You don’t need me to tell you how hot the Edmonton new home market is right now, just look at all the new communities and showhomes coming up in the city and surrounding region. In fact, real estate giant, Royal LePage, says Edmonton has been the top searched city on its website for the past two years, as everyone looking for a home turns West for the best opportunities.
And those opportunities continue to grow. Just check our cover story on Cambrian. Rohit Land Developments’ latest and largest community in Sherwood Park wows with its splendid nature-rich topography, including ravine lots. Showhomes are now open to visit but a big community launch is coming up in October so be sure to follow us for more.
Our reporting on the latest showhomes in and around the city also reflects the palpable energy in the new home market. Cantiro, Excel Homes and Morrison Homes all have new offerings that raise the excitement even more, and show the tremendous amount of workmanship they pour into each home.
We also shine a spotlight on laned homes, and both Impact Homes and Excel Homes unveil new models that lean on larger designs that fit the emerging multi-generational lifestyle while keeping homes affordable.
We’re all excited about the upcoming BILD Alberta Awards coming this month in Banff, we have a partial list of the finalists inside, which is always a great guide for new homebuyers when they’re checking out the best homes and communities to live in.
Like we always say, the start of finding a new home begins here. From which community you would want to set down roots in, to the home that fits your lifestyle, Edmonton New Home + Condo Guide provides the insight and expertise you can trust. It is all that we do, and we try to do it as comprehensively as possible.

The name itself has a certain magical ring to it, and soon the beguiling beauty of the new ravine community of Cambrian will be plain to see. One of the newest communities to come out in Sherwood Park, this latest Rohit Land development is surprising many with its connection to nature and relaxed, easy-living atmosphere.
That magical property is fast becoming evident. And soon, everyone can know all that it has to offer as new showhomes are now
open this September, ahead of the community’s grand opening on October 14.
There are three showhomes that visitors can already tour in Cambrian, with four more set to open soon.
Cambrian prides itself as one of the most exclusive enclaves in Sherwood Park, where homes offer an escape from the urban jungle into an urbane, peaceful residential neighborhood that works with nature rather than against it.
“Cambrian is a ravine community where you find everything in one place,” says Scott Rudman, Senior Project Manager, Rohit Land Development.
“This master-planned community has a variety of home styles to choose from with future commercial sites, a school, multi-family apartments, parks and open spaces, and more. There are mixed-use trails that meander along the Oldman Creek Ravine and through
the neighbourhood’s rolling landscape connecting the parks and other amenities.”
Residents get to choose among award-winning builders, including ART Homes (which will be building their biggest showhome yet), Bedrock Homes, Gill Built Homes, Rohit Communities, San Rufo Homes, and Victory Homes.
There are a variety of home styles offered to suit every lifestyle, including single-family frontattached garage homes, Zero Lot Line front and rear detached garage homes; as well as duplexes (FrontBack Duplexes) and townhomes.
A key part to Cambrian’s appeal is its proximity to the Oldman Creek Ravine, which opens up recreational opportunities for residents. “There
are very few opportunities for new homes or ravine living in Sherwood Park,” Rudman says.
In fact, Rohit Land has mastered the art of creating elevated, familyfriendly communities that back onto ravines. Some of its most successful and award-wining communities such as Ridgecrest at Glenridding, Woodhaven Edgemont and more, have similar topography that Rohit has been able to make the best use of.
Add to this Cambrian’s accessibility to major amenities like the Emerald Hills Shopping area, Greenland Garden Centre, and the Strathcona Community Hospital, then you have the makings of a stellar, all-inclusive community that addresses the residents’ needs.
Rohit’s dependability in putting the residents’ needs first also comes into play in Cambrian. “We ensure amenities are ready before the first residents arrive, a principle we follow in all our communities, with a playground set to open before the first residents move in. In Cambrian, we have set aside 27 per cent of the total land for recreation through open spaces including parks and playgrounds, and ponds,” Rudman points out.
“This coming fall, we’re thrilled to unveil the state-of-the-art Cambrian Wave playground, designed for kids who love swings, climbing, and parkour adventures. Additionally, one of the four ponds in the neighborhood will be fully completed this fall. The dog park is set to open its doors next year.”

