EDITOR’S NOTE

HOT IN FEBRUARY The coldest month of the year has not dampened the Edmonton housing market at all, it seems. Surprising as it has been, given the pandemic and the economic situation, home sales have been quite robust.

There is no shortage of where to buy a new home either and new communities in the Edmonton Metropolitan Area continue to grow and offer a wide range of lifestyle-friendly homes. The city’s push to rejuvenate the more established neighbourhoods nearer the downtown is also getting a lot more attention.

One of these communities is the Village at Griesbach that is turning the former military base into one of the best designed communities to fit tomorrow’s needs. Whether in sustainability, energy efficiency or just plain enjoyability, this Canada Lands Company development certainly has it all.

Learn more in our cover feature this issue.

Village at Griesbach is also part of the effort to revive areas closer to the urban centre. This month’s Trending feature on infills tell us about the efforts of non-profits, infill housing designers and builders and land developers to meet the City’s goal to concentrate 50 per cent of Edmonton’s future growth in these underused areas. Find out how they plan to make this happen.

What better month to talk about master bedroom designs too than when the weather gets colder and romance is in the air for Valentine’s Day? We talk to showhome designers to get their secrets to creating the most comfortable and stylish master bedrooms.

We’ve got more in store inside and throughout the year.

SYDNEY BOND ELECTED AS NEW PRESIDENT OF CHBA – EDMONTON REGION The Canadian Home Builders’ Association – Edmonton Region (CHBA-ER) Association welcomes its newest president, Sydney Bond, even as the organization faces what could be a very challenging year.

Bond is General Manager at Effect Home Builders and has been an active member of the Association, serving on the Builder Technical, Women in Residential Construction, and Government Relations Committees as well as the Board of Directors, most recently serving as the Vice President in 2020.

“2020 was an unprecedented year in many ways and presented even more challenges on our industry members in an already shaky economy. The Association seized that opportunity to advocate for significant process improvements and greater supports from our municipal partners as the City of Edmonton faced expedited transformation,” said Bond.

“I hope that in 2021 we can continue that momentum and move forward focusing on new paths to help continue to grow the Edmonton Region,” said Bond. She also noted that in the more than 65 years, CHBA-ER members have faced a number of challenges in the province and emerged each time stronger, and renewed.

Exploring opportunities for energy efficiency is one particular area that Bond has been consistently

“

Our members have the capacity and the expertise to work in conjunction with Administration to find accessible and affordable solutions to help reach their energy goals,” Bond says.

Bond is looking forward to working with members to help crystalize the new business environment while creating opportunities for growth and innovation.

“I see 2021 as a year for meaningful recovery. Our industry and others have been challenged as the pandemic forced us to rethink how we live and do business. As we move into 2021 our industry members are ready to provide the Edmonton Region with thoughtfully built and healthy homes,” said Bond.

Bond is succeeding Marie Soprovich who will remain on the board in the position of Past President for one year.

Benefits of a Village at Griesbach

,ɚՉɸɗ Community redevelopment helps renew the infrastructure in existing neighbourhoods and revitalizes the area by bringing more families into mature neighbourhoods. Infill brings younger children to older neighbourhoods, keeping schools and public amenities open.

Infill housing makes room for diverse family structures by building spaces for parents, children, grandparents, and renters to co-exist on the same lot.

Homeowners can remain in the neighbourhood they are comfortable in and have many memories.

Pricing on a lot is competitive in a community redevelopment like Village at Griesbach where there is a variety of lots available. Knockdown infill options are often limited in number with higher price tags as a home needs to be removed along with service upgrades.

Proximity to the city core and public transportation established retail, restaurants help create environmental sustainability.

With large green spaces and trees, the community feels established because it is.

INFILL DEVELOPMENT MOVES FORWARD IN EDMONTON

by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword in Edmonton these days. It has certainly become a way of life, and even more importantly, a where to live.

Edmonton is serious about planning much of its future growth along established neighbourhoods and repurposed land or brownfield developments, a City plan is calling for 50 percent of new housing to be infill within existing neighbourhoods.

