MORRISON HOMES
TOP IN THE BUSINESS FOR OVER 60 YEARS
Winning hearts and minds of new home buyers has always been the goal at Morrison Homes, and through constant innovation and exceptional service, the multiawarded builder certainly has become the buyers’ choice in Calgary.
With over 60 years in operation in Alberta, the family-run company is very much a wellknown and trusted name in the local new home industry, and in 2025 they are about embark on a new era of sustainability and affordability that will make the dream home a reality for their customers.
Morrison Homes, a proudly family-owned and operated Canadian company, has been building quality homes since 1961, says Marketing Manager, Max Conrad.
“As a 16-time Calgary Region Builder of the Year, Morrison is recognized for its exceptional craftsmanship and commitment to customer satisfaction. With a wide selection of home models, from duplexes to luxury estate, and access to some of Calgary’s most sought-after communities, Morrison Homes offers unparalleled choice and flexibility,” he tells Calgary New Home + Condo Guide.
TOP IN THE BUSINESS FOR OVER 60 YEARS
For more than six decades, Morrison Homes has been building family-friendly, stylishly affordable homes in Calgary, and for a quarter of that time they have been the city’s Builder of the Year. They won the award for 10 straight years from 2001 to 2010, topped with another back-to-back-to-back wins in the 2020, 2021 and 2022 BILD Calgary Region Awards. Morrison Homes also took home awards for Best Print Marketing, and Best New Home up to $459,000 at this year’s BILD CR Awards.
The Franklin
One way they have consistently ranked high in customer satisfaction is through their comprehensive approach in the design process.
“Through our comprehensive selection studio, homeowners can personalize every detail, from flooring upgrades to energyefficient features, ensuring each home is a true reflection of their lifestyle and preferences.”
Innovative design has always been at the forefront of their business, and this year they are introducing not only more new models that tout versatility and affordability, but also a new path towards sustainability.
SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
Morrison Homes launched its EcoPath initiative, which brings energy-saving, sustainable features in their homes. They unveiled the program in March as they opened
an Ellsworth Net Zero spec home model in the community of Legacy, which was equipped with state-of-the-art features that enable it to produce as much energy as it consumes.
Morrison Homes EcoPath homes can come with such energy-saving features as solar panels, heat recovery ventilators, triple pane window and heat pumps. All designed to provide as much living comfort as energy conservation. EcoPath will be available to all Morrison Homes buyers soon.
The 2,684-square-foot Ellsworth Net Zero home is a front-drive garage home with three-bedrooms and 2.5-baths, it has 36 built-in solar panels, high-efficiency insulation, and electric heat pump. “It is a full Net Zero home that is all powered by electricity,” says Morrison Homes Marketing Manager, Max Conrad.
“It is designed to produce as much energy as it consumes, helping you lower your carbon footprint and your utility bills.” Find out more at Morrisonhomes.ca.

In Sirocco, we’ve recently unveiled 10 brand-new models within our Semi-Attached Front Garage and Luxury Villas lineup, offering exceptional value in one of Southwest Calgary’s most desirable communities.”

New communities are sprouting all over Calgary these days. A casual drive down the ring road will show numerous signs of several upcoming residential neighbourhoods in the periphery.
These new communities are, for the most part, where buyers can find the most affordable new homes, but moving in and living in them may present a bit of an adjustment, especially if one is coming from a more established community.
New communities can sometimes feel empty – no trees, limited nearby commercial establishments nearby – and that is why many of Calgary’s land developers take pains in bringing
by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ
as much in-community amenities as they can in the first phases of the development.
Many, including Qualico Communities and Rohit Communities, have ponds, and playgrounds, and pathways ready for their residents to enjoy as soon as they move in.
Both believe that communities with a sense of connection to nature, a connection between neighbours, a connection to the world around it spell success for all who live in them.
IMPORTANCE OF AMENITIES
According to Nolan Frese, Rohit Communities’ Senior Project Manager for Heartland and
Heartwood, in-community amenities play an important role in today’s residential developments, as it can serve as the cornerstone of a neighborhood’s identity, and provide a look and feel of what ultimately sells.
“For example, in Heartwood we included custom street blades, detailed landscape design, consistent cleanliness, and attention to detail to create that impact. Additionally, agespecific playgrounds designed for both immediate and longterm use, color palettes of playground structures that match the community theme, and the installation of unique spaces not only address what homebuyers
Qualico Communities – Dawson’s Landing
are looking for but also serve as powerful differentiators as buyers are looking for more than just a house, they want a complete lifestyle right in their neighborhood.”
