“This is simply one of the most exciting developments this city has ever seen,” says Norb Park of Selling Systems Inc., the company marketing SASSO for Edmonton-based Cove Properties. “We’re pioneering growth on the eastern edge of the urban core and providing condo buyers and investors with a great opportunity to get in on the ground floor.”

SASSO’s urban energy is reflected in its Euro inspired design by leading architects Abugov Kaspar. Tyndall stone exteriors are a superb compliment to the striking expanse of glass that makes SASSO as impressive from within every suite as it is an impressive addition to the urban skyline. The first tower is 24 storeys with 204 apartment condos and the second is 35 floors with an additional 300 units. Commercial development at the street level, with a mosaic of restaurants, markets, cafes and shops, forms the foundation for SASSO’s fabulous plaza. When complete, the plaza level will feature 28,000 square feet of gorgeous roof top landscaping complete with a covered gazebo, fire pit and barbecue areas, including one for booking private functions. Central to both towers is SASSO’s amenity centre with plaza level access to the exclusive juice bar and sports lounge and hot tub, spa and fitness facility.

SASSO’s comprehensive on-site sales center gives buyers a virtual tour of this ultimate urban experience with a scale model of the development, video presentation of the shape of things to come and gallery displays that showcase SASSO’s creative interior arrangement and huge selection of floorplans. Knowledgeable sales staff is on hand to assist buyers in choosing the right space from one or two bedroom and plus den plans that range in size from the 622 sq. ft. Arman to the 1901 sq. ft. Sassari two-storey penthouse.

Sleek, clean and contemporary ó just what you need to feel at home and just what you see in SASSO’s two model suites. Designed to put you in your place, the model suites highlight creative use of space and upscale quality finishing that you can expect to see in your own suite at SASSO.

Open kitchens feature flat panel maple cabinets with extended matte finish laminate counter top for easy food preparation and convenient casual dining. SASSO’s featured appliance package includes a self-cleaning range, 21 cu.-ft. refrigerator, ultra-quiet dishwasher and over range microwave/hood fan.

Handset tile backsplash, premium fixtures, designer lighting and tiled flooring in kitchens and entries are standard in all suites with variances in each of SASSO’s finish and upgrade packages. Check out the stylin’ retro freize shag carpet in main living areas and don’t overlook the awesome skyline and mountain views from full-height windows.

Easy-living extras include spacious private balconies, sheer weave roller blinds, in-suite laundry including stacked washer/dryer, heated secure underground parking, wiring for high speed Internet and so much more.

Style, luxury and convenience are only part of the SASSO experience. It’s hard to imagine a better location given that SASSO is within walking distance of downtown, the Talisman Center, Stampede Park and Saddledome, the Elbow River pathway system and all the urban delights along 17th Avenue, 4th Street Connector and Stephen Avenue. If you’re headed farther than your feet will take you, major road travel links and public transit services and are only moments away.

When it comes to investing in real estate, timing is as important as location. Getting in on the ground floor has definite advantages.

“Smart buyers are the ones that get in early because they know they can make SASSO home, watch the area develop around them and get a great lift on the investment they’ve made,” says Park.

SASSO’s one bedroom designs start from the $140,000’s, two-bedrooms from the $180,000’s and stunning penthouse suites from the $350,000’s.