Sherwood Park is also one of the best cities for families in Alberta with incredible opportunities for recreation, sporting and activities.
“Sherwood Park is a wonderful community known for its safe neighbourhoods and being recognized as one of the happiest places in the Prairies to live,” Rudman says.
“With limited new home inventory in Sherwood Park, Cambrian goes beyond being just a place to live in. We’re keeping that tight-knit Sherwood Park spirit alive –neighbours who care for each other, families cheering on hockey games, and enjoying community events,” says Marty Pawlina, Division Marketing Manager, Rohit Land Development.
Sherwood Park is located just east of Edmonton, and growth
is the abiding promise here. It is a community that continues to prosper with well over two-thirds of Strathcona County residents residing here. And more growth is coming in the near future, as Rohit Land Development ramps up efforts for the development of Cambrian, its largest development here.
Pawlina explains that the smalltown charm that prevail in Sherwood Park make it quite appealing to homebuyers. And Cambrian, promises to emphasize that feel in its design.
“Living in Sherwood Park gives a close-knit community feel where residents are more rooted in their community, enhancing the quality of life and well-being of all of its residents,” he tells Edmonton New
Home + Condo Guide. “Focused on community building and developing a dynamic environment, Sherwood Park is an exceptionally safe place for families to call home.”
While the showhomes are already available for viewing, the grand opening event is scheduled for October 14th. “We extend a warm invitation to everyone to join us for an afternoon of pumpkin carving, pony rides, and more at the Cambrian Harvest Festival! It’s a fantastic opportunity to explore the community, connect with our builders, and discover all that Cambrian has to offer.”

The young, dynamic community of Woodbend best exemplifies the easy, relaxed, family-friendly lifestyle Leduc is best known for. And the new showhomes opening in September will give it an even more irresistible appeal.
Luxurious, estate showhomes from Homes by SherBilt and Jacobs Construction are opening this month to kick off the new estate phase of the community on the northwest side of Leduc, close the Hwy 39.
Both Homes by SherBilt and Jacob’s Construction are Leducbased custom home builders with years of experience, and partnering with developer Carrington Land, which also calls Leduc home, makes Woodbend a true local success story.
But that’s not all there is to get excited about Woodbend, says Laura Box, Marketing Manager at Carrington Land.
“There is a brand-new pond with walking trails that just opened that residents already love and use. An independent grocery store is confirmed and coming to the nearby Woodbend Market commercial centre that adds to the already long-list of in-community amenities. And a secondary school across the street from us is opening in 2024,” she says.
No wonder Woodbend has been particularly popular, and already has 162 homes sold, with still many years of growth left.
The new estate showhomes add to the single-family home showhome from Bedrock Homes that is already open. San Rufo Homes also builds in Woodbend.
The new estate homes from Homes by SherBilt and Jacobs Construction are on some of the most scenic lots in Woodbend backing onto a pond and greenspace.
“We’re the most affordable place to live in Leduc with homes starting in the $400,000s. It is super quiet, with friendly neighbours that have yearly block parties, and neighbourly events that build the bonds of a strong community,” Box says.
Woodbend also offers move-in ready homes for homebuyers needing shorter possession timelines.
Leduc is one of the fastest growing urban centres in Alberta, but it has not lost its small-town vibe. “Leduc truly has a small town feel with the big city amenities. Parks, walking trails and anything outdoor related is very important in Leduc,” Box says.
“It has all the amenities of Edmonton, but with a more relaxed feel, it is quiet, and neighbourly. You are 12 minutes from Costco, airport, and shopping mall. There is an awesome rec center, skate park, park spaces and downtown area in Leduc and if you work in Edmonton, it is still a very short commute.”
Located about 9 km away from the Edmonton International Airport, and about 33 km south from Edmonton itself. Leduc has become a top choice for homebuyers looking for affordability and a safe, secure community where they can plant the roots of family. But it has more to offer than just that.

The southwest sector of Edmonton can be characterized in a couple of ways – one, as a booming, cosmopolitan mini-city with tons of growth potential, and the other as a nature-connected enclave that offers the peace and tranquility of the quiet countryside.
