What better way to wake up in the morning than with a steaming cup of chai in hand and a stunning vista of the Rocky Mountains in all of their splendour, both to your south and west.

The condominium apartments and villas at the Landing at Rocky Ridge in North West Calgary offer future tenants just that, and with an affordable price tag.

"Once you have seen the high quality of the finishings, both inside the walls and out...plus being on a very quiet, secure cul-de-sac only two blocks from the new, upcoming LRT, well, call me home!" says Brian Cassidy, marketing and sales manager for the Landing & Villas at Rocky Ridge project.

Industry veterans The Swan Group Inc., a multi-family company that has been building properties in the Calgary and Canmore area for 25 years, have announced that the second and final phase of this 124-unit project has been completed.

"And done so in dramatic and deluxe style, ready for quick possessions," says Cassidy.

Features include granite countertops in the kitchens and bathrooms; silent, self-closing doors; stainless steel appliances including a microwave and hood fan package with smooth top range, a stacked washer/dryer combo, and a fridge fitted with an icemaker.

All suite entrances and interior doors include extensive crown mouldings; cabinets offer under-lighting; and two-inch Venetian blinds compliment all windows throughout. Hot water in-floor heating means that, while the views are frosty, the living space will remain toasty warm.

Unique to the development, units are equipped with an outdoor fresh air intake system that is heated in winter, and individual condos have been roughed in for a central vacuum system.

"Possessions can be in as little as two week – the units are all finished," Cassidy says. "And we pay the purchaser’s legal fees. Their purchase price is it."

The Landing offers one bedroom plus den units totaling 735 square feet, and starting at $223,500. The larger two-bedroom suites range from 945 to 963 square feet and start at $281,500.

Owners may choose from two floor plans: side by side bedrooms or a ‘California-style’ plan in which bedrooms are separated by the living and dining areas and a pocket door between the second bedroom and main bath "creates a virtual second ensuite bath: privacy for roommates or guests," Cassidy says.

Prospective buyers will need to act fast as the majority of available units are already spoken for. Proximity to the future Rocky Ridge/Tuscany LRT station – slated to open in 2014 – has acted as a major allure, along with property amenities such as a well equipped fitness centre, an owners’ lounge and activity room, as well as an on-site theatre featuring a large 64-inch flat screen TV with built-in surround sound and upholstered reclining seats.

"We have a terrific community of all ages – from young, professional first-time buyers who work at the U of C, Foothills Hospital, or downtown, to middle-age never-married or newly-singled, to folks nearing retirement and wanting more free time (no more shoveling snow, no more cutting grass), through to snowbirds who have down-sized," Cassidy says of the 102 owners who had already purchased at The Landing. "All ages!"
