Edmonton Most Expensive Condos

The city of Edmonton isn't only famed for its vibrant cultural scene and captivating history, but it also contains an array of upscale real estate that rivals any cosmopolitan city. Among its standout features are the glittering high-rise condominiums dominating the skyline, offering luxurious living spaces with unparalleled views. These architectural marvels don't just provide a comfortable home — they offer a lifestyle filled with opulence and many amenities. Here are seven of the most expensive luxury condos in Edmonton, Alberta.

The Pearl

Built in 2015, The Pearl offers 128 luxury condos spread throughout this soaring 36-storey tower. It's a walk of only a few short blocks to the thriving 104th Avenue strip of shops, restaurants, and nightlife in the Oliver neighbourhood, one of the best neighbourhoods in Edmonton. Even closer to home, there's a bustling retail and dining stretch along Jasper Avenue, including several on The Pearl's ground floor like Toast Culture. Golfers will love having the beautiful, historic Victoria Golf Course and Driving Range just steps from the building's door, part of a network of green space along the North Saskatchewan River that includes Government House Park and others. There's plenty to keep residents busy inside the building, from a spacious fitness centre to shared outdoor patio space.

Units range from one to two bedrooms with around 700 to over 1,500 square feet. Residents will find luxury features like floor-to-ceiling windows, stainless steel appliances, ample closet and storage space, hardwood flooring, and more. Residences in the Pearl also often have private outdoor balconies providing incredible views of the river and downtown Edmonton. One-bedroom units start in the high $200s, while two-bedrooms are available from the mid-$300s and up. More typical properties sell from the high-$400s to the $600,000–$800,000 range.
