EDITOR’S NOTE

LOOKING AHEAD TO 2024

PEPPER RODRIGUEZ EDITOR New Home + Condo Guide

Move in fast with quick possession homes. Page 30

+ get social 6

Edmonton’s fall new home buying season ended in a flurry that saw several showhomes and communities open to the public, but even with the Holidays fast approaching there still seems to be a lot of activity in the market. Coventry Homes’ beautiful Bianca showhome graces the cover this month, and is a perfect example of the new home opportunities opening up in the city. This issue brings us to that time of the year again, where we look back at the accomplishments of the past year and look eagerly towards what’s ahead in 2024. We attempt to take all this into account in our Outlook 2024, where we talk with industry leaders on what they see as the challenges going forward and how the builders, developers and buyers themselves can surmount them. We further assess the quick possession home situation in Edmonton as we talk to a few more builders on how they were able to cope through the year and the advantages they bring, especially to the homebuyer operating on a limited timeline. We also take a look at St. Albert in our monthly Explore series and find the numerous new opportunities available in this city just north of Edmonton. Coventry Homes is particularly excited about their new offerings in the new St. Albert community of Noveau, check out the story inside. If you love showhomes as much as I do, check out Salina Yara Halabi’s Inside Edmonton news column to see more of what’s new and exciting. And follow us on Instagram and Facebook as we cover the newest communities and showhomes to guide you on your homebuying journey.

COVER STORY

THE CHARMING VERSATILITY OF THE

BIANCA A versatile design, stylish functionality and a timeless allure, Coventry Homes’ Bianca is a family home for the ages. And the latest showhome in Marquis West checks all the boxes of a dream family home. The new Bianca showhome opened early in the fall of 2023, and feedback has been very positive. “It has been very warmly received,” says Tara Van Horn, Director, Marketing & Design at Coventry Homes. “Everyone that has seen it says it feels big and bright.” The positive reviews were to be expected as the Bianca has been one of Coventry Homes’ best-selling models. Its versatility is what makes it so unique, as it can answer a lot of lifestyle needs of buyers. It has a roomy, open concept main floor that is perfect for entertaining, 8 New Home + Condo Guide | Dec. 8, 2023-Feb. 16, 2024

and it can have a side door entrance that enables an income suite to be developed in the basement, and much more. “It is a very versatile plan, with several model-options to choose from, including a four-bedroom layout upstairs,” Van Horn says. “It can fit on a wide variety of lots, is affordable and highly functional.” As an example of its versatility, another Bianca showhome opened in West Secord earlier in the year and it so much different than the one in Marquis West no one would think it was the same model. Furthermore, the Bianca is such a beauty that a showhome before that was even a finalist in the 2019 CHBA Edmonton Region Awards. The new Bianca showhome in this young northeast Edmonton

community of Marquis West will surely reap honours as well. “It boasts a European farmhouse style that is at once contemporary and timeless, with black frame windows that pop and make a statement in the space,” Van Horn says. Hardwood stairs with white risers and Eastern style stringer for railing adds elegance to the home, and a stone fireplace gives it a cozy European feel. The stacked cabinetry in the kitchen is a nod to its tremendous functionality. The 1,788 square-foot Bianca showhome in Marquis West has three bedrooms (with a fourth bedroom option available), two-and-a-half baths and a fully finished basement suite. Some of the most loved features in this showhome is the popular Executive Chef package in the

kitchen, and the Maximum Living finished basement option. The Bianca’s Executive Chef kitchen is a stunner. It has elegant 1 ¼” -inch quartz countertops, two-tone cabinets in Natural Oak and Whitecap, and the nine-foot-tall ceilings throughout the main floor (and the basement) give it such an airy, spacious feel that makes the home feel larger. “Many of us are spending more time in the kitchen making the dishes we love and even experimenting with some new ones. So, it’s no wonder that finding a home with a kitchen that feels incredible every time you step into it is becoming increasingly important for many new homebuyers,” Van Horn says. The showhome’s upper floor is also delightfully designed to give

