In these last days of summer, there is a renewed energy going through Calgary’s new home market. New communities and new showhomes seem to be opening up every week, I should know, my head’s still spinning from the whirlwind weekend checking out the latest launches.

Our travels sent us all through most of Calgary’s satellite towns and beyond, starting with our cover feature for Heartland in Cochrane, where Apex Developments just opened their latest phase and welcomed new builders. Check out our cover feature to see how much the countryfied lifestyle appeals to today’s new homebuyers.

We also toured Vesta Properties Southpoint in Airdrie where new laned and duplex showhomes made their debut in the latest phase (their development of Copperstone in southeast Calgary also features prominently in this issue – check out the oversized insert inside).

Our Explore Okotoks feature also took us through the latest developments going on in this scenic town just south of Calgary, which if you didn’t know has become a hotspot not just for new home growth but for dining and entertainment as well.

My Inside Calgary news column bears out all our travels this month as we bring you all the other brand-new developments going on in the city from Chestermere to the Tsuut’ina Nation and all points in between. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram and you’ll see just how much we enjoy checking out these new showhomes and communities.

Find out also the latest news about Hopewell Residential’s Arbour Lake West community in the northwest and StreetSide Development’s new initiatives inside. As well as the joyous news for the return of the Calgary Fall Home Show.

Big skies and Bigger opportunities at

Heartland

by PePPer rodriguez

With its considerable countryside charm, affordability and style, Heartland has quickly become a favourite among new homebuyers in Cochrane. There’s even more to love now as this Apex Development community in Big Sky country starts its latest phase.

This master-planned community on Cochrane’s west side has grown rapidly with new amenities adding to its easy-living nature, and the addition of more home types and a new homebuilder means a greater range of choices for buyers.

“We are building in Phases 7 and 8 right now and getting ready to commence Phase 11 with more front-drive homes backing onto a 10 New Home + Condo Guide | Sept. 17–Oct. 15, 2021

future school site,” says Michelle Wilken, Marketing Coordinator at Apex Development.

Daytona Homes is the latest to join Heartland’s homebuilder group and they will be offering frontdrive homes with their signature innovation and flair they are known for. They will be opening their showhome early next year.

Wilken says those aren’t the only new developments marking Heartland’s continued growth. “The Protective Services Building is well underway in Heartland and it is expected for completion by spring 2023,” she adds.

The Heartland Station commercial centre has become the

beating heart of the community’s social life and a major hub for retail and services. There is a new Cabeza Grande Mexican restaurant here that’s gaining popularity, Mr. Mozzarella pizzeria offers delicious convenience for busy families, and old reliable Tim Horton’s is where community residents can get their morning caffeine fix on the way to work. A day care centre, liquor store and Petro-Canada gas station and convenience store complete the set-up.

Heartland is a 250-acre community that will have approximately 1,500 homes when complete. It stands at about the halfway point of development now.

Currently on offer are laned homes starting from the high $300’s, and front drive garage homes from the mid $400’s. “There is still one unit available from Rohit Communities’ new, unique front/ back style duplexes,” Wilken says.

Excel Homes’ laned homes are from the high $300’s and front-

drive garage homes from the mid $400’s. They range in size from 1,435 to 2,353 square-feet.

Their Burton laned home showhome is a showstopper in Heartland with its stylish, openconcept main floor and wellappointed upper floor. It has threebedrooms and two-and-a-half baths and a convenient upper floor laundry. It also comes loaded with Built Green features including a 96 percent high-efficiency furnace, smart thermostats, and even a solar panel rough-in.

Excel also has the family-friendly Kendrick front-drive showhome.

With space for the whole family, the Kendrick has quickly become a favourite among growing families and is designed for growing households. Enter through the large foyer or separate mudroom before settling in to relax or entertain for the evening in its spacious living room.

The open concept main floor allows owners to keep an eye on

the great room while preparing dinner at the kitchen island with seating for four. Upstairs, the master retreat has oversized closets and a luxurious ensuite. Keep the kids entertained in the bonus room, flooded with natural light, and tuck them in easy with two additional bedrooms. Plus, with upstairs laundry and linen closet, Sunday chores are a breeze.

Excel Homes is running its One Price Event promotion starting September 11. Go to excelhomes. ca for more info.

Not to be outdone, Pacesetter

by Sterling Homes boasts a couple of stunning front-drive garage showhomes in Heartland.

