The luxury of Capella is all in the details. The building’s exterior makes use of natural and soft elements mixed with bold materials for a contemporary feel. Parking is not only secure and underground, but heated as well – perfect for those Calgary winters. The lifestyle of residents has been thoughtfully considered and elevated with conveniences including:

Central Courtyard – With a desire to create a vibrant and inviting scene, the courtyard is accessible to the entire community, offering active and passive spaces to socialize in or find a quiet oasis in solitude. Oversized patios are nestled in-between the gardens and face out onto the street to engage pedestrians. A variety of plants with different blooming times will create an exciting garden for the community to view and socialize within.

Two-Storey Lobby – The Capella Condos’ showstopping, soaring glass lobby is reminiscent of a classic European library, where traditional ideas meet new sophistication. This space was intended to be a library-style gathering space encouraging residents to work and socialize.

Fitness Studio – The inspiration for Capella’s fitness studio was drawn from a leather boxing bag and gloves, pulling in cognac leather accents and a refreshing palette with canvas and saddle colours. Available to residents 24-hours a day, this space is bright, airy, and clean with a seamless connection to the outdoors through the balcony and park views.

Open Spaces & Parks – Explore life at a gentler pace. University District will have limitless ways to get connected to nature with ponds, dog parks, pathways, look out parks, and the green spine – a naturalized landmark that links residents to main street and common parks.

A true community, in a community

This well-planned, refined collection of condos not only connects residents with convenient amenities within the community, but puts you steps away from Main Street’s retail district.  What’s better than moving into a community committed to placing easy access to your lifestyle amenities and so much more? With everything from a grocery store to a pharmacy, coffee shop to wine merchant, and a variety of other services planned, living in University District gives a whole new meaning to “shopping local.” Best of all, you get back the world’s most important resource – time.
