EDITOR’S NOTE

SEASON’S GREETINGS We’re in the Season of Giving, and the uncharacteristically mild and sunny weather we’ve been enjoying is certainly making this a memorable Christmas. New homebuyers are certainly making it memorable for the industry as demand is still up in the face of everything.

Trico Homes has certainly been enjoying the sales bump and our cover story on their new offerings in the community of Precedence in Cochrane bodes well for a healthy 2021. Their new laned homes and no-condo-fee Street Towns has widened the appeal of this young, dynamic community.

Our spotlight on Rockford’s two townhome developments – Tuscan Rise and Axis – also brings to mind the stylish functionality of these townhomes in the northwest and southeast, respectively.

Their showhomes are open so pop by for a look-see. Speaking of lookers, check out the new STARS Lottery Home in The Woods in Legacy! Built by Trico Homes this $1.1 million grand prize home will make you want to put down money for the draw, watch out for when tickets go on sale in January.

The Giving theme is echoed in our focus on charitable programs supported by Calgary’s homebuilders throughout the year. We also highlight the need to “Shop Local” this Christmas with our local store gift guide. Rounding out this issue is our look at the emerging trend of three-storey homes – they are homes designed for the times.

This year has been full of surprises, but lately, it’s surprises we want. Let’s hope it stays that way into 2021.

Street Towns

Trico Homes offers choice and affordability in Precedence

by PePPer rodriguez The fresh mountain air of Cochrane, the panoramic mountain scenery and the quaint appeal of small town living has always been the attraction for living in this western heritage town just west of Calgary. Now, Trico Homes is bringing a wider choice of home options here that will certainly bring the Big Sky lifestyle to an even more diverse range of buyers.

The renowned homebuilder now offers single-family and multi-family homes in the young, dynamic community of Precedence in Riversong. Set on a placid hillside just off Cowboy Trail on the south part of Cochrane, Precedence is as quaint as a riverside community can be. And with Trico’s new selection of stylishly affordable homes here, it is as compelling as ever to new home buyers.

“Trico will have something for 8 New Home + Condo Guide | Dec. 11, 2020–Jan. 8, 2021

everyone in Precedence, from family-friendly laned homes to quaint bungalows to Street Towns,” says area sales manager, Gwenn Utigard.

Living in Precedence, residents get to enjoy the views Cochrane is famous for, plus four kilometres of walking paths and acres of natural reserve at their back door. It is close to the Bow River and has easy access to Calgary or the mountains.

The opening of the new Jack Tennant Bridge nearby also gives residents quick access to downtown Cochrane and Highway 1A. Trico is quite excited to be bringing two of their most popular single-family laned homes here – the Rowan II and Raeya. Both are part of Trico’s Hallmark Homes Collection, which gives buyers substantial savings coupled with added value.

Rowan II

Rowan II

The Hallmark Collection is a collaborative effort between Trico Homes and its trades and suppliers that ensures buyers will get the best home for their money without sacrificing the features they love.

The Raeya is a consistent favourite at 1,802 square-feet with three bedrooms and two-anda-half baths. It has a lovely open concept main floor with the kitchen at the back of the home with a big window to give it a sunny look.

The Rowan II is at 1,730 squarefeet and has a bit of glamour with its optional fireplace on the main floor. It also has three bedrooms plus loft, and two-and-a-half baths. Both homes start from the high $300,000s.

Four single family homes sold in Precedence, and demand has been strong. Two quick possession single family homes – including Trico’s unique Georgia bungalow – will be ready for move-ins early 2021.

The bestseller in Precedence, however, are Trico’s no-condo-fee Street Towns.

“We have thought of everything in our Street Towns, from landscaping front and back, a fenced back yard, double car garage, deck, stainless steel appliances, washer and dryer, nine-foot ceilings,” Utigard says.

“Trico has designed and utilized the space of these homes so carefully.

The quality and workmanship are second to none.”

She adds that buyers also get a choice of home sites, which she says is very rare with Street Towns. “We have level lots, sunshine basements, or walkout basements available.”

Precedence Street Towns have all the elements buyers are looking for – homes that are comfortably sized with a completely fenced in backyard, at an affordable price point without the obligations of monthly condo fees.

The West Coast style architecture of Precedence Street

Towns also works well with the Rockies as a backdrop, with the angled rooflines and the elegant exterior accents giving each home a marked singularity and a stunning curbside presence.

