NEW SHOWHOMES

PEPPER RODRIGUEZ

EDITOR New Home + Condo Guide

Like the blossoming of new life in spring, the new showhomes that come out around this time in Edmonton are full of life and lifestyle, and we at Edmonton New Home + Condo Guide always strive to bring our readers the best and latest.

Like the new Nysa showhome by Coventry Homes that graces our cover this month! The family-friendly model has always been popular since it was introduced in 2017, but the latest showhome in the dynamic northeast community of Marquis is an absolute stunner that recreates the feeling of staying at a boutique hotel at home. Don’t forget to check out the chic basement development that fulfills the vast potential of the home.

Showhomes are the best tool for builders to attract buyers, but those looking to build their first new home– especially in this hot market –might need a little more convincing. We get the insights from some of Edmonton’s best builders to let these buyers know what’s available for them out there.

We also have the finalists for the Canadian Home Builders’ AssociationEdmonton Region’s Awards of Excellence in Housing, and we will be there at the gala awards night to tell you who the winners are. But the simple fact is that the buyers are always the winner at this awards shows, which is a great indicator of which home can ultimately fit their lifestyle.

This month, we also got to explore the city of Fort Saskatchewan and though the grazing sheep that it is known for and the bucolic countryside surrounding it, there is a vibrant current of growth running through it, exemplified by communities like Southpointe where Akash Homes has all but sold out.

The year looks to be a busy one, so if you’re in the market for a new home, follow us on Instagram and Facebook as we cover the newest communities and showhomes to guide you on your homebuying journey.

NEW NYSA SHOWHOME

WOWS IN MARQUIS

From starter home to estate home, Coventry Homes has the needs of Edmonton’s new homebuyers covered. But their focus on craftsmanship and quality goes to another level with their latest Nysa model.

This recently opened Nysa showhome in the dynamic community of Marquis in the northeast is already gaining lots of buzz and it’s easy to see why.

The Marquis Nysa showhome opened mid last year and clients have loved the luxurious yet welcoming feel of the home, says Tara Van Horn, Coventry Homes’ Director, Marketing & Communications.

“The expansive windows at the back of the home look out over a treed ravine and makes the home bright and airy. The luxurious ensuite always gets a lot of positive feedback

for its oversized fully tiled shower and beautiful free-standing tub and custom dual vanity.”

The Nysa has consistently been one of Coventry Homes’ most popular models, its ingenious use of space, contemporary style, and familyfriendly vibe has made it a client favourite since it was introduced in 2017, she adds.

“In 2018, we opened our first Nysa showhome and since then, we have had at least one Nysa showhome open in the Greater Edmonton Area.”

The new Nysa showhome in the community of Marquis in northeast Edmonton by far is the most luxurious model yet, Van Horn says, as it features Coventry’s “Elevated Luxury” design that gives it the look and feel of a boutique hotel.

The 2,155-square-foot, two-storey, front-drive-garage stunner has four-

bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths – and every conceivable amenity that would make family life not just easier but stylish, as well.

From the moment you step inside, you are greeted with custom wall moulding in the foyer, which is echoed in the dining nook, setting the tone for the rest of the home. A fireplace with a custom surround creates a cozy and welcoming feeling for the entire home, and a main floor den gives the homeowners the flexibility to use it as a quiet retreat or a home office. And of course, the gleaming, custom kitchen with all the bells and whistles a chef could ask for will inspire anyone to work on their culinary skills.

On the second floor, a bonus room awaits, along with two bedrooms located at the front of the home. The primary suite is situated at the back

of the home and has all the makings of a hotel suite – luxurious textiles in the bedroom and an awe-inspiring ensuite with fully tiled shower, floating vanity with mirrors to the ceiling and a freestanding tub.

“The Nysa showhome is sure to impress and inspire those looking for a luxury home that offers both elevated style and functionality,” Van Horn says. “Our focus on the smallest details elevates the look

and feel of the Nysa. Intricate and luxurious details are expertly placed in the home.”

What sets Coventry Homes apart is its unerring focus on the customer experience in buying a home.

“All of our floorplans are flexible, so think of them as a starting point. You will also choose a specification package tailored to meet your needs and budget. Our Pinnacle plans offer the highest level of fit and finish, while our Prestige level plans offer a more cost-conscious approach to building your new home,” Van Horn states.

The Nysa is no different. Options can include a private side entrance and a developed basement, both work hand in hand to realize the full potential of the home. The side entrance makes it appealing to rent out a developed basement to help pay down the mortgage, or as extra living space for extended family or guests.