each member of the family their privacy with a centrally located gallery that separates the master bedroom from the two other bedrooms. This ensures there will be enough room for young and growing families to live comfortably. Homeowners will fall in love with the roomy master suite, which features a gorgeous five-piece ensuite and a spacious walk-in closet. The second floor also includes a handy laundry room designed with tile floors and enough space to answer all the laundry needs of a growing family. The great room with its lovely fireplace is another favourite and is sure to invite pleasant conversations among friends. It’s a terrific spot to entertain and can be the place to create family memories, as it’s easy to imagine it decked out in festive décor nexthome.ca 9

for Christmas, Thanksgiving, or any other family gatherings. The basement displays the home’s full potential with a Maximum Living package that includes a fireplace, an additional bedroom, with a full bath and craft area. It’s easy enough to converting the space into a legal suite or as one of Coventry Homes patented Edmonton Oilers’ Fancaves. “Currently, we also have a limited time promotion offering free basement development for our presale customers,” she adds. In Marquis West, Coventry Homes starts from the $400,000s, while the Bianca models is from the low $500,000s. The Bianca is one in Coventry Homes’ long line of fabulous front drive homes with double attached garage, three bedrooms and twoand-a-half baths, and perfect though the showhome may already be, Coventry Homes is one of the rare builders that can improve on perfection. The Bianca can have as many as five bedrooms and threeand-a-half baths.

“Because it is so highly versatile, the Bianca is appealing to a wide variety of homebuyers – from families to young professionals to empty-nesters,” Van Horn says. “It is most-often sought after by budgetconscious buyers who are looking for a balance between space and affordability. It offers more space than a traditional starter home, but it is not overly large and the flexible layout options can accommodate an assortment of lifestyles.” Living in Marquis West is its own reward, as this up-and-coming 10 New Home + Condo Guide | Dec. 8, 2023-Feb. 16, 2024

neighbourhood in Edmonton’s northeast has it all. “It is a safe and serene neighbourhood surrounded by forested ravines, the North Saskatchewan River is nearby and has a rare closeness to nature. Yet it is still close enough to Edmonton’s ring road to make it ideal for commuting and easy access to all sorts of amenities,” Van Horn says. “Marquis West gives buyers the ability to live outside the hustle and bustle of the city while still being able to enjoy the great amenities the city has to offer.”

PROPERTY PROFILE | MORRISON HOMES

ENJOY THE HOLIDAYS What better way to start the New Year than in a brand-new home? Better yet, a glistening new Morrison Home that buyers can enjoy in time for Christmas! For someone looking for a new home in Edmonton, without waiting 10 months for one to be built, Morrison Homes’ array of move in ready homes just might provide the answer. The quick possession home is a staple among new home builders that allows buyers on a tight timeline to move in without the wait that traditionally comes with new construction. These homes are built to a pre-determined builder specification – thus the term “spec home” – and the interior color selections are chosen by an experienced in-house designer to

14 New Home + Condo Guide | Dec. 8, 2023-Feb. 16, 2024

provide a beautiful flow to the home and shorten the overall timeline for the buyer. “Quick possession homes allow us to have homes in the ground, ready to go for potential customers that need homes on shorter timelines (30-90 days) than our traditional pre-sales (10 months),” says Landen Sparrow, marketing specialist at Morrison Homes. “Quick Possession homes are already built or close to ready to move in right away! You get the quick move in benefits of the resale market, while locking in current interest rates, without compromising on a brand-new home with a new home warranty.” Morrison Homes maintains a healthy inventory of these homes throughout Edmonton. From

townhomes, duplex, laned homes, to move-up front-drive garage homes for all tastes and price points, they have it in all the many communities they build in across the city. Choose from the variety of new communities that Morrison Homes builds in including Glenridding Ravine in Southwest Edmonton, Marquis West, and Cy Becker in the Northeast, Elan in Beaumont, Riverside in St. Albert, and Tonewood in Spruce Grove. A defining factor that sets Morrison Homes’ quick possession home program apart is in keeping with their long-standing core value of putting the customer first. “One of the things Morrison homebuyers love once they’ve purchased a spec home is that we include a pre-occupancy inspection