“The unique West Coast style architecture and stylish interiors are sought-after features by young professionals looking for their first home, while growing families are attracted to the tight-knit atmosphere of the community,” Utigard says. “Street towns are also a desirable option for empty nesters looking to right-size into a smaller home but still want a private yard and outdoor space.”

Best of all, Street Town buyers never have to worry about condo fees that are ever at risk of rising.

“There are no restrictions or rules, no one monitoring your property.

It’s the same as owning a singlefamily home,” Utigard says.

She points out that four of these Street Towns are part of the Trico 60 Day Sale. “These quick possession homes all come with the most popular features and upgrades and they’re all ready to move in by December 30th. Celebrate New Year in a new home!” nexthome.ca 9

LEGACY CHRISTMAS LIGHTS PARADE

What’s Happening There are numerous Christmas lights shows around Calgary during the Holidays, but for our readers, we thought it best to highlight a residential community that never ceases to amaze with its own amazing Christmas lights display: Legacy.

The community of Legacy is bringing a bright spot to Calgarians – literally. From November 16 to January 10, Legacy lights up the south end of the city with more than a million Christmas lights in a cheery display throughout the community as one of Calgary’s largest free light displays. This is the fifth year that

By The Numbers With new restrictions in place in Alberta, BILD Calgary came up with new guidelines for its members that will help limit the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

“BILD would like to highlight measures and best practices that should be put in place by our industry until such time as the restrictions can safely be lifted,” says Brian Hahn, BILD Calgary Region CEO. Here are a few of the guidelines

the Legacy Residents Association has held the event in partnership with the community developer, WestCreek Development.

Festive lights will adorn parks and playgrounds, trees, show homes, design features like the Legacy clock tower and more, in addition to hundreds of beautifully decorated private homes throughout the community – and especially the showhome parades.

Calgarians are invited to enjoy walking or driving through the community to experience this magical display as a socially distant way to soak in the holiday spirit with family and cohorts. Find out more about the community at www.legacylife.ca.

that BILD Calgary has announced and that may affect showhome and design centre visitors: • Limit to By Appointment only no walk-ins • COVID questionnaires advisable for all visitors • PPE (masks) to be worn by all staff and visitors • Physical distancing of at least two metres wherever possible • Limit the number of visitors per appointment • Visitors should be from the same household

That said, some homebuilders are opting to keep their showhomes open to walk-ins.

DID YOU KNOW?

Calgary Zoo’s popular ZOOLIGHTS features two million twinkling Christmas lights with over 200 light figurines.

Homes by Avi Homes by Avi broke ground recently on their cutting-edge multi-family development, The Bungalows at Livingston. The building site, located at 1102, 350 Livingston Common NW, is Scandinavian inspired with modern

architecture and natural interior elements combined with urban community conveniences.

The Bungalows, which launched in March, has been quite the hit, and the very first buyers were present for the ceremonial event.

Homeowners Lauriston and Sandra commented that they had been waiting for a project like this, and the community was “exactly where they pictured retirement”.

Including one-, two- and three-bedroom bungalow and two-storey townhomes that offer attached parking, and private access to each unit, The Bungalows balance innovative design with striking architecture.

The modern homes, which start from the low $300,000s offer a unique alternative for multifamily living for today’s contemporary and refined buyers, who are interested in main floor living.

Spread across six boutique buildings, The Bungalows deliver high value homes and unsurmountable quality to priceconcious individuals in Calgary’s real estate market.

Rohit Communities App Rohit Communities, an award-winning homebuilder in western Canada, has released My Rohit Home, an innovative app to help homebuyers and real estate agents shop for homes in Alberta.

While many builders have mobile-optimized websites, Rohit’s dedicated mobile app provides users with special features like exclusive access to new homes, the ability to save and share favourite listings and even reserve their designer home right on the app. The company is also working to add more specialized features that are set to release in 2021.

App users are awarded the benefit of early access to new properties before they are live on the website. With more people spending time at home in 2020, and consumer shopping behaviours shifting more digitally than ever before, the app offers users access to Rohit’s complete catalogue of available homes – in real time and from the palm of their hand.

Users can download the app for free by searching My Rohit Home in any app store. nexthome.ca 11

Tuscan Rise grows in esTablished community

by PePPer rodriguez In the well-established, all-butbuilt-out community of Tuscany in the northwest, a hidden gem is revealed. Tuscan Rise – the latest townhome development

by Rockford – is giving buyers a final opportunity to own a new home in this popular, amenity-rich neighbourhood.

