A new condominium project loaded with urban appeal has launch in the new-urbanist-style enclave of Sage Hill Quarter in the heart of Calgary's new northwest. The project, which is called Q Condos, is the latest offering from Morrison Homes Multi-Family.

"There is really nothing like this in the northwest," said Robert Toth, marketing lead for Morrison Homes Multi-Family. "It is very unique."

Q Condominiums, a groundbreaking new northwest project from Morrison Homes (Calgary Multi) Ltd., officially broke ground on Tuesday, June 18^th. Q Condos is located in the retail development of Sage Hill Quarter and brings a vibrant condo concept - never before seen in the city's northwest - to the heart of Symons Valley. Focused on encircling the residences amongst a unique selection of businesses, Q Condos will place homeowners next door to trendy coffee shops, banks, health facilities, a Shoppers Drug Mart, and a state-of-the-art Co-op grocery store.

Creating a strong and connected sense of community with a village vibe was the overarching goal behind Q Condos, a new housing development in Calgary's northwest community of Sage Hill Quarter.

Builders and the City work together to rein in urban sprawl

It used to be that mentioning the word "density" would get some Calgarians riled up over plans for a new community they felt had too many homes per hectare, or a condominium project with too many units.
But faced with the alternative of urban sprawl, increasing density is now an established policy for residential development.

In 2009, city council approved a new Municipal Development Plan (MDP) and Calgary Transportation Plan (CTP) that address density in both new communities and established areas.
