Read what people have to say about their experiences with Qualex Landmark:
I have been looking for a place to call home for over two years now and District Crossing had me sold in less than a week. What influenced me to buy at the District Crossing was the quality in the finishings, the convenient location on Marine Drive, the generous patios, and the competitive prices they offered.
Cheryl Orlovsky
Having grown up on the North Shore, I have enjoyed the proximity the location provides to both the outdoors and everyday conveniences. Once you've lived here it is very hard to leave. As I entered the housing market, I knew that finding a home that would meet both my expectations for quality and affordability was going to be a challenge. Having viewed many properties both new and previously owned, I was delighted to discover what I was looking for at District Crossing.
David Dickinson
My favorite things about District Crossing: the finishings are great, very clean lines and color schemes. I purchased a unit with a fantastic 400 sqft terrace which is a huge plus. I feel very comfortable with Qualex Landmark as I work as a Realtor and have sold and bought in their projects before and have always been impressed. Furthermore, I think that the location of DC is awesome, better the Lower Lonsdale, it's so close to the bridge and you can be downtown in minutes. The area is up and coming so I got a great price on the place which is fantastic!
The tipping point for me was the return on investment. I feel that in a few years, this Norgate location will be booming and I will have made a really good investment. Plus the deck is amazing, can't wait for BBQ in the summer!

We live nearby and love what the area has to offer; we can walk where ever we need to go. -bank, -groceries, -restaurants, -shopping. We also like the proximity to downtown Vancouver. We wanted to invest in a rental property and the price at District Crossing made more sense than buying used.

I had been in the market for a while, searching for something upscale, modern and stylish. I certainly wasn't ready to settle for something I didn't love. On one of our many "house shopping" appointments, my realtor took me to the LUNA showroom and I was instantly sold. The show suite was not only beautiful, but it was also functional. I immediately pictured myself purchasing such an aesthetically pleasing, contemporary and comfortable home. To top it off, the price is great, the location is fantastic and the friendly staff are there to help me every step of the way. This is definitely a great purchase and I'm excited for my possession date!
Chantelle, Communications Professional
I purchased in LUNA as I saw an opportunity to trade-up and upgrade from my current condo to a more modern, contemporary home without leaving the inner-city area of the Beltline. High quality finishing specification combined with attractive pricing; simply put, the numbers just made sense.

I've been looking at condos for about six months before I heard about Luna. Living in the suburbs for my entire life and the horrible commute to work in the winter enticed me to look downtown. With a budget of $300K, it was difficult to find a newer building downtown larger than 700sq ft. Luna not only fit my criteria but offered exceptional quality within my budget. I am willing to wait a few years until I move into my dream home.

...Sometimes in life ... your search finds you! And that's how I felt when I discovered to the Qualex-Landmark property, Nova Building at 1118 12th Ave. SW.
Not only did the building have all of the amenities that were important to our lifestyle, but the units were beautiful - hardwood floors throughout, brand new appliances and a design concept that was sleek and clean. The floor to ceiling windows - most importantly - show off what I would consider, one of the most spectacular views in the core. Time is precious and living less than ten minutes to work vs. the 1hr commutes of suburban living is appealing to us. In fact, we are even closer than we were in Toronto. And everything is so easy - we are within minutes to everything in the city we want - from the best restaurants, The Red Mile, Kensington, the Saddledome.
Most importantly - after just ten months, we finally feel like we are ... home!
Karen and Scott, Advertising Executives
I believe that purchasing a pre-sale condominium at LUNA was a great idea for my wife and I. We paid a small deposit upfront and were able to keep our flexibility to both manage and create new investments while preparing for our future possession date. With our new home at LUNA, we feel that we have time to plan and prepare for our expected move-in but also recognize that at time of delivery we have the ability to rent the suite for additional income, or sell the home if our life plans change and the market allows us to do so.
My wife and I purchased a home at LUNA mid 2008 and despite Calgary's economic uncertainty we never felt any sense of poor judgment and with recent pricing revisions we feel even more positive about our ownership decision.
As a final word, I have nothing but praise for Luna's sales team whom explained the offerings so patiently, clearly and professionally. Indeed they added a layer of confidence in the deal I signed at LUNA.