Tuscany has everything to enjoy a modern, connected lifestyle. It has parks and pathways aplenty, recreational facilities, commercial centres, groceries, schools and more are within the community itself or just outside its borders.

And they are all there ready to be used and enjoyed by residents.

Tuscan Rise is just the perfect development for people who

want to stay in the community but want a newly built home they can afford, says Tuscan Rise area manager, Helena Kipp.

“Most of our purchasers are either first time buyers or downsizers. People looking for affordability, choice, beautiful interior finishes and a low maintenance lifestyle. Many of our customers already live in Tuscany!” she says. “We see young adults who grew up here and want to stay close to family. And on the flip side we see downsizers who want to simplify their lives but remain in a community they love.”

Rockford has established a name in building some of Calgary’s most stylish and well-designed multi-

14 New Home + Condo Guide | Dec. 11, 2020–Jan. 8, 2021

family communities, including Axis in Walden, the Morena West bungalow villas in Signal Hill, and many more. Tuscan Rise continues this legacy of quality and value – not to mention, affordability.

Tuscan Rise will be a beautifully landscaped community offering row style townhomes. There will be a total of 83 units once this development is complete.

“We have three plans to choose from, including two- and threebedroom models,” Kipp says.

The Verona is a two-bedroom, two-bath layout with an option to develop the basement. It includes two outdoor assigned parking stalls. At 1,107 square-feet it starts at $279,000, plus GST. The Arezzo

is a two-bed, two-bath townhome with a tandem garage. It is at 1,167 square-feet and starts at $309,900, plus GST. The Sienna is available in two- or three-bedroom floor plans with 2.5 bathrooms and an option to develop the basement. It includes an attached single car garage with driveway. It is at 1,183 Square-feet and starts from $309,000 plus GST. “We have a limited number of walkout units in this plan,” Kipp says.

Its location within Tuscany plays a big part in its appeal. “We are conveniently close to Crowchild Trail and 12 Mile Coulee Road, so getting in and out of the development is a breeze. The LRT is also just a three-minute drive away,” she adds.

“Customers can expect a low maintenance lifestyle. Our homeowners enjoy inexpensive condo fees which take care of all exterior maintenance and repairs. This allows our owners to enjoy their downtime rather than spending it cutting the grass or shovelling snow!”

Show homes are open to give interested parties a taste of what life would be like here. nexthome.ca 15

Cedarglen Homes

The third-floor Trend

by PePPer rodriguez

It’s as easy as one, two, three.

Calgary is seeing a new trend in home design these days, as the third-floor option gains in popularity and many singlefamily home builders, and even townhome developers, are getting into the picture.

This captivating extra private space atop the home has become popular for lots of reasons. It gives an extra living space that’s quite a bit more sunny than a basement development, it can provide an extra suite that’s handy for families

with teenagers craving their own space, and adding a rooftop patio gives owners a quiet, calm spot where they can enjoy the enchanting views from up high.

That last advantage is especially handy when you’re living in one of Calgary’s many naturally endowed communities where the extra height brings a more generous vantage point to enjoy the panoramic vistas of nearby river valleys and mountains.

The third-floor option isn’t a new concept, Excel Homes

18 New Home + Condo Guide | Dec. 11, 2020–Jan. 8, 2021

has been offering these plans in their single-family line for some 10 years now, and it has always been a popular feature among custom home builders in the inner-city. Just imagine having an extra room on the third-floor and then adding another suite in the basement – that’s a lot of home!

Now, with the popularity of multi-generational households, more homebuilders and townhome developers are seeing a marked demand for these types of homes.

“We have seen an influx in the number of people requesting lofts,” says Excel Homes marketing manager, Kristina Plank. “It is a great addition to any home and allows our customers to plan ahead, leaving plenty of room for their family to grow in their new home. Lofts can be used as their kids’ play spaces, extra bedroom/ hangout spot for teenagers, or spare bedroom for extended family when they come to visit.”

Cedarglen Homes says they got into the three-storey home picture when they saw a great opportunity to build one that they couldn’t pass up in the southeast riverside community of Cranston’s Riverstone. “We saw an opportunity to capture an amazing view that Cranston’s Riverstone offers while creating a unique space,” says Cedarglen

Homes’ sales and marketing manager, Allison Harvie.