But what it is ultimately is a welcoming community where families can set down roots, with a multitude of opportunities for homebuyers to find their forever home.
With comparatively low crime rates, neighbourhoods in the south and southwestern parts of Edmonton are generally considered to be relatively safe and very family-friendly.
As in all of Alberta’s larger cities, Edmonton has a well-developed transportation system. Southwest residents have easy access to public transportation, including the ETS and
the LRT that connects the area to all other sectors of Edmonton. The Anthony Henday Drive that encircles the city has made accessibility a breeze in the sector too and living in the southwest gives residents greater ease travelling in and out of the city to Calgary or Red Deer via the Queen Elizabeth II Highway.
As can be plainly seen, Southwest Edmonton has a lot to offer: beautiful master-planned communities, convenient transportation options, prime location, great schools, plentiful shopping choices, and lots of restaurants, parks, and recreation centres to choose from. Without a doubt, southwest Edmonton is a great place to make a home.
Every type of housing option in every budget is readily available
here, from apartment condos, to townhomes, to luxurious estate family homes. Almost all of Edmonton’s most recognizable builders and developers have a presence here, and some of the most active are Cantiro, Rohit Land Development, and Qualico Communities.
Cantiro’s active projects include ONE at Keswick, and Cantiro
Townhomes at ONE at Keswick; Qualico Communities has Crimson at Creekwood Chapelle, Langdale in Windermere, and Point at Glenridding Ravine; MLC Group has Keswick Landing, The Banks at Keswick and Keswick on the River; while Rohit Land Developments has Arbours of Keswick and Ridgecrest at Glenridding Ravine.
The energy is palpable in the Southwest, especially along the
popular Currents of Windermere commercial centre, where new retail shops, restaurants and services are going up fast.
Just off Anthony Henday and Terwillegar Drive, Currents of Windermere is SW Edmonton’s finest new shopping centre destination, featuring quality retailers, convenient services, entertainment and convenient and delicious dining options. It features many new-tomarket concepts, defining it as a unique shopping destination.
Restaurants and diners or every flavour are within, like Barcelos – the home of flame-grilled chicken, or Burger Village which specializes in organic fastfood menu.
There are many excellent restaurants and diners in the immediate vicinity too, like XIX Nineteen that brings contemporary tastes to traditional favourites, Buco Pizzeria & Vino Bar that specializes in fresh, modern Italian entrées, grilled dishes, desserts, and napoletana pizza.
One of the most remarkable places to shop in Southwest Edmonton is the Southwest Edmonton Farmers’ Market (SWEFM). Established in 2011, the market is home to over 60 local farmers, bakers and makers. It is open every Wednesday from May 17 to October 4 from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m.
The Terwillegar Community Recreation Centre provides the community with exceptional health, wellness and sports amenities. People of all ages and abilities can gather to learn, exercise, relax, meet, and have fun in this community hub.
If you’re a golfer, the southwest may just be the best community as the popular Jagare Ridge Golf Club, River Ridge Golf & Country Club and the Windermere Golf & Country Club are within its borders. But that isn’t the only outdoor activity one can enjoy in the southwest.
There are plenty of outdoor recreational opportunities around. It
is in fact promoted by many of the land developers here as among the area’s greatest assets. Whitemud Creek runs through the southwest and affords plenty of quiet, idyllic scenery for calm walks, jogging or biking.
Southwest Highland natural area is a very unique natural feature. It is the highest point in Edmonton, with an elevation of 716 m at its southern end and steep slopes on its east and west sides. It offers a beautiful view of Edmonton to the east, west and south, and Whitemud Ravine to the southeast. Given its proximity to both the ravine and the River Valley, the natural area provides an important linking function for wildlife. Its steep slopes support an interesting combination of successional stage and pioneer vegetation communities, including beaked hazelnut and snowberry.
Many developers like Rohit Land Developments have been able to take advantage of the southwest’s unique topography. Their seven-acre Gordon King Pond in the Arbours of Keswick neighbourhood has become an escape to nature for many residents.
