CIR REALTY The action This end unit in a three-unit luxury townhouse project was put up for sale while still under construction last summer, with the builder offering up detailed renderings of its design, which includes a triple garage and an elevator. But with little interest from buyers, it was taken off the market in January. “It’s very rare you get a townhouse with a triple, attached garage and an elevator inside it,” said agent Kamil Lalji. “But in Calgary, it’s very challenging to sell off of plans; even challenging to sell 98 per cent complete.” Once fully finished this summer, it was reintroduced to the market and sold for the full asking price. The adjacent units are still seeking buyers. “As soon as we listed it, we had an offer right away,” said Mr. Lalji. “Unit three is the most desirable of the three units. “It is an end unit, and it has a private side yard, which is quite valuable if you have kids or pets. It also sides onto a green space.” Open this photo in gallery: The home's kitchen has an island and quartz countertops.