Now, Cedarglen has threestorey showhomes in Cranston’s Riverstone, The Parks of Harvest Hills and Encore West Grove Estates where visitors can get a glimpse of what this threestorey lifestyle offers. Additionally, they also offer these threestorey models in Belmont, Livingston, and Rockland Park.

Unlike a basement development that can be finished at a later date, third-floor options have to be pre-determined at the planning stage when building a new home. Buyers have to indicate that they want this extra feature in their initial plans. After all, it’s doubtful one can add an extra room on top of your roof once the house is built, not without incurring heavy, impractical costs.

ZEN townhome

Cedarglen Homes

Excel Homes was one of the first builders to offer this option, and their three-storey homes have been a consistent best-seller. They now offer this in 11 of the communities in Calgary and Edmonton where they currently build.

“The response has been overwhelmingly positive!” Plank tells Calgary New Home + Condo Guide. “Buyers love the additional personalized space that they can tailor around what they need as a family. The addition comes with an extra bathroom, bedroom and living space that can be used for all ages, giving older children, family members or guest their own private space within your home.”

Plank says that because of this surge in demand, Excel’s existing home models are being redesigned to accommodate

ZEN townhome

Cedarglen Homes

nexthome.ca 19

a third-floor addition.

Harvie points out these three level homes provides buyers the extra living space without increasing the size of their lot. Cedarglen also designed variations in these homes that allows the third floor module to be placed in front of the home or the rear to ensure that owners can enjoy the best views.

“The space becomes that much more flexible this way.

Homebuyers choose to build it as a entertaining space, home office, art studio or family room,” Harvie says. Cedarglen has five home models with a third-storey option to choose from, and these can add anywhere from 314 to 415 additional square feet to the home.

At Cedarglen, prices for a home with a third storey option varies depending on the community, but the lowest is in the $530,000s in the new southeast community of Belmont.

Three-storey townhomes are not new, and it is how many row townhomes are built. But a third-floor patio is something that Avalon Master Builder has introduced in their line of ZEN townhomes.

“We wanted to offer a unique multi-family product in the Calgary market; to provide more living and outdoor space for multi-family homeowners,” says Avalon’s Sales and Marketing Coordinator, Marni Chenier.

“We debuted this design at ZEN Urban District, in Seton. The third level was so successful in the first project that it’s now a standard in our communities and is synonymous with Avalon’s ZEN brand.”

She adds that feedback has been phenomenal to the rooftop addition. “Buyers instantly fall in love with the home when they tour the third-floor option. They are even more excited when they walk out onto the private rooftop patio and see the view!”

ZEN townhome

Chenier says this is the feature most requested by their homeowners. “In our stacked townhome communities, we offer products with a first home buyer’s budget in mind. Our buyers can choose a two-storey home, with the third level and private rooftop patio being optional.”

In ZEN Sequel, the starting price for a two storey townhome is $263,800, while a two-storey townhome with the third level

20 New Home + Condo Guide | Dec. 11, 2020–Jan. 8, 2021

and rooftop patio options is $302,000. Both starting prices are net GST included, Chenier adds.

Avalon offers third levels at ZEN Sequel in Seton, ZEN Riverstone and ZEN Rockland Park.

Calgary’s homebuilders lend a helping hand year round

by PePPer rodriguez

This past year has been a most difficult one, to say the least, and helping each other is the only way to get through in the coming months. The resulting economic crunch has not made it easy, however, and those who need help the most find themselves in even more dire straits.

Calgary’s homebuilders know the importance of community intimately – it is after all a big part of their business – and they have not shirked from their commitments to helping build the bonds of community through the charities they support. And not just during Christmas, but year-round.

Westman Village WesTman village

Residents of this multi-family marvel from Jayman BUILT are just as lovely as the lakeside condo development they live in it seems. Their lobby literally glows with the Christmas spirit, as does their giving spirit.

Melissa Bull, Village Centre Operations Manager, says the Christmas fundraiser they did last year to support GRIT Calgary Society was so successful that they are doing a repeat this year.

“Last year we paired up with the GRIT Society to ‘adopt’ a family. We received information on a family of four with individual wish lists for each person and the residents participated in purchasing different things 22 New Home + Condo Guide | Dec. 11, 2020–Jan. 8, 2021

HopeWell residenTial

Polar Dip

from their list. Happy to say it was a huge success and the community really loved the personalized experience of this program so we are setting this up once again this year!”

