The Henry will redefine Parkdale Blvd in Calgary's North West

Posted by on Wednesday, July 13th, 2016 at 1:45pm.

A very cool luxury town home development is going in at the corner of Parkdale Boulevard and 29 Street NW.   It’s a high-profile location and is attracting a lot of attention. Constructed by Brookfield Residential, the 24-home project at this prime inner-city location will offer townhomes in the low $600,000s and up.

Excellent Location

Parkdale is a beautiful community with old elm trees and Manitoba Maples with a variety of luxury infill homes located throughout the neighbourhood.  A townhome in The Henry is an excellent opportunity to enjoy a maintenance-free lifestyle and to get into this neighbourhood for under $1 million.

The location is second to none.  It’s right across the street from the pathway on the north side of the Bow River.  Run or bike east and you’re half an hour from downtown.  Run or bike west and you’re minutes from the pedestrian bridge over the Bow River to Edworthy Park.  Up 29 St SW is the Foothills Medical Centre and a bit further, the University of Calgary.

The Townhomes

There are four buildings in the complex with just six homes in each building. There are five different floor plans offered at The Henry, with 1,605 square feet to 1,868 square feet over two storeys.  Buyers have a choice of two or three-bedroom models, each offering 2.5 bathrooms.  Each home has a double attached garage, outdoor living space on a terrace on the roof.  From the patio, owners will be afforded southern views of the river or the city skyline to the east.  The homes are clad in brick that provides distinctive old-world charm with a modern, urban design.  A modern classic, if you will.

The builders have provided buyers with a choice of three interior colour schemes in tones of grey or espresso themes with hardwood throughout and tile in the bathrooms and foyer.  Each roomy kitchen features an open plan an eating bar with seating for as many as six people and a surprising amount of storage.  Of course, as a luxury product The Henry promises stainless steel appliances including a gas stove with an elegant chimney-style hood fan, quartz countertops and the backsplash is full height from the countertops to the bottom of the cabinetry.

Getting Around

From this great location, downtown is less than 10 minutes away from car, 20 minutes away by a direct bus route or half an hour by bike via the Bow River Pathway.  Unlike many other inner-city locations, driving to get to a major freeway is very simple with Crowchild Trail access just down the street or the Trans-Canada Highway (16 Ave NW) just up 29 St NW. 

Shopping

A few blocks east of The Henry is a small plaza with boutique-style shops, a café and famous Levitt’s Ice Cream. There are also major shopping malls close to The Henry such as Market Mall on Shaganappi Trail NW or The Core downtown.  The Kensington District is located to the east of the Parkdale neighbourhood and is a village-shopping experience with a lively streetscape and great restaurants.