The massive redevelopment projects of Village at Griesbach and Blatchford may not be infill projects in the truest sense, but the repurposing of the land - the former used to be a military base and the latter was the city’s first airport – follow the tenets of 12

sustainability and Edmonton’s vision for a revitalized urban core.

FUTURE GROWTH

The burgeoning infill industry itself is enjoying tremendous growth as more homebuyers are enticed by the lifestyle – of shorter commutes to work, established and plentiful amenities, and even the presence of mature trees.

Edmonton’s Infill Roadmap notes that supporting residential infill in established neighbourhoods is an important way to help everyone find the right homes in the right communities. It further states that supporting infill is also an important way to sustain established neighbourhoods maintain their vitality and make the best use of existing infrastructure.

Helping fulfill this vision is the Infill Development in Edmonton Association (IDEA), which provides the voice of the city’s infill development industry. “Our purpose is to drive change toward people-centred communities, and we do so through a committed volunteer board and diverse membership, including builders, developers, consultants and community members,” says Chelsey Jersak, IDEA’s vice-president and founder and principal of Situate, a boutique urban strategy firm based in Edmonton.

WHAT’S AN INFILL?

“We commonly refer to ‘an infill’ as a skinny house, but ‘infill’ is actually a much broader term than

most people realize. It refers to the creative reuse or transformation of land and buildings in existing parts of the city, and it can look like all kinds of things: new single detached houses, row houses, and apartment buildings in existing areas of the city are all forms of infill,” Jersak says.

Mick Graham is a past president of IDEA and has had a vast and varied experience in the industry. He started Singletree Builders in 2012 because he realized that many of Edmonton’s mature neighbourhoods needed rejuvenation and continues to take an active role in the shaping of these communities.

“Most people choose to live in infills because of the amenities that mature neighbourhoods offer.

For example, established schools, parks and community leagues, ready access to public transit, a short commute to downtown, and close proximity to the ravine and river valley park system,” he tells Edmonton New Home + Condo Guide.

Cost is one of the biggest hurdles to infill growth, as new homes in the suburbs are invariably less expensive than building closer to downtown.

“If you compared the cost of a house in a new subdivision to an identical house in a mature neighbourhood, the infill house would cost between $100,000 and $125,000 more,” Graham says. “Most of the difference is due to the cost of the land but other factors include the cost of asbestos removal and demolition of the existing house, the cost of a new water and sewer service in the case of a lot split.”

Jersak says one of the solutions could be to increase density.

“It’s actually really important for infill to become more affordable and more accessible for more people. This can be achieved in

OCHELLER BY RED BRICK

URBAN SKY

part by building multiple units on lots where, in the past, we would have seen just one house. There are interesting row housing and stacked row housing concepts that can work well for this purpose.”

CHALLENGES TO GROWTH

Jersak and Graham say IDEA is calling on the City to remove barriers to infill housing to bring down prices.

“The City needs to change its land use bylaws to encourage more infill,” Graham says. There are huge hurdles to overcome – including inherent NIMBYism

(Not In My Backyard) where people who have lived in the older neighbourhoods for a long time are understandably resistant to change.

“It’s normal for people to become attached to where they live. One of the things IDEA is trying to do is to encourage conversations about how these kinds of changes can have a positive impact on a neighbourhood,” Graham says.

There is a definite need to update the homes in the downtown core says Urbis Infill’s Mike Arndt. nexthome.ca 13

URBIS INFILL

“With a majority of our housing stock in mature neighbourhoods needing major renovations or to be replaced altogether, coupled with the fact that our demographics have shifted drastically with families and households that come in all shapes and sizes, we need the real estate industry to respond to the needs and wants of people today,” he says. “For example, homes with open concept, lots of natural light, high ceilings and zero asbestos are items on most Edmontonians’ wish lists today that are not represented in our existing housing stock.”

VILLAGE FEEL

Tom Keogh of Urban Sky Developments, an infill home designer and builder, has always thought that rejuvenating the established neighbourhoods with new infill housing was a great idea as it comes with a ready-made village feel.

“You get an instant urban community and lifestyle. Buyers get the opportunity to identify an urban community that has the right ‘vibe & look’, almost like a ‘small town’ feel that gives a real sense of belonging,” he says. “It also gives you a feeling that “I can make a difference” in your closer-knit community, with your neighbours, community Council, landscaping, volunteering, etc.”

