CONVENIENTLY LOCATED five minutes from downtown on Bow Trail, the 32-storey building exudes an air of quiet sophistication that commands attention and elicits a sense of adoring envy.

Ovation includes 159 sophisticated condominium homes, in which many span two storeys and can boast up to nearly 3,500-square-feet of luxurious living space.

The lobby itself oozes opulence, as visitors are welcomed to the sounds of water flowing over a sculpture fountain, travertine marble floors, sensuous sconces and wood wall veneer.

Ranging from 900-square-feet to approximately 3,232-square-feet on penthouse levels, Ovation offers buyers seven unique floor plans to choose from, which range from one-floor apartments and lofts to two-storey units. 

Inside each home you’ll find a list of sought-after standard features such as imported ceramic tile from Europe, high-end cabinetry work, stainless steel appliances, exotic hardwood floors, a gas cook-top stove with electric convection bake oven, hand-crafted granite counter tops, heated towel bars in the bathroom, ceramic tile floors in all kitchens and bathrooms, nine-foot ceilings and much more.

Every unit has been carefully designed to take advantage of the spectacular views surrounding the community—the majestic Rocky Mountains and rolling foothills, the Bow River Valley, Shaganappi Point Golf Course and the scintillating skyline of the city’s downtown core.

 “It’s a lifestyle of luxury living,” says Abed Itani, president of Intergulf-Cidex Development Group. “You don’t feel like you are surrounded by concrete buildings. We wanted to make sure no view was ruined. Anywhere you buy in the tower you are going to be open to substantial city views, river valley views and mountain views that won’t be obstructed.”

In addition to living in the lap of luxury, residents of Ovation can also enjoy their own private club. A short walk through a glass-covered plus-15 will lead you to your private club, where one can enjoy a few laps in the indoor pool, a workout in the fitness facilities, a game of pool in the recreation area or kick up their feet and relax in the indoor hot tub.

Or if you’re in the mood for shopping, Westbrook Mall, which houses more than 60 shops, restaurants and services, is only a short walk away.

Inside and out, Ovation puts the spotlight on sophisticated living. With units starting in the $450,000 range, it’s no wonder Ovation, which was unveiled during the May long weekend, is already more than 50 per cent sold. 
“It really feels like we are doing the right thing,” says Itani “These units really have the best of all worlds. We have done a lot of research into what people want.”

Construction on Ovation is underway and scheduled to be completed by 2009. Together, the three high-rise towers will be home to nearly 500 residences, making it the largest residential development of its kind in Alberta.

Intergulf-Cidex Development Group currently has eleven projects on the go throughout Calgary that range from single-family homes and high-rises to multi family wood frame homes and mixed-use sites. CL
