Condominium Types are determined by Condominium Plan Conventional: In a Conventional condominium project the physical structure is divided into (cubic spaces) units. The outside of the units are designated as common property. The Condominium Plan shows the unit boundaries, unit sizes, unit layouts, the unit factors for each unit, particulars regarding parking stalls or storage lockers, and if they have been titled or assigned. All condominium plans registered prior to 1983 are conventional plans. Bare Land: Provisions for Bare Land Condominiums were just added to the Condominium Property Act in 1983. In a Bare Land condo project, units are created from the land. There may or may not be buildings on them. The boundaries of the units are marked with pins. An owner of a Bare Land Condo unit owns everything built on it including the building, decks, patios, driveways, etc. Bare Land Condo plans look like single family home subdivision plans except they get registered as a Bare Land Condominium Plan with no buildings shown on them. Barely Blended: This type of Condominium Plan is a combination of Bare Land and Conventional. First a Bare Land condominium plan is registered which creates building envelopes. The Developer then builds a building on an envelope and re-divides the Bare Land unit into Conventional condominium units. This type of plan is used for an Apartment Building project where several buildings are built one building at a time. This type of project allows the Developer informally to phase the project. Phased Development: In Calgary, formal phased development is not used often. |
