Conditionally Sold in Springbank Hill

This well-designed 1 bedroom condo in Springbank Hill is now officially conditionally sold.

After recently being repositioned at $229,900, the property quickly gained attention from buyers looking for affordability without sacrificing location. Opportunities to purchase on Calgary’s west side at this price point are becoming increasingly limited, and this home offered a compelling combination of value, functionality, and lifestyle.

The condo featured a smart layout with 9’ ceilings, a spacious kitchen, a built-in office nook, walkthrough closets into a cheater ensuite, and a private patio with a BBQ gas line. Buyers also appreciated the added benefits of titled underground parking, a storage locker, fitness centre access, and a pet-friendly building.

Location also played a major role in the strong interest this property received. Situated in Springbank Hill, the home offered walkable access to Aspen Landing and the Shops of Montreux, along with quick connections to transit, Stoney Trail, and the mountains.

While the sale is not yet firm, this conditional sale is another strong reminder that well-priced properties in desirable west side communities continue to attract attention in today’s market.

If you’ve been considering buying or selling in Springbank Hill or surrounding west Calgary communities, now is a great time to explore your options.

A Loft That Actually Feels Like a Loft

Some condos try to create an “industrial” feel.
This one is the real thing.

Welcome to Orange Lofts by Battistella — one of Calgary’s most recognizable loft buildings and a rare opportunity to own an authentic urban loft in the heart of downtown.

Located at 216-535 8 Avenue SW, this 2-storey unit offers 786 square feet of stylish open living space with all the character loft buyers are searching for: polished concrete floors, exposed ductwork, soaring ceilings, and dramatic full-height windows that flood the home with natural light.

The updated kitchen perfectly balances style and functionality with flat-panel cabinetry, quartz countertops, black hardware, open shelving, and a large island finished with a solid wood countertop. Whether you love to cook, entertain, or simply enjoy a space with personality, this kitchen delivers.

One of the smartest features in the home is the custom under-stair storage system, creating a walk-in pantry, coat closet, and additional storage space rarely found in loft living.

The spacious living area opens onto a south-facing balcony with views toward the Stampede Grounds and Calgary’s evolving entertainment district, while the upper loft bedroom enjoys the same incredible natural light and open feel through oversized windows.

Additional features include:
• Wall-mounted air conditioning
• Titled underground parking
• Separate storage locker
• Condo fees that include ALL utilities, including electricity

Orange Lofts is also known for its lifestyle-focused amenities including a rooftop patio with BBQs and skyline views, recreation space, and a pet-friendly atmosphere.

Located steps from the Bow River pathways, restaurants, cafés, shopping, and downtown offices, this property offers an unbeatable combination of style, convenience, and urban energy.

For buyers looking for something different from the typical downtown condo, this loft stands out in all the right ways.

Multiple Buyer Wins: Strategy in Action Across Calgary

It’s been a strong stretch for my buyers, with two conditional offers successfully secured in very different parts of the city — Rundle NE and Arbour Lake NW.

While these properties differ in price point, location, and buyer goals, the outcome was the same:
✅ Accepted offers in a competitive market

Two Locations, Two Strategies

Both Rundle and Arbour Lake offer unique advantages to buyers:

• Rundle (NE Calgary): An established community known for accessibility, transit options, and strong value potential
• Arbour Lake (NW Calgary): One of Calgary’s most desirable lake communities, offering lifestyle appeal, amenities, and long-term demand

Different markets within the same city — and each requires a tailored approach.

The Common Factor: Execution

In today’s market, success doesn’t come from simply finding the right property.

These two deals came together because of:

• Quick decision-making when opportunities appeared
• Strategic offer structuring based on each situation
• Positioning my buyers to compete effectively without overpaying

That combination is what turns interest into accepted offers.

What This Means for Buyers

Whether you're buying in an entry-level price point or targeting a higher-demand community, the reality is the same:

Good properties move quickly
Competition is still active
Strategy matters more than ever

Buyers who succeed are the ones who are prepared, informed, and ready to act.

✅ What’s Next

Both of these transactions are now moving through conditions and progressing toward firm sales.

Stay tuned for the SOLD updates!