Monica Bilyk, Marketing Manager at Qualico Communities Calgary agrees. “In-community amenities enhance desirability, add value, improve satisfaction, and contribute to the overall success of a development. They can set a community apart from the others and be key selling features used to attract buyers. They can also enhance the quality of life for its residents and promote community building. Today’s buyers live busy lifestyles and appreciate having things closer to home,” she points out.
FOSTERING NEIGHBOURLINESS
In-community amenities provide shared experiences for neighbours and are, in fact, crucial in fostering tighter bonds within the community.
“Parks, playgrounds, pathways, and sports courts are great amenities to have in a community as they encourage active lifestyles and social interaction,” Bilyk says. “Parks and green spaces provide gathering spaces for families and also help beautify the community, allowing residents to enjoy their time outdoors that much more.”
Frese adds that gathering spaces in the community foster social connections, where neighbors get to know each other. “Activity-based areas—including playgrounds, sports courts, and open greenspaces encourage healthy lifestyles and shared interests. In Heartland, we love seeing the Heartland Community Association hosting their various events in our parks to bring neighbors together.”
LIFE IN A NEW COMMUNITY
When purchasing a home in a new community, there are several
things prospective buyers should keep in mind. Living in a new community does sometimes come with temporary inconveniences like construction noise, traffic, and dust. The lack of trees in new communities is also often cited as a drawback, but many of these concerns are ultimately temporary inconveniences that are resolved in time. Commercial amenities are usually limited in these young neighbourhoods too.
“Qualico Communities works hard to mitigate constructionrelated inconveniences by providing weekly street cleaning in the Spring, Summer, and Fall months, using water trucks to keep dust down, and ensuring builders adhere to noise bylaws,” Bilyk says.
Frese says Rohit works closely with builder groups to ensure construction sites are kept clean and orderly, with regular street sweeping implemented to minimize construction-related disruption.
Getting a leafy canopy over streets takes a longer time to accomplish, but developers do design their communities to eventually have the tree-lined streets that are characterize suburban living.
“Newly planted trees are typically smaller initially, which is often a municipal requirement,” Bilyk says. “But they mature over time.”
Qualico Communities Calgary plants a variety of tree species on boulevards and medians within
new communities. “We also provide each household with a $500 voucher through our Tree Program. This program allows homeowners the flexibility to beautify their outdoor space to their preference, but also requires that at least one tree be included in the purchase.”
Commercial amenities depend on the land use designation, Frese says, and not every community includes commercial space. “Most commercial development requires substantial residential completion before construction begins. By managing these expectations upfront, Rohit helps buyers understand the development timeline of their community and envision its future state once development is complete.”
QUALICO COMMUNITIES CALGARY
Qualico Communities is one of the biggest developers in Alberta with 12 current developments in the Calgary area alone. The developer has always believed in having amenities already in place in their communities even before the first residents come in. Chief among these are the playgrounds.
In their brand-new community of Southbow Landing in Cochrane, Qualico is taking advantage of the spectacular mountain views for the location of its community playground, a key amenity to prime interest and growth in this young community.
Rohit Communities – Heartland
“Given the community’s connection to nature, our parks/ playgrounds will incorporate a colour scheme that reflects Alberta’s vibrant wildflowers” Bilyk says.
While for Vermillion Hill in Calgary’s southwest, Qualico has incorporated a double hill slide into the changing grade of the site. The playground, which opened in late Fall 2024, also includes bridges, platforms and many climbing features.
The community of Harmony, which Qualico jointly develops with Bordeaux Developments, may be the best example yet of how amenities can shape the identity of the community. It’s 140acre lake is, of course, its most distinguishing feature, but the Adventure Park playground is a big hit with children and parents too. No wonder it has won Calgary Region’s Community of the Year award by the BILD Calgary Region eight times now.
For more information on Qualico’s communities, visit qualicocommunitiescalgary.com
ROHIT COMMUNITIES
Rohit Communities has a long history of developing many of Alberta’s best loved communities and in their latest developments in the Calgary region – Heartland in Cochrane and Heartwood in the southeast - they are making sure that amenities, including
playgrounds, are prioritized as they are essential building blocks for the neighbourhood’s character.
