Valmont at Aspen Stone sits serenely in an aspen forest with a peaceful pond right at its back and meandering pathways all around, it has a very fairy tale quality about it — a real dream home in a multi-family setting.

Bringing this dream to reality is Valmont’s proximity to all the major conveniences that makes life in Calgary’s Westside so easy and appealing. “The terrific shops of Aspen Landing are just across the road from us, there’s an organic food store next door, plus some unique wine shops and restaurants within walking distance,” says Ryan Doherty, Multi-Family Sales Manager at Unity Builders Group.

“Best of all, the accessibility is unbeatable, you find yourself surrounded by nature one minute and 15 minutes later you’re in downtown, even a quick trip to the mountains is all that much quicker,” Doherty adds.

However, it is the luxury offered by Valmont in Aspen Stone and the unbelievably affordable price it has that has been the undeniable key to its success. With the recent launch of additional phases there are now 120 more opportunities to become part of this one-of-a-kind community.

Even just a cursory look at the new Valmont show suite will convince anyone that the level of luxury it offers is an incredible value compared to its price, as one-bedroom units start from the $190,000’s. “A similar-sized suite in other multi-family developments on the West-end would typically offer pricing nearer the mid $200’s. Considering the level of finishes that we provide, Valmont represents an exceptional value for discerning buyers.” Doherty says.

The new B1 two-bedroom show suite is impeccably finished with high-end hardwood vinyl flooring that combines well with the optional quartz stone countertop on the island and huge windows to give it a sheen of stately elegance.

The understated functionality of the design is apparent especially in how the island combines as a terrific spot for entertaining guests and also as a convenient place to have a quick meal. The island flows from the kitchen countertops with 1-1/4-inch quartz stone throughout, it is wide enough to let you do your kitchen chores with ease and has tons of storage space and even a convenient ledge to keep chairs out of the way.

“Our interior design allows for functional meals without the necessity of a dining room table. It’s a real space-saver,” Doherty says. Dark stain cabinetry enhances the feeling of urban sophistication and an optional cabinet pantry provides even more storage space.

The B1 is 920 square-feet with two bedrooms and two baths that answers all the lifestyle needs for young couples, or singles with roommates, and even downsizers. “Each bedroom has its own bathroom with double vanities providing residents with an incredibly functional space for everyday needs,” Doherty says.

The in-floor heating system is also a nice touch, which allows the designers to actually maximize the livability of every inch of space. The nine-foot ceilings add to the allure, and the dropdown portion in the kitchen lends a visual kick, especially with the top-end lighting package it comes with.

“We make sure every little detail is looked after, from soft-close drawers to the polished chrome fixtures—everything speaks of sophistication, luxury and elegance,” Doherty says. “It helps that we partnered with an interior designer to come up with unique looks within each of our floor plans.”

Valmont at Aspen Stone offers one-bedroom suites ranging from 605 to 675 square-feet, while two-bedroom models range from 920 to 1,385 square-feet. All are finished in a sleek urban style that is as functional as it is aesthetic.

Valmont defines luxury in the eight floor plans it offers by adding a touch of stately sophistication to match the richness of its surroundings. “The community of Aspen is filled with million-dollar homes, and homes in Valmont match this quality of life at a fraction of the price,” Doherty says.

The unique look of the four-storey buildings — with their rich exterior detail - blends well with the stunning contours of the community. “People pay a premium to live in the west side of Calgary, but living in Valmont affords west-side benefits without the cost.”
