High-rise condo at Calgary

602 12th Ave. S.E, Calgary, AB

Lamb Development Corp. is proud to present The Orchard, a high-rise condo in Calgary that will be anchored by an acre of park space laced with 66 apple trees bearing about 100,000 apples in the middle of the city, taking the concept of green to a whole new level.

The pair of 31-storey, rectangular glass-sheathed towers will be placed 60 metres apart on the west and east corners of the site at right angles to each other, creating a sculptural T, adding architectural interest and allowing for maximum light to flow through, keeping homes light and airy. The towers will house 485 homes, ranging from 521 square feet to almost 2,000 square feet. Designs range from one-bedroom to one-bedroom plus den and two-bedroom plans, along with a collection of penthouse floor plans.

Residents will be able to walk around the orchard, pick an apple or two, find a shaded spot on a park bench, and relax with a book in hand, all while living in a bustling cosmopolitan city. This kind of facility has never been proposed before. For years to come, The Orchard will be the buzz of the developing world.

In terms of urban convenience, everything in this region is within walking distance. The Orchard is only minutes away from everything you need, including retail, shopping, restaurants, schools, a variety of entertainment venues, and public transit. Furthermore, the property is within a short walk of its designated community parks, trails, and protected greenspace.

Transportation

The area has a comprehensive transportation network that comprises road, rail, aviation, public transit, and pedestrian infrastructure, which explains why it received a transit score of 74. Calgary Transit also maintains a bus system that covers the whole city. It is a 10-minute walk from the 201 Red Line-Solitude-Bridlewood/Tuscany CTrain station stop and offers almost 4,500 kilometres of bus routes.

Also, because of its high level of walkability and profusion of transit choices (including public transit access and car-sharing programs), possessing a vehicle in the region is a choice rather than a necessity.

Education

Families will like living here because of the wide range of amenities offered, notably the area’s top educational institutions. The University of Alberta – Calgary Centre and the University of Lethbridge Calgary Campus are both within a 5-minute drive away, making them very appealing to postsecondary students.

Riverdale School, Colonel Macleod School, Children’s Village School, Delta West Academy, and many others are among the region’s finest primary and secondary institutions.

Outdoor

One of the key advantages for The Orchard condominium residents is the availability of shopping, dining, and recreational activities. Marlborough Mall, a vast, fashioned mall with a great selection of major and small retailers, spas, services, and restaurants, is only an 8-minute drive away.

Furthermore, because there are so many public spaces and parks nearby, families are free to spend as much time as they like outdoors. Bottomlands Park, Murdoch Park, and Nellie Breen Park are all great areas to spend time with nature.
