Developer Sarina Homes is following a trend emerging on the streets of Marda Loop as mature single-detached dwellings give way to denser mid-rise developments. Named after its main street address, Avenue 33 brings refined design to the business revitalization zone by retaining the creative talent of FAAS Architecture.
The five-storey boutique condominium reflects the natural beauty of Alberta in its building materials. The contemporary design rejects the glass walls often employed in modern residential projects, opting instead for warm cedar accents against contrasting black and white backgrounds. Inside, the 36-unit project will boast one- to three-bedroom floor plans, with urban-type lofts looking towards the city. Some of the suites span two storeys and possess 400 square feet of outdoor space. Quartz countertops, Kohler faucets and sinks, and air conditioning — often not supplied in Calgary condominiums — come standard at Avenue 33.
Though the project was in the works well before new provincial energy efficiency requirements took effect on November 1, the team was proactive in ensuring the development aligned with those rules. As a result of their commitment to sustainable design, Avenue 33 is one of Calgary's first buildings to meet the new National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings.
The development will be constructed on the southeast corner of 33rd Avenue and 19th Street SW where two homes and a church are slated for demolition. It marks a fresh direction for Sarina Homes, which has focused primarily on urban townhouse development up until now. Avenue 33 residents — who will have to fork out between $300,000 and $550,000 to live here — will be part of a persistent densification of this key corridor.
