Condo Directory Beltline Victoria Crossing Mackenzie

114 on 15th Avenue SW

Large floor plans were the order of the day in 2000 when this building was concrete-poured into place by P.R. Developments Ltd., which also condo converted Sunward Estates in Lower Mount Royal and Mayland Terrace in the North East's Mayland Heights neighbourhood. The Mackenzie has six rock-solid floors housing 56 suites atop a basement parkade holding 52 titled indoor parking stalls, with another nine surface parking stalls at the west end of the building. With 61 parking spots in total, five suites get two each. There are basement storage lockers but no on-site amenities; 'who wants to pay for those anyway?

This building was a luxurious standard for Victoria Park when it was built, long before towers such as Sasso, Vetro, Arriva, Chocolate and Union Square were on the drawing boards. The building has central air conditioning and in-suite full-sized laundry/storage rooms. Balconies all have natural-gas outlets for barbecues and some suites have natural-gas fireplaces. Suites offer not less than 945 sq. ft., while most exceed 1,000 sq. ft. and they top out at 1,296, which is vast by inner-city standards today. Ten of the 11 floor plans are two-bedroom homes. Exterior cladding is Tyndal stone and stucco, the roof mostly tar-gravel with clay-tile sloping perimeters, and windows are Geinow-brand quality items. Those windows and exterior patio doors are common property for maintenance and eventual replacement.

I keep on file all original sales literature, floor plans and the Condo Plan.
