Zen in Redstone Calgary by Avalon Master Builders

Avalon Master Builder is proving it’s in tune with what condo buyers desire by bringing together stylish, livable designs, well-appointed interiors and energy efficiency – all at a great price point – with its appropriately named ZEN in Redstone.

“We’re very excited about the positive response ZEN is getting from buyers; we’re already 40 per cent sold and have our first three buildings occupied with a fourth ready for April, so buyers can get immediate possessions,” says Sales and Marketing Manager Terra Davidson. “People love the flexibility of floorplan; that they can get three, four or five bedrooms so the family can grow into it. We’re attracting a lot of young couples, young families and first-time buyers.

“We also appeal to YYC employees because we’re only 12 minutes away from the terminal,” Davidson says. “We’ve heard from some WestJet employees who bought in Airdrie and now feel they’re too far out and want a closer location. We also offer a $2,500 discount to YYC employees on top of any promotion we may have and currently we’re offering a ‘Live Free for Three Months’ promo, which is getting a lot of interest.

“Over the last little while, we’ve seen mortgage rules change, but with lending rates still low it’s a good time to buy before they go up,” she notes.

ZEN Redstone is comprised of 56 two-storey townhomes ranging between 1,100 and 1,200 sq. ft. featuring two or three bedrooms, 1.5 to 2.5 bathrooms starting at $279,900. The homes has basements that can be developed to bump the number of bedrooms to five and add another bathroom and optional wet bar.

“We pride ourselves in offering function over form so we offer really smart plans with open spaces and lots of storage, and buyers love the way we build having the durability and energy-efficiency built-in,” Davidson says. “Our homes in Redstone present a nice clean look and open concept plans with five different models to choose from.”

These homes present high standard finishes such as quartz countertops, laminate flooring, stainless steel appliances, maple cabinets that rise to the ceiling and full-height tile backsplash, “so people really don’t need to upgrade,” she adds. “The kitchens are full-sized and offer great functional designs and different layouts so buyers can choose whichever one best suits their lifestyle.”

Buyers will also be able to choose from four designer colour packages as well as a variety of upgraded options or they can choose to totally customize their homes. Each home comes with a fenced backyard and a parking space. Every home is also EnerGuide rated, and Avalon offers ZEN 190 guaranteeing what the utility usage will be and if it’s over, the homeowner is compensated.

ZEN Redstone also offers a great location within walking distance to future neighbourhood conveniences and is minutes away from major routes such as Metis, Stoney and Deerfoot Trails for quick commutes and ease of getting around the city. It’s also close to a wide range of shopping opportunities in the northeast including CrossIron Mills mall.
