Logel Homes has officially opened the doors to its first four show suites at Altitude at Three Sisters Mountain Village, a new condo development in Canmore, during a recent grand opening event. The project, located at the southeast end of the mountain town, comprises 239 condos and townhomes spread across seven buildings, featuring 14 distinct floor plans. Among the units, 10 are designated as non-market affordable housing.
A Milestone for Logel Homes
Altitude represents the 25th multi-family development for the Logel family, encompassing homes built under the Logel Homes brand and the earlier Cardel Lifestyles banner. Calgary-based Logel Homes is led by Tim Logel as chairman and CEO, alongside his sons Brayden Logel as president and Kevin Logel as construction manager, and brother Brad Logel in sales. The project holds special significance for the family, as their entrepreneurial journey began in Canmore with a townhouse project in the Peaks of Grassi.
“My parents started our family business by taking a significant risk on their first development here in Canmore, a townhouse project in the Peaks of Grassi,” Brayden Logel recalled at the grand opening. “At the time, the market wasn’t strong, and there was no guarantee the project would work out. Our family often visited the site, and for my brother and I, walking through those townhomes as they were being framed and coming back to visit the show home inspired us to follow our dad in his footsteps to be home builders.”
Show Suite Details
Three of the show suites are located on the main level of the first building: the Soleil (1,312 square feet, two bedrooms and two bathrooms, starting at $929,900 plus GST), the Jackson (985 square feet, two bedrooms and two bathrooms, starting at $739,900 plus GST), and the Azure (1,392 square feet, two bedrooms and two bathrooms, starting at $944,900 plus GST for a similar floor plan). A fourth show suite, the Soleil 2, occupies the fourth floor and is a corner unit featuring two bedrooms, vaulted ceilings, a spacious great room ideal for entertaining, a linear fireplace, and stunning mountain views.
The decks are notably generous, partially inset to provide privacy and wind shelter, with ample space for lounge chairs, a table, and a barbecue. Outdoor living spaces have been a top priority for potential buyers, according to Tim Logel. “In the focus groups, they said, ‘We would like to have our barbecue, and we would like to have a small table and chairs, and two chairs to look at the mountains from with a glass of wine,’” he explained. “Another thing that has surprised us is that they’ll come up on the weekend, and we thought they’d be skiing, hiking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, but oftentimes they just want to relax.”
Thoughtful Design Features
Feedback from focus groups also influenced key design decisions. In-floor heating was installed to allow furniture to be placed easily without interference from wall registers. Quiet living was highly desired, so extra insulation was added between units, and triple-pane windows were used for superior sound attenuation and climate control. Flooring features engineered wood with a solid top layer, and design details include wooden beams for a rustic mountain aesthetic.
