Very unique character office condo with live/work opportunity. The condo has 6 private surface stalls. Exterior patio / deck on third floor. Lower level has windows, separate exterior entrance, ideal for residential or office. A prominent location on 2nd street influenced by Edwardian-era row housing and late Queen Anne revival style. 24 minutes 19.0 km to YYC International Airport, 4 minutes 1.5 km to Downtown Core. An easy walk to the new Scotiabank Arena, the Entertainment District, Tennis Courts, Central Park. Excellent long term investment as the 6 unit condo is located on a large piece of high density land. Offices, retail stores, personal service businesses and dwelling units may be allowed in buildings existing on the site on the date of approval of this by-law. When it was first built, the Alexandra Terrace marked the beginning of the first building boom and its earliest occupants were members of Calgary’s middle and upper-middle class. Past owners include Dr. James D Lafferty, a medical pioneer in Canada who helped found the Alberta Medical Association and the College of Physicians and Surgeons, and Eric Harvie, a prominent Calgary businessman and philanthropist who founded the Glenbow Museum. Subsequent owners include members of the Singer and Belzberg families who were prominent in Calgary’s society and Jewish communities. (id:65958)
10-item due-diligence checklist. We can pre-flight most of these for you on a CMA call.
Comparable sales
Ask for 3–5 recent solds within ~1 km and the same beds/baths so the list price has context.
Property condition
Roof age, furnace age, hot-water tank age, electrical panel size, windows. Cosmetic vs structural.
Zoning
Confirm zoning matches your intent (single-family vs duplex vs secondary suite vs commercial).
Suite legality / potential
If suited or being marketed as suited: confirm permits, separate entrance, ceiling height, egress windows.
Monthly carrying cost
Mortgage + property tax + insurance + condo fee (if any) + utilities. Compare to your max budget.
Property taxes
Confirm the annual tax amount on the current assessment — and whether a reassessment is pending.
Insurance estimate
Get a same-day quote. Older homes, knob-and-tube wiring, polybutylene plumbing, flood plains all change the number.
Commute
Drive it (or transit it) at the actual time of day you'd commute. Map ETA lies during peak hours.
Deposit and financing conditions
Deposit size, financing condition window, condition removal date, possession date — all negotiable.
Inspection considerations
Budget for a home inspector ($500–700) and any specialty inspections (sewer scope, mould, asbestos for pre-1990 builds).
Pick a down payment and tap any underlined number to edit. Total updates live. Confirm with a mortgage broker before writing an offer.
Monthly carrying costs (shared)
Approximation only. CMHC default insurance is included when down payment is under 20%. Property tax and condo fees come from MLS when listed and may not reflect the current billing year. Accelerated bi-weekly frequency reduces total interest paid vs. monthly — confirm with a broker. Suite rental income depends on permits, market rent, and vacancy. Always validate with a mortgage broker before writing an offer.