Rohit Division Marketing Manager, Daisy Lieu, says the developer believes playgrounds foster a sense of community, providing a gathering space for families and promotes social
interactions and neighbourly bonding.
“Rohit takes a comprehensive approach to amenity planning by focusing on dedicating appropriate space allocation for various amenities, creating welcoming environments through thoughtful landscaping and design, and looking at demographic studies to determine residents’ needs and preferences,” she says. “For example, in Heartland, we maintain regular communication with the Community Association to better understand what residents need and to keep them informed about our future development plans. In our parks we incorporate shade elements for comfort in outdoor spaces, design for family gatherings, and include specialized amenities like off-leash dog parks.” Get more information on Rohit Communities at rohitgroup.com/ rohit-communities/

SPECTACLE AND SERENITY
MEET IN CANMORE
by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ
“Picturesque” doesn’t even come close in describing the beauty of Canmore. It’s resplendent natural beauty, scenic downtown, and lively culture come through even when it is part of an apocalyptic tale about the end of the world.
Canmore was one of the key locations in Alberta where they filmed the first season of “The Last of Us,” the mega-hit HBO series based on the popular video game about a deadly virus that killed most of humanity. The small town at the gateway to the Rockies just west of Calgary fulfilled its role as the one lone spot where society and a semblance of order continued while the rest of the world fell into madness. It’s true, even in real life.
The cast and crew of “The Last of Us” were most effusive in their praise for the town, its beauty and hospitality. But this is no secret to those who know it best, as Canmore is Calgary’s happy
place. And with more new home opportunities opening, it can be a happily-ever-after place too.
ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH
Canmore has is one of the fastest growing small urban centres in all of Canada. Its population is pegged at 17,200 in 2024, representing a 0.63 percent increase year-over-year, and a stunning 12 per cent rise in the last five years.
The town’s attractiveness is a major draw to new homebuyers and more new home opportunities are springing up and there are several ongoing developments in town, including the new Altitude condos by Logel Homes in Three Sisters Village.
“Canmore is a hidden gem amongst the world of mountain towns, especially when you compare it to heavyweights like Whistler, Jackson Hole, Revelstoke, or pick-your-name
of Colorado or Swiss resort towns,” says Logel Homes Sales & Marketing Director, Reilly LePage.
“Canmore has incredible real estate value on a global level with amazing accessibility from Calgary’s international airport. Lifestyle is the reason people move to Canmore, with world-class golfing, ski resorts, picturesque rivers, mountain biking, hiking, and a great local restaurant and brewery scene with all the charm you’d expect in a mountain town – All next to one of Canada’s greatest National Parks: Banff.”
MOUNTAIN RESORT LIVING
Relaxing mountain resort living is the promise at Logel Homes’ Altitude, which represents a return by the multi-award-winning developer to Canmore. Tim Logel, Logel Homes’ founder, built townhomes in Peaks of Grassi in 1999.
Altitude
Today Altitude brings top quality, affordable multi-family living options in the scenic town at the foot of the Rockies. Logel Homes itself is at the very top of Calgary’s multi-family market, having won BILD Calgary Region Large Volume Multi-Family Builder of the Year for the fifth consecutive time at this year’s gala awards night.
Altitude features 24 townhomes with double garage parking, 215 condos in four buildings, with 14 floorplans and heated underground parking. The 6.8acre lot is surrounded on two side by an environmental reserve and is adjacent to a municipal reserve and playground.
“Our location in Canmore at Three Sisters Mountain Village offers multi-modal bike and walking paths, direct access to a future amenity centre at the Gateway, where, in the future, residents can walk to amazing dining, shopping, and services among stunning 360-degree views of the Rocky Mountains,” LePage says.
“The site is surrounded by forest on three sides and is one of the only areas with a view of the Cascade mountains. People are excited to see market-based affordability with Logel Homes signature quality, customer-service, and thousands of design choices.”
Logel Homes is doing its part to enrich the community, too, as they are building, landscaping and constructing a playground on a half acre plot that was part of
and gifting this to the Town of Canmore.
MOUNTAIN RESORT TOWN
The Town of Canmore is the perfect hub for adventure. A picture-postcard perfect community enveloped by the majesty of the Canadian Rockies. There are trendy boutiques, gourmet dining, eclectic art galleries, 30 + kilometres of pathways, and a diverse population of residents including accomplished mountaineers and Olympic athletes.
