Tarjan Pointe Calgary

Tarjan Pointe is located at 1111 6th Ave SW,  in the  West End of Downtown Calgary. directly across from The Marquis, just East of Discovery Pointe, North of West Pointe Plaza and West of the Axxis.  It is a very high density zone very nearby the Bow River and Bike paths, with excellent access to Calgary Transit and the C-Train.  It was built in 2005 and is registered on Condominium Plan 0511941. Tarjan Pointe is a project of formidable scale as you can see and has almost an unlimited number of different views and floor plans.  Tarjan Pointe was the brain-child of Point of View Developments.   It is one of the few buildings in the city which include heat, water and electricity in the condo fees.

West Pointe Plaza Calgary

The entrance is set back a bit so it is barely noticeable in this densely populated, relatively obscure little corner of our city.  West Pointe Plaza is nestled amongst the Axxis condo on the East, Tarjan Pointe on the North and Discovery Pointe on the Northwest, and Westmount Place on the South, it is barely visible, with no identifiable markings except the address – “683” except if you happen to glance upward at the address.  It was a very cold and blusterous day when these photos were taken.

West Pointe Plaza Calgary West Pointe Plaza was constructed in 2001 and is twenty-one stories high. The two  Penthouse Units on the 21st floors and the larger suites on the 19th and 20th Floors have spectacular views from the spectacular and recognizable  “crown” which  can be seen in the photo below. Most of the West facing units have a great view of the Bow River and Rocky Mountains.

There are two “Richard” wood-finished elevators in the West Pointe Plaza.   There is a good selection of floor plans and sizes, with most leaning toward a more traditional layout, which is kind of nice to see.   Visitors of West Point Plaza are first welcomed to a pleasing and beautiful water feature and then directed to the elevators in behind it.

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.
