Common FAQs
If you are in need of an Calgary Realtor right now, you can call us here.
Are short-term rentals (like Airbnb) allowed at Colours?
Yes, Colours is well-known as one of the few high-rise buildings in the Beltline that is short-term rental friendly. However, owners must still comply with City of Calgary bylaws, which include obtaining a valid business license and ensuring their unit meets all fire safety requirements.
Is Colours a pet-friendly building?
Yes, Colours is a pet-friendly building. While generally welcoming of cats and dogs, all pets must be registered and approved by the Condo Board. There are typically no strict size restrictions, though “nuisance” behavior or safety concerns are managed by the board to ensure a peaceful environment for all residents.
What makes the “loft-style” units at Colours unique?
Unlike traditional condos, Colours features an industrial-chic aesthetic with polished concrete floors and 9.5-foot ceilings. A standout feature in many floor plans is the movable translucent glass wall system, which allows residents to open up the bedroom to the living area or close it off for privacy, offering much more flexibility than a standard drywall layout.

What are condo fees and what do they typically cover?
Condo fees (or maintenance fees) are monthly contributions from each owner that go towards the building’s shared expenses. In Edmonton, these typically cover professional management, reserve fund contributions, landscaping, snow removal, common area maintenance (like hallways and lobbies), and building insurance. In many buildings, they also include utilities like heat and water.
What is a reserve fund and why is it important?
A reserve fund is a mandatory savings account maintained by the condo corporation to pay for major repairs and replacements of the building’s common elements over time (e.g., roof replacement, window upgrades, boiler replacement). A healthy reserve fund is crucial because it helps prevent large, unexpected special assessments (a lump-sum bill for each owner) when major work is needed.
Is buying a condo in Edmonton a good investment?
Condos can be an excellent investment in Edmonton, offering a more affordable entry point into the real estate market and a low-maintenance lifestyle. They are particularly popular in desirable areas like Downtown, Oliver, and near the University. Like any property, its value depends on location, the quality of the building’s management, and overall market trends.
What should I look for in the condo documents?
When you make an offer on a condo, it’s critical to review the condo documents. The key items to examine are the Reserve Fund Study (to ensure it’s well-funded), the annual budget, the board meeting minutes (to check for upcoming issues), and the bylaws (to understand rules regarding pets, renovations, etc.). We help all our clients navigate these documents to ensure they’re making a sound purchase.
What are the main benefits of condo living?
The primary benefits of condo living are a low-maintenance lifestyle (no shoveling snow or cutting grass), access to shared amenities (like fitness centres, pools, or social rooms), enhanced security, and often a lower purchase price compared to a single-family home in the same neighbourhood. It’s an ideal choice for first-time buyers, downsizers, and busy professionals.