Skiing in winter is of course a perennial favourite activity, but hiking, biking and golf in the warmer months are also popular pursuits. Maybe take a selfie at the Canmore Engine Bridge just off Railway Avenue, where a crucial scene in “The Last of Us” was filmed. Canmore, in general, has just about all the most Instagramworthy sceneries around.
Of course, the lively and
dynamic social scene in town has come back to its normal vibrant self from the pandemic years. Incredible views, and the friendliness of the people themselves only added to the heady tonic.
There is just so much to do in town. The Elevation Place recreational centre provides indoor recreational opportunities including wall climbing and swimming. People love to bike on the Legacy Trail to nearby Banff. Local craft breweries are a main attraction, so are local art galleries, and your choice of international-calibre restaurants.
“Many Logel Homes team members and customers love to golf at Stewart Creek and use the multi-modal pathway system that connects directly to our site,” LePage says.
“Canmore has a great restaurant scene, from Crazy Weed, Summit Café, to Sheepdog Brewing or Fergus & Bix downtown. There’s plenty of great hiking and paddleboarding in the Summer from the popular Grassi Lakes to East End of Rundle for the adventurous. Residents can brave hiking Lady McDonald and get spectacular views of their homes being built!”

DAYTONA HOMES:
SHINING BRIGHT IN CALGARY’S NEW HOME MARKET
Daytona Homes continues to make waves in Calgary with its new home designs in more new communities. This Albertabased homebuilder is already achieving milestones and quickly earning a reputation as a reliable, trustworthy homebuilder with an ever growing lineup of stylish, comfortable, and innovative homes.

We are looking to continue our growth in Calgary and continue to establish ourselves as a trusted option for Calgary homebuyers.”
The ease that Daytona has cracked the Calgary market is

Their home designs, in fact, have even caught the eye of the industry, with three of their current showhomes named as finalists at the recent 2024 BILD Calgary Region Awards. Their latest showhome in the lake community of Harmony in Springbank, Silverado II, is making waves, impressing visitors with its third floor loft design, and a completely functional and versatile floorplan throughout. And there’s more to come.

With the homebuyers’ comfort still top of mind, Daytona Homes is offering more single-family options in Cochrane, Springbank and southeast Calgary, including several exceptionally crafted quick-possession homes, demand
for which has surged with the rising number of newcomers flocking to the city.
Daytona Homes currently builds in the communities of Rangeview, and Walden in southeast Calgary; Harmony in Springbank; as well as Southbow Landing and Heartland, both in Cochrane.
Warner says they have been lucky to be building in some of the most forward-looking, wellregarded and award-winning communities. Harmony won Community of the Year – Calgary Region for the seventh time at the 2024 BILDCR Awards, and Daytona is offering front-drive garage homes here for the first time in the latest phase.
“Our newest showhome here is our Silverado II in Harmony featuring a third-storey loft with breathtaking mountain views as well as a main floor wine room, and grand kitchen.”
Rangeview by Section23 also just won the Community of the Year – City of Calgary award at the same gala celebrations. It is Calgary’s first garden-to-table community featuring its own greenhouse where neighbours can grown not just plants but relationships. They offer a range of stylish and affordable front attached garage homes here from the high $600,000s.
Walden is a well-established community also in Calgary’s southeast that is entering its final phase. “And it is a beautiful phase with greenspace and walking paths as well as playgrounds and fields. Very established community, easy access to a ton of amenities that are already built. This is the last chance to own a new home in this community,” he adds. Daytona’s front-drive garage homes here start from the high $600,000s.
Daytona is also excited to offer an extensive selection of homes in Cochrane, one of the fastest growing municipalities in all of Canada, and they have homes available in its two standout communities of Heartland and Southbow Landing. They have move-in ready laned homes
in Heartland from the high $500,000s , and front-drive homes from the high $600,000s.
In Southbow Landing, they have the very-much in demand duplex homes with double attached garage models from the $600,000s, as well as front drive garage homes from $749.000.
MOVE-IN READY HOMES
The move-in ready home has been a specialty at Daytona Homes, allowing their buyers to move in to their dream home without the wait.
Move-in ready homes offer a fantastic opportunity for new homebuyers who are looking
to move quickly without compromising on quality. These homes are already constructed or near completion, eliminating the lengthy wait times typically associated with building a custom home from scratch.
