For $600 more a month I should get royalty level laundering and folding of my drawers.

Lmao! They want twice what I pay for what is essentially an identical location and identical unit size. What a bunch of boobs.

For reference, I'm on the third floor, studio, 4 Street and 20 Ave SW, $695/mo all utilities included. However, to be fair it is a very old building and no in-suite laundry, I use a laundromat actually. But for half the price, the hilarity of those prices at this building still holds up. #studentlife

Yikes, I payed that for a 3 bedroom townhouse a couple years ago.

These prices are definitely inflated. Although I said the same thing about Underwood and they look like they've had success.

I pay $1210 for just under 600 sq ft in a new building in the Beltline.

Depending on the actual price, it's $2.50 to $3 per square foot for two bedroom units. SoDo and Underwood are both in the $2.50 ballpark; a number of other new buildings (Versus, Portfolio, Cube, Fifteen15, 1215, Hat East Village) tend to be in the $2.20 per square foot range, more or less. I think there is a market perhaps for a mostly millennial crowd who value a lot of fancy amenities in their building, and a good location near a lot of places to eat/drink/etc and just don't spend a ton of time in their suite, so they don't want anything large. But it is still a high price.

The 2 bedroom units aren't too bad compared to other buildings. The studios are close to $3.60/sq ft, which is insane.

Underwood claims their rates are introductory. As in, plan on a hike when you need to renew. But the rates are definitely pushing the max already.

 

[Sky of Blue]

There are significant factors in commanding a high price for a tiny studio in the beltline/downtown in one of the newer condo buildings. The biggest being when there is a heated underground parking stall and storage unit included in the rental.

Not to carry this discussion on but...
I'm assuming those rate start at 1300 on the bottom floor? Scary considering I pay $1250 for 800sf 2bd, live on the 8th floor with a view of 17th ave, and I'm 4 blocks away. Glad I moved when I did though. And mind you it's a 70's building but still. I thought 1215 on 5st was expensive at $1500 for a 1bedroom!

I'm really liking Park Central so far. It's a great addition to that area.

The cinder block wall looks a bit better now that they've polished it, or whatever they didi to it. It doesn't really go with the building, but at least it has a finished look to it.

 

[Beltline_B]

I like everything about this one. A real improvement to the area, and a win in every regard.

 

[BKha]

I'm with you on that. I would like to see more developments like this in Calgary.

 

[Urban4Lyfe]

Agreed looks great!