Their other southwest community, Ridgecrest at Glenridding Ravine, backs onto Whitemud Creek Ravine, and there will be beautiful homes on the ridge that overlook stunning sceneries. Everyone in the community will have access to walking paths that lead through this wonderful natural landscape and storm ponds.

It has been a long hot summer and it’s not over yet, but builders are getting ready for what looks to be a robust fall market as new home sales in Edmonton continue to surge.
All the new communities in Edmonton and region have exciting showhome parades to go through, and Edmonton New Home + Condo Guide is here to “guide” new homebuyers on their picks and here are a few of our favourite new and upcoming showhome parades.
Showhomes are an indispensable tool in the homebuilder’s toolkit. They allow the customers to get a feel for what can be the biggest purchase of their life, at the same time it lets the homebuilder showcase their skills and expertise.
“In many cases, the showhome is a great way to show our customers new models, specifications, upgrades and more,” says Excel Homes Marketing Manager, Kristina Plank. “It is also a way of showing customers our brand and who we are as a builder.”
Showhomes can inspire buyers, says Jennifer Smith, Marketing Manager at Cantiro. “Buyers can get inspired by the design choices, interior styles, and overall aesthetics of the space, helping them envision their dream home,” she says.
“Furthermore, purchasing a home is a significant financial investment. Showhomes provide buyers with the reassurance that their decision is well-informed. They can physically experience the space before committing to a purchase, reducing the uncertainty associated with buying a property.”
The emotional impact of a showhome cannot be discounted either, says Landen Sparrow, Marketing Specialist at Morrison Homes. “A showhome allows the buyers to walk through a preview of their new home – picture themselves living in the spaces. A showhome puts thoughts and ideas into something visual and allows customers to take a test drive of their new home.”
Taabish Zaver, Cantiro’s Interior Design Manager, says making the showhome stand out to buyers is an important strategy for Cantiro. “When buyers are visiting multiple properties, a showhome serves as a benchmark for comparison. They can evaluate other homes based on the standard set by the showhome, making it easier to identify the best option,” she says.
This is why Cantiro’s homes all have the “wow” factor to make them memorable to the visitors. “Our purpose is to create the environments for amazing lives to happen. When selecting our showhome model and interior design we aim to create a space where buyers can see themselves living in the home with their own personal touches and imagine where amazing memories will take place.”
Their Cantiro Life Collection Homes offers a perfect example with professionally curated Interior Styles as well as upgrade options for personalizing the home. “Buyers have their choice of six beautiful, cohesive designer looks, filled with elevated finishes and high-end brands. Each Cantiro showhome displays one of our Interior Style packageswith some showcasing upgrade options available, showing buyers how these options will impact the overall look and feel of their home.” You can explore all six Interior Styles at cantiro. ca/interiorstyles.
Cantiro offers buyers the flexibility to self-tour showhomes at a time that is most convenient to them by visiting the cantiro.ca/self-tour website. But Smith says touring the showhome during showhome hours allows the buyer to meet the team behind their future home, helping them make informed decisions about the long-term value and quality of the home.
Cantiro has 12 showhomes in the Edmonton area currently, and more are coming in 2024, including three in Cantiro’s newest communities of Riverstead at Keswick in southwest Edmonton, and five and in Alces in the southeast.
“We have a new three-storey single family showhome opening in Rosenthal. The Family Sky View 18 will be opening this September at 8047 227 Street NW. This 1,981 square-foot home features our newest design-forward Interior Style, Shade, which integrates a balancing act of light and dark, complemented by warm woods,” Smith says.
Another showhome people need to visit is the Entertain Play 24 located at 3409 Kulay Green SW in ONE at Keswick. “This home was designed for the host that is all about fun –whether it’s gathering around the piano, shooting a round of pool, karaoke nights with your friends, or hosting a watch party.” Smith points out that ONE at Keswick is now selling its final phase.

The celebration of Excel Homes’ 35th anniversary this year has been very successful, Plank says, and has really helped expand their share in the Edmonton new home market, not just in terms of sales but in name recognition as well.
They are growing their showhome line up and are adding two more this month to the five they currently have in The Orchards, Vita Crystallina, Edgemont, Keswick Landing and Citadel.