Golam, Engineer
I was a first time home buyer in March 2001. My realtor spent a day showing me different condos in the Burnaby area and each one we entered she'd say, "Oh, you'll like this one but I know you'll buy the last one I show you." And she was right. *When I entered the apartment at 18 Trees I said, "I'm home."* The open living design concept, the vaulted ceiling, and the efficient use of space all worked together to provide a welcoming haven. I still own my condo at 18 Trees but am currently living in Calgary. I'm looking forward to purchasing another condo by Qualex as I know their product to be well thought out, well constructed, and well suited to my needs.
Sandra
My purchase with Qualex-Landmark was informative, educational, and most of all, enjoyable. *From start to finish all details, no matter the size, were handled with professionalism*, and the care and attention that has made Qualex-Landmark a leader in the industry, and my home builder of choice.
Nathan Zacharias, B.Comm, Realtor and Mortgage Professional
My experience with Stella has been a positive one from start to finish. The minute I walked through the door, I was treated with respect and felt like a valued customer-Sydney at the Stella Sales Center made me feel like I deserved to be there. The service was very professional and the Sales team was very knowledgeable about their product and were prompt in returning any phone calls or answering any of my questions. I had no problems with paper work, lawyers or payments. All I had to do was show up to select my colours and bring in a cheque and the rest was pretty much taken care of for me. I never felt nervous or lost in the process. *Everything was clearly explained at every stage of development.* I was kept up to date with letters and was even given pictures of the various stages the building was going through. It was a relatively stress free experience while doing business with Stella. I am in love with my apartment and I am at complete ease with how the process went and with my choice to do business with them.
Jordan Lefley
I'm quite pleased with my purchase at Stella. Qualex-Landmark had a good reputation from previous projects, and they did not disappoint with this project, either. *All of the staff were fantastic. Everyone was courteous, professional, knowledgeable, and always pleasant!* Sydney & Tim were not only attentive to my questions and concerns pre-purchase, but also checked in periodically post-purchase (during the building phase), which really made me feel appreciated as a home buyer. Janice was very helpful and patient with me during the finishings selection process, and Dana made sure everything went smoothly even though I was in a different city. Job well done!!
Dr. Uma Chandron
Sydney's extensive knowledge, experience and pleasant attitude made the purchase of Stella hassle free, which was most appreciated. We would not hesitate in recommending Sydney and her fellow staff members to anyone, as they were always very helpful and friendly.
*We are very impressed with the overall quality and attention to detail of our Stella condo.*
Lyn Murray
The people at Stella were courteous, professional, straight-forward and knowledgeable. *If the sales staff didn't know the answer to a question, they didn't fake it.* Instead they went and got the answer--and did so promptly.
Ed Nunes-Vaz
When my husband and I first walked in Stella it was the "wow" factor. It's like fancy hotel living. *Plus while all other condo projects were delayed by months, Stella was right on time.*
Thanks Qualex Landmark.
Glenda
The purchase process was very simple and sales staff extremely knowledgeable and helpful. It was easy to make the decision to purchase a unit in the Stella building. First, the unit layout is so compact and makes fabulous use of the relatively small space. *Second, the quality is far superior to anything else I looked at.* I am very pleased with my purchase.
Sue Simpson
This letter is written in support of the outstanding Qualex-Landmark team at Stella. *Our experience through each step of the buying process was effortless* and handled with a great deal of professionalism. Thanks to Sydney Forman for being our go-to contact through the purchase process and for agreeing to handle the transfer of possession on our behalf. And to Janice Richard, who ensured every finishing detail of our property was completed to our satisfaction. We believe the Stella property represents a significant quality achievement due in large part to people like Sydney and Janice.
Mark Lamb and Kathy Farbod
My family and I have lived in the City for the past 8 years and love everything about it; from the diverse scenery to the various lifestyle options the city has to offer. Looking for a home to live in was the hard part. Trying to find a quality home built by a developer that cares was a challenge, until we came across Domus, where we purchased the penthouse. *Qualex-Landmark built this project like they were building it for themselves to live in.* Their entire staff also treated us with a great deal of respect and always seemed to remember that we were the customer. My wife and I have always considered ourselves to have extremely high expectations but Qualex-Landmark definitely met and exceeded these standards...