There is the 2,197-square-foot Denali 4 with two-and-a-half baths. The 1,849-square-foot Ellis 2 has three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths with stunning dark cabinetry, island seating for 3, and formal dining will make dinner time your favorite part of the day. nexthome.ca 11

Pacesetter’s homes in Heartland start from the $480’s. They have a limited time promo in September for upgraded ensuite and main bath plus additional $10,000 in free upgrades.

Edmonton-based Rohit Communities has something up its sleeve, as they chose Heartland to launch their first single-family homes in the Calgary area. Details are still being worked out, but they will have three-bed, two-and-ahalf bath laned homes at 1,627 square-feet, as well as three-bed, two-and-a-half bath front-drive garage homes ranging from 1,723 to 1,886 square-feet. Sales are expected to commence in the fall.

It’s no wonder they chose Heartland for this launch, as their front/back style duplex models have sold exceedingly well here, and only one duplex home is left to sell. The home is purposefully

designed to have one duplex with a front attached garage and the other has parking accessed from the back lane.

A big edge to their success has been their new Designer Interior Concepts, which give buyers the opportunity to live large in a stylishly designed home at a fraction of the price.

The amazing – and growing - array of homes is just one part of Heartland’s appeal. It also has multiple parks and playgrounds, a pathway system that connect the whole community, as well as three points of access for convenience traveling in and out of the community.

Living in Heartland also offers residents the entire recreational possibilities available in The Town of Cochrane, including the Spray Lake Mill recreation centre, the beautiful river pathway system

Heartland playground

12 New Home + Condo Guide | Sept. 17–Oct. 15, 2021

and off leash dog parks as well as the dynamic downtown commercial district with lots of shopping and restaurants.

Apex is known for their excellence in designing communities that enhance the lives of their residents, where coming home is truly the best part of your day, and that is exactly what you find here in the Heartland.

“We believe homeowners are going to love the lifestyle and mountain views Heartland offers, plus the quick, relaxing drive to Canmore, Banff, and the mountain parks, and downtown Calgary from Highway 1A,” she says.

Heartland will continue to grow with a mixture of single-family, duplex and multi-family sites left.

“Heartland offers such a wide selection of product that it’s able to welcome first time buyers, empty nesters, and move-ups,” she adds.

“SOLA is widely recognized now as Canada’s most tech innovative luxury new condo tower,” says Carla Hackman, Sales Manager of Ocgrow Group, SOLA’s developer.

News | Calgary Fall Home sHow

The calgary Fall Home sHow

is back!

by PePPer rodriguez

It is one of Calgary’s most anticipated events in the fall, and now, it’s back! The Calgary Fall Home show is slated to open its doors on September 30 at the BMO Centre, and the buzz is beginning to grow.

After the pandemic-induced lockdowns forced the show’s cancellation last year, Calgary’s favourite all-about-homes show makes its return, and it promises to be as full of inspiration and information for the homeowner as it had ever been.

“We are extremely excited to be back for the Calgary Fall Home Show - a show we know will be able to help boost the local 20 New Home + Condo Guide | Sept. 17–Oct. 15, 2021

economy here in Alberta,” says Martin Egli, Show Manager for the Calgary Home Shows.

“The shows serve as a onestop shop for all things home improvement, and we heard from many local businesses during the pandemic that they were wanting the chance to return safely to be able to connect with homeowners directly,” he adds.

“We also saw home improvement projects on the rise during the last two years and our consumers definitely missed having the opportunity to visit the exhibitors in-person. It will be great to be back and to provide both businesses and homeowners

the opportunity to connect safely, in-person and continue to produce vibrant events that we are known for.”

The show, to be held at the BMO Centre from September 30 to October 3, will be welcoming over 200 exhibitors.

“Whether Calgarians are looking to build their dream home or are simply looking to update a few areas in their home, the show ensures a robust and knowledgeable variety of exhibitors for attendees,” Egli says. “From tiles, tubs, to solar technology - the show really has it all.”

He adds that homeowners looking to refresh their spaces

with small decor items will also be able to shop at the Home Marketplace, featuring The Watermark Shop, Primrose and The Sunroom Plant Shop. This will include a curated assortment of beautiful home decor items made from local makers and artisans, using sustainable methods and materials.

Health and safety for everyone remains a top priority, Egli says. “The health and safety of attendees, exhibitors and staff is a priority. We have increased the number of sanitation stations, made the aisles larger to ensure proper social distancing, eliminated large gathering areas, and will continue to follow all provincial health guidelines set by the Government of Alberta and the City of Calgary.”