ENCORE MASTER BUILDER

For those looking to live the infill lifestyle in a more affordable manner, they can check out a couple of newer brownfield redevelopments closer to the urban core – Blatchford and Village at Griesbach.

BASE REDEVELOPMENT

Village at Griesbach is a major redevelopment effort going on close to downtown, converting what was then the CFB Edmonton (Canadian Forces Base).

Developed by the Canada Lands Company (CLC), the “Village” is ideally located 12 minutes from city centre at the intersection of 97 Street and 137 Avenue.

Its innovative “urban village” design is one of the world’s best examples of this development concept which places the health and happiness of people over the transportation efficiency of automobiles.

The “Village” features greater Edmonton’s finest collection of beautiful new homes, plus an incredible array of passive and recreational amenities. It is greater Edmonton’s only neighbourhood to receive four Awards of Excellence for Best Development in just six years.

“Developing on a former military base ensures that the legacy of the military base remains intact, recognized, and honoured, while still bringing urbanization

to the community that supports the economy in the area,” says Georgette L’Hirondelle, Marketing Manager, Real Estate, at CLC. The “Village” fits in with Edmonton’s infill goals, too, she adds. “Infill is sustainable both environmentally and socially, and it helps create a bustling and vibrant community. It is so important to commemorate the naming of the streets from the rich history of the Village’s site and to leave this legacy for many generations to come.”

The “Village” offers both multifamily and single-family homes, they range from the mid $200’s for condominiums to the mid $300’s for single-family townhomes, and up to over $800’s for a single-family attached garage and detached garage homes.

“People buy in Griesbach for the neighbourhood, the sense of community, the many parks and amenities, and the proximity to the downtown core,” L’Hirondelle says.

“Village at Griesbach is known for its’ architectural styles, which create the physical environment in which people live.

NEW DEVELOPMENT CLOSE TO DOWNTOWN

Blatchford sits on 536 acres of prime land in the heart of Edmonton. It used to be the site of the province’s first airport and is now being redeveloped into a

BLATCHFORD

URBAN SKY

modern community for 30,000 residents based on a sustainable lifestyle.

Blatchford will be made up of two primarily residential spaces on the east and west side of the site, along with a town centre that will be packed full of life, an 80-acre central park, plenty of additional green space and a civic plaza. With all your daily needs in easy reach, Blatchford will almost be a city within a city.

“Blatchford combines the best of urban living with local neighbourhood charm,” says Tom Lumsden, Blatchford’s development manager. “This master planned community will connect homes with shops, great parks, walkable streets and community amenities. By combining the best of ‘peoplefirst’ design principles with leading

sustainability practices, Blatchford will offer home buyers a truly unique lifestyle experience not available anywhere else in our city.”

Like IDEA, Lumsden believes the development and redevelopment of new and existing neighbourhoods is critical for the continued growth of the city.

“It will be a critical part of how we accommodate future growth and contribute to a healthy, urban, and climate resilient city that supports a prosperous region.

Infill ensures all neighbourhoods have a range of housing choices, it supports an increasing number of people wanting to live in our core neighbourhoods and it maximizes the use of existing infrastructure,” he says.

In fact, he says the City’s density and infill goals go hand-in-hand with Blatchford. “A project like Blatchford is key to realizing our vision for Edmonton’s future as captured in The City Plan: Planning for our future, creating a vibrant city, caring for the environment and providing Edmontonians with a great quality of life.”

Blatchford offers a wide range of multi-family homes and Lumsden says they start selling in the $525,000 range.

“This is a similar price to new homes in the neighboring communities. As the community

develops and more product type is brought to market by our builders, we anticipate seeing a wider range of prices in the neighbourhood.”

One of those builders is Ocheller

by RedBrick which offers the Nest8 townhomes. “We have believed in Blatchford since day one and the vision for a sustainable community in the heart of Edmonton. We believe that this is an incredible opportunity to build housing that will change the Canadian housing industry and transform Edmontonian’s views of what their housing should be,” says RedBrick’s Tegan Martin-Drysdale.

She adds that buyers can take comfort that they are contributing to the building of a more sustainable city. “All our townhomes come with options for secondary suites,” she adds.