IN A MORRISON HOMES QUICK POSSESSION HOME

as well as a welcome home orientation complete with our awardwinning home warranty program, all as part of our Building Together process,” Sparrow says. “These two touchpoints provide a technical walk-through to learn the features of your new home as well as to identify any potential deficiencies for repair prior to the move-in date. Morrison’s warranty program includes a 4 and 12-month inspection as well as 1, 2, 5, and 10year warranty coverage.” One of the quick possession homes they have currently that is generating a lot of interest is the Foster laned home in Marquis West. At 1,344 square-feet, this threebedroom, two-and-a-half bath home has it all for couples or young families looking to start life in a new home. At just under $400,000 it provides a great entry point that’s friendly to most budgets in today’s environment. The Foster features a rear galley kitchen with a central island that has always been popular with busy families. The large windows allow for plenty of natural light to stream inside the house, tall ceilings elevate the feeling of spaciousness, and a secluded rear entrance gives residents a moment to decompress as they store bags and coats after a long day. “The kitchen island is very popular as it provides homeowners a spot for a quick bite of breakfast as they head out the door, or a nice staging area for dinner,” Sparrow says.

“Upstairs you’ll find three bedrooms and a convenient laundry room for ease of putting laundry away! A combination of neutral and modern finishings throughout the home make for a bright living area, and spaces you’ll be thrilled to call home.” It can be a challenge when shopping for a new home with the plethora of choices available to determine what your new home will look like, amidst the many options generally shown in showhomes. Morrison Homes quick possession homes are designed to keep up with market design trends and give customers a preview of what living in their actual home will look like! To find out more about the quick possession move-in ready homes that Morrison Homes currently offers, visit one of their 13 showhomes in seven Edmonton area communities, nine that have recently opened, including in the communities of Elan

in Beaumont, Riverside, Cy Becker, Marquis West, Rosenthal, Tonewood, and Glenridding Ravine. Or visit morrisonhomes.ca for more.

PROPERTY PROFILE | DAYTONA HOMES EDMONTON

DAYTONA HOMES: 30 YEARS OF CRAFTING HOMEOWNERSHIP DREAMS For the past three decades, Daytona Homes has built a reputation for crafting stylish, lifestyle-oriented homes in Edmonton that are designed with people at heart. As Daytona heads into 2024, continuing to deliver high-quality homes that are attainable for homebuyers is their team’s main goal. Founded in 1993 by Ralph Hutchinson, Daytona Homes has been steadily growing, and now the company has expanded into multiple cities across Canada, invested in numerous communities, and innovated its housing products to meet the evolving needs of its homebuyers. “At Daytona Homes, we believe in doing what’s right, no matter what,”

20 New Home + Condo Guide | Dec. 8, 2023-Feb. 16, 2024

says Daytona Homes Sales Manager, Tania Nash. “This approach is seen in our steadfast commitment to affordability, thoughtful design, quality materials and skilled trades. Our team, partners, customers and communities can count on us to always put people first and lead with care.” CRAFTED WITH CARE

The emphasis on craftsmanship and quality is seen throughout its extensive selection of home designs, including townhomes, duplexes, and single-family homes with both detached and attached garages. Daytona Homes’ focus on customer care is also a big part of its company ethos, especially as many of their clients are first-time homebuyers

who appreciate Daytona’s thoughtful approach to the homebuying process. “Our offerings also encompass a diverse array of floor plans, including the highly sought-after investment suite options,” Nash says. Daytona Homes, part of the Tacada group of real estate companies, builds in 10 communities in Edmonton and surrounding areas, and more are coming soon. EYE ON AFFORDABILITY

As they head into 2024, Daytona Homes is focused on how to keep their homes affordable. Their goal is to ensure homebuyers are getting high-quality homes that are priced right – and they are confident that they can deliver.

DAYTONA HOMES BUILDS IN THESE EDMONTON AREA COMMUNITIES: West: Rosemont (coming soon), Ellis Greens SouthWest: Chappelle Gardens, Saxony Glen, The Uplands at Riverview SouthEast: The Orchards at Ellerslie NorthEast: Crystallina Nera Ardrossan: Ardrossan Heights Sherwood Park: Hillshire

