Mantra by Groupe Denux and Castera Prop in Marda Loop

If you’re in the market for a condo, you won’t want to miss out on an extraordinary offer available at Mantra in Marda Loop.

Developers Groupe Denux and Castera Properties have created an incredible mortgage incentive that makes it easier for people to get into ownership, says Calvin Buss, president of Buss Marketing, which has launched sales at Mantra.

“From now until Aug. 31, we are offering buyers, who qualify for a mortgage, a 1.99 per cent mortgage for three years,” Buss says. “That amounts to a big savings for buyers – it will save them thousands of dollars each year for a full three years; money they can use each month to enhance other important aspects of their lifestyle.”

“It’s the best incentive available for buyers in Calgary, and should draw a lot of interest,” he says, adding that people can learn more by visiting the sales centre.

Located at 21st Street and 35th Avenue S.W., Mantra has tremendous appeal being just steps away from a Safeway, a Starbucks and a wide range of shops, services and eateries in Marda Loop.

“The location hits a 97 walking score, which is really desirable,” Buss says, noting Mantra is attracting interest from young professionals and first-time buyers to right-sizers and empty nesters.

“We’re getting a very positive response and sales are going well. Buyers love that they can walk to all the amenities in Marda Loop; they’re a half-block to bus service that takes Crowchild Trail so they can be downtown in minutes.”

Mantra is a stylish four-storey building with 33 suites consisting of a 50/50 split between one- and two-bedroom designs ranging from just under 500 sq. ft. to more than 900 sq. ft. on the first three floors.

The fourth floor features four gorgeous corner-unit penthouse suites offering three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a large kitchen island, two electric fireplaces, huge pantry space and a flex space with plans ranging from 1,278-1,392 sq. ft.

“Mantra offers contemporary interiors with large windows, balconies with gas hookups and top grade features and finishings including stone countertops with tile backsplashes, digital gas stoves with set-in grill, wide plank flooring, nine-ft. ceilings, in-suite laundry with washer and dryer and five-ft. glass walk-in showers,” Buss says.

The building has underground parking for residents and guests, storage units, a car and dog wash station and bicycle storage.

An exceptional bonus feature is a new electric Smart car that will be given to the condo board for use by all residents at no cost. Residents just need to sign it in and out, and it has its own parking stall and super charging station; green, clean and available 24/7.

“People love that Mantra offers excellent finishes with a price point that starts at $227,000, a quiet location that also places them close to conveniences and that they can get possession as early as December 15,” Buss says.