The Nysa showhome displays this luxury expertly, as the 790 squarefoot fully developed basement is the perfect place for entertaining. The family room is elegantly separated

from the bar and lounge by a modern 2-way fireplace. A bedroom and full bathroom complete the basement –the perfect private retreat for guests.

“The Nysa model can feature a side entrance and many of our Quick Possessions of this model do,” Van Horn says. “The Nysa can also be built on a zero-lot line lot that makes it more affordable while retaining its style and functionality.”

Perhaps its greatest quality is its location in the new community of Marquis in the northeast.

“Marquis is a stunning new community in Northeast Edmonton,” Van Horn says. “Beautiful natural surroundings and the neighbouring North Saskatchewan River will serve as the backdrop for your dream home. And, when you need to venture elsewhere in the city, the Anthony Henday is just minutes away.”

Additionally, Marquis – developed by Qualico Communities Edmonton- is home to the first Yalp Memo playground in Western Canada. “The Yalp Memo is an interactive play structure with seven columns that are equipped with sound and 360-degree LED touch screens that produce arcade-like visual effects – allowing users to play multiple games that exercise both body and mind,” Van Horn says. “The playground includes a tower, slides, swings, a sensory wall, monkey bars, and a merry go round that generates light and sound. There is also a toddler park for little ones to enjoy!”

All these makes the Nysa even more attractive to families and Coventry Homes’ design expertise and customer service focus makes it all the more appealing.

FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYER TIPS FOR

EDMONTON

by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ

Life is full of firsts. First car, first love, first job. Each first can be filled with thrills and trepidation, but as we grow into adulthood, the first that occupies most minds is buying the first home.

Buying the first home can be filled with anxiety – specially building a new first home - the prospect is scary at first, but often, it’s just a matter of getting through with it. Unlike any other firsts in life, this

one may have higher stakes, but the reward is life changing.

There is a growing number of first-time homebuyers in Alberta today, attracted by the province’s strengthening economy and comparative affordability of homes.

Edmonton in particular offers affordable housing and has a relatively low cost of living compared to other major Canadian cities, making it a

hotspot for new homes for people of all income levels. Also, its diverse and multicultural population makes it an obvious landing spot for everyone looking to start fresh.

So, whether it’s a local buyer trying to get out of the rental cycle, or someone entirely new to the city looking to own a home for the first time, here’s some advice from new home industry experts who know the market best.

WHY BUY NOW?

Tara Van Horn, Director, Marketing & Communications at Coventry Homes says first-time homebuyers should expect a dynamic and “somewhat competitive” market this year. “Realistic expectations should be set regarding the time frame for finding a suitable property, securing financing, and completing the transaction. Patience and flexibility are essential virtues as the homebuying journey may involve multiple stages and unforeseen challenges.”

Affordability is always the main concern for many first-time homebuyers, the question of finances and having enough to actually build and live in a new home will always be the toughest hurdle in any homebuying decision.

Max Conrad, Marketing Manager at Morrison Homes, advises that it’s aways a good time to buy a new home, but getting the finances in order is important.

“It’s always a good time to get into the market if you are able. You can start building equity on your

Coventry Homes

Morrison Homes

Excel Homes

new home rather than paying rent,” he says. “Ensuring you have your mortgage approval ready and have started working with an Area Sales Manager on your community and model of choice, so when a home becomes available, you’re able to move forward on your dream home.”

Edmonton makes it easy for first-time homebuyers to find their dream home as there is a wealth of options to choose from. The new communities sprouting in and around the region offer a variety of starter homes – from apartment condos, townhomes, and singlefamily duplex and laned homes - giving everyone a chance to find the appropriate home for to fit their lifestyle and budget.

“Between our no condo fee townhomes and new Nova single family model, we have homes for most first-time home buyer budgets, in 4 great communities around Edmonton,” Conrad adds.

RIGHT TIMING

But Van Horn still thinks buying a new first home this year is advantageous. “Despite fluctuations in the real estate market elsewhere, Edmonton has maintained a relatively stable housing market, characterized by steady demand and reasonable price appreciation,” she says.

She notes that city’s diverse economy and employment opportunities further contribute to its attractiveness for first-time buyers, as job stability is a crucial factor in homeownership decisions.