“Affordability is the biggest challenge homeowners are facing in this market, so designing attainable homes is our top priority,” Nash says. “In the upcoming year, we’re focused on introducing more models that cater to the evolving market, ultimately supporting homeownership. Our dedication extends to our customers, employees, trades, suppliers, and partners, all collaborating to craft new homes and an unparalleled home buying experience.” She adds that Daytona’s success is rooted in its ability to stay attuned to the ever-changing lifestyles, needs, and aspirations of its homebuyers. “With this insight, we design homes and communities tailored to each individual. As a company, we prioritize quality in our people, our work, and our product,” Nash says. “Our emphasis remains on continuous

business growth for many years to come.” This focus on family-oriented designs can be easily seen in the eight showhomes they have in the Edmonton region. THE WOW FACTOR

Each showhome has their own unique touches and a “wow factor” that has made them a must-see in all the communities they are in. Their Macan front-drive-garage showhome in the Uplands at Riverview features a stunning basement legal suite that realizes the home’s full potential. While its Carrera laned showhome in the Orchards has a legal suite above the detached garage that has been a popular option for many of its laned home buyers. Nash says the Venture is their top selling front attached home. “It is popular for its smart functionality and

affordability. It features and a beautiful open concept design with over 1,800 square-feet of living space. Because of its popularity we’ve made sure it’s available in most of our communities.” Buyers can check out the Venture showhome in Ellis Greens. She says the Tiguan 2, which has a showhome in Chapelle Gardens, is their most popular laned home. The desirable flexibility of its design makes it easy to personalize to almost every need. “This home comes with a bonus room on the second floor, which is rare on laned homes,” Nash says. “It also comes with a side entry, which is essential if you are thinking of developing the basement for future revenue potential.” Daytona is Edmonton’s leading investment suite builder, Nash states. “We offer a unique opportunity for homeowners to strategically offset their mortgage by incorporating income-generating rental suites into their properties, providing a pathway to financial growth and stability.” At Daytona Homes everything is done with a focus on the details, and an unwavering commitment to quality and craftsmanship. From their team’s dedication to supporting customers find their perfect address, to their care for communities, partners, and local organizations – it’s evident that every element of the Daytona experience is crafted with care.

THE HEAVENLY LIFESTYLE OF

ST. ALBERT by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ St. Albert boasts a family-friendly vibe with lots of parks and recreational opportunities, so much so that it has been consistently ranked as one of

Sorrentino’s Cucina + Bar

24 New Home + Condo Guide | Dec. 8, 2023-Feb. 16, 2024

the best places to live in Alberta. And many more are finding out about the charming, balanced work-life lifestyle it offers. Located just outside the northwest corner of Edmonton, St. Albert has gained its own identity as a medium-sized city with plenty of room for growth, with plenty of amenities – including its own hospital - and where life can be enjoyed at a leisurely pace. With a population hovering around the 73,000 mark, St. Albert is a great option for anyone looking for a family-friendly community with a low crime rate. It has been named the safest city in Alberta with an excellent public education system

and great healthcare facilities. It also has a livelier downtown and nightlife than most Albertan cities of similar size, according to several real estate websites. St. Albert offers well-planned neighbourhoods, exceptional community services, and plenty of opportunities to own a new home. Coventry Homes has been building in the city for several years and is well aware of the charms it offers. “We build in two St. Albert communities- the established community of Riverside which we have been building in for over eight years and the brand-new community of Nouveau,” says Coventry Homes’ Tara Van Horn. “St. Albert offers

Coventry Homes in Riverside

residents an outstanding quality of life where they can enjoy a secure, smalltown feel, without losing access to everything you could need from a major city. St. Albert continues to be voted one of the best cities to live in Alberta.” NEW COMMUNITIES

St. Albert is ripe for new residential development and the new community of Nouveau on its northwest corner is one of a few offering fantastic new home opportunities. Nouveau is a family-oriented community with natural features and features a more urban vibe. Van Horn says it is a neighborhood where residents get the best mix of affordability, green space, and accessibility to major destinations. “It is also the first community in St. Albert to offer zero-lot-line single family home options.” The zero-lot line home is the most affordable single-family home option around as it saves buyers on land cost. “The single-family home built

Coventry Homes in Riverside

on the zero-lot-line lot is the same, but the home is built on the property line on one side, reducing the side yard and cutting the cost of each lot. This allows homeowners to get a single-family home for a similar price to what they would pay for a duplex,” she explains. Nouveau is a neighbourhood with a modern, urban feel that still holds a ton of small-town charm. It will feature a mix of affordable single family laned and front attached garage single family homes, and townhomes in the first stage. ATTAINABILITY WITH STYLE

Coventry Homes opened their zerolot-line Dione showhome in Nouveau earlier this year and it has been a hit. “The home is spacious, modern, bright and airy featuring a colour blocked kitchen, fireplace in the great room, central bonus room on the second floor, two bedrooms at the back of the home and the large master suite with ensuite at the front of the home,” Van Horn says.