The Calgary Fall Home Show has served the city as one of the best resources for home-related products and services. Attendees can experience stunning displays to help inspire their next home project, and they can also connect with industry experts, and enjoy informative presentations from renowned local and international home professionals.

The Calgary Fall Home Show will take place at the BMO Centre. sHow dates aNd Hours:

Community Profile | SouthPoint

Finding it all in

Southpoint

by PePPer rodriguez

Diversity creates community. No one knows this better than Vesta Properties as they continue to build communities that underline the wide variety of home choices that can fit all the wants and needs of buyers. Their young community of Southpoint in Airdrie proves the point.

Vesta just launched the latest phase of this dynaminc community on the southern edge of Airdrie with no less than six different home products. “This phase has it all,” says Vesta sales manager, AJ van der Linden.

The launch on September 11 saw the opening of new duplex and Signature Collection laned single-family showhomes, all are new models that express a new thrust in Vesta’s home design focusing on spacious functionality.

“The duplex has become our new starter home in Southpoint while the laned homes has become the new move-up. Buyers can expect more space, bigger rooms and more style,” van der Linden says.

Besides the Signature Collection 22 New Home + Condo Guide | Sept. 17–Oct. 15, 2021

laned homes and duplex homes, Vesta – the land developer and exclusive homebuilder of Southpoint – will also have Lifestyle Townhomes, Urban Townhomes, Freehold Rowhomes and Back-to-Back Townhomes in the latest phase. “Phase 3 will have all no-condo fee townhomes,” van der Linden says.

There is much excitement for Southpoint’s Signature Collection of laned single-family homes. Van der Linden says it is their most customizable homes yet with a full range of options to choose from, including three-bedroom and three-bathroom models with an unfinished basement that range from 1,735 to 1,867 square-feet of living space. “Our models all come with side entrances so there’s easy access to the basement,” he says.

Vesta’s highly anticipated duplex homes are also newly designed to offer 1,629 to 1,733 square-feet of expertly designed living space. They also have an additional 780 squarefeet of unfinished basement.

“Our upscale modern exteriors

match the quality of design and finishings in the interiors. Attached front garage with added driveway parking, modern kitchen equipped with oversized island, quartz countertops and premium stainlesssteel appliances, main floor powder room, mudroom, upper laundry and spacious master retreats are just some of the features you will find in these homes.”

Van der Linden says there are limited opportunities to move in before the end of the year. “We have four move-in-ready singlefamily homes right now,” he says.

“For a very limited time, we have Grand Opening incentives that include blinds, washer/dryer, luxury vinyl plank flooring and slide-in range and wridge with water/ice dispenser worth over $9,000.”

Signature Collection laned single-family homes start from $434,900 and duplex homes are from $409,900, both prices include GST. Find out more at www.vestaproperties.com

OkOtOks: OppOrtunities abOund by pepper rOdriguez

Okotoks Old Towne

24 New Home + Condo Guide | Sept. 17–Oct. 15, 2021

Okotoks has always been a jewel of a town in southern Alberta. The majestic views of the Rockies it offers, the lush nature at its doorstep with winding river walking paths and biking trails, and an undeniable small-town charm that shines through even as it continues to grow.

It’s closeness to nature is underlined by the rolling grasslands of southern Alberta stretching out in all its splendour, the white-capped peaks of the majestic Rockies that look close enough to touch, and the cool waters of the gently flowing Sheep River runs right through the heart of it all.

But Okotoks is a modern prairie town with bigcity amenities easily available, which is why its nearly 29,000 inhabitants love it so. And now there’s more to love with the variety of new communities that are growing fast in town.

Anthem United has been a big player in Okotoks spurring much of the town’s growth in the last few years with their young, dynamic communities of D’ARCY and Wedderburn on the north side of town. Partners Development Group also maintains a significant presence in town with townhome developments in D’ARCY and in Drake Landing.

Partners’ head office is, in fact, in Okotoks.

Apex Development is just about ready to wrap up their hugely successful Mountainview community, with just a handful of lots left. enviable lifesTyle

Jenny Cawthorn, Marketing Coordinator with Anthem United, says Okotoks’ considerable charms makes it an irresistible community for new homebuyers to settle in.

“Lifestyle is friendly and down to earth. Being only 15 minutes from the Calgary, you’re removed from the noise, yet Okotoks still has all the benefits. Including Costco and other big box stores.”

