For those of you who are still having trouble taking your eyes off the stock ticker, Garry Grein shares some
interesting insight.
“With the way the markets have been over the last two years, one of your tickers has got to go,” Grein, director of sales for Canmore’s Windtower Mountain Lodge, says with a smile.
“So why not take a break from the roller-coaster, give your heart a rest and invest in something that’s every bit as good for your lifestyle as it is your portfolio.”

As Grein puts it, Windtower Mountain Lodge, a new 121-unit hotel/condo development, “gives you get the best of all worlds.”
The Canmore real estate market is certainly outperforming the stock market indices, but another tangible benefit shouldn’t be overlooked.
“I don’t know about you, but not one of the public companies in which I’ve bought shares has given me unlimited luxury accommodation in the Rockies as a perk,” explains Grein.
“You can buy a Windtower investment suite, rent it out 95 per cent of the time at a great rate, and still have three weeks of vacation time for you and your family.
“Now that’s an investment!”
As ongoing reports of corporate scandals continue to suck
confidence from beleaguered investors, real estate investments – particularly recreational properties – have become a hot commodity.
And Windtower is perfectly suited for the discerning investor.
Grein, a real estate marketing guru (Note: we call him a guru because he has been around FOREVER and knows the condo industry inside-out) who has helped complete dozens of high-calibre developments in Alberta, says he’s never been involved in a more exciting project.
“I’ve been doing this since the ’70s, and this is truly the best real estate value I’ve seen,” he says. “The location on the sunny side of the valley is perfect, the
construction is absolutely the best, and we’re giving you a chance to buy a piece of the Rockies.”
Peter McQuillen, a colleague of Grein’s, is also having a blast selling Windtower.
“We really are helping people achieve their dreams. To put it in perspective, I’m the sales guy, but I get gifts and thank-you cards from the buyers. They really appreciate the idea that we’re helping them do what they’ve always wanted to do – own a great property in the most beautiful town in the world.
Windtower, situated just off the highway on the way into Canmore, offers a wide selection of fully furnished one- and two-bedroom condominiums ranging from $169,900 to $229,900.
Most units include revenue-generating lock-off hotel suites. There are six different layouts – all with spectacular views – and standard features include a full complement of high-quality appliances (fridge, stove, microwave, dishwasher, stacking washer/dryer), maple cabinets, fireplace and all the right trimmings.
Other amenities include heated underground parking, secure card access, mountain spas, a barbecue area and a fitness room. Twenty-four-hour security from the lobby gives all tenants peace of mind.
The Windtower Cafe is already open, as is the conference centre. Both seat 60 comfortably.
Beautiful landscape work, meanwhile, is just wrapping up on the final building.
“When you look at all the
factors, including the low interest rates, it’s the right time to buy – and Windtower is the right place,” says Grein. “We didn’t cut any corners on this project, so Windtower really stands out in this market. If you take your time and do your due diligence, we’re going to do
business because Windtower really shines above the rest.
“Come on out and do a walk-through. Kick the tires, check out the hot tub and imagine how good it’ll feel after a day on the slopes.
“And remember, the best selections go first.”
Windtower investment suites offer the perfect opportunity to own a mountain condo while generating revenue to cover the costs.
“Why keep your money in mutual funds when you can own
a piece of the Rockies and actually be putting some cash in your jeans at the same time?” says Grein. “It starts paying off immediately, and we’ve got a management company to look after all the bookings and maintenance.”
Property values have steadily appreciated in recent years, but Canmore still offers one of the most sought-after lifestyles on the planet, and the housing market shows no signs of losing its sizzle. One of the factors that makes Canmore real estate such an attractive investment is the constraints on future development.
“All you have to do is look at a map to see why your property value is rock-solid. We’re
surrounded by protected national and provincial parks, so there’s not a lot of acres left to develop,” says McQuillen.
“And you can’t underestimate the value of the Canmore
lifestyle. Whether you’re skiing, snowboarding, golfing at any of several championship courses in the area, cycling or hiking, there isn’t a better place to do it.”
Adds Grein: “A traffic jam for
a Canmore resident is three cars at one of the four lights, and I like going to get groceries or a video and not wait in line. It’s the lifestyle everyone wants, and we’re happy to help make it a reality for you.”
Whether your average stay is going to be six days, six months or six years, Windtower Mountain Lodge offers hassle-free condo living to suit your (soon-to-be-improved) lifestyle.