“Move-in ready homes, also called quick possession or spec homes, are always primarily the focus for us here in Calgary. We value putting together a quality home planned by seasoned sales professionals and interior designers choosing options, upgrades, and interior selections to keep up with today’s homebuyers and trends,” Warner says.
Daytona’s 30+ years of experience means their move-in ready homes have been designed with homebuyers lives top-ofmind, Warner says. “As buyer, you’re not sacrificing on buying a quick possession home - you’re getting incredible value and can trust that the home has been designed with your family’s comfort in mind.”
“We feel that especially right now with all of the volatility and uncertainty, it is nice to be able to select a home that has a price guarantee, and plan your life accordingly. Each of our communities has several homes under construction with varying sizes, price points, and timelines so our buyers can find something that works for them.”
He says that they typically have between 5-10 (move-in

ready homes) on the go in each community in various stages of construction to give buyers the widest option for possession timelines.
COMFORT IS PARAMOUNT
Through all this frenetic action, Daytona Homes’ commitment to providing comfort to its buyers remains paramount.
Finding comfort in our lives in is a goal everyone strives towards, but creating comfort through design takes skill and expertise, Warner says. “At Daytona Homes, the goal has always been focused on creating comfort not just in the home but in the entire process of buying and building a home.”
Not only does Daytona put a premium on comfort and style, but on savings as well. They are running the Daytona Days limited time promotion, which includes permanent LED lights included with a new home, $5,000 window blinds credit at Rock Celine Blinds, and more.
“We have longstanding relationships with our trades which allow us to work together with them
through difficult times like the ones we are seeing now,” Warner says.
“We understand that affordability remains the top of peoples minds when looking for a new home. Understanding this, we look to put in the things that really matter on a day to day basis, while not overloading the homes with things that may look great, but add cost and hurt affordability.”
EYES ON THE FUTURE
Warner says Daytona is looking to continue its growth in the Calgary and Cochrane market in 2025. “We have a new showhome opening in Heartland on May 31st, and a new showhome opening in Rangeview in September as well as new phases and lots in almost all of our communities.”
The homebuilder is also verymuch a part of the community they build in. “We will continue to be engaged in the communities and are excited to continue to support groups including the Mustard Seed, Kids Cancer Care, The Distress center, as well as within the communities we are building.”
AWARD-WINNING STYLE, CUSTOMER SERVICE PARAMOUNT AT
LOGEL HOMES
Logel Homes’ star is shining brighter than ever, as the developer won it’s fifth consecutive Large Volume Multi-Family Builder of the Year trophy at this year’s BILD Calgary Region Awards.
This is just the latest cherry on top of their cake, as Logel Homes has garnered a roomful of industry awards. Just at the 2024 BILD CR Award, Logel Homes was a finalist in 14 award categories, winning eight in total, including Sales Team of the Year at Sage Walk and Large Volume Multi-Family Builder of the Year.
“This Multi-Family Builder of the Year award is a big win for our customers,” says Logel Homes President, Brayden Logel. “The awards mean the hard work and dedication of our team have come to fruition. All of which leads back to listening to our customers, innovating based on their needs and wants, and then implementing
and taking care of them through the purchase process to postmove-in, always with the goal of exceeding their expectations.”
The origins of Logel Homes can be traced back to 1978 when Logel Homes founder, Tim Logel started in the real estate and housing business. Now, Logel Homes is recognized as Calgary’s leader in multi-family housing and awards. “The journey started with a vision to exceed customers expectations with quality homes, amenity rich locations, and exceptional customer experiences.” And with his sons, Brayden and Kevin, playing critical roles in the leadership team, the company is poised to grow even more.
“After 45 years in the housing business, having a consistent focus on exceeding customers’ expectations remains a top goal,” Tim says. All this experience was brought to bear on all their
developments starting with their inaugural development of Auburn Rise.
MORE ACCOLADES
The hallmark of Logel Homes’ success has always been in customer service. They have won Best Customer Experience (Calgary Region, Large Volume Multi-Family) ) at the Home Owner Mark of Excellence (H.O.M.E) Awards nine times.
The H.O.M.E. Award is an independent certification program created by CustomerInsightTM and based solely on the voice of the customer. All scores and ratings are taken from surveys of homeowners.
They have also achieved 4.9 Google Rating in Calgary homebuilding, which is a truly rare feat. “We’re proud that our customers have had such great experiences that we’ve been
rewarded with a 4.9 -Star Google Rating based on 245 reviews (April 2025) - The highest rating in Calgary,” Brayden Logel says.