Its small-town nature comes through in its quaint and lovely Main Street, that offers unique,

boutique stores found only in town, and a host of cafes and restaurants that people from all over make the effort to drive to and enjoy.

“We have heard numerous times that people relocate from other small towns to Okotoks because it “feels like home” to them,” Cawthorn says. “Kids grow up close and you get to know your neighbours. I have heard nothing but good things from people who grew up in the town.”

Jade Mahon, Vice-President of Operations and Development at Partners Development Group says she moved to Okotoks a couple years back when the company moved its head office there. She also missed the small town living Big Sky BBQ

she had been used to in Cochrane where she and her husband raised their kids.

“We realized we wanted to still be within a small community, and the company I work for, Partners Development Group, was moving their offices to Okotoks (Drake Landing) so that was a significant driver to move too. Okotoks gives us so many more amenities, and way less traffic issues, than Cochrane provides, even today!” she tells New Home + Condo Guide.

“Okotoks is a beautiful community that takes pride in what it can offer – and the mountains are so close and within our view, daily (pending overcast skies) – nature is our friend! I personally find it very refreshing – the residents want to be part of the community,” she adds. new home opTions

The new communities of D’ARCY and Wedderburn by Anthem United are the primary focus of growth in Okotoks. They are the land developer’s third and fourth communities in town, following the enormously successful, and completed Drake Landing.

D’ARCY sits on 280 acres of prime real estate connected by a network of pathways that makes it unique,

as it will be a place that gives its residents a chance to connect and enjoy enriching experiences right outside their back door.

The neighbourhood offers all the big things like future schools and shopping, dining, playgrounds, a skating rink, and a network of connected pathways. It also embraces the smaller details. The curve of D’ARCY’s streets reflects the view line to the mountains.

Like D’ARCY, Wedderburn is named after one of Okotoks’ storied farming families.

Wedderburn is a 160-acre subdivision that will be home to over 1,200 residents, feature a school site, central park space and a future vibrant mixed-use destination known as Gateway Village.

Both offer a wide variety of home styles at attainable prices. More than that they offer convenience as the two communities – just across the road from one another in northern Okotoks – are just 15 minutes away from Calgary.

D’ARCY has fee-simple townhomes from Partners Development Group, villas, laned homes and front-drive garage homes from some of the best homebuilders in southern Alberta.

While Wedderburn offers paired homes, larger move-up twostorey homes and bungalows.

Townhome emphasis

Launching in 2019 and sold out in spring this year, Arrive D’ARCY, consisting of 74 homes, was the first fee-simple townhome development

by Partners Development Group, featuring a mix of towns and bungalows. These street-oriented townhomes featured exteriors with stone pillars accented by fibre cement board exteriors mixed with premium vinyl, fully landscaped, and fenced rear yards and optional double car garages.

Partners has recently launched Phase II of their street towns being built in the next phase of 26 New Home + Condo Guide | Sept. 17–Oct. 15, 2021

D’ARCY Paired Showhome Parade

D’ARCY that offer affordable bungalows starting in the low $420’s and townhomes starting in the $380s. They are also continuing development in Drake Landing for stacked 2- and 3-bedroom townhomes, and these will be rentals.

“This growing community needs diversified housing, so we are working towards that need. All certified BuiltGreen ™ as well, which we are very proud to be a member for 11 years now,” Mahon says.

best fish and chips this side of the UK. And Heartland Café is at the very heart of Okotoks’ historic and charming Old Towne on Main Street.

The Sheep River Provincial Park is there for quiet walks that are sure to rejuvenate the soul with its natural beauty. The Big Rock erratic glacier is of course the place to bring visitors to and is where the town gets its name. And catching a Dawgs baseball game has become one of the hottest tickets in town during the season.

Tons To see and do

Okotoks may seem like a sleepy southern Alberta town to those new to it, but it offers a wide range of recreational and entertainment opportunities.

Cawthorn says there’s great places for dining near their Wedderburn and D’ARCY communities, including Jerry’s at D’Arcy Ranch Golf Club. They feature casual elegant dining experience offering chef inspired dishes. They have a Patio Menu, a Breakfast Menu and a Dine-In Menu.

Big Sky BBQ just outside D’ARCY’s gates offer an authentic taste of a Texas barbecue. They smoke only the freshest meat every single day, as they claim to sell out every single day.

The British Chippy is an institution in town serving the

a local’s Tips

Mahon has a huge list of favourites in Okotoks too. “We love Heartland Café as our favourite – gorgeous presentation and very very delicious; and the family that owns/runs it are lovely people!