St. Albert Botanic Park

Designed with a Nordic inspiration, the home features, sleek modern wood elements paired with modern black and white accents. While this home is a zero-lot-line model, no compromises were made inside – including the custom Nordic inspired Oilers® Fan Cave in the basement! Coventry also builds in Riverside, which has enjoyed tremendous growth in the past eight years that the multi-awarded builder has been building here. “While still one of St. Albert’s newest communities, the area now features a commercial area, playground and access to 145 acres of lush forest, extensive parklands, and walking trails all outside the front door. Riverside also features one of the youngest populations in St. Albert, with an average age of 30.4.” She adds that the community of Riverside offers a variety of different lot sizes allowing Coventry to be able to offer a breadth of models available to be customized to fit our homeowner lifestyle.

HAVEN FOR YOUNG FAMILIES

St. Albert attracts a diverse range of homebuyers due to its unique blend of charm, amenities, and community spirit “In the newer neighbourhoods like Nouveau, we are seeing lots of first-time home buyers who have found that the zero-lot-line options have bridged the gap between multifamily and single-family homes, allowing them to enter the market as a single family home owner,” Van Horn says. “The more established communities, like Riverside, have attracted young families looking to take advantage of the outdoor natural areas, quality schools in the area and the small-town feeling built in these communities.” Between the two communities of Nouveau and Riverside, Coventry Homes is able to offer a wide range of homes to fit the budget of a firsttime home buyer or a small family looking for more space for their growing family. “We encourage our homebuyers to find a lot that works for them and design a home that will fit their lifestyle and budget.”

for walks, picnics and communing with nature. The capital region’s only provincial park, the Lois Hole Centennial Provincial Park, is also right at its doorstep. It is located along the western edge of St. Albert and Edmonton and Big Lake is its defining feature, taking up 59 per cent of the park’s total area. The St. Albert Botanic Park is also a sight to behold. It is a top tourist destination in the city, featuring five acres of beautifully landscaped, themed gardens. The city also has some cultural highlight, not the least of which is the Art Gallery of St. Albert which showcases local and national artists. The Musee Heritage Museum is also a top attraction, featuring exhibits that capture the cultural and historical richness of St. Albert. St. Albert also has a growing reputation as a foodie destination. The blossoming restaurant scene offers plenty of options from nearly every corner of the globe.

St. Albert Botanic Park

While personal preferences may vary, one popular restaurant in St. Albert is Sorrentino’s Restaurant. Known for its delicious Italian cuisine and warm ambiance, it’s a local favorite for both casual and special occasions, Van Horn says. The Cajun House Restaurant has become a local favourite for its Cajun and Creole dining. Authentic specialties not found anywhere else in the greater Edmonton area include jambalaya, crab cakes and specialty gumbos. The Perron District is the heart of St. Albert. This flourishing centre showcases the best of the city through businesses, culture, art and natural surroundings. Head downtown and enjoy the nearly 50 independent shops, cafes and restaurants that this lively district has to offer. Within it is the St. Albert Centre which offers a mix of wellknown retailers and local boutiques. The charming downtown area is also a great place for unique finds and boutique shopping.

