On a recent weekend, downtown Edmonton’s Heritage District was hit by the 21st-Century equivalent of an old-fashioned, no-holds-barred land rush.

Early on the Saturday morning, True North Properties opened the doors of its sales office at the corner of 104th Avenue and 105 Street. By Sunday afternoon, the
True North sales team had moved an astonishing 33 units within its newest condominium tower, known as Century II.

By Monday, real estate professionals across the city were buzzing about the high volume of sales the company was able to generate in a single weekend. But Travis Mynzak, vice-president of operations for True North Properties, wasn’t surprised.

After all, he’s quite familiar with that brand of uptempo sales action. He was quick to point out that each of 147 units in the company’s well-appointed Legacy Manor, just a short distance away from True North’s most recent project, were snapped up within a whirlwind three weeks.

  Homes in the Century II project from True North Properties are already selling well — 33 were sold the first weekend!

No mystery, shrugs Mynzak. Intelligent buyers know quality when they see it. And when they see it, they act quickly.

“At True North Properties, we’re very proud of all our condominium projects,” affirmed Mynzak. “We’ve made it a policy to offer outstanding quality construction, affordable prices and an irresistible downtown location. Our customers have found that to be an unbeatable combination.”

Unbeatable, yes. But here’s another attractive feature – the one-bedroom, one bedroom (with den) and two-bedroom suites of Century II have been placed well within the price range of most seniors, post-secondary students and rookie home buyers anxious to get into the market for the first time.

"We like to describe the 205 suites of Century II as ideal
entry-level to mid-level accommodation,” Mynzak explained.

Suites range in size from 635 to 850 square feet and Century II prices simply can’t be matched, at a range of $113,000 through $209,000.

“Yes, it’s a terrific way to get into the market,” continued Mynzak. “Many of our buyers are seniors who really have no interest in maintaining a larger suite. They enjoy the comfortable and cozy dimensions of our suites.”

And, as Mynzak correctly points out: “Why rent? You’re just throwing your money away.”

By purchasing a suite at Century II, however, you’re also making one of the soundest investment decisions of your life. Several suites sold by True North as recently as five years ago have already appreciated in value by more than 50 per cent. And value – with a capital ‘V’ – truly is the order of the day at Century II, a wonderful blend of old world charm and modern architectural design. With its large column windows, brick accenting and wrought iron railings, Century II brings a fresh new look to Edmonton’s revitalized core.

As you start your walk-through, you’ll be immediately impressed by the solidity and permanence of the all-concrete construction of Century II.

Why concrete?

Because concrete provides superior fire and noise-reduction qualities, making your new home a super-comfortable haven of absolute peace and quiet. Because concrete is strong, energy efficient and
environmentally sound.

Yes, concrete construction does cost a little more. But Mynzak confirms that the enthusiastic response from hundreds of satisfied buyers have convinced senior decision makers at True North Properties that the extra expenditure has been well worth it.

As for interior amenities, Century II steps straight to the head of the class. Hardwood floors and four stainless steel appliances (plus washer and dryer) are part of the standard purchase package. Meanwhile, air conditioning is also available as an upgrade.

There’s clearly not a better real estate deal to be made in the city. But affordability and unparalleled quality have long been the hallmarks of True North Properties, which has been creating quality dwellings for a quarter of a century.
