Visitors to the Riverside Quays Phase I are greeted by a friendly concierge who provides additional security to the building.   The Riverside Quays Phase I seems to built with community, diversity and healthy lifestyle in mind. I say this because they developers have focused an inordinate amount of time and expense in developing community amenities which will appeal to todays young professional.

It’s enormous) comes equipped with an endless supply of modern weight and fitness training equipment.  When you tire out, just take a break in the modern and spacious Quay’s Bistro (Yet to open).  All areas are accessible to handicapped persons by way of a functional and state of the art lift.  As one might expect, there is also a his and hers shower and steam facility fit for a king.  The change rooms each have three private showers and sinks.

GrandView Condo Calgary

The GrandView Condo is one of Calgary’s better kept secrets.  You probably drove by it a dozen times and barely took notice of it, as one will with the city growing so quickly.  The GrandView Condo is not to be overlooked however as a contender for one of the finer, well established condominiums in the city. The GrandView Condo is located at 228 26th Ave SW., Calgary, AB, directly across from the Elbow River, just off of the 4th Street bridge, which connects the communities of Mission & Roxboro.  The location is quite beautiful and quiet, and is adjacent to the city’s bike path. The GrandView Condo was designed by Gibbs Gage Architects and built by  Streetside Developments both out of Calgary and comprises mostly 1 and two bedroom units from $500,000 to over $1,000,000.  The GrandView Condo is has one of the few copper roofs to grace our city.

The GrandView high-rise Condo was completed in 2002.  Since this is a year around website, the pictures were taken early winter, but be assured that in the summer, the area is filled with an abundance of greenery.   The GrandView houses 16 delightful floors of luxurious living quarters numbering fifty-six.  Most of these well constructed, high-end units have great views, often in many directions, and all have balconies.

You will know that the Grandview is no ordinary condominium immediately upon approaching the striking building since it is one of the few condos in the city that has automatic entry doors.   It is also one of the few buildings that has around the clock concierge and security service.  The concierge service is very good, and they tend to stay around for quite some time, so they get to know the unit holders quite well.

The lobby in the GrandView is kept impeccably clean at all times.   The building itself has incredibly tight security and unfamiliar faces are carefully monitored via the reasonably conspicuous security cameras.
