We rented a condo for our trip through Expedia. The building is in downtown Calgary near the…read morewaterfront. The building is new and very modern. You will need a key fob to get in and use it at several entrances since the building is very secure. The front desk will not assist you at all if you are a vacation renter however. Our condo was the perfect size for the two of us. It was clean and modern. The only downfall was the pigeon problem. We could not use our balcony because there was pigeon poop all over. The Waterfront is centrally located and an easy walk to shops, points of interest, restaurants, and bars.

I know you know this particular building because it's patchwork of coloured glass makes it an obvious funky hip location. Never in my wildest dreams would I imagine setting foot inside because I assumed owning property there was not within reach. Today with the recent good news of a mortgage approval I thought why not? What would I lose if I walked in? Battistella office generously gives half of its space to a Calgarian artist, a new artist each month as a matter of fact. They decided to partnership with the arts community and offer an artist a space to paint and to sell without commission. So walking into the office is like walking into a gallery. Such nice guys at Battistella! Glen met me at the door and had such a relaxed tone that I managed the courage to actually ask him about the places available in the building. He took me to a wall and explained the pricing of the different floors of the building and exactly what was available. The blueprints are actually printed on the wall of the Battistella office so you get a great visual of what to expect. He then proceeded to show me two amazing suites which had polished cement floors and great floor to ceiling city views with very modern layouts. He explained at 1000 dollars down you could actually put a space at Colours on hold for two weeks, if you changed your mind within that time they would refund your money for you without penalty. But if you wanted to continue with your transaction a 10% minimum deposit and the proper paperwork could basically get you the keys to your own brand new crib! I was floored; he made it sound so easy and so affordable. Basically with a small deposit and the mortgage to back you up, condo fees, and taxes you could own one of those puppies and pay $1,300 a month. Now don't many people in Calgary already pay this for rent? So imagine the ease, you can actually own a property here and pay perhaps even less than you pay for rent. He was so easy to talk to, and knew so much about the building because he is in fact one of the builders. The building itself is one of 5 projects they have in the city and the detail to specifications, design, down to selling information is so well thought out. Today I walked away like I was walking on a cloud. I was so grateful that Glen made the tour and the information so easy to understand I felt less intimidated and more optimistic about Colours as a buying option.

Karen King and Associates has been fantastic to clean condo buildings through. I own Glass Castle…read moreServices and currently clean 2 small buildings for them. Here is what I like so far. 1. Karen king and associates seems to run a good ship as Alan Ribano and Justine Dzierzon make sure I'm paid on time or even early. As a small business this helps a lot. 2. They get back to me promptly on building issues and concerns. 3. Many people at the sites I clean let me know that Alan does a great job. Thanks for trusting me and my team to keep our clients safe and have a great summer ahead.

Karen King Property management was one of the worst experiences myself AND a large number of my…read moreneighbors have ever had. We had repeatedly made formal complaints of high heat in the buildings. And were gaslit saying it was our individual units and our problem and that nobody else was complaining. The parkade was consistently running at 30 - 33 degrees, the common hallways and stairwells were running at 31 degrees and of course the residual heat brings unit temperatures up. Main floor tenants were experiencing temperatures of 26 - 30 degrees in their units throughout all seasons. The maintenance company they had hired are just as incompetent as they are. This is a huge health and safety concern, and it feels like health lawsuits waiting to happen. We have many pets, elderly, children and individuals with immuno compromised systems and being exposed to constant temperatures like this is hazardous for a healthy individual. The last administrative assistant they had answering emails did not care in the slightest, and would consistently dismiss any concerns. They had recently stopped maintaining land which our condo fees were paying for, this is another safety concern at this was happening in the winter as well as other seasons. There are so many layers to this very problematic company. We have recently gained a new management company, and have high hopes they will properly take care of our areas. Please DO NOT hire them, and before buying a property please see who the property management is. They are horrific. If I could give them no stars, I would.
