The Calgary Real Estate Review

The The Copperwood Condominium complex in Spruce Cliff is a spectacular complex from  Sandlewood Developments.   It was constructed in three phases, with the last of 3 phases being finished in 2010.  The expansive Copperwood landmark is located just North and west  of the Shaganappi Golf Course and very nearby Westbrook Shopping Mall, Westbrook Park,  the LRT SW Extension on Bow Trail, and Sarcee Trail.  The Copperwood complex can be a little overwhelming if one is not familiar with it so it is a good idea to bring someone familiar with the layout if you are going for the first time.

The Coppercrown and Amenities Building is located on the South-West corner of the Copperwood complex and is the last of the project to be completed.  The amenities building may be utilized by all unit-holders of Copperwood, and not just those living in Coppercrown. The address for the Coppercrown is  24 Hemlock Crescent SW, Calgary.  It is a subdivision of the Barely-Blended Bare-Land Copperwood Condominium Plan #0211057 which was split into three phases.

PHASE III

UNIT 1 – COPPERCROWN – Registered on Condominium Plan 0912021 – Consists of the most Southerly and notably most prestigiously visible portion of the building has nine floors.  There are 103 units #245 to 485.  #485 is common property, #348 is the Amenities building for the entire complex and #346 and #347 are the two penthouse apartments on the 9th floor.  There are roughly 103 parking stalls on two levels. Prices in the Coppercrown range from the low 3’s to over $1 million for one of the penthouse units. Sandlewood Custom Cabinets are incorporated throughout emphasizing the finest components and manufacturing practices.

UNIT 2 – Situated on the Copperwood’s east side,  Buildings A2000 and B1000 of 24 Hemlock Crescent SW are registered on Plan 0211551.   There are 67 living units and 102 parking stalls, with a terrace on the 4th floor.

COMMENTS

REALTOR® lockboxes are located in some of the ramps to the parkade.   This makes showing condominiums in these buildings extremely time consuming and frustrating for both agent and buyer, especially when the agent is showing a number of units at the same time, all in different buildings. Often, keys are already out and what should have taken a half hour ends up taking two hours.  This is not in the best interest of the unit holders and is frankly a real nuisance  for the buyers who may already be irritable before they even get their foot in the door.  While the inconvenience is repeated in many condos in the city, I hope that the condo boards around the City of Calgary will take a serious look at improving the “showability” of their units.

While this information is believed to be accurate, it is not warranted to be so. If you have an interest in purchasing or selling a condo in the Copperwood, please contact me.