Excel Homes’ Marketing Manager, Kristina Plank, agrees. “It is a great year for first-time new home buyers to get into the market, as interest rates are expected to stabilize, providing more peace of mind. With high migration rates to Edmonton from other provinces, the home prices in the city are expected to increase later this year, making now the best time to buy.”

WHY BUY NEW

There are plenty of reasons to start your homeowning adventure in a new-built home. “Investing in a new-build offers several distinct advantages, including the opportunity to customize the home according to personal preferences and lifestyle needs,” Van Horn says.

“From selecting finishes and fixtures to modifying floor plans, buyers have the flexibility to tailor the home to their liking, creating a personalized living space from the ground up.”

She also notes that quick possession homes offer great advantages too. “Quick possession homes, while offering expedited occupancy, still retain many of the benefits associated with new-build

properties. Buyers who opt for quick possession homes benefit from the convenience of a shorter wait time, but they also come with the assurance of modern construction standards and warranties, providing buyers with peace of mind regarding the quality and longevity of their investment.”

THE FIRST-TIMER’S PERFECT HOME

Edmonton’s new homebuilders cater to the tastes and budgets of first-time homebuyers. Affordability is key, so there are single-family homes on zero-lot lines that offers considerable savings on land costs. Choosing a multi-family home like townhomes (both no condo fee and those with condo fees are widely available) can be more budget-friendly. There are also plenty of models that can suit the first-timers lifestyle better.

“Affordability is always a key consideration when buying a new home, our townhomes and laned homes, which are perfect for the first-time home buyer remain our most popular options,” Conrad says. “Not only do these home types offer a considerable amount of space, they often allow for basement suite developments with side entries.”

Morrison Homes’ townhomes in Riverside and Tonewood are, in fact, move-in ready with landscaping, double garage, and fencing all included with no condo fees, presenting terrific opportunities for those on a budget and a tight timeline.

Excel Homes also says their duplex homes are very much preferred by first-time homebuyers. “Our most popular models amongst the first-time home buyers are our duplex homes, the Emerson and the Bentley,” Plank says. “They were designed from years of feedback from our customers and specifically to accommodate their needs for a more functional and affordable home. Both duplex models are spacious and versatile, offering many options for personalization like adding a basement suite.”

Coventry’s quick possession homes are very popular among first time buyers. “First time home buyers often gravitate to our Quick Possession options specifically homes under 2,000 square-feet, like our Skye and Eos models,” Van Horn says. “These models are often scaled down

Excel Homes

versions of our larger homes that offer just as much function and style, with a smaller footprint resulting in a more entry price point.”

THE IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNITY

Choosing the right community is an integral part of the search, and Plank

Homes

says Excel Homes’ ability to build in some of Edmonton’s most popular and prestigious communities gives them an edge.

“Excel Homes currently builds in The Orchards, Vita Crystallina, Edgemont, and Keswick Landing. First-time home buyers should determine what is most important to their lifestyle such as recreation centers, schools, parks or outdoor spaces. Other things to consider when choosing a community is the proximity to nearby amenities and stores, as well as the commute time to work,” Plank says.

Morrison Homes’ Conrad agrees that choosing the right community can never be understated. “Every community Morrison offers homes in are amazing! We spend a considerable amount of time when selecting which communities to build in, considering parks, schools, walkable amenities and much more. Where you buy is going to be based on many factors, like where you work, or where your family is, so it’s important to consider those factors when selecting your new community.”

Morrison Homes’ newest community in Edmonton, Marquis West, is nestled in the northeast river valley, and minutes from all amenities in the city, with Anthony Henday, Northeast River Valley Park, Manning Drive, and shopping all within minutes of your front door.

Van Horn says Coventry builds in over 18 communities in Edmonton and surrounding areas, giving everyone the opportunity to find one of their homes that can fit any lifestyle needs.

“Each of these communities offers homeowners different features- from access to parks and greenspace, to amenity lots backing ponds, to quick access to main routes like the Anthony Henday. New homeowners should take into consideration the stage of life they are in and what features of a community would fit their lifestyle,” Van Horn says.

YEAR-ROUND FUN AT THE FORT

by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ

“May The Fort be with you,” or “The Fort is strong in this one.” You can crack all the Star Wars quips about Fort Saskatchewan, but this lively, fun-loving prairie town just northeast of Edmonton is a world of its own, and one of the best places to call home in whatever galaxy.