Okotoks has all the “typical chains” as well, but the few truly “local” restaurants that are found here are quaint and special! Hub Town Brewing Company opened over the last couple of years and that is a pretty happening place!”

The Sasktoon Berry Farm is a must for its fresh food and they have U Picks too, Mahon adds.

“I always come home with berry pies” Okotoks has a museum and lots of art galleries too; and there are lots of golfing options in and around town.

COMMUNITY PROFILE | PARTNERS DEVELOPMENT GROUP

PARTNERS FOR LIFE IN OKOTOKS

by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ

Partners Development Group is a big believer in Okotoks, so big that they had moved their head office to this town just south of Calgary.

Now, the renowned development company is proving their faith in the town once again as they release ARRIVE D’Arcy II. This is the follow-up to their highly successful development, ARRIVE D’Arcy, the first townhome development in the young community of D’ARCY by Anthem United. These no-condo-fee townhomes had been such a hit for the easy turnkey lifestyle they offered, and proved popular among young families, couples and downsizers.

Arrive D’Arcy II will have the same friendly ambience with its line of no-condo-fee bungalow and two-storey street towns that

NO CONDO FEES

underline style and functionality in every inch of living space.

“These homes start in the low $400s and have no condo fees,” says Cale Marklund, Marketing Manager at Partners. “We have four different models to choose from ranging from 1,300 to 1,900 square feet.”

Like the previous development, Arrive D’Arcy II is designed to fit in seamlessly with Okotoks’ vision for growth To learn more about our homes, visit our showhome at 30 D’Arcy Blvd and speak with our Sales Manager Jason Perri, or email the team at darcy@partnershomes.ca

ADVICE | CALGARYISM

5 WAYS TO PREPARE YOUR HOME FOR THE COLDER SEASONS #3 – SEAL UP AIR LEAKS

CODY BATTERSHILL With Fall and Winter upon us, it’s a good idea to begin thinking about how we can protect our homes from the cold. Here are a few simple, yet affordable ways you can prepare your home for chilly temperatures this coming Fall and Winter. #1 – CLEAR YOUR GUTTERS

Your roof’s drainage system diverts water from your house’s exterior and foundation walls, so it’s vital to keep this system clear and in check. Clogged gutters can result in damaged exterior surfaces and water seeping into the basement, issues that could be made much worse by freezing temperatures and expanding ice. #2 – INSPECT YOUR ROOF

A leaky roof could turn from an annoyance into a disaster real quick once the chilly snowfall and winter winds are here. So first, perform a roof inspection, checking the integrity of ridge shingles and metal flashing in valleys and around vents and chimneys. Also, look at your gutters for accumulations of granules, a sign that your shingles are deteriorating. Ensure you then take the necessary steps to fix any leaks in your roof before it’s too late, and please, always make sure to use the proper safety equipment and procedures while performing any of these tasks!

30 New Home + Condo Guide | Sept. 17–Oct. 15, 2021

Gaps in caulk and weatherstripping let cold air into your home, shooting up heating costs when it gets chilly outside. Inspect any windows and doors for air drafts that could be prevented with the right supplies from your local home department store. Ask a representative at the store for their advice on which caulking/ weatherstripping would work best given your situation at home. #4 – PROTECT FAUCETS AND WATER SYSTEMS

Calgary weather is more than cold enough to burst your pipes if water remains in outdoor faucets and irrigation systems. These systems can also be expensive to replace when damaged by ice, so make sure that you clear them well in advance before freezing temperatures are here. In Calgary, it could be below zero well before Halloween, so it’s always best to do this task as soon as you can! #5 – CHECK YOUR FURNACE

Furnace filters trap dust that would otherwise be distributed throughout your house. Clogged filters make it difficult for your furnace to regulate your home’s temperature, thus increasing your energy bills. Clean your filters every four to six weeks (vacuums work well) to ensure your furnace is operating at maximum capacity, and replace the filters at least every three months. Also, consider getting your furnace inspected by a professional who will look for things like overall performance, noisy belts and

erratic behaviour. Make sure to book well in advance!

Maintain Your Home’s Value Preparing your home for the cold will help to better maintain its value over the long run, and you’ll be in a better off position when it’s time to sell your property in Calgary. It takes only a few moments to perform many of these tasks listed above, and you’ll be happy you did!

Wishing you and your family all the best!