ENJOYING NATURE

Nature is ever close at hand in St. Albert, and there are plenty of spots to enjoy lush, green scenery. The Sturgeon River which runs through the heart of St. Albert is a great spot

MOVE IN FASTER WITH QUICK POSSESSION HOMES by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ

Building a new home can require a lot of patience. It can take as long as 10 months (sometimes longer) to move into a pre-sale home, and not everyone has the luxury to wait that long. But there’s an easier way, and that’s by getting into a quick possession home. The quick-possession home - or spec home – is an industry staple that provides buyers on a tight timeline the opportunity to own a new home and helps the builders themselves keep their tradespeople busy with a steady workflow. It’s a win-win. These homes are constructed using builder specifications (hence, “spec”) and most are move-in ready and available for a quick possession. The spec home pool in Edmonton remains healthy and experienced

builders are well prepared for higher demand, relying on veteran leadership, a reliable trade base, and deep pockets for a steady supply of construction materials. Here is how some were able to navigate the choppy waters and have new spec homes ready for buyers that need them. EXCEL HOMES

Excel Homes says the spec home is several crucial steps ahead of a presale home, in that the construction process has already started and saves the buyer valuable time. “Our experienced sales team and designers work together to choose the lot, floorplan, interior finishes, and pre-planned options that fit perfectly together and bring the most value to our customers,” says Excel Homes

marketing Manager, Kristina Plank. “That means the builder can continue the construction process of a home even before it has been purchased, essentially saving time.” She points out that buyers of quick possession homes can move in quicker, even by the Holidays, as everything the home needs is already in place. “It can sometimes be overwhelming for some homeowners to choose their interior selections; therefore, a quick possession home is the perfect solution to simplify the home building process.” Excel currently offers duplex, laned and front garage quick possession homes in Vita Crystallina, Edgemont, Keswick Landing and The Orchards. “One of our quick possessions homes is the Bentley. It’s a

1,555-square-foot duplex home with three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, available for immediate possession. The home includes some of our most popular features like ¾-inch granite countertops, LVP flooring, a modern appliance package and an exterior side entry door.” Find out more at excelhomes.ca. IMPACT HOMES

Impact Homes knows homebuyers don’t have the same timeline, so the multi-awarded builder makes sure to have a healthy spec home inventory. “Quick possession homes are a great option for those who are eager to move in promptly or have time constraints. While the pricing can vary, quick possession homes often come with certain cost advantages compared to presale homes. With a quick possession home, buyers can also potentially save on interim living expenses and mortgage costs that accrue during construction,” says Tara Van Horn, Director, Marketing & Communications at Coventry Homes, and Impact Homes. Impact Homes has a range of quick possession homes in its most popular floorplans, to suit diverse preferences, Van Horn says. “These homes are

currently available in over 11 Greater Edmonton Area neighborhoods, catering to different lifestyles and needs,” she adds. “Quick possession homes can be available as far as 90 days out to allow for homebuyers time to sell their current home or as quick as immediate possession.” One of their current quick possession homes is in the community of SouthPointe in Fort Saskatchewan. This stunning Trireme

model features 1,661 square-feet of living space, 9-foot-high main floor ceilings, main floor laundry, upgraded kitchen cabinets and backsplash tile, second floor central bonus room and a rear master suite. “This home available Immediately, so buyers can enjoy the benefits of a thoughtfully crafted home without the wait,” she adds.

Another positive for quick possession homes is that buyers can actually see the home they will be living in, and not a blueprint that they must visualize. “Some clients also love to see the home they are buying prior to purchasing it,” says Cantiro Etta Fung, Area Sales Manager in The Hills at Charlesworth. “While we have showhomes throughout the city, these showcase select models and interior style packages. Walking through a newly constructed quick possession home can help a buyer understand functionality and how their daily life will flow throughout that home as well as envision how they will furnish the space.” Quick possession homes certainly give an advantage to buyers needing to move in quickly, perhaps due to job relocation, family needs, or other time-sensitive reasons, Fung says, and if the timing is right, buyers can get further incentives. “As we near the end of year, Cantiro is currently offering a special Holiday Cash bonus on select quick possession homes across Edmonton and Sherwood Park. The benefit of this offer is that you will be able to move in before the end of the year and celebrate the holiday season in your brand-new home! Not only that, but you’ll also receive Holiday Cash at possession to spend however you wish, whether that be to offset moving expenses, furnish your new home or escape winter on a tropical

Castlebrook in North Edmonton features singlefamily front drive. Townhomes are in The Hills at Charlesworth, with only a couple remaining in Emerald Hills in Sherwood Park! “New homes are added weekly – check our website (cantiro.ca/homes/ quick-possessions) for currently available quick possession homes,” Fung says.