Founded on the banks of the North Saskatchewan River from where this growing city derives its name, The Fort – as it is lovingly called today – is home to more than 28,000 people. It is a vibrant economic and cultural hub located in Treaty 6 Territory and Métis Nation of Alberta Region 4, just 15 minutes northeast of Edmonton.

If you can imagine growing up in a riverside town, with all the endless recreational activities it offers, then you have a good idea what life in Fort Saskatchewan is like.

Like many of the communities ringing Edmonton, Fort Saskatchewan is attracting many new homebuyers because of the relative affordability of homes here. Its small-town nature, and growing list of big city amenities are also a big part of why many are choosing to call this growing city home.

According to provincial statistics, Fort Saskatchewan had a population of 28,045 in 2022, the 17th highest in the province. It adds that the population of Fort Saskatchewan increased 1.43 percent yearover-year and increased 8.39 percent in the last five years.

Despite the growth, there is a quaint, relaxed lifestyle that can be found here, but there is also an electric liveliness that residents also get to enjoy. The historic Shell Theatre

in the downtown provides the setting for exciting live performances, the thriving Chamber of Commerce Farmers’ Market in the summer months attracts visitors from far and wide, and the Fort Heritage Precinct celebrates the pioneer city’s distinct culture and history. Progress is evident everywhere in the city, most especially in the new communities that are being developed providing a wide array of housing options. Qualico Communities Edmonton are developing Forest Ridge and Sienna, while Landrex offer Windsor Pointe and WestPark. A big part of that growth can be seen in the dynamic community of SouthPointe by MLC Group. Located on the southeast part of the city, Southpointe has been in development for the past 20 years

Southpointe

and continues to grow with two brand new phases released this year.

SouthPointe, in fact, offers some of the most diverse new home opportunities in the city including townhomes, and front and rear drive single family homes. It has been very busy though, and one of the builders here, Akash Homes, says they are all but sold out in that community.

“We just have one unit left which we’re hoping to turn over here in the coming weeks,” Akash Homes Sales Manager, Jacq Lakusta tells Edmonton New Home + Condo Guide.

“With spring on the horizon, there’s urgency in the current market and these outlier areas of the Edmonton are going to look more attractive to buyers as pricing tends to be a bit lower outside the big city,” she adds.

“That said, we are now selling duplexes over in Forest Ridge of Westpark, so we’ll be heavily focusing efforts there to round out that part of the Fort!”

But why will people want to live in Fort Saskatchewan? Well, for one thing, there is no shortage of amenities, including boutique shops, delicious diners and various points of interests that make it a great place to live.

It is indeed a four-season outdoor fun city and in the deepest of winter offers some of the most active lifestyle opportunities around. Fort Saskatchewan’s river valley trail system spans 19 kilometres and includes hard trails perfect for cycling, walking, or jogging.

Fort Saskatchewan has a further 14 kilometres of cross-country ski

trails groomed and track-set along the River Valley. It is operated by the non-profit Fort Saskatchewan Nordic Ski Club and includes classic tracks and skating lanes, groomed and track-set on City property by club volunteers using club equipment.

The FSNSC says it is more than just a ski club and offers a range of activities throughout the year, including skiing, biking, hiking, adult fitness, potlucks, and more.

In the warmer months, those who call The Fort home go exploring the North Saskatchewan River Valley that runs through the west side of town. The river valley is a major source of pride in the community, and the City website says that a 2017 survey of more than 2,300 residents reveals that the river valley trails ranked second as what part of Fort Saskatchewan respondents were most proud of. A close-knit, friendly community was first!

Fort Saskatchewan has also gained renown for the flock of sheep they use to keep the grass trim for more than 30 years. From June to September,

the sheep are busy mowing the grass around the Fort Heritage Precinct.

At the heart of Fort Saskatchewan’s recreation and culture is the Dow Centennial Centre (DCC), a multiuse facility that includes an ice arena, gymnasium, fieldhouse, indoor track, and fitness centre. The facility, which opened in September 2004, also features a 550-seat performing arts theatre, a permanent art gallery with monthly shows, a banquet hall, and the local Pottery Guild.

The city also has two other indoor ice arenas the Jubilee Recreation Centre and the Sportsplex that are used during the winter months by hockey, ringette, and figure skating associations. In the summer months, the lacrosse association uses them. Fort Saskatchewan also has the Harbour Pool, which is an indoor swimming pool that includes a hot tub, sauna and slide.

Over 30 kilometres of paved trails meander through the city’s dozen parks, including Legacy Park, which is the city’s main gathering place and hosts festivals in the summer.