Whether in the traditional infill sense or whether as a brownfield redevelopment like Blatchford and Village at Griesbach, there is much more to look forward to in Edmonton’s infill plans. And the future does look bright, but more work needs to be done, Jersak says.

“Basically, more people need to want to live close to each other and close to walkable amenities, as to see that as something to aspire to. More people need to ask for it, too: ask the City, ask builders, developers, realtors. Collectively we can make it a reality,” she says.

CHBA EDMONTON ECONOMIC FORECAST

WHAT’S HAPPENING The Canadian Homebuilders’ Association – Edmonton Region held their annual Economic Forecast on January 7th. The virtual event offered key insights from Felicia Mutheardy, Chief Corporate Economist with the City of Edmonton, as well as Robert Hogue, Senior Economist from the Royal Bank of Canada. The discussion included information regarding Canadians unexpectedly building up their savings at record setting levels over the last year – likely due to fewer opportunities to spend during lockdowns and increased government aid. Appealing interest rates are expected to stay low until 2022, and the appetite for finding a home that meets adjusted lifestyle needs will likely lead to a steady residential real estate market this year.

Regionally, housing starts are expected to stay low province wide and stronger sales activity are projected to tighten demand-supply conditions in 2021. For more information about the Canadian Homebuilders Association visit chbaedmonton.ca

EXPLORE FORT SASKATCHEWAN!

by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ

It’s a little bit country, and it’s a little bit rock and roll!

Fort Saskatchewan has certainly grown into a thriving, bustling city, but still retains a lot of the pioneering spirit it was founded on.

The city – lovingly known to locals as just The Fort – has become popular for its flock of sheep that it has used for turf control for nearly three decades now.

They can be seen roaming the downtown and river valley keeping the grass trim and giving the city just 30 kilometres northeast of Edmonton a warm, friendly feel.

Fort Saskatchewan’s population of nearly 27,000 people in 2019 is a 2.3 per cent increase from just the year before, and its rapid growth has necessitated the City in annexing 952 hectares of land from neighbouring Strathcona County just last year.

Despite the growth, there is a quaint, relaxed lifestyle that can be found here, but there is also an electric liveliness that residents also get to enjoy. The historic Shell Theatre in the downtown provides the setting for exciting live performances, the thriving Chamber of Commerce Farmers’ Market in the summer months attracts visitors from far and wide, and the Fort Heritage Precinct celebrates the pioneer city’s distinct culture and history.

Progress is evident everywhere in the city, most especially in the new communities that are being developed providing a wide array of housing options.

Qualico Communities Edmonton are developing Forest Ridge and Sienna, while Landrex offer Windsor Pointe and WestPark.

Forest Ridge in WestPark offers natural green spaces, playgrounds, lush parks and scenic walking paths. While Sienna residents enjoy a peaceful setting complete with parks, trails, a playground and a beautiful pond.

In the southwest corner of Fort Saskatchewan lies Windsor Pointe, a unique community where “home” includes the great outdoors. WestPark is Fort

WESTPARK SIENNA

Saskatchewan’s most popular family neighbourhood.

This master-planned community features premium lifestyle amenities and community appointments that enhance home values and owner satisfaction.

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

DISCOVER River Valley www.fortsask.ca Founded on the south bank of the North Saskatchewan river, it is no wonder that the River Valley remains a big part of life here and

a major source of pride in the community. In a 2017 survey of more than 2300 residents, the river valley trails ranked second as what part of Fort Saskatchewan respondents were

most proud of. A close-knit, friendly community was first!

The extensive trail system spans 19 kilometres and includes trails perfect for cycling, walking or jogging.

DINE Bear’s Den 9923 102 Street, Fort Saskatchewan Bearsdensportsbar.com The popular sports bar is closed for dine-in right now due to the pandemic lockdown, but pick-up and delivery orders are still available for their delicious bar chow that includes a gluten-free menu. They are the biggest sports bar in the Fort and able to seat 340 people. It offers many amenities including 28 HD TVs with great surround sound, upstairs lounge with sectional leather couches, pool tables, VLT’s, games. They can’t wait to welcome everyone again.