“Right from our homeowners, they’ve shared valuable feedback on their experience, from the efforts of our Sales team, to our Completion Specialists, to well passed a year working with our Customer Care team. This is the result of our passionate team delivering the best customer experience possible.”
Of particular note in their BILD CR Awards win this year is taking home the Best Sales Team award for their Sage Walk team.
Sage Walk has been a special development due to the breadth

“We couldn’t be prouder of our Sales Team, led by Brad Logel (McKenna Palamar, Jackie Truong, Ashley Main, Christine Hung) –This win takes years to build up to, in large part due to customer referrals!” says Logel Homes Sales & Marketing Director, Reilly LePage.
“It should also be noted that Seton West placed second, and Waterside placed third in this category, so we took the Top 3 spots in the region!” he adds.
MORE TO COME
Since Logel Homes inception, they’ve completed over 5,500 homes across more than 20 developments and are currently constructing nine developments in Calgary and even on in Canmore. They have since gone on the complete several condo and townhome developments, and they currently are actively developing nine more in all sectors of Calgary and even one in Canmore (see related story on page 24).
In the northwest, they have four ongoing developments in Sage Walk alone, and two more in Livingston. Waterside at Mahogany and Seton West Phase 2 brings new multi-family opportunities in the southeast, as well as in the nearly sold-out Silverton Street Towns. Altitude in Three Sisters marks their return to the booming Canmore market after building townhomes at the Peaks of Grassi in 1999.
“The most exciting news we have is seven new show suites opening in Waterside at Mahogany on its Grand Opening, May 3rd,” LePage says.
“We’re also launching our second building at Altitude at Three Sisters Mountain Village this spring. Livingston Central also launches May 2025 in a great, walkable location, close to future shopping and retail in another amazing Brookfield Residential community .”

TOWNHOMES PRESENT AN EASY PATH TO HOMEOWNERSHIP IN CALGARY
by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ
A townhome is a lot of things for a lot of people, but its inherent affordability is what makes it one of the hottest selling multi-family homes today. Now, more versatile, multifunctional townhome models are available in some of the newest communities in and around Calgary making them even more accessible to new home buyers in the market.
Townhome buyers love the fact that they can get a two- or threebedroom (increasingly, even four bedrooms) home for a lower price than is typical for a duplex or laned home, with the extra advantage of a low-maintenance lifestyle. Some also come with attached garages
and developable basements, which add to their allure. The fact that they are available in traditional or no-condo fee versions also helps in the buyers’ decision making.
We spoke to a couple of Calgary’s top townhome developers to get their insights on the enduring popularity of this multi-family housing type, and why it might be the right-size home for you.
WHY BUY A TOWNHOME
Townhomes come in all shapes and forms. Some are perfect for the first-time homebuyer looking for an affordable way to get into the market, there are also townhomes designed to fit the downsizer crowd with all the elegance and luxury they have been accustomed to. Young families are also increasingly seeing the benefits of townhome living.
Scott Clarke, Trico Homes Area Manager at the new Chelsea Court Townhomes in Chestermere says the time is right to buy a townhome today, especially for buyers wanting to get into the market.
“Particularly in Calgary/ Chestermere, real estate values are climbing and many people are looking for that first step into homeownership. With townhomes you get most of the benefits of a single-family home with a care-free lifestyle where you only need to be concerned with the interior of the home and we’ll take care of the exterior.”
While Trico Homes more upscale West83 townhomes are perfect for the snowbird that likes to travel.
“We offer a lock-and-leave lifestyle with large floorplans of up to 1,800 square-feet,” says West83 Area Manager, Adam Zymirski.
Minto Group Senior Marketing Manager, Anu Henke, says the wide variety of townhomes to choose from makes it even an easier decision for many,
“The market provides a wide variety of townhome options, from condo townhomes to freehold homes, urban-style stacked towns to those with attached garages— giving buyers the flexibility to find a home that suits their needs.”
She adds that modern townhomes foster a strong
Minto Group
sense of community and often provide a more attainable path to homeownership.
WHAT TO CONSIDER
With a wide range of townhomes available today, the first step is to determine what best fits your lifestyle, Henke says. “Do you prefer a low-maintenance home with shared amenities, or do you want autonomy over your property and yard? Condo-style townhomes provide communal benefits, while freehold options offer greater independence.”
