Empty nesters seeking a high-end downtown Edmonton perch could fork out almost $3.7 million for the most expensive condo listed in the city.

The 3,326-square-foot, two-storey sky palace on the 34th and 35th floors of The Pearl, the capital’s tallest residential tower, is a sign of central Edmonton’s growing popularity, real estate agent Jakie Ng said Wednesday.

“There’s a lot of people who have money in the city … They really like the way our downtown is going,” said Ng, who’s handling the listing at 11969 Jasper Ave.

“The push more and more, instead of being in the outskirts, it’s on livability, entertainment, the lifestyle … This is a market that will continue to thrive.”

The new two-bedroom, three-bathroom condo — to be precise, the asking price is $3.675 million — features a panoramic view over the river valley, walnut flooring, a six-metre-high living room ceiling, motorized kitchen cupboards, high-end Gaggenau appliances and a steam shower.

The Alberta company that installed the granite countertops is the same firm outfitting the Oilers’ new dressing room and team owner Daryl Katz’s home in Palm Springs, Calif., Ng said.

“You’re not going to find anything like this anywhere. It’s truly an investment of a lifetime.”
