Exclusive luxury condo lifestyle found in Capella

Brookfield Residential is reinventing inner city living with its new Capella condos in University District; as it blends luxury, style and functionality in a one-of-a-kind development within a one-of-a-kind community.

Capella weaves a rich tapestry of sleek style and spacious livability centred on luxury condo living. Its location in the heart of University District, which has certainly become the most compelling, connected community in the northwest – if not all of Calgary –is also a big part of its appeal.
Capella, Brookfield Residential’s second multi-family development in University District following the highly successful Ivy, offers two distinct home styles: apartment-style condos and executive single-level residences.

Its contemporary condo apartment collection offers well-planned and well-executed floorplans with one- and two-bedroom residences. Elisa Plett, Community Manager at Capella, says these come with gourmet kitchens, spa-inspired, ensuite bathrooms, outdoor spaces and layout options that ensure you will find the perfect home to suit your every need. “The Condos at Capella offer a uniquely elevated urban experience,” she says.

The apartment condo building, currently under construction, features an underground parkade.

A two-storey lobby with glass atrium adds to its glam, and an in-house fitness studio brings even more convenience to its residents who also get to enjoy a beautiful courtyard in the middle of the complex.

“The condo apartment homes have three interior style collections that offer a wide array of options that can also be mixed and matched. The opportunity to personalize these homes are coming to an end soon!” Plett says.

While Capella’s Estate Single Level Residences – a first of its kind in Calgary - blends the livability of a bungalow with the convenience of a townhome. They offer 10-foot expansive interior ceilings, oversized windows, and open concept floorplans. They also feature luxurious master suites with walk in closets and an oasis of an ensuite, a large kitchen, dedicated dining room easily large enough for six or more, a flex space, a second bedroom and bath, as well a covered private balcony – all on one level!

It is simply a grand, luxurious one-floor lifestyle set inside a multi-family building that comes with all the glamour and luxury of an estate bungalow.

Estate Single Level Residences only have six to eight residences per building, each with a private balcony, private garage and semi-private elevator. These two- and three-bedroom homes range in size from 1,300 to 2,000 square-feet. “These homes also receive a fully curated interior selections experience at the Studio by Brookfield Residential with full opportunity to personalize the home,” she adds

A recently opened in-building showhome is available to view that tell the story of just how grand these suites are. Plett believes these suites are the answer to the downsizer’s need for a scaled down space that retains an elevated lifestyle.

“The goal was to create a grand, luxurious space that elevates life beyond the constraints of a typical condominium,” Plett says. “We aimed to make these homes feel like a bungalow inside a maintenance free, lock-and-leave lifestyle condo building, and people have confirmed that Capella has done just that.”

Capella’s apartment condos start from the $300,000s, while the Estate Single Level Residences are from the $700,000s.

Whether choosing an apartment condo or an Estate Single-Level Residence, buyers at Capella get a connected, modern lifestyle that fits well with the vision for the entire University District.

Plett says University District is the perfect community for a development like Capella, as its all-age, inclusive nature, close to all amenities and recreational opportunities make it a community for today.

Life is already established around the growing number of amenities in the community, even as new exciting retailers open at the University District, including Sesame, YYC Cycle, Village Ice Cream, Cineplex, Save-On-Foods, Market Wines, Monogram Coffee and more.

Capella is a complete community in and of itself, attracting a great cross section of buyers. “At Capella, we are seeing a diverse mix of buyers. We have seen an even amount of downsizers, younger professionals (mostly healthcare and University faculty) and some masters students/first time buyers,” Plett says.

“The Estate Single Level Residences offer a downsize alternative with considerably less compromise and the Capella condos offer an incredible location, functional designs and an overall ease of lifestyle for those that do not want the maintenance and upkeep that comes with a tradition single family home.”

Capella’s location nestled between the University District’s Northwest Commons Park and the North Dog Park/Fountain area, have been a big draw for our homeowners.

“The vision behind Capella was to create a true community within a community,” Plett says. “We wanted to create a development that people would choose as their forever home. We focused on achieving a lower density overall and creating a real sense of connection as you wander from the Northwest Commons Park, through the two-storey breezeway and into the central Capella courtyard. Capella continues to stand out within the University District and is coming to life in such a beautiful way!”
