Encore Tower is a hit!

It seems even the highest expectations have been met in Edmonton’s latest residential high rise, as ENCORE Tower enjoyed a surge in sales over the last few months that has seen nearly 90 per cent of suites in this gleaming, 45-floor downtown spire snapped up.


The unveiling of its three latest show suites on October 24 just highlighted what its developers, Westrich Pacific Corp., knew all along – ENCORE Tower is the best place to live downtown.


“We had over 70 people booked for the show home grand opening, it was an appointment-only affair that observed all health precautions, so we were very encouraged by the turnout,” says Kennedy Minogue, sales lead at ENCORE Tower. She adds that they still have a select choice of suites available but with the way things are going, those may not last long either.


Yet, no matter where those remaining suites are, homebuyers are still guaranteed to get awe-inspiring views. ENCORE Tower was designed with a unique floorplate – a cross-plate like a plus-sign – that allows each suite to have views in two or even three directions.


Residents have already started moving in and they are very much impressed with the sophisticated urban lifestyle that ENCORE Tower represents. “Many are impressed by the grand three-storey lobby with custom-made chandeliers and light features that is worthy of a first-class hotel lobby,” Minogue says. “People also really love the concierge service that completes this feeling of luxury.”


ENCORE Tower is the newest luxury residential building in the city, and the graceful glass and steel spire makes a bold statement in Edmonton’s ever-evolving skyline even as it offers a downtown lifestyle worthy of a world-class urban centre.


It has attracted a wide range of buyers – from professional couples working in Edmonton’s downtown, to downsizers eager to experience the urban lifestyle, and even a couple of snowbirds looking to retain a home in Edmonton while enjoying warmer weather elsewhere.


Sitting along the vital intersection of 103rd Street and 102nd Avenue, ENCORE Tower is touted to be the last premier spot in downtown Edmonton. It gives residents access to over a million square-feet of retail right at the doorstep, with entertainment, shopping, restaurants and fitness facilities – you name it – all within easy walking distance.
Its 179 ultra luxurious condo units bring a welcome, lavish residential lifestyle in an area that is already enjoying the energy brought about by the $2.5 billion ICE District mixed-use sports and entertainment development.


Thoughtfully designed two-bedroom suites that maximize usable space, finished with high quality materials, ENCORE Tower is every bit as breath-taking as the panoramic city and river valley views it offers.


“The value that is offered is incomparable,” says Minogue. “The location combined with well thought out floor plans and luxury finishes at the price point we offer is not seen anywhere else downtown.”


Surrounded on all four sides by historical, low-rise buildings, ENCORE offers unobstructed views for the decades to come. This spectacular tower is situated in the most valuable neighborhood adjacent to pedway with access to every convenience and amenity: Financial Core, ICE District, City Centre Mall, YMCA, Royal Alberta Museum, Art Gallery, River Valley, and LRT.


The suites themselves offer a sophisticated design, energy efficient features backed by the latest in home technology, with brilliant interior finishing. The entire building has floor to ceiling glazing as it presents a new standard in urban living.


“Our starting price is $389,000 + GST, and that includes one underground parking stall, blinds for the floor to ceiling windows, nine-foot ceilings, forced air heating and cooling, quartz countertops, under cabinet lighting, fully tiled glass showers, Kohler plumbing fixtures, and two to three directional views,” Minogue says.


Purchasers also get to enjoy concierge service, and an in-house fitness centre. “On the fourth floor we have an indoor and outdoor entertainment space/sun lounge with hot tub and cabanas,” Minogue says. It’s a great spot to meet neighbours and socialize without having to leave the home.


From the fifth to 37th floors stylish two-bedroom, two-bathroom suites are offered ranging in size from 812 to 1,501 square-feet. Meanwhile, premium penthouse suites are from the 38th to 43rd floors. Those range from 1,675 to 2,340 square-feet and personify luxury living at its finest with extravagant outdoor terraces. Penthouses start from $999,000 + GST. Only three of the nine penthouses are left.


Viewings are by appointment only. Please contact 780.803.8777 or go to encoretower.com for more information.