GRIT provides an early education program that is tailored to a child’s individual needs with opportunities to experience inclusion and full participation in their home, school and community. She says the 800-plus residents of Westman Village have been very generous with their time and money to support the initiative and “gifts were overflowing by the end of the collection period,” Bull says.

The developers of such standout communities as Mahogany and Copperfield has supported many charitable foundations like Wellspring, Calgary Library Foundation and more. But Hopewell Residential’s support of the Calgary Icebreaker Polar Dip could just be the most fun.

“We sponsor the Calgary Icebreaker Polar Dip. It’s a local fundraiser that has provided more than $400,000 in critical funds and awareness to support women and children escaping human trafficking,” says Hopewell Residential Marketing Manager, Jerry Trgina.

Jill Plett is the Dip Director for Calgary Icebreakers and a resident of Mahogany, whose 63-acre lake has been the site of many of this frigid event. She says the fun event supports a very serious cause.

“Sometimes living out in a beautiful community in the suburbs, we can feel quite distant from issues like human trafficking.

However, we know that this issue affects more of us than we would ever hope. Our very own children can be impacted,” she says.

The event is held winters at the Mahogany Beach Club, where participants dive in the icy lake to raise funds. All proceeds go to Servants Anonymous Foundation (SAFoundation), which provides long term safe housing, support and training for women and their children exiting sexual exploitation.

Brookfield residenTial

One of Alberta’s biggest homebuilders and developers has just a big a heart in reaching out to the community and providing support for a variety of causes. One of their more notable undertakings this year was raising money to provide PPE (personal protective equipment) to frontliners helping in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. nexthome.ca 23

Brookfield Residential also matched 2-to-1 employee donations that helped support 85 local charities, even as they donated $125,000 worth of PPE to non-profit frontline workers in Calgary.

“Helping communities stay well during these challenging times is an extension of our role as community builders,” says Seyi Oyewumi, Manager, Sustainability.

“As a leading developer of homes and communities, it’s essential that we enhance the economic vitality in the communities where we live, work and play. In Alberta, we are proud to support the organizations providing essential relief to people and families facing hardship due to the impacts of COVID-19.”

Habitat for Humanity

Jayman BuilT

One of the most prominent homebuilders in the city is also one of its most generous, Jayman BUILT has done so much that they are worth a second mention in this feature.

They have recently donated a lot of furniture from their showhomes that have been closed to Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore retail stores.

“As Habitat for Humanity’s social enterprise, donations to the ReStore have always been important,” says Lisa

Hallet, Manager, Marketing and Communications for Habitat for Humanity Southern Alberta “Each year, the ReStores generate nearly $1 million in net proceeds for Habitat for Humanity Southern Alberta.

This allows us to help families build strength, stability and independence through affordable home ownership. That’s why corporate donations to the ReStores – like Jayman’s – have been so critical,” he adds “In today’s economy, it is

24 New Home + Condo Guide | Dec. 11, 2020–Jan. 8, 2021

important for companies that can step up, to step up. And while many may not be able to open their cheque books, there are other much-needed ways charities can benefit from corporate giving,” says Jay Westman, Chairman and CEO, Jayman BUILT. “Have some old furniture?

Donate it. I’m proud of my team for continuing to find ways to give back to the communities we serve and we’re so thrilled to be able to find an innovative way to support Habitat for Humanity.”

Trico grand prize showhome sTars iN

Legacy

by PePPer rodriguez

Trico Homes is once again flexing its considerable skill in creating stylishly distinctive homes as it prepares for the opening of its fourth STARS Lottery grand prize home.

Located in the gorgeous southeast community of Legacy, Trico’s $1.1 million Cambridge showhome will headline one of the city’s most eagerly awaited charity events.

“Our team couldn’t be more proud to design and build the Calgary Lottery Home for the fourth straight year,” says Wanda Palmer, Vice President, Marketing.

“At Trico, we bring our very best to every community we live and work in, and we’re honoured to have

this opportunity to help support STARS Air Ambulance and the critical life-saving work they do for Albertans each and every day.”

Each STARS lottery ticket sold helps keep the distinctive red helicopters and crews in the air for the next patient that needs the crucial and rapid assistance only they can bring.

