree-planting organizations with the tools, resources, and horticultural trade networks to enable them to grow existing tree-planting initiatives, implement new ones, and educate their communities about the value of trees. If you haven’t got your one-word focus for the year, consider ‘trees’, for all the life-changing impact they bring.

Join us in assisting communities across Canada to dramatically increase their tree canopies:
