EDITOR’S NOTE

IN LOVE WITH

FALL

Autumn in Calgary this year just keeps getting better and better.

Days are breezy and warm, skies are an impeccable blue, and the turning foliage gives the city a romantic “When Harry Met Sally” vibe. The new home market is similarly a blush with new energy, as we recount the numerous builder-led events this month in my Inside Calgary column.

But we begin with Bri-mor Developments’ latest endeavor, Encore at West Grove Estates, the latest phase in their remarkable community of West Grove Estates in the southwest. This will be the second time this year that Bri-mor has graced the cover of our magazine in back-to-back months, but when you have a community as unique as they have in West Grove Estates’ The Rise and now Encore it’s just natural to be proud of it.

They’re not the only ones, of course, just check out our stillgrowing list of property profiles this month. We spotlight such trusted builders and developers as APEX, La Vita Land, Homes by Avi and Vesta Properties. Coincidentally, all but one of them chose to talk about their Cochrane homes and communities.

We also continue Part 2 of our in-depth look at Calgary’s modern villages, turning our eyes this time to the remarkable community of Seton in the southeast and the up-and-coming Trinity Hills in the northwest. We also get to talk about the design centres and how homebuilders have outfitted them to better serve their customers in the time of the pandemic.

This fall has certainly been better than expected in every way – no snow on the ground yet this close to Halloween – let’s hope it continues. See you at the show homes.

Cedarglen Homes’ new show home

EncorE offers a ready-made lifEstylE The southwest has always been the preferred sector for building family homes, but it is not exactly the most affordable. Enter: Encore West Grove Estates - now more homebuyers will be able to enjoy the life that so many have already found in this one-of-a-kind neighbourhood.

8 New Home + Condo Guide | Oct. 16–Nov. 13, 2020

Sales start in October at Encore West Grove Estates, the latest in Bri-mor Development’s string of successful communities in West Calgary, and signs are very encouraging that the renowned developer has another hit in its hands.

“Feedback has been great so

far,” says Bri-mor Developments Managing Director, Aleem Dhanani. “West Calgary, and West Grove Estates in particular, is an aspirational area and by using a more efficient layout of our lots we have been able to create an even greater value proposition for homeowners, without

sacrificing the size of home or lifestyle value.”

Encore is the continuation of Bri-mor’s successful West Grove Estates development that also includes The Rise at West Grove Estates. These communities just off 85th St. and Bow Trail have become the standard for a balanced lifestyle in the southwest with their offerings of upscale homes in an amenity-rich setting.

Encore West Grove Estates brings affordability to the mix.

“West Grove Estates and the Rise at West Grove Estates were both well received by the market and, to respond to this demand, we have now released 64 lots as part of Encore West Grove Estates,” Dhanani says.

“We anticipate similar success in Encore as the market has been indicating that there is a lot of demand for quality efficient homes in this neighbourhood. With the success of West Grove Estates and The Rise, a homeowner at Encore will join a fully built out community with over seven acres of greenspace, as well as access to family and lifestyle amenities within a few minutes’ drive away,” he adds.

These include at least nine

private and charter schools in the immediate area along with 12 public schools; the Westside Recreation Centre, soccer fields and numerous other sports facilities; and a mere two-minute drive to access over 250,000 square-feet of retail amenities along the 85th Street corridor.

Residents in The Rise and West Grove Estates know first-hand the lifestyle benefits of living here brings, and response was instantaneous when word went out that pre-sales are starting at Encore.

Kesa and Darren, current Rise residents, say they couldn’t be

more happier with their decision to build here.

“We have a growing family and wanted to be in a community that was family-oriented with great schools. It’s rare that you can find a new development in such a great location within the city. We like the greenspace and that there are pathways within the community connecting neighbouring areas.

Having groceries and schools right in the community is wonderful!”

Dhanani says potential homeowners have already registered to have first picks at the lots upon commencing the sales program in October.

Cedarglen Homes is the exclusive builder in Encore West Grove Estates. The award-winning builder has been building in The Rise West Grove Estates since 2017 and they are eager to continue the partnership with Bri-mor in Encore.

Cedarglen President Howard Tse says they are excited to build on their success at The Rise and continue to offer an opportunity to build in West Calgary at a great price point. “In the past few years, we have welcomed over 100 different families into their new homes here, and it is officially time to open the next chapter.”

Cedarglen is offering some of their best-selling models, including bungalows and three-storey homes, on 32 and 34-foot wide lots.

“Encore offers the market something that the southwest has never seen,” says Kimberley Holstein, area manager for Cedarglen Homes in Encore. “Smarter, more efficient homes at an unbelievably affordable price.”

With a starting price of $650,000 including GST, there is nowhere in West Calgary that

a family can enjoy the benefits of a new community, estate inspired architectural controls and incredible amenities as soon as they move in, Dhanani says.

“A key strength of West Grove Estates has been its strict architectural controls which help maintain and preserve value,” Dhanani says. “We have worked to maintain the same inspiration as the previous phases. With Encore we have approved two new home styles allowing for homeowners to express themselves through modern styling while still tying visually to the estate architectural

components in West Grove Estates and the Rise.”

Home designs are squarely focused to reflect “the family” unit, Dhanani points out. Homes are designed to create a fully functional lifestyle and can cater to the needs of children, parents, grandparents, extended family and friends. And this is Cedarglen’s specialty.

The new Cedarglen Homes show home at The Rise reflect these sensibilities. The three-story double garage home The Huxley 3ST 26 is made for comfort and style in equal measure. It has three bedrooms and three-anda-half baths, and the unique third storey loft provides an innovative lifestyle space that can be used to accommodate more space for family or home office requirements.

Holstein says the loft provides flexibility in the home design. “It can be used as a home office, a lifestyle room, or for your teenage kid’s private space.” She adds that lots in The Encore will be able to accommodate many of Cedarglen’s single-family models which includes their three-storey homes.

Visit the show home at 7124 11 Ave. S.W. to learn more of what Cedarglen Homes has to offer at Encore West Grove Estates.

by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ

AMBLETON

What’s Happening Qualico Communities Calgary broke ground for its newest community: Ambleton! The community’s initial 160 acres in northwest Calgary will have 1,300 new homes and represents a cool half billion dollars

in investment says, Qualico Vice-President Claudio Palumbo during the ground breaking event that collected Ambleton’s builder group: Broadview Homes, Jayman BUILT, Shane Homes, Sterling Homes, Trico Homes and Truman Homes. Show homes are set to open in 2021. Go to liveinambleton.com for more.

By the numbers Jayman BUILT marks its 40th anniversary by donating a total of $409,000 to four Alberta charities.

The renowned homebuilder and land developer had committed to donate $1,000 for each home it sells this year, and the 409 new Jayman homeowners who bought with them from January to July 2020 are as much a part of the celebrations.

“We had no idea what 2020 would bring when we first made that commitment, but – like always – we were able to rise to the challenge,” says Jay Westman, Chairman and CEO, Jayman BUILT. “Giving back to the community has always been an important part of our culture,” he tells Inside Calgary.

12 New Home + Condo Guide | Oct. 16–Nov. 13, 2020

The four Alberta-based charities that will receive more than $102,250 each from the Westman Charitable Foundation and Jayman BUILT are: • MS Society of Canada – It is an organization close to the Westman family’s heart and they fully back its research efforts to battle the disease.

• Hotchkiss Brain Institute - Works towards innovative solutions for neurological and mental health disorders.

• HomeSpace - Provides safe, appropriate and affordable housing for the most vulnerable Calgarians.

• Homeward Trust Edmonton – Not-for-profit committed to ending homelessness in Edmonton.

Design centres turn lifestyle Dreams to reality

by PePPer rodriguez The process of building a new home can be a long and tedious one, and homebuilders make every effort to make it as smooth as possible. But one part of the process that can feel both overwhelming and fun is the selection of interior finishes. This is where the buyer gets to realize the look and lifestyle of their home, and the homebuilder design centres are the places where the magic happens.

It used to be that the selection process involved going on several trips to different locations to pick out lighting fixtures, kitchen and bathroom hardware and the various little pieces that make a house a home. But many of today’s homebuilders have simplified that process, building 16 New Home + Condo Guide | Oct. 16–Nov. 13, 2020

their own design centres for a one-stop shop where everything from appliances, to flooring to tiles and cabinetry can be selected and matched with ease.

Each one has their own unique method to make their clients’ dream home become a reality, and we take a look at the processes employed by Brookfield Residential, Excel Home and Trico Homes to turn what could be a stressful experience into something more fulfilling and even enjoyable.

Like most public places during the pandemic, everyone we spoke with takes all precautions to comply with Alberta Health guidelines. Enhanced cleaning methods of all surfaces – including samples – are instituted,

as well as the wearing of masks and maintaining social distances at all times.

All three can arrange virtual meetings and Brookfield Residential says they take added steps to make sure those selections through this method are matched perfectly, but most say the in-person meeting is what clients still prefer.

Brookfield residenTial

The Studio, by Brookfield Residential, is a 3,700 square-foot contemporarily designed space located at the headquarters of the renowned land development and homebuilding enterprise on Richard Road in southwest Calgary. Opened in 2017, the stylish, art gallery-like space

Brookfield Residential

continues to inspire all those who step inside.

“Honestly, the space still inspires me each and every day I enter the building,” says Amber Boissonneault, Design Studio Manager.

She says The Studio lets clients choose an array of selections

within numerous interior finishing categories. And she means everything! From cabinetry selections, to flooring, plumbing fixtures and even window coverings. “The list truly feels endless,” she says.

“Typically the first selection that initiates our process is appliance selections, which influences our next stage, which is cabinets. Once cabinets are finalized we move to plank flooring, finishing millwork details and plumbing fixture selections. Once we have chosen our foundation materials we move from room-to-room focusing on the most impactful rooms, to the least,” Boissonneault says.

“The kitchen, being the true heart of the home, is first in line.

We select wall tile and counter tops, and continue this process in the ensuite and beyond. We wrap up our studio meetings with paint / stain colours – selecting every last detail down to the specific colour of the island electrical plate. Last, but certainly not least, is lighting fixture selections. I really think that lighting fixtures are a ‘crowning jewel’ and can add a great deal of personality to any home.”

TriCo Homes

Trico Homes also has its own Accents Design Studio at its offices on 11th Ave. SW., which is also moving to a state-of-the-art facility next year in Kingsland in the SW. But for now, single-family home clients go through their selection process at this 4,000 square-foot centralized location.

“We have extensive offerings in cabinets and accessories here, all types of flooring ranging from high end solid core plank, tiles, hardwood to carpets, plus interior finishing and plumbing which are continuously updated to satisfy new trends and the wants of all of our clients.” says Trico Homes Design Studio Consultant, Sarah Butt. “The colour combination possibilities are endless! We do offer colour boards in select product offerings to streamline the process and increase the convenience to our clients.”

She says most single-family home buyers will visit the Accents Design Studio for their new home selections while multi-family buyers get to select from a several carefully and professionally curated packages. “Single family

Excel Homes in Carrington South

purchasers will visit the studio to hand select their products with the assistance of a Trico Design Center Consultant. Our Consultants will assist clients in building the colour package that fits their lifestyle, style and budget needs in an interactive and fun appointment setting.”

The typical in-person process is mostly done in a single appointment. “I have always found it is easier to break it down into sections so the attention to detail for each item is thoroughly discussed,” Butt says. “I like to start in the kitchen which is the heart of the home for so many families; we will discuss appliance placements and accessories to ensure an organizational dream for the client, then we start looking at cabinet colour and floor combinations of which the colour palette will be built on these two items.”

From there, she takes the clients through countertop and tile selection throughout the home, one room at a time. “That is the advantage to building your home, being able to personalize each space to create your dream home.

I find it so rewarding to be a part of this process with families and to help make dreams come true!”

She adds that they are looking forward to the move to the 18 New Home + Condo Guide | Oct. 16–Nov. 13, 2020

new building. “We couldn’t be more excited for our new space.

With the soaring ceilings and abundance of natural light we are taking the opportunity to maximize all of the benefits of the new Accents Design Studio. It will be a carefully planned and wellorganized space with even more beautiful products to choose from and we look forward to providing all of our customers with an elevated experience.” exCel Homes

Excel Homes does things a little differently when it comes to the material selection process. They don’t have one single design centre – they have several, in fact, one each in all of the communities they build single-family homes in.

Excel Homes’ show homes come equipped with their own design centres where clients can do all their selections with ease and comfort. Excel’s area managers have the expertise to assist clients in creating the aesthetic appeal of their homes with the wide array of material selections in these design centres.

“This makes it easier for the clients, they can make their selections in the community where they are building their new home in,” says Zachary Boyce,

marketing coordinator at Excel Homes. “We make it as simple as possible, so our clients don’t have to drive around to different locations to make their selections.”

Boyce says Excel’s expert designers have curated a number of finishing touches available for clients to select from, in each of their show home design centres.

“We have refined our list of options to the very best in quality, lasting style and value. This means you don’t need to make multiple trips to the design centre, and you don’t need to choose from an endless number of product suppliers.

All you need to do is select the colours you love and watch your home come to life.”

Tyler Scott, area manager for Excel Homes in Carrington South says he helps clients do their selections by building a colour palette first. “We start with the cabinetry, kitchen backsplash, countertops and flooring.

Appliances, are of course an essential part of the journey and we help clients pick those out too.”

They have the process down to a T so they can finish the selection process in a few short hours. “We also keep it at one client at a time in the design centres to maintain health and safety protocols,” Scott says.

PROPERTY PROFILE

THE RIDGEWAY PERSONIFIES FAMILY-FRIENDLY IDEALS Class and elegance combine with functionality in a home that will make sheltering in place so enjoyable you might never want to leave. Homes by Avi’s The Ridgeway show home in Sunset Ridge checks all the boxes by presenting the ideal family home fit for the times.

All the family-friendly must-haves are included – the walk-through pantry, the main floor tech office, a central bonus room and an upper floor laundry that espouse the easy-living lifestyle. Glamorous functionality at its best, says area manager Chris Stock.

“As you enter the home, the grand open-to-above staircase is eye catching. Stunning railing wrap around from the second floor all the way down to the walkout basement. Most people comment on the laundry room, which is very spacious, however, I think it’s the stylish tile that catches the eye,” she says.

The Ridgeway is a 2,145-square-foot, two-storey, double front drive garage home. It is an ideal forever family home with three bedrooms and two-and-ahalf baths. But it is more than just a sum of all its parts, Stock says, pointing out that it has unique features that makes it a fit for a wide range of lifestyles.

The nine-foot main floor ceiling height blends with the open concept flow of the design and the matching big windows capture the Big Sky openness of Cochrane itself. Stylish LVP flooring graces most of the main floor and the kitchen is a gourmet chef’s dream. “The kitchen has ample storage space and 20 New Home + Condo Guide | Oct. 16–Nov. 13, 2020

the stainless-steel appliances and quartz countertops make it a sleek and chic spot to entertain,” Stock says.

The second floor has a bright central bonus room, two spacious secondary bedrooms both with walkin closets, and the ideal laundry room. The master is large and has a breathtaking five-piece ensuite with his-and-hers quartz vanities, soaker tub and a huge glass shower. Bringing The Ridgeway to its full potential is the fully developed walkout basement which features triple-pane windows, large open rec room and additional bedroom and full bath.

“The Ridgeway show home is available for Lease Back at $599,900,” Stock says. “We rent it from you!

This beautiful home backs south onto a pathway and has stunning mountain views! It’s fully landscaped with irrigation; all appliances and window coverings and air conditioning will be included.”

Homes by Avi offers 11 double front attached garage home models in Sunset Ridge to fit all lifestyle needs, and they start at 1,856 square-feet with prices from $405,000.

Sunset Ridge in the northwest part of Cochrane is also the ideal community to raise a family. “Sunset Ridge is a wonderful family community that started in 2006. It offers ample green space, pathways, parks, two schools and any easy escape to the mountains,” Stock says.

ProPerty Profile | Heartland by aPex

Heartland sets the beat in CoCHrane

by PePPer rodriguez Amidst the immense blue skies and golden grass fields of Cochrane, Heartland has always set the standard for familyfriendly living in this dynamic Western Heritage town. It is no wonder that new homebuyers cannot get enough of the idyllic, easy-living serenity it offers.

Demand in its latest phase (Phase 3) has been so strong that there are already limited opportunities left there. Yet, there is more to look forward to as excitement ramps up for the new home products that are already pre-selling in the next phase (Phase 7).

There is also eager anticipation for the continued development of its new commercial site that is already providing welcome amenities to residents, including a Petro Canada gas station, Tim Hortons, and Star Liquor. A daycare is soon to open, too.

Heartland’s developer, APEX, gathered a well-respected builder group that have provided a wide range of home products to suit all the lifestyles and budgets. They include Excel Homes (APEX’s builder arm), Pacesetter by Sterling Homes and Rohit Communities.

Pacesetter Homes area manager, Dianne Blackman, says they offer several new floorplans, including bungalows and move-up homes with four-bedrooms as a standard.

“Lots in Phase 3 include walkout options. Our 1,849 square-foot Ellis 2 is one of our best sellers, boasting an open concept main floor with a large kitchen for entertaining and spacious 22 New Home + Condo Guide | Oct. 16–Nov. 13, 2020

bedrooms.” Pacesetter’s singlefamily homes start from the $400,000s.

In the upcoming Phase 7, Rohit Communities is introducing a new front/back duplex model.

“These unique front/back style duplexes have the curb appeal and appearance of an upscale singlefamily home,” says Rohit marketing coordinator, Stuart Wen. “The home is purposefully designed to have one duplex with a double front attached garage and the other has parking accessed from the back lane.” Their duplexes start from the $310,000s.

For the first time in Heartland, single-family laned homes will be available too, exclusively by Excel Homes.

“We are now selling laned homes that start at $347,000 with five different floor plans to choose from,” says Excel Homes area manager, Michelle Walker. “Our laned homes offer a loft option which provides an additional floor

of living space without having to develop the basement. This loft option is also available on a few of our move-up single family home models as well.”

Excel’s new Kendrick show home (located on 57 Morgan Street) has been built with a loft to show case this beautiful and versatile living space.

For those looking to make the move now, quick possession duplex and single-family frontdrive garage homes are available from both Pacesetter and Excel.

Rohit has some quick possession townhomes as well, which include a rear detached garage.

Heartland itself is located just off Highway 1A and 22, and features two beautiful playgrounds, lush landscaping, amazing mountain views, and access to the river. Plus, it’s close to the town centre and the mountains beyond!

NEW SHOW HOMES OPEN IN

FIRESIDE’S LATEST PHASE

by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ

All the comforts, warmth and safety of home – Fireside has become all these to its growing number of residents, as the popular south Cochrane community welcomes six new show homes that further its family-friendly image.

On October 17, there will be four new single-family show homes, and two duplexes for visitors to tour in this community developed

by La Vita Land. The builder group representing this new phase of Fireside is composed of Calbridge Homes (La Vita’s homebuilding arm), Janssen Homes, and NuVista Homes.

“This new release offers brand new opportunities for both frontdrive single family, and laned duplex lots,” says Ariana Kelly, Marketing Manager for Calbridge Homes and La Vita Land.

The new single-family show homes range from 1,847 to 2,027 square-feet, while the duplexes are from 1,495 to 1,536 square-feet.

“You’re going to see some really 26 New Home + Condo Guide | Oct. 16–Nov. 13, 2020

great features in these homes like spa-inspired ensuites with soaker tubs and dual vanities, open-toabove design elements, home offices and flex rooms, and overall just some really thoughtful and intentional floorplans,” Kelly says.

This will be the 10th phase of Fireside, which she points out marks the halfway point to completion. “All opportunities within this phase are just steps from the K-8 Fireside School, future Central Park, and preserved wetland and community garden.

It’s an extremely walkable community no matter where you live, but this phase is conveniently central to everything.”

There are currently around 900 households in Fireside, which at completion will have around 1,500 single-family homes and 500 multi-family ones.

In less than a decade of continuous growth, Fireside has become a really tight-knit community, Kelly says. “It’s a community where you know your

neighbours, kids are always playing outside, people are walking their dogs and taking advantage of the pathways system. It’s a really welcoming place to live and I think that’s something people really appreciate about this community,” she points out.

“Beyond that, the location has so much to do with it as well. If you like to enjoy the mountains on a regular basis this community is perfectly located. Being on the southwest side of Cochrane means you have direct access to Cowboy Trail and the TransCanada so getting out to Kananaskis is only a 30-minute drive. Or if you need to head into Calgary, you’re only 15 minutes to city limits. You’ll never have to battle with rush hour or driving through town to get on your way.”

Fireside was designed to please the family. The new show homes promise to continue the sense of family-friendly values and smalltown warmth that the La Vita community has brought to the

scenic countryside of southern Alberta’s foothills area.

There are 32- acres of parks and pathways connecting the community, drawing people together. Flagstone Park is a getaway for families, with a full playground for the kids and benches and picnic areas for parents to keep an eye on young ones while talking with friends and neighbours. Families will find the community has their future in mind.

Besides the school, parks and pathways, there are plenty of other amenities right in the community that has made Fireside a special place to live.

“The community has been well thought out with many of the high-demand amenities already being completed meaning

residents don’t have to wait for Fireside to be further along in the development to enjoy them.

Fireside K-8 school has been open for a couple of years now, and The Embers retail hub has a restaurant, pub, deli, pharmacy, liquor store, nail salon, preschool, Tim Hortons, Shell gas station and a quick serve drive-thru coming this fall. There’s also plenty of outdoor space to take advantage of, including playgrounds, soccer fields, and a baseball diamond. “ Affordability is also key in its popularity. Laned duplex homes start from the $340,000s, with front-drive single family starting in the $430,000s. “The price point is also proving to be very attractive to our market, as our builder group does not compromise quality with affordability,” Kelly adds.

Safety is also in everyone’s minds these days, and the new show homes will adhere to all COVID-19 precautions. “Each show home is open for visitors during regular show home hours and are all exercising heightened safety measures such as physical distancing, hand sanitizer stations and masks while touring the homes,” Kelly says.

STRONG DEMAND FUELS GROWTH IN

SOUTHPOINT

by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ

A great mix of home styles, amenities and location have always been the key focus at Vesta Properties’ Southpoint community in Airdrie, and more home-style choices that will offer an even more stylishly affordable lifestyle are on the way.

This comes even as Vesta Properties enjoyed its strongest sales in years. “The last few months was the busiest we’ve been since 2013,” says Vesta sales manager, AJ van der Linden. “The availability of spec homes in our inventory worked in our favour, especially in Airdrie, where there was a big demand for quick move-ins,” he tells New Home + Condo Guide.

They are about to get busier, as Vesta just released their new lifestyle townhouses in Southpoint.

“These lifestyle townhouses will be very popular as they offer great affordability, style and convenience,” he says.

Ranging in size from 1,540 to 1,580 square-feet the lifestyle townhouses features attached double garages and come with two- and three-bedroom options. “They also have a handy flex room on the main floor, which is important these days when working from home has become the new norm,” van der Linden says.

30 New Home + Condo Guide | Oct. 16–Nov. 13, 2020

Prices are from $299,000 to $324,900, which he says is a terrific value for these fully upgraded homes. “A similar townhome in Calgary will cost about $40,000 more.”

He points out that there are four lifestyle townhouses ready for quick possessions, and eight more will be ready for move-ins by November.

Yet, even more are in store for this young community. “Next spring, we will be bringing Phase 3 to market, and we will have five more home styles that we know will be in big demand. This will include duplexes – which we will have in Southpoint for the first time –, new redesigned laned homes, row homes with double detached garages (no condo fees), urban townhomes (no condo fees), and back-to-back townhomes (no condo fees). This added variety of new home styles will provide homes that will fit every budget and lifestyle”

It is no secret why Southpoint has been so successful in just three years since it was launched.

Selection, amenities, and location have all played a part.

The 12 acres of greenspace, including parks, tennis court, basketball court and pathways at Southpoint have always been one of the main attractions to the community, and now a new offleash dog park has just opened and will surely add to its appeal. The new K-6 school, Northcott Prairie Elementary School, has opened and is just walking distance from any point in the community.

Southpoint is located off 40th Avenue S.W. Airdrie making it one of the most accessible communities in the city. It has quick access to the Queen Elizabeth-II Highway, Main Street, and multiple transit options.

“There are several commercial centres nearby as well, shopping, groceries, entertainment and schools are all within a fiveminute drive,” van der Linden says.

“Commuting to Calgary is easy too, as the terminal for Airdrie’s express bus routes to downtown and the CrossIron Mills mall runs just outside Southpoint.”

ADVICE | ASK THE YYC CONDO EXPERT

THE COMING OF THE

ELECTRIC CARS MARIA BARTOLOTTI

Q: Dear Maria; What should a condo board consider when outfitting the building to accommodate electric vehicles?

A: This is a great question that continues to come up.

If you’re considering adding an Electric Vehicle Charging Station (EVCS) in your condominium corporation, you will want to review the Condominium Property Act and your bylaws governing the process on how common elements or services provided to owners can be changed.

Electric Vehicles are becoming increasingly popular in Alberta and I would encourage corporations and condo developers to consider adding charging stations in their buildings since it does provide some great benefits tothe community. It helps modernize your building, brings the building in line with green initiatives, increase property values, and - most importantly – help generate revenue for the condo corporation.

However, this is dependent on capacity, type of condo you live in and how you manage and structure the charging station.

As a board, your initial step is to investigate your options and have a good understanding on the three types of EVCS available to you and how they work. Keep in mind that existing Multi-Residential buildings may not have the capacity to host

a charging station and they may need to be retrofitted.

You will then want to assess the costs to the condo corporation for the proposed installation of the EVCS along with any operating, maintenance, cost of power, usage, management fees that are typically part of this process and how the cost will be distributed.

Installation costs will vary depending on the following.

1. Number of circuits and EVCS installed. If you’re planning on installing more EVCS in the future, you may want to add more circuits up front to save on costs.

2. Power- sharing options may be a way to reduce the number of circuits required for multiple stalls.

3. Distance between the EVCS and electrical room. Costs will increase depending on where the EVCS is being installed.

4. Building age - older buildings may require electrical upgrades to support the EVCS.

Hiring a certified electrical contractor will help you to determine your condo needs in this process.

These are just a bit of insight into electrical vehicle charging stations. Do the homework, talk to the experts in this field before committing to a EVCS Solution for your members.

Until next time, Maria Bartolotti, ACCI, FCCI Owner, Condominium Manager

Maria Bartolotti was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, a City she loves to call home. She is actively involved in many aspects of condo living since starting as a Condominium Property Manager in 2001. In 2005, she started her own Condominium Management firm, New Concept Management Inc., and has not looked back.

Trinity Hills overview

Calgary’s modern villages (Part 2)

by PePPer rodriguez High-density residential developments have a symbiotic relationship with commercial - one cannot grow without the other. In part two of our examination of Calgary’s modern villages, we take a look at two more successful developments that illustrate this relationship and have thrived.

38 New Home + Condo Guide | Oct. 16–Nov. 13, 2020

Village TriniTy Hills

Metropia has had a long history of multi-family development in Calgary and it has long realized the importance of combining residential and commercial aspects in their developments.

That can be easily seen in their completed mixed-use projects of University City and N3. The latter

is located in East Village where the concept of Calgary’s modern villages essentially began.

Now, Metorpia is taking this concept to a whole new level with Village Trinity Hills.

Trinity Hills is a vast commercial and residential development rising along the iconic Paskapoo Slopes of northwest Calgary, just

besides the similarly iconic Canada Olympic Park and WinSport Arena and overlooking the Trans-Canada Highway. It promises to be a selfcontained community with its own modern commercial and retail area and all manner of recreational opportunities and amenities surrounding it.

In the heart of all this is Village Trinity Hills, a modern townhome development by Metropia, that promises to bring a stylish, contemporary lifestyle that matches the beauty and uniqueness of its ridge location.

The Village Trinity Hills offers two-, three- and four-bedroom three-storey townhomes with two car parking, large balconies and inviting backyards. It backs onto a 160-acre natural heritage reserve, crisscrossed with walking trails and bike paths, and a calming natural view that will never change.

But living in Trinity Hills offers more than just stylish homes and a scenic location, it’s a complete lifestyle.

The Village is the residential component of the development, that also includes the commercial and retail districts of The Town Centre, and The Gateway. The last two are being developed by Trinity Development Group.

“Everyone lives busy lives now. so people don’t want to spend their precious free time travelling to run their errands. We want

Village Trinity Hills

convenience so we have more time to spend with our families, or at home relaxing, or time out adventuring in the amenities around Trinity Hills,” says says Lee Koutsaris, vice-president, sales, marketing and design at Metropia.

The Town Centre will be lively and urban, a great change of pace from what Calgarians expect in the suburbs. Office workers, residents and visitors will be thrilled with the ground level shopping, wide sidewalks, street parking, cafes and restaurants.

“There will be 750,000 squarefeet of retail and commercial space, including groceries, restaurants and boutique shops within walking distance from your brand-new home,” she adds.

Koutsaris says it was important for Metropia to be part of this

exciting development and that investing in locations with the best possible amenities, in fact, has always been part of the company’s philosophy.

“We truly believe it is a very special location in Calgary and landmark to Canadians – we hosted the Olympics right there – and now people can live there - there is magic in that. We also like to build master planned walkable communities and the retail component and the overall Village feel of the entire community was also a major draw for us to purchase this site as people like walkable amenities and conveniences nearby,” she says.

Village Trinity townhomes start from $479,900. Go to liveintrinityhills.ca for more information. nexthome.ca 39

The concept of the urban village is not limited to just the multi-family developments, many single-family communities tout their proximity to commercial amenities to create the same self-contained, small town lifestyle. But Seton

by Brookfield Residential brings the idea of the modern village to complete fruition.

Seton can, in fact, be called Brookfield Residential’s crowning achievement. Its long list of accolades include winning this year’s 2019 BILD Calgary Region New Community Award. Its billing as Calgary’s “Heart of the South” is fully embraced by those who now call it home, and who are starting to see its vast potential with its complete “live, work, play” lifestyle.

Seton is already one of Calgary’s most accessible, walkable, sustainable community. It is one of the city’s most comprehensive mixed-use developments, includes over 2.5 million square feet of office and retail space via Seton Urban District, a 16-acre regional park. The South Health Campus hospital is right at its entrance and the Brookfield Residential YMCA in Seton is the largest in the world.

It also has more shops, restaurants, hotels and groceries than you can shake a stick at. “We will be opening our first park here

by October, and it will give our residents a place to gather and get to know each other,” says Jessie Seymour, Brookfield Residential’s senior manager for marketing and community experience.

Of course, the outstanding array of home owning options that Seton has is what has made it so successful in such short a time.

“We just opened 13 new show homes in the latest phase this past spring and visitor traffic there has been very encouraging.”

Trico Homes Vice-President for Sales and Marketing, Wanda Palmer, tells Calgary New Home + Condo Guide that 40 New Home + Condo Guide | Oct. 16–Nov. 13, 2020

Seton show homes

their single-family and multifamily developments in Seton are among its best-sellers.

“Brookfield Residential has really done an outstanding job with Seton, it has everything that homebuyers want in a community it seems.”

There are eight homebuilders offering everything from condos, townhomes, duplex, laned and front-drive homes in Seton. It’s quite possible to own a onebedroom condo here from the

mid $100,000s, townhomes are from the high $200,000s, a duplex is from the high $300,000s, and a front-drive home starts in the low $400,000s.

“Brookfield Residential’s Seton isn’t just about providing a place in Calgary where you live and work — it’s a destination where savvy homeowners enjoy the opportunity to connect to a better lifestyle,” Seymour says.