“We have two new duplex show homes in The Orchards. (Sales centre: 2371 Chokecherry Close SW), starting from the mid $400,000s that will open on September 9, 2023,” Plank says.
Excel Homes Excel HomesThe First one is The Emerson, a 1,462 square-foot two-storey attached home with three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths. “The Emerson is a functional and fashionable duplex home with an attached double-car garage. At the heart of your new home, you’ll find your kitchen, complete with a walk-in pantry and additional storage. This area is the ideal space for bringing families and friends together to share a meal and make new memories. The second-floor features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, two walkin closets, as well as your laundry room and two linen closets.”
Next is The Bentley, a 1,555 squarefoot two-storey attached home that allows buyers to experience all that duplex living has to offer with this spacious and modern floor plan. “The Bentley is made for families, so we have included an attached doublecar garage for functionality and convenience,” Plank says.
“It has an inclusive layout ideal for growing families and those who enjoy entertaining. View all the action of your home while preparing for dinner or relaxing on the sofa. Travel upstairs to find your second-floor laundry room, complete with a side-byside washer and dryer. Your primary bedroom and ensuite await, with an attached walk-in closet and private layout, creating a relaxing getaway.”
Plank states that Excel Homes has updated its standard specs for tis 35th anniversary. “While we do like to show off some of our new and impressive upgrades in show homes, we also try and showcase upgrades that are affordable and attainable, and our new updated specs certainly fits the bill.”
Morrison Homes has a slate of award-winning models available in Edmonton and their showhomes express in detail why they have been such a success.
“Showhomes allow Morrison Homes to showcase our awardwinning models while providing a welcoming environment for customers to discuss their new home needs with a new home
expert,” Sparrow says. he showhome allows us to demonstrate our expert craftsmanship and multitude of design and finishing options. We hope to not only equip the customer with everything they need to move forward with their new home journey but also to build the trust that Morrison Homes will make building their dream home a rewarding experience.”
Morrison Homes has 11 showhomes in seven Edmonton area communities, including in Elan in Beaumont (2 showhomes), Riverside (2), Cy Becker, Rosenthal, Tonewood (2), and Glenridding
“We have two more showhomes that just opened in Marquis West!” Sparrow says. This is one of the newest communities in Edmonton’s NE corner, and offers enormous accessibility with Anthony Henday Drive nearby, as well as proximity to Edmonton’s scenic ravines and all the recreational opportunities they offer.
New is The Harrison II (on 17211 2 street NW). “It is our newest front attached garage showhome, this floorplan boasts lots of natural light and the kitchen design cannot be missed. Featuring a spice kitchen, walk through pantry, and spacious island, this kitchen will have you planning your dream dinner party.”
She adds that the second floor has a spacious bonus room, laundry room, and the ensuite with a standalone tub to relax after a long day.
Also new is The Nixon, a rear detached showhome (at 17216 2 Street NW) that includes a bonus playroom at the front that your kids won’t want to leave! “Visitors will remember the stunning main floor bathroom shower tiled floor to ceiling, and the upstairs loft, great for office space,” she adds.
“While it can be tempting to showcase absolutely everything Morrison Homes can offer in a new home, we are very careful to consider flow and how a home feels overall. All customers should feel at home when they walk through one of our showhomes and feel that there’s something there that speaks to them personally and be able to picture themselves living there.” Find

Laned homes have been the darling of the new homebuyer set for almost as long as there has been a new homebuilding industry. This type of home usually has a porch or veranda facing the street, or big front windows with unencumbered view of the front yard. It also has a parking pad or detached garage with rear lane access, and it has always been the preferred first home for many.
Traditional designs have typically been utilitarian with three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths with an open concept main floor and a basement development option. But lately, there has been a noticeable change in the design.
Over the last decade or so, it was rare to see laned homes larger than 1,500 square-feet in Edmonton. But today, as lifestyle needs of buyers
continue to evolve, laned homes have gotten bigger, offering more living space than ever before, many coming with options for spice kitchens, and main floor bedrooms, and more.
We spoke with a few local homebuilders to explain the laned homes’ continued allure and its new, lifestyle designs.
