Ever dream of owning your own castle with beautiful mountain views and everything you could possibly need at your fingertips?

If so, your dreams are about to come true. Believe it or not, your Casel is waiting right here in the inner city of Calgary.

Located on 17 Avenue and 24 Street S.W. in the community of Killarney, Niklas Group’s Casel is a nine-story, 56-unit masterpiece that oozes the word posh around every nook and cranny.
Each sleek, high-end, and modern suite contains a European flair, which has been attracting buyers from all walks of life since sales began in November 2007.

  Starting in the low $300,000s, the condos range in size from 676 square-feet to 1,243 square-feet, with eight carefully-crafted floor plans to choose from, available with one or two bedrooms.
Once you walk through the front door, one is immediately overcome by the great city and mountain views, along with the enormous sense of space thanks to the large floor to ceiling windows and nine-foot ceilings.

The rest of the standard features—Corian countertops, stainless steel appliances, a washer and dryer, exotic walnut hardwood, sleek hardware, custom contemporary European-style kitchens, berber carpet and a choice of three designer colour schemes—are simply the icing on a delicious cake.

And since there are only eight units per floor, residents can easily get to know their neighbours or enjoy some peace and quiet as they retreat back to their homes.

“You can just sit back and enjoy an absolutely breathtaking suite,” says Niklas Group sales and marketing manager, Aileen Rios. “This is definitely for the people who want to live life luxuriously.”
Although Casel is certainly pleasing to the eye both inside and out, one of the most unique elements about the development is the mixed-use component, located on the first and second floor.
The main floor boasts approximately 9,000 square-feet of retail space, while the second is designated for office space.

Future residents of Casel can enjoy some essential lifestyle services at their doorstep. Need a cup of coffee, or perhaps a bottle of wine to retreat back to your gorgeous suite with and relax on the balcony? Or how about a quick bite to eat at a charming café? Such services could soon be occupying the main floor space, if they aren’t already.

To top it all off, Casel is only minutes to downtown and has all of life’s little necessities and luxuries, be it a shopping mall, city transit, recreation centre or the Bow River, all just a stone’s throw away.
Casel truly caters to those who want to live close to downtown to take advantage of inner-city amenities, but also be far enough away without the hustle and bustle on their doorstep.

“It’s like a community in itself. You don’t need to go anywhere. We want you to be able to walk to everything you need,” says Rios. “It’s definitely one of a kind and for somebody who has taste and wants a little bit of the finer side of Calgary.”

Niklas Group has a number of other projects in the inner city currently on the go, including Viridian West 35th an eight-unit townhouse development with only two units left; and Cerulean, a 16-plex townhouse development that is more than 60 per cent sold. Many others that are also true to the Niklas Group’s identity are just on the horizon.