COMMUNITY PROFILE | ARBOUR LAKE WEST

LIVE THE DREAM IN

ARBOUR LAKE WEST

by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ

A ready-made lifestyle is not something a lot of new communities can boast of, but a fulfilling, well-balanced living is just what Arbour Lake West can offer.

Developed by Hopewell Residential, this young northwest community comes already complete with all the amenities needed to enjoy life. Unlike many new communities on the edges of the city where it can take years to even have a nearby grocery, Arbour Lake West is nestled in a part of Calgary where life is already happening.

First of all, it is a lake community and residents of Arbour Lake West have access to the 10-acre, 20-footdeep Arbour Lake and all its 36 New Home + Condo Guide | Sept. 17–Oct. 15, 2021

recreational opportunities.

Secondly, there are all the extra amenities that usually take years to complete in new suburban communities – schools, shopping, entertainment and commercial venues already abound nearby.

Lastly, is its accessibility - and not just its accessibility of its location surrounded by major thoroughfares like Stoney Trail and Crowchild Trail – but the accessibility its new home designs and prices offer to a wide range of homebuyers.

“We’re getting a lot of buyers who are already familiar with this northwest area and are looking for move-up homes and see the new designs of our front-drive homes fit their lifestyle needs,” says Jerry

Trgina, Marketing Manager at Hopewell Residential.

And it’s not just move-up homebuyers, but downsizers and first-time homebuyers too. “Many find the low-maintenance lifestyle of that living in Arbour Lake West offers as a big reason to move here,” he adds.

Its central location means less time needed to travel for groceries and other necessities, and the abundance of recreational opportunities– from community parks, playgrounds and pathways to the nearby YMCA complex – means residents don’t need to go too far away to get fit or get kids to burn off excess energy.

Hopewell Residential is the land developer and exclusive

homebuilder in Arbour Lake West and their vision to create a familyfriendly suburban enclave in the northwest is taking shape quickly.

The energy is palpable with all the construction activity going on.

“But since we are located in an already well-established part of the city, residents really only have to deal with very limited construction traffic,” he points out.

Being the sole homebuilder has also afforded Hopewell Residential the luxury of maintaining a streetscape that adheres to its aesthetic vision for Arbour Lake West and its 158 single-family homes on build out will have a distinct modern country and arts and crafts appearance.

The wide variety of front-drive garage homes that Hopewell Residential offers here is also a big component of Arbour Lake West’s success. There are eight new designs of two-storey and bungalow front-drive garage homes here starting from the $600,000s.

Hopewell also allows for a wide latitude in personalizing homes to fit the needs of the buyer, with more options for upgraded finishings.

Designed for growing families, Hopewell Residential’s line of frontdrive garage homes in Arbour Lake West can have up to five bedrooms and three full baths. Options to develop basements and install

private access side entrances have also become popular additions to their homes here.

“We actually have a limited-time promotion right now to include basement developments as part of the package,” Trgina says. “It’s an ideal and affordable way to get the most out of your home.”

Hopewell Residential opened the Luna showhome here recently and it has been quite the hit. It is an ideal home plan for families of all sizes that can accommodate up to five bedrooms, and offers special options like a spice kitchen, dens and home offices and more.

“This floorplan is one-of-akind. It’s practical, yet stylish, with dozens of optional layouts, along with the opportunity for investment with a well-planned legal basement suite option,” Trgina says.

The new show home showcases designer-curated finishing’s and high-end standards straight from Hopewell’s own DesignSense Selections team.

“The inspiration was a combination of warm and midcentury design and was finished with gold light fixtures, gorgeous walnut wood, oversized windows and beautiful décor to tie it all together,” said Diane Chrusciel, DesignSense Selections Manager at Hopewell Residential.

The Luna show home showcases two of Hopewell’s most popular palettes: Timber and Metro, and incorporates must-haves like study-from-home stations, a private flex room on the main floor, plenty of storage, and more.

“Arbour Lake West is such a desirable community for all types of families - large, small and multi-generational alike. That is why we chose to build our spacious and multi-generational Luna show home in this established and amenity-abundant neighbourhood,” Trgina says.

Creekstone Towns

StreetSide launches new program and more exciting developmentS

by PePPer rodriguez Facing challenges is nothing new at StreetSide Developments. Even during the pandemic-induced lockdowns and the slow economy prevailing in Calgary, this award-winning builder has always come through for its customers.