Tara Van Horn, Director Marketing & Design for Coventry Homes, and Impact Homes says laned homes offer much in terms of curb appeal but changing needs have led to new design innovations.
“Laned homes continue to evolve with the needs of those buying them. Impact Homes now offers laned homes ranging from 1,361 to 2,145 square feet and offers a multitude of
optional layouts to meet the needs of home buyers,” she tells Edmonton New Home + Condo Guide.
She adds that laned homes are often still the more affordable option compared to front attached garage homes, and having the variety of sizes and plans caters to the needs of many home buyers. “The smaller square footage homes are great for first time home buyers while the larger plans are a great option for those wanting to upsize or even downsize from a front attached home.”
Excel Homes Marketing Manager
Kristina Plank says laned homes remain to be “Goldilocks homes, “because they aren’t too big, or too small, they’re just right. “They have huge curb appeal, suited to a lot of lifestyles, providing lots of great living
space – with the potential for more if you develop the basement,”
Excel Homes offers four models of laned homes in Edmonton currently, ranging from 1,226 to 1,636 squarefeet. They can be found in the communities of Vita Crystallina in the northwest, and Edgemont in the southwest.
“Our top selling laned model in Edmonton is the Sienna – a 1,636-square-foot home with three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths,” Plank says.
The Sienna is a bright, open, and fully loaded laned home designed with families in mind. The main floor offers flexibility and a great place to entertain with a central kitchen and plenty of seating in the great room. A main floor flex room provides the
perfect space for a home office, or it can be turned into an extra bedroom. The second floor has an inviting bonus room and laundry, which separates the additional bedrooms from the spacious master suite. An optional developed basement can accommodate a full legal suite, or simply more room for fun and games with the family! It starts from the high $400,000s.
“The Sienna laned show home in Vita Crystallina is very popular among younger families and growing families. It offers a ton of flexibility and affordability,” she adds.
She also says that, despite the rising interest rates, today might still be the right time to buy. “Interest rates aren’t the only thing rising; building supplies and labour costs also continue to increase. The advantage of buying now is price protection – you lock
in your price, and you are safe from future cost increases.”

Impact homes specializes in laned homes that reflect both the needs for today and tomorrow, and their commitment to excellence in every aspect of their business has made them a top choice for discerning homeowners looking for quality, value, and lifestyle.
Serving the Greater Edmonton Area, including Fort Saskatchewan, Ardrossan, St. Albert, and Spruce Grove, Impact Homes offers a wide range of laned home floor plans, styles, and features to choose from, and can also customize designs to suit a specific lifestyle.
Excel Homes Excel Homes Excel Homes Excel Homes“Whether you are a first-time homebuyer, or a growing family we have a laned home that suits your lifestyle and budget. As a family owned and run business, Impact Homes is a company that cares about you and your dream home,” Van Horn says.
She explains that the friendly façade it presents from the curb is a big reason why laned homes continue to appeal to homebuyers. But it is their relative affordability is its most important distinction.
“Laned homes offer homebuyers the space and privacy of a singlefamily home at a much more affordable price-point. Though laned homes are typically pricier than multifamily homes, buyers understand the value that the additional space and privacy adds and feel the cost is worth the investment,” she adds.
Impact’s Trireme laned home model continues to be its best-seller. At 1,651 sq. ft. with three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths, it has an innate flexibility that buyers love.
“It comes with over seven different pre-drawn optional layouts, with endless opportunity to customize even further. From a rear kitchen layout to centre kitchen, bonus room to two master bedrooms, this plan is versatile enough to suit many different lifestyles and preferences,” Van Horn says.
To help new homebuyers determine what plans and optional layouts suit their lifestyle best, Impact homes recently launched a new website. “Homebuyers can now visit www.impacthomes.ca to use the new Interactive Customization feature to design their laned home to suit their lifestyle. From the floorplan to the exterior and interior finishes. It’s a great way to help fist time homebuyers to visualize the plan and finishes of their next home.”
Impact Homes currently has a great promotion running. “Build any Impact Homes presale model and get the detached garage built for free! Restrictions do apply, so please visit your local Area Sales Manager for the details.