Charles Bilash
Luna is a high-quality development on the West side of the beltline which I have recently introduced to a number of my clients. With an impeccable show suite featuring top of line finishing's, inviting floor plans and at an affordable price, this is definitely a place that I would encourage realtors to take their clients.
Michele Gee, Century 21 Bravo Realty
I have worked with Qualex-Landmark for over 6 years, and not only have I sold many of their new homes, I have also purchased in the last three projects including LUNA. LUNA represents an extremely well finished and quality product at an unbelievable price. They have a very strong and proven track record and I will definitely bring more of my clients into LUNA.
Marlene Swinton, Real Estate Professionals Inc.
Simon has worked for Real Estate marketing companies as well as Developers who specialize in multifamily developments. He has purchased numerous properties in the downtown core over the past 5 years and saw the opportunity with LUNA due to the great pricing, location and finishing specification level. Combining these great components with the fact that the condo supply in Calgary's downtown Beltline will be in decline over the next 3 years while LUNA is built, he feels there are some great attributes in the market for LUNA to be a great success.
Simon, Realtor
Hafeez is a loyal purchaser who has purchased on three different occasions with us in our Calgary project. He feels that the value proposition that Qualex-Landmark offers its purchasers allows investors the opportunity to do well. Factors that influence his decision to purchase with us is the Developer's reputation, pricing, location, finishing quality as well as the fact that pricing in Calgary overall as a market, compared to Vancouver, is very affordable.
Hafeez, Investor
After 6 years at the University of Calgary and 5 years working real estate - it was time to get a piece of my own. Not to mention, complete my progression out of the 'burbs and throw myself into the hubbub and bustle that is the heart of Calgary. So I took a peek at Luna. Smart looking building, built by a reputable developer, at a great price, in a great location - a few blocks south is vibrant 17th Ave. and in the other direction, downtown, the Bow River and the river pathway system. The constantly evolving nature of its position in the Beltline means the "street scene" is constantly changing and the view from my windows will always be a little bit different. I don't think I'll get bored anytime soon. Walking distance to great amenities and the Midtown Co-op just across the street means I can get out of my car and enjoy the benefits of a healthier, pedestrian friendly lifestyle. The well-equipped gym with 18ft ceilings was also a pretty nice perk. The suite itself has a great layout, stylish finishings and enough space to comfortably entertain some friends for dinner - afterwards we can go down to the lounge for a game of pool.
Rob, Licensed Assistant - Brian Mahoney & Associates - RE/MAX Realty
As a long standing Realtor in Calgary's inner city, I am very careful and particular on where and what I sell my clients. Qualex-Landmark and LUNA both meet my particular standards as they are a reputable and proven high rise developer with a great track record of performance. On top of this, LUNA provides a great finishing spec and well designed suites at a very attractive price, something that is very difficult to find in a downtown high-rise project. Not only have I sold my clients into LUNA, I have also purchased a suite for myself. I will definitely refer more of my clients to LUNA.

When Carmen and I sold our place in the burbs after the kids had moved out we were looking to get "back into town" and all that urban living had to offer; walk to work, Yaletown vibe, proximity to everything, etc.
We (Carmen mostly) had been investigating a number of buildings and the day after we sold we toured the Domus presentation centre. Layouts/materials in the show suites immediately caught our eye. No long narrow "tubes"; Domus wall system gave us the convertible expanded living space we were looking for without committing ourselves to a "dead zone" second bedroom. We bought within an hour of walking in the door...
Chris and Carmen Grant, owners
I am writing to thank you for your excellent after sales service. Four years after completion of your award-winning development here in Burnaby you have continued to return to provide service to my suite and the common areas of our building in a timely and professional manner.
Colin Briggs, Eighteen Trees owner
Dear Friends at Qualex,
We would like to express our satisfaction on the recent work done on our balcony surface to eliminate a substantial water pond around the drain, which would have become a water penetration issue. After building up the pond area with decking material, the whole balcony surface was recoated making it look like new to our entire satisfaction.