For over 70 years StreetSide, combined with Qualico, have traversed Calgary’s sometimes rough and unpredictable market with their laser focus on customer care and by offering a wide and varied range of condos and townhomes to suit all styles and budgets. The ability to procure prime locations in some of the best communities of the city, with special attention on build quality, is an important facet in their success, as well.

Their latest, Red Embers Point, features three- to four-bedroom townhomes with surface level parking, single car garage or double car garage opens in Redstone this fall. This project will complement the already popular new North East of Qualico’s popular Redstone community.

Creekstone Towns in the majestic community of Hudson in Creekstone is another development coming down the pipeline in the booming southwest in October.

44 New Home + Condo Guide | Sept. 17–Oct. 15, 2021

Already up and running and selling fast is Konekt in Inglewood, which brings StreetSide back to this historic inner-city community, presenting affordable and stylish apartment condos in one of the trendiest neighbourhoods in town.

And just this Summer they introduced Harmony Park, StreetSide’s highly anticipated no-condo-fee executive townhomes in the award-winning lakeside community of Harmony.

In addition to developing a vast array of homes, StreetSide has bundled all of their rich history of building expertise and value into a program called StreetSide Certified that will allow new home buyers to realize the full potential of homeownership!

Max Conrad, Marketing Manager at StreetSide Developments, says they launched the StreetSide Certified Program to showcase how we offer the best value in the market.

“Our StreetSide Certified Program encompasses all of the value StreetSide offers our homeowners,” he says. “From the development and construction process to our after-sales support, StreetSide Certified provides potential homeowners so much more than other multi-family builders simply don’t or can’t offer.”

The program itself is a onestop-shop for information on StreetSide and their processes - it is designed to guide homeowners with the information that matters most to them without wading through pages and pages of collateral.

“We want to provide our homeowners with peace of mind when they’ve chosen StreetSide to build their new home,” said Max. “StreetSide Certified clearly sets us apart from other builders. It shows how much care, effort, and time we put into every single one of our homes, and homeowners.”

The StreetSide Certified Program has three core components: StreetSide Built, StreetSide Edge, and StreetSide Home.

StreetSide Built includes items such as the design and construction process, sound attenuation, and interior finishes. It involves gaining a clear understanding of the market, ensuring all of the plans and permits are in place and constructing the home to StreetSide Developments’ exacting standards.

StreetSide Edge involves completing a thorough analysis of design and building components, and using Qualico’s vast experience and vertical integration to ensure customers are getting the best price possible in the Calgary marketplace. As well, StreetSide Edge assists with selling your existing home and offers a referral program combined with the new Qualico4Life program .

StreetSide Home includes things like warranties, condo fees, a Move-In Concierge program through Virtuo, and partnerships with Telus and Shaw for TV/ internet packages.

“While all of the items included in the StreetSide Certified Program existed before the program was implemented,” Conrad explains, “We needed to streamline all of the components into a package

that better served our current and future homeowners. Giving them confidence when selecting us as their builder,” he says.

“By offering StreetSide Certified,” he said, “it’s easy to see why we are the best choice when shopping for a townhome or condo in Calgary” For more information, visit streetsidecertified.com. nexthome.ca 45

TRENDING | CALGARY WALKING PATHS

Calgary’s best footpaths Early September can be called the “Goldilocks Time” of the season, when the weather isn’t too hot, nor too cold (yet) and the leaves are just beginning to change colours. This presents the best opportunities to get to know the city and your neighbourhood better by exploring its extensive walking paths. Travel Alberta compiled a list of the best pathway systems to get to know the city a little better. So, lace up those walking shoes and stroll your way to some amazing discoveries. You can find the original article at travelalberta. com with helpful maps to guide you.

WALK 1: STANLEY PARK AND ELBOW RIVER PATHWAYS

Stanley Park is the starting point for this 7.5 km (4.7 mi) Elbow River walkabout. The riverside views are ever-changing, from beavers to groups of rafters to gorgeous homes. Graze your way up the Saskatoon berry slopes of the Britannia neighbourhood and then take a detour to Britannia Plaza for a scoop of habit-forming Village Ice cream or coffee at Monogram Café. Back on the escarpment path, watch for bald eagles soaring 46 New Home + Condo Guide | Sept. 17–Oct. 15, 2021

at eye’s view before you descend and then climb to River Park, where the ultimate river-valley-downtown view is your reward. Detour to Bell’s Bookstore & Café to pick up a snack, and then navigate Elbow Park’s architecturally diverse streets. A stand-out Rideau Garden is the big finish!

