Consisting of 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom units and over a 30,000-square-foot retail space, Argyle is the perfect combination of function, style and convenience. Featuring an underground parkade, community garden, health and fitness area, lounge area and more.

“We’re thrilled to be continuing our success story in University District,” says Charron Ungar, CEO of Homes by Avi. “To be selected as one of the builders in this community is quite an honour. This community sets the bar extremely high for developers in Calgary and across Canada and North America. We value the trust that our purchasers have in us. Our first project in University District sold-out in record time and we’re already 70 per cent sold-out of this new development. So, we’re excited for our purchasers and homeowners to see the final results from our vision.”
