Dozens of new single family, townhouse and condo/strata style developments continue to forge ahead throughout the Canadian Rockies offering exciting new ownership opportunities for 2nd home owners and retirees. Canmore, Golden, Fernie, Kimberley and the Columbia Valley are at the heart of many of these new developments due to their desirable locations outside of the protected National Parks.

Silver Creek Lodge (Canmore, Alberta). The Silver Creek Lodge project, which commenced sales in May 2005, was designed to project the rocky mountain aesthetic; to tie it intimately with its location in the Canadian Rockies while also embodying the clean lines of Japanese craftsmanship. The project is approached off of Mountain Avenue. A smaller human scale slate and wood clad porte-cochere defines the entrance to the building and is flanked on either side by elegant landscaping features. Upon arrival the visitor will see and hear the intimate waterfalls on either side of the entrance that pours from the face of the building into a beautiful reflective pool. The dramatic entrance foyer is generous in size and has an impressive ceiling height. Beyond the lobby a large double sided fireplace welcomes you further into the building and encourages you to experience the Asian fusion lounge on the other side. On the lower level there are fitness, massage and sauna spaces that open out into a sheltered lush Zen garden. Within the garden there are a series of three elegant and distinctively designed hot pools of varying temperatures. Silver Creek Lodge features studio, 1BR and 2BR condo suites with a Mountain Zen concept that is truly unique to the area. Details...