SHOP Tarts n Tiques Eastgate Plaza, 8818-111 Street, Fort Saskatchewan Or find them on Facebook Just over a year since it opened in Dec 11, 2019, this local boutique shop has become a popular shopping destination. “I have 53 local vendors, some antiques plus I order product in from Canadian companies,” says owner Cindy Graham. “I have always been a true believer of supporting local and feel blessed that I am able to showcase all of the local talent we have in our area!” nexthome.ca 23

DESIGNING A

RESTFUL RETREAT

by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ

Relax, rest, recuperate – the master bedroom is the retreat all homeowners need to recover from the everyday bustle, so it is essential that it should look and feel like a place where one can find rejuvenation.

A good chunk of our lives is spent sleeping so it only makes sense that our bedrooms look and feel as intimate, comfortable and pleasing to the eyes.

It takes even more importance these days when – heaven forbid – one gets sick and needs to isolate in the bedroom.

Whatever the case, the master bedroom provides the respite and privacy the homeowner needs. The retreat from the everyday grind that provides rest for our tired bodies and souls.

Notice the attention lavished on the room the next time that you visit a showhome and you will see the invariable hook of inspired design aimed at eliciting an emotional response. A response so powerful that we want to have it for our own bedrooms.

We talk to a couple of Edmonton’s most distinguished builders - Milestone Builder Group and 26

New Home + Condo Guide |

Feb. 5–Mar. 5, 2021

Coventry Homes - on how they approach designing master bedrooms in their showhomes and find out what is essential to complete a stylish, serene look.

Milestone Builder Group shocked the industry last year by sweeping the local, provincial and national awards and their opinion on any home design is valuable. Coventry Homes has been the go-to homebuilder in Edmonton for the past 40 years and is a multiple award winner itself, their showhomes – especially the ones with the Oilers Fan Cave features – are some of the most eye-catching homes around.

BECKONING BOUDOIR

Carla Weinmeyer, Creative Director at Milestone Builder Group, thinks of the master bedroom as a place of escape, where one can “take a deep breath.”

“What better feeling is there than checking in at your destination, walking into that impeccable hotel suite, and plunking your day of travels on that comfy bed. Why should that experience only be reserved for holidays?” she asks.

Coventry Homes

Betty Simcoe, showhome designer at Coventry Homes, has similarly a warm regard for the master bedroom and its importance in our lives.

“I believe that creating a space to recharge and relax is essential in designing your master bedroom.

Everyone has a different idea as to what makes a space serene or comforting. Thinking about what types of items bring you comfort and what it is you like to see and feel when you wake up and when you go to sleep, is a good place to start,” she says.

LIVEN IT UP WITH LINEN

Besides choosing the bed, dressers and furniture to suit your taste, Weinmeyer and Simcoe agree that linens play an important role in establishing the soft, intimate look of the bedroom.

Weinmeyer says linens and fabric play an important role in softening the look of the room and give it a tasteful, restful look. “A restful atmosphere must be simplistic. A room with too much going on activates our senses when we want to chill them out,” she tells Edmonton New Home + Condo Guide. “The challenge with simplicity is it can quickly become dull. The trick here is layering various textures and patterns: mixing velvets, shiny satins, nubby knits, leathers and luxurious faux furs. The more textural elements, the better!”

Simcoe says patterns in fabrics bring fun to the equation. “If you are aiming to achieve a serene

overall look in your bedroom, going with neutral linen like drapery fabric is always a good choice. If you prefer more visual interest, choosing a fabric with some pattern is also fun!”

She does advice to consider window coverings to go with your lifestyle. “This is important based on your needs and your work/life schedule. Consider a black out shade if you have a shift worker using the space or if you prefer natural light, a light filtering roller shade is an option. There is also your classic slat blinds. Playing with natural light and how it enters the room is always key in creating and achieving ambience in your bedroom oasis.”

Simcoe also observes that bedding should be comfortable and inviting. “I like to add some colour and texture with a few decorative pillows and throw blankets. These are easy to change out as the seasons turn or your tastes change and can really have an impact on the overall feel and tone of the room.”

ACCESSORIZE

Weinmeyer says the best way to add visual interest in the bedroom design is through light fixtures, which she considers acts like jewelry in complementing an outfit.

