Lifestyle perks draw people to city's core
(continued from page 2...)
It is a common perception, but it seems to be changing.
"Although Calgary has sort of a stigma for being a sleepy town, especially on the weekdays in the inner city, I find quite the opposite," says Rowe, the young professional.
"I think there's a lot of activity, a lot of draw to the inner city. Of course with the (city's) new developments comes a whole bunch of new, primarily young people to the inner city. So you're going to see the expansion of services like restaurants, nightclubs and retail. It's really going to enliven Calgary's downtown core." Rowe and Clark agree that downtown's atmosphere will continue to improve as more people move into the area.
And as for the atmosphere in Rowe's own condo, he'll rely on arriVa's help in that department. He's looking forward to the building's wine boutique opening in the spring.
"I mean, imagine having bottle service to your condo. You call down and say 'I'm having fettucine alfredo. Would you mind bringing up a bottle for me that perfectly pairs with that?' And they'll do that," he says.
Living in one of the city's new condos, it seems, has its perks.
"As soon as I heard about that, it really got me excited," says Rowe. "It's the added touches."
