Construction at Waterfront is well underway and Waterfront is proven to be the most sought after address in Calgary! We wanted to take this opportunity to give you a short update on the progress of this exciting new waterfront community.

Construction Update
 
Construction on Waterfront has been proceeding ahead of schedule.  At this point in time, we are about to complete the final floor of the parkade and are ready to start on the above ground work of ONE Waterfront. You'll soon start to see this beautiful community take shape.

TWO Waterfront is a collection of 133 homes located in Waterfront’s tallest tower. With fantastic views of the city skyline, Prince’s Island Park and the Bow River this is proven to be the most popular tower in the community. Modern and sophisticated features such as granite entry threshold, wide plank hardwood flooring, elegant gas fireplace, polished stone countertops and top-of-the line stainless steel appliances are what make Waterfront stand apart.

Waterfront News  |  November 2008

We hope you had a chance to enjoy the outdoors this summer. We've been entertained by the ducks in the river and the rabbits in the garden from our patio at the Discovery Centre, and waving to the folks as they tube down the river. It was also good to connect with many of you again at our Stampede event and when you stop by the Discovery Centre with friends and family.
 
We are happy to report that over the spring and summer, 32 additional families have joined the Waterfront community as your neighbours and we continue to host new visitors every day.
 
If you have come by the site lately, you will see that construction is on schedule and the first tower is making its presence known on Riverfront Avenue SW. At this point in time, we have begun forming the columns and other vertical elements of the eighth floor of the first tower. The backfilling operation is in progress around the outside of the parkade, and the parkade itself is almost complete. Our first windows will be arriving in the beginning of November, with the interior work scheduled to begin during the first quarter of 2009.

We are also very excited to present the amenity spaces for your review. Check out the renderings by visiting www.waterfrontcalgary.com clicking the 'Life' tab and selecting 'Amenities'. Click on the white dots on the dollhouse view to see the renderings. We hope you will agree that the high quality of design and finishing represents the way you want to live.
 
Feel free to forward this message to your friends and family to show them the progress of your new home and do drop by for a visit at the Waterfront Discovery Centre at 104 - 2nd Street SW. We are open 11am to 5pm (except Fridays).

We hope to see you soon,

Waterfront News | July 16, 2009

The summer selling season has been very busy so far at the Waterfront Sales Centre with over 40 gorgeous homes sold at Waterfront in one month! We have 9 suites left priced below $300,000 and also have a selection of spectacular view homes at very attractive prices. Call us today to book an appointment or stop by our Sales Centre between 11-5pm to learn about the amazing opportunities still available!

The Waterfront Construction Team is very excited about the rapid progress of the first tower. Exterior windows are now installed to the 16th floor, interiors have been framed up to the 11th floor and the full complement of interior finishes is now beginning to complete on the lower floors. Tower Two is on schedule to reach grade in the fall.

The number of condos sold in June 2009 was up 33% from the same time last year, and up 13% over May 2009. Affordable prices, low interest rates and pent-up demand have all been factors in seeing a return to a balanced market. "Should this trend continue, I think we can confidently say the bottom of the market has come and gone," said Bonnie Wegerich, President of the Calgary Real Estate Board. To view the June 2009 CREB Stats, click here.

We are pleased to report that the Calgary Sun featured Waterfront on July 4th. The writer, Myke Thomas, was very impressed with the quality of the finishings, the amazing prices, as well as the prime downtown location. Click here to read all about it!

Stay tuned for our Weekly Feature Home where we will introduce the features and benefits of our various suite types.