WALK 2: CALGARY DOWNTOWN, SUNNYSIDE, CRESCENT HEIGHTS, BRIDGELAND, EAST VILLAGE RIVER WALK

This seven or 11 km (4.3 mi to 6.8 mi) walk begins at the glassy,

swirling, sloping masterpiece that is the Calgary Central Library.

Walk back in time through the surrounding neighbourhood, which is where Calgary began.

“Head” inside the public art of Wonderland at the Bow Tower before joining the Bow River Pathway while en route to the Peace Bridge, Calgary’s cultural icon. Bright red with a unique design, it pays homage

to the Canadian flag. The neighbourhood of Sunnyside, with garage art, gargoyles and the tasty Vendome Café, leads to Crescent Heights and epic views of the Canadian Rockies, the Bow River and towering skyscrapers. Grab picnic supplies at the Bridgeland Market and stop in at St. Patrick’s Island. Or grab lunch to go from Sidewalk Citizen and sit along the River Walk; a perfect spot to be part of the city.

S.W., home to more local shops and food hotspots. Yann Haute Patisserie, in the bright yellow house, is a must-visit for melt-inyour-mouth pastries and crusty breads. Simply the best!

WALK 3: ROXBORO, MISSION, MOUNT ROYAL, 17 AVENUE

Calgary’s urban vibe is loud and clear on this 7.5 km (4.7 mi) walk that begins in Roxboro, where a hidden pathway leads to the Elbow River Pathway and into the vibrant walking streets of the Beltline.

Follow the 13 Avenue Heritage Greenway to Central Memorial Park; food trucks await. Looking for a patio and some nourishment?

Grab a pint at the Ship and Anchor, a Calgary mainstay perfect for people-watching, or get your caffeine fix from Analog Coffee.

Finish off with an indulgent scoop of Made By Marcus ice cream. A climb past the impressive homes and gardens of the Mount Royal neighbourhood leads to 4 Street nexthome.ca 47

WALK 4: EAST VILLAGE TO INGLEWOOD LOOP

Walk 1 covered part of East Village, but now it’s time to head in the opposite direction to explore historic Inglewood on this 4.3 km (2.7 mi) loop. But first, coffee.

Grab a drink and a snack at Phil & Sebastian in the Simmons Building to fuel your exploration and then set off along the east portion of the River Walk. You’ll pass Fort Calgary, plenty of Canada Geese and locals floating along the Bow River as you make your way to Inglewood. The path winds past the Deane House restaurant – a fantastic pit-stop if you’re feeling peckish. Continue on to 9 Avenue, main street Inglewood, and 48 New Home + Condo Guide | Sept. 17–Oct. 15, 2021

wander past local shops before turning right onto 10 Street SE. This street curves around to pass The Livery and Inglewood’s signature red barn as well as the National Hotel – now home of The Nash restaurant. Turn right again onto 11 Street SE and make your way to Cold Garden and Ol’ Beautiful, two neighbourhood breweries. Head north on 12 Street SE back to 9 Avenue SE, where you can spend as much time as you’d like exploring the local boutiques that give Inglewood its eclectic character. When you’re ready to loop back, follow 12 Street SE towards the new Zoo Bridge and follow the river to Confluence Plaza at St. Patrick’s Island. Take

your time strolling through this oasis in the city until you cross St. George’s Bridge. Get an unbeatable view of the city as you make your way back to East Village and the Art Walk.

WALK 5: EAU CLAIRE AND KENSINGTON

The northwest end of downtown Calgary is a great starting point for this 2.3 km (1.4 mi) loop. Begin your exploration at Alforno Café & Bakery before moving on to the lush greenspace of Eau Claire Park.

Follow 2 Avenue SW to reach the park and eventually, the Bow River

Pathway. Stop at Poppy Plaza for a quick photo op before crossing Memorial Drive to 10 Street NW. Turn onto Kensington Road NW and taking your time exploring the village in the city. Crave Cupcakes, Higher Ground Café, Pages bookstore, Kensington Pub and Hayden Block Smoke & Whiskey are among the many local favourites. Double

back to return to 10 Street NW and continue north to 2 Avenue NW. Check out containR, an installation as well as pop-up arts and culture hub, along with Vendome Café. Hang a right onto 9 Street NW to make your way back to the Bow River Pathway.

Cross the Peace Bridge and soak in the scenery before arriving back at Eau Claire Park. nexthome.ca 49