“We are very excited to build the Cambridge for STARS,” says Glenda Schwartz, Marketing Manager at Trico Homes. “It is a new model for Trico that we just released this year and it has been very well received,” she tells Calgary New Home + Condo Guide.

This year’s grand prize home stands at over 2,669 square-feet and is going up in the acclaimed The Woods in Legacy semi-estate area. It features a developed basement and a triple car garage that presents a stately presence in this sought after community.

This semi-estate home offers

something special for every member of the family. The main floor opento-below area above the great room illuminates a grand, sun-filled space with its huge two-storey windows and tile to ceiling fireplace.

The adjoining gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream with a massive island, top of the line appliances

and butler’s pantry, which conveniently connects to the oversized mudroom and offers ample storage space along with a convenient tiled pet shower.

The main floor flex room provides a spacious yet private space for a home office complete with stylish barn doors. With a beautiful glass railing leading to the second floor, the master bedroom is a relaxing oasis with its spa inspired five-piece ensuite and private balcony, separated from the other bedrooms and full bathroom by a beautiful central bonus room. The finished basement boasts a large family rec room, wet bar and home gym.

Among the other highlights of the home are the vaulted great room ceiling that adds to its of grandeur; the open staircase with glass railing gives a nod to its contemporary taste; and the large rear deck backing into The Woods’ densely treed backyard is a welcoming and private spot to entertain.

Palmer says Trico has proudly supported STARS because they realize its importance to the community.

“At Trico, we believe strong communities are the foundation on which great homes are built and we are very proud to build this beautiful home for STARS. Our entire team including our trades and suppliers are thrilled to partner together and provide our support to this amazing cause and group of people.”

The pandemic may impact the ability to see this home in person, as the showhome will not be open to the public, but interested parties will be able to view it virtually on the STARS website. Check out the STARS lottery website – www. starslotteryalberta.ca – for updates and to buy tickets.

Tickets will be available to purchase online beginning January 14th, 2021. The final draw for all prizes including the homes will take place on April 1, 2021. nexthome.ca 29

ProPerty Profile | Axis by rockford

Life revoLves around

Axis

by PePPer rodriguez

The appeal of Axis has always been that it presents comfortable, stylish, well-designed and better built townhomes in a well-established dynamic community, and now it’s more affordable than ever. The opportunity to own in this popular development in Walden is more tantalizing than ever, as prices are the lowest they have been.

If you were to take a stockbroker’s advice to buy low and sell high, now is definitely the time to buy. “Prices have

never been better with Rockford’s latest promotion taking $20,000 off units. Our most affordable floor plan is going for $299,000 including taxes,” says area manager, David Hansen. And that this already includes an attached garage and upgraded standard selections that truly gives Axis an unbelievable value.

Axis townhomes are definitely a home that singles, couples or families with children can fall in love with. Located in the popular

30 New Home + Condo Guide | Dec. 11, 2020–Jan. 8, 2021

southeast community of Walden, Axis - from Rockford - brings style, space and affordability that the market is looking for.

“You get a home that you don’t have to top up with additional upgrades, as we already offer Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring on the main floor, and all countertops are now quartz at no additional cost,” he adds.

Hansen also points out that Rockford includes standard items that “other builders either don’t

offer, don’t have or would charge extra” like double shelves in all closets, tile in entryways, kitchen and bathrooms, pendant lights over kitchen island, pot lights in select models, and much more.

Axis is made up of 72 townhomes spread among 13 buildings in Walden. It offers two- and threebedroom units measuring from 1,193 to 1,482 square-feet with a choice of single, tandem, or double attached garages.

“The two- or three-bedroom units we have offer versatility to suit many needs, and the versatility within the units themselves is an awesome feature. You can basically choose how you want the living room dining room layout to be, we’ve designed them with choice in mind. The large garages are a

huge feature, that not only have room for two vehicles, there is room to spare, for bikes, carriages and whatever else is important to the buyer,” Hansen says.

Its location in the 5,000-acre smart growth community of Walden is one of the biggest draws for Axis. This Genstar community in the southeast has terrific accessibility to downtown through Macleod Trail, and is an excellent gateway for a quick trip to Kananaskis via Highway 22.

Young families especially like the fact that Walden is surrounded by well-established communities with tons of amenities already available.

“Walden is now making a turn, to a more mature type of neighbourhood,” Hansen says. “It’s as family-friendly as can be, which is just perfect for residents of Axis.” nexthome.ca 31
