Whether you’re an empty-nester looking to downsize, a first-time homebuyer ready to stake your claim in real estate or an investor looking for a new property, Calgary’s condo and townhome market delivers. Singles, couples and families are all discovering how condos and townhomes can meet all of their needs in several different communities, in and around the city. Read on to see how one of these homes could be your next one.
Elevated Townhome Living
With private elevators and rooftop patios, GUILD Townhomes offer luxury and comfort in the heart of University District.
Built where quiet luxury and convenience meet, GUILD townhomes by Crystal Creek Homes is one of the latest additions to the unique and burgeoning community of University District. Featuring 40 units spread across six buildings, the GUILD development includes two- and three-bedroom townhomes that place a concerted emphasis on elegance and comfort.
Convenience and privacy
The build-up-not-out nature of traditional townhomes often means lots of stairs, which aren’t always convenient or practical for empty nesters or retirees looking to downsize as they approach their golden years. GUILD addresses this dilemma head on, with a simple solution providing truly elevated townhome living. A private elevator in each and every unit makes the entire home easily accessible at the push of a button.
“With the private garage leading you to your private elevator, you have immediate access to your home. No need to shuffle through large communal areas such as big parkades, lobbies and long hallways,” says Crystal Creek area sales manager Andrea Irwin.
Part of a vibrant community
Set in the bustling and ultra-walkable University District, GUILD Townhomes are located just steps from a grocery store, several restaurants, a bakery, wine boutique, coffee shop, multiple exercise studios and even a movie theatre. Upon completion, the easily accessible University District will feature approximately 7,100 residential units, 15,000 residents and 300,000 sq. ft. of retail along its main street.
All of the GUILD two- and three-bedroom floorplans come in at a minimum of 2,000 square feet and feature meticulously designed interiors that prioritize spacious layouts and high-end finishes, all combining to provide an indelible sense of home. These townhomes feel roomy and complete, making the downsizing transition seamless. Each unit boasts extended outdoor living spaces with main-floor balconies and rooftop patios, the perfect places to unwind while overlooking the vibrant and growing community.
“GUILD provides the perfect balance of lifestyle needs for our homebuyers,” says Irwin. “The majority of them are downsizers and empty nesters who are looking for the convenience of the lock-and-leave lifestyle offered by condo living but still want the space, security and the feeling of a single-family home.”
Sustainably built by a trusted builder
The development is also expected to achieve BUILT GREEN Gold certification, an acknowledgment of GUILD’s use of sustainable building practices and emphasis on energy efficiency. Combined with the vast number of modern amenities and necessities located right in the community, GUILD offers impressive access to environmentally conscious living.
With more than 20 years of experience building homes across Calgary, Crystal Creek prides itself on well-built homes that combine beauty and comfort to provide an elegant and seamless living experience. GUILD at University District offers a unique opportunity to experience elevated townhome living in one of Calgary’s most complete and exciting new communities.

Spacious Townhome Living Comes to Airdrie
The Towns by Shane Multi-Family prioritize comfort and convenience in a family-friendly community.
Shane Multi-Family brings spacious townhome living to Airdrie with The Towns. Located in Airdrie’s Midtown area, these townhomes offer three- and four-bedroom floor plans across 1645 square feet of condo-convenient living. Featuring open-concept layouts that make these townhomes feel bigger than typical multifamily homes, the units combine modern designs and quality interior finishes, the perfect marriage of style and function.
Low-maintenance living
“One of the biggest advantages is low-maintenance living — our condo fees cover exterior maintenance, landscaping and snow removal, meaning homeowners can leave their space without worrying about upkeep,” says area manager Veliny Vaz. “It’s perfect for busy professionals and growing families who want a larger home that fits their lifestyle without added hassles.”
Each unit features a private recessed balcony allowing you to enjoy the fresh air or barbeque a burger on a warm summer day. An attached double garage also provides secure parking (for even a full-sized truck!) and extra storage.
Passing the yell test
A cost-effective entry into homeownership, the Midtown community is centrally located in Airdrie, providing easy access to parks, shopping and dining, all within minutes of your doorstep. And, every The Towns home is “yell test” approved, meaning extra care has been taken to help ensure privacy and peace among neighbours.
“The Shane Multi-Family’s shared-wall system minimizes noise and keeps your neighbours happy,” affirms Vaz. “The Towns offer a great way to own a home while enjoying the perks of a thriving, well-connected community.”