Location, access, and amenities are always key considerations when choosing a home, she adds. “At Minto, our customerfirst approach sets us apart. As both the developer and builder of our communities, we ensure thoughtful planning and execution to create well-designed neighbourhoods. Our dedication to exceptional customer service has earned us the prestigious Avid Award for three consecutive years, recognizing the highest customer ratings among Alberta builders.”
“When buyers are considering townhomes, they will need to consider whether the features of a development will work for them and their family’s lifestyle and should focus on quality,” Clarke
says. “There are many things that go into the building of a home, foremost is trust in the builder’s reputation, which Trico certainly has earned.”
Zymirski agrees. “We’re proud to say that Trico is the highest rated builder online through Homestar Reviews. We’ve earned these reviews by living out our philosophy and providing the absolute best customer service that the industry has to offer.”
Trico is also Western Canada’s only Certified B Corp homebuilder, he adds. “We’re dedicated to balancing purpose & profit & using business as a force for good, and adhere to our corporate philosophy of ‘Doing Well, By Doing Good.’”
NEW AND UPCOMING OPTIONS
New townhome developments are available in many of Calgary’s newest communities. Trico Homes is currently selling three townhome projects: Colours of Seton in the southeast, Chelsea Court Townhomes in Chestermere, and West83 Townhomes in the southwest.
“We also have a few new townhome projects starting this year Verona West NW Calgary, Stillwater Estates in Harmony, Springbank and Vantage Rise
in Airdrie,” says Trico Homes Marketing Director Glenda Schwartz.
While the Minto Group just launched a new phase in its East Hills Crossing development along Calgary’s eastern border.
East Hills Crossing offers a diverse selection of townhomes designed for various lifestyles, Henke says. “The community includes traditional rear-drive townhomes, freehold townhomes with single and double frontattached garages, and newly introduced urban-style stacked townhomes—offering unmatched value in East Calgary, starting in the $360s (+GST).”
In neighbouring Belvedere Rise, Minto features back-to-back townhomes with drive-under garages, private balconies, and quick possession options starting in the $420s (+GST).
TRICO HOMES
Clarke says Chelsea Court is a perfect option for first-time buyers looking to enter the market. “Starting the journey with a townhome is a nice way to ease into home ownership. We tend to offer lower pricing and a simpler maintenance journey. Our buyers lover the convenience of living in a townhome development.”
Trico Homes West83
Chelsea Court offers row townhomes with tandem double garages, with two- and threebedroom homes that includes many options for personalization including entry level flex room. With prices starting in the $430,000’s, it is quite an affordable deal, Clarke says.
“In Chelsea Court, we offer row townhomes with tandem double garages. We offer affordable 2 & 3 bedroom homes with attached single or tandem garages, with many options for personalization including entry level flex room.”
West83 has been a big hit for Trico Homes, as the first 75-townhome phase is all but sold out, and phase 2 – with another 75 homes – is also going quick.
“Our vision for West83 sets a new standard on the west end: it’s an effortlessly cool, timeless style that will ensure sophistication and livability for years to come,” Zymirski says.
The Oakwood – End Unit is particularly selling well, as the 1,796 square-foot, three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath, double car garage model checks off plenty of boxes for the predominantly downsizer buyer. Go to tricohomes.com for more.
MINTO GROUP
The Ontario-based developer is fast making a name for itself in Calgary. Their townhomes have been particularly well-received.
“We currently have three townhome developments in the Calgary area, with more on the way,” Henke says.
• East Hills Crossing – offers freehold, traditional, and urbanstyle stacked townhomes. One showhome open, two more opening next year.
• Belvedere Rise – Featuring back-to-back quick possession townhomes. Move-in-ready homes available for tours.
• Grove Townhomes in Wildflower (Airdrie) – Featuring a range of three- and four-bedroom floorplans. Showhomes are opening this summer.
Henke says the TH8 model at East Hills Crossing is a standout choice for families seeking an alternative to single-family homes. Spanning over 1,500 square feet, this thoughtfully designed townhome includes an attached front-drive double garage, three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a main-level half bath.
Upstairs, buyers will find convenient side-by-side laundry, while the basement level offers untapped potential—features rarely found in townhomes.
“This plan truly meets the needs of growing families and homebuyers alike,” she adds. Find out more at minto.com.
