About The Fairmont

Completed in 1970, The Fairmont was one of the first purpose built condominiums in Alberta and one of the earliest high rises in Edmonton. It is centrally located on Victoria Promenade in the community of Oliver, west of downtown. The location provides every residence with unobstructed views of the stunning North Saskatchewan River valley to the south, easy access to river valley trails, golf courses, cricket grounds, cross-country skiing, as well as close proximity to restaurants, shopping, galleries, markets, medical clinics, churches and synagogues, community services, public transit, University of Alberta, NAIT, Grant MacEwan University, and the downtown business area. The Fairmont offers the best of all worlds!

Residents of The Fairmont enjoy an indoor swimming pool and sauna, change areas, a well-equipped exercise room, social room, a small library, golf practice room, heated underground parking and surface visitor parking.

About Edmonton's Oliver Neighbourhood

Oliver is one of the oldest residential communities in the City of Edmonton. The area is named after Frank Oliver, an early Edmonton resident, businessman, and politician. An inner-city neighbourhood, Oliver is located west of downtown and overlooks the North Saskatchewan River valley.

Located in the river valley south of Oliver are Edmonton's Royal Glenora Club, Victoria Golf Course, and Victoria Park. The High Level Bridge and Groat Bridge give residents access to locations on the south side, including the University of Alberta and Old Strathcona.

The south east portion of this district is also known as Grandin, with both Grandin LRT Station and Grandin School located in this part of the neighbourhood. Jasper Avenue, Edmonton's main avenue, bisects Oliver and provides shops, restaurants and other services.

The Edmonton Brewery District, in northwest Oliver, is an emerging redevelopment of the historic Molson Brewery and Crosstown Motors areas. It will provide retail and commercial space with both an historical and current approach, and provide a future link to the public transit corridor

Today, the community of Oliver is the largest by population, most economically, ethnically and demographically diverse neighbourhood in the City of Edmonton.