“One of the best ways to add interest in a master bedroom is with fabulous light fixtures. They’re your room’s jewellery and really add the finishing touch.

Whether it’s a chandelier over the bed or pendant nexthome.ca 27

Milestone

lights over the nightstands, the space appears unfinished without great lighting,’ she says.

Simcoe says adding a feature wall also can break the monotony. “The headboard wall is usually the best place to invest in this type of wall treatment as it has the most impact. Some finishes to consider installing on a headboard wall would be feature paint, wallpaper, shiplap, brick, or even vinyl plank or hardwood flooring. Yes! Flooring can be used on walls! You can also create some drama by installing certain materials in different patterns such as chevron or a herringbone pattern. “ She also says wall decals are something to consider in the design of the bedroom. ”If you are looking for something less long term, consider using wall decals.

There are some beautiful products available today that look just like wallpaper but are user friendly and can be installed yourself and removed when you are ready for a change” Art pieces and mirrors are also a good way to accent the room, she adds. “Adding a beautiful floor mirror is both functional and acts as a statement piece of art. I also like to enlarge one or two favorite photos. Framing and hanging these in the space will enhance the room and make the space that much more personable.”

SLEEP ON THIS

For Weinmeyer, creating a hotel-inspired master bedroom is easy, but the important thing is to be neat and tidy.

“First off, declutter. If it doesn’t need to be there, it shouldn’t be, and less is more when it comes to accessories. Add floor to ceiling draperies, and lots of 28

them — you want these to look full, and please make sure they graze the floor; keep the cropped look reserved for your summer pants!”

She also says to layer pillows in different shapes and sizes to add visual interest. “If the texture compels you to touch them, they are perfect. Lastly, I’m a firm believer in memory foam mattress toppers (they are heavenly) and a good set of bamboo sheets which feel like butter. You spend nearly a third of your lives in bed, so go on; you deserve to be wrapped in comfort!”

Simcoe says she would would invest in simple, neutral, classic bedroom furniture. “Changing up bedding and décor will quickly, easily, and affordably give you a fresh look when you are ready for a change. Adding simple touches such as candles, diffusers, plants, or even fresh flowers, will help create that space you can’t wait to be in!”

ADVICE | CHBA EDMONTON

2020 WAS HARD BUT THE HOUSING MARKET FARED WELL

LAURA BRUNO

The past year has been full of unexpected challenges. Many of us were thrilled to see the clock strike midnight on January 1, 2021, marking the end of 2020. Despite a year unlike any other, the housing market fared relatively well.

According to the REALTORS Association of Edmonton, there was a 2.94 per cent increase in sales for 2020 compared to 2019 and the amount of completed and unsold home inventory steadily decreased. Total residential unit sales were up just over 30 per cent in December compared with 2019.

Fall and winter aren’t typically the most popular times for home sales but the pandemic shifted peak activity from the spring to the summer and late into the fall. With the upswing in activity through

the fall, single family home prices had a 4.24 per cent increase yearover-year compared to 2019.

What can you expect for 2021?

Economic recovery will take time and there will be challenges but there are a few indicators that we are moving in the right direction.

The unemployment rate remains high but there has been consistent employment growth. According the Statistics Canada, two thirds of jobs have been recovered in Alberta and population growth is also expected to be positive.

Canadians have been staying home more than ever which has led to an increase in the household saving rate. This time at home has also likely led families to reassess what they want and need from their homes, such as a dedicated home office. Mortgage rates also continue to remain low which is great news for families looking to move into a new home in the near future.

While there is no crystal ball to know what 2021 will

hold, especially in the current landscape, rest assured that the residential construction industry will continue deliver housing to the Edmonton market while maintaining housing choice and affordability.

The Canadian Home Builders’ Association – Edmonton Region is a not-for-profit, volunteer driven organization that has fostered a community for the residential construction industry supporting more than 450 member companies through advocacy, education and recognition.

Laura Bruno is the Chief Executive Officer of CHBA – ER. Laura began her career in land development where she discovered she had a passion for the industry. She started at CHBA – ER in 2018 and has been a strong advocate and champion for the industry since assuming that role.
