Mantra is a modern four-storey condominium in Calgary’s Lower Mount Royal, offering spacious suite layouts and a quiet inner-city residential setting near 17th Avenue.
Completed in 2005, Mantra is a low-rise condominium building featuring 47 residential suites. Constructed with wood-frame design, brick and stucco exterior detailing, and a concrete underground parkade, the building balances modern construction with a timeless streetscape.
The residences are primarily one-bedroom-plus-den and two-bedroom layouts, with generously sized floor plans ranging from approximately 815 to over 1,175 square feet. This emphasis on space makes Mantra appealing to buyers seeking comfortable inner-city living without the density of larger high-rise developments. Its Lower Mount Royal location provides convenient access to 17th Avenue shopping, dining, and downtown Calgary while maintaining a residential atmosphere.
Its tree-lined streets, mix of heritage homes and modern condos, and dynamic social scene make it a prime destination for young professionals, families, and those who want to experience the best of city living while enjoying a laid-back neighborhood vibe.
Lower Mount Royal has a storied past, originally developed as an extension of the prestigious Mount Royal community, which was one of Calgary’s most elite neighborhoods in the early 1900s. While Upper Mount Royal retained its more traditional residential character, Lower Mount Royal began to develop as a more urban and accessible community. Many of the stately homes from the early 20th century still stand today, giving the area a rich architectural heritage.
As Calgary grew, Lower Mount Royal underwent significant changes, with apartment buildings and condominiums gradually replacing some of the older single-family homes. Today, the neighborhood offers a balanced mix of historical charm and modern urban development, making it one of the city’s most desirable places to live.
