New Calgary townhouse cuts price to compete against area's detached homes
2220 26 Ave., S.W., No. 3, Calgary Asking price: $699,800 (May, 2025) Previous asking price: $724,900 (April, 2025) Selling price: $683,000 (May, 2025) Taxes: N/A Property days on market: 38 Listing agent: Kamil Lalji, CIR Realty This luxury townhouse on an infill site six kilometres from Calgary's downtown core is one of eight units newly constructed by Crystal Creek Homes, a developer that more typically builds in the suburbs. This centre unit was advertised for $724,900, but the asking price was quickly trimmed to $699,800 to entice local buyers more used to detached housing. 'From a buyer's perspective, for that number, you can live in a detached home in suburbia or buy an older infill for maybe $200,000 more and get significantly more square footage, plus a double garage,' said agent Kamil Lalji. 'Prices are trending downwards at the moment, so we had to price it ahead of the market, not what things had previously sold for.' Potential buyers of this three-storey unit also had the option of a two-storey model in the row behind it. 'Those are unique because they have walkout basements, but they're not three storeys,' Mr. Lalji said. 'Unit No. 3 was at the front, so it has two bedrooms up with two ensuites. Above that was a loft space with a half-bath and a rooftop deck, which was south facing.' This townhouse has a street-level entrance and 1,580 square feet of living space and an unfinished basement. The main floor has a powder room, open principal rooms, a kitchen with an island and an exit to a private yard and walkway to the garage. Monthly condominium fees are $367, which covers snow removal and lawn care. 'Richmond is super close to downtown, 17th Avenue, and the high streets people tend to love,' Mr. Lalji said. 'It's also adjacent to the Currie Barracks development, which is a big, master plan with eventually 10,000 units … and that'll have a lot of interesting retail.'

Ex-New York Giants DT Chris Canty accused of 'bullying' renter
Former New York Giants defensive lineman Chris Canty is allegedly playing hardball with the lone tenant of a Manhattan townhouse he has owned since 2020. Canty, now an ESPN Radio host in New York City, has one tenant remaining in the Upper West Side building, which is reportedly worth $5.2 million. From the New York Post: The 6-foot-7-inch, 380-pound defensive end wants to transform the nine-unit West 89th Street building into his own luxury townhouse — but 5-foot-6 data analyst Stuart Kalmenson stands in his way. Kalmenson, 59, has lived in his two-bedroom apartment just steps from Central Park for 19 years, paying $2,600 a month rent when Canty, who works out of NYC for ESPN and has a home in Hilton Head, South Carolina, bought the building. Kalmenson has spent more than two years without utilities, made it through the winter without heat or hot water; and lives with floors so rotted and chewed through by mice he's been force 'to 'block off' about one-third of the living room for safety reasons,' he claimed in court filings. Legal action has been filed on both sides and is ongoing. The issue is still unresolved. 'If I'm entitled to a rent-stabilized lease. I don't need to get bullied out of my own home by some guy just because he happened to be a football player,' Kalmenson representatives claim since the building is a co-op, it is not subject to rent stabilization. All of the other tenants who resided in the building when Canty bought it moved out when their leases expired, allowing renovations to begin.