We appreciate your professional and timely attention to address this problem.
Guillermo & Claudia Schwarz, Eighteen Trees owners
A functional layout with attention to detail in a fantastic location. Everything was so perfect that after living in my loft for about 8 months, I decided to buy a second one.
Paul Eveleigh, The Crandall Building
I looked at nearly every new development to come onto the market over the preceeding year, from Kitsilano to downtown and Yaletnwn, and the North Shore as Well. I looked at hundreds of suites yet I knew I had found a home when I toured Landmark's the Crandall Building, I was very impressed with the attention to detail. I would happily recommend Landmark Projects to anyone looking for a quality home.
Mark Greene, owner of suite 603, the Crandall Building
Thank you, thank you, thank you. From our initial meeting with you and your representative, Pat Lok, the purchase of our home in the Crandall Building has been a delightful experience. During the past 27 years, we have been involved in several real estate transactions and this has been one of the most enjoyable ones.
We truly appreciated working with your staff who were at all times times courteous and accommodating. They were wonderful in all aspects of this transaction - contract preparations, negotiations, and most important communication and attitude. Whenever we had questions or concerns regarding the construction stage of the building, our needs were met with prompt communication from either your staff or yourselves. This was greatly appreciated...
Phyllis, Danielle, and Gordon
After searching for a unique. loft-style pied a terre in Yaletown, my husband and I purchased a one ?bedroom unit in Landmark Project's The Crandall Building. Our first two months of residence in the building has met and exceeded our expectations. The buildings distinct character, the simple and elegant interiors, and the quality fixtures and fittings are what originally attracted us to this development. After moving in, the few deficiencies that were discovered during the walk-through were promptly repaired. As a first time buyer, were also pleased with how little hassle it was setting up our home in The Crandall Building. The building's new wiring made cable set-up and fast-internet access quick and easy. The pre-installed appliances, such as the washer and dryer, allowed us to move immediately.
Jill Berman & Angus Lockyer
I wanted to express my gratitude and appreciation for the courteous service you provided in the sale of this property. As a first-time homebuyer, I was not sure what to expect and have to admit that the process worked out more smoothly than I had expected. I attribute this to your professionalism as well as that of Pat Lock, the sales assistant.
There were a number of questions, uncertainties and doubts on my side of the negotiations but I never felt pressured into answering a certain way nor did I feel time pressure in any way. On the contrary, I believe I put you under time pressure, something you handled formidably and something I am very grateful for...
Michael Kuhlmann
I take great pleasure in recommending Landmark who were in my estimation nothing short of excellent in every aspect of the dealings I had with them.
Howard, owner
Purchasing a condominium from Landmark Projects & Mr. Esfahani was a great experience. Landmark delivered the perfect suite. It was Mr. Esfahani's attention to detail that made all the difference in the World. I will continue recommending Landmark Projects to everyone I know.
Alex, owner
We have provided floor coverings for Mohammed Esfahani of Landmark Projects for many years. Mohammed has always endeavored to be on the leading edge with the floor covering products he uses in his projects. We have exhaustively researched products from around the world to fit his requests. It is a real pleasure to deal with a client who is so concerned with the quality and appearance of his specific products. No products that have been researched for Mohammed are accepted until it can be verified that they are of premium quality. His attention to his clients' needs is commendable as is his treatment of his subtrades.
Jim Widdifield, J.W. Building Consultants Ltd.
...When I was in the market for a new home Domus was an obvious choice for many reasons. As a developer, you worked with an exceptional design team and delivered homes that had a clean and contemporary aesthetic sensibility which is important to me. After looking in the marketplace, there was nothing that compared closely to your finishing, design and exceptional quality; I was able to move in without a major renovation! There are several features that I believe make your building exceptional:
- Finishing and design detail
- Lockers across the hall and on the same floor - the accessibility is a blessing
- Separate showers and tubs... need I say more; thank you for this!
- Exceptional appliances including bosch dishwashers and ovens
- Large parking spaces
Thank you Roger for making the details important. I look forward to viewing your next development early in the marketing stage.
