ELEGANT, LUXURIOUS WEST83
TOWNHOMES ARE HOT IN 2025
For the aspiring homebuyer in the New Year, there’s a new phase for Trico Homes’ hit West83 townhomes where they can start a new life in.
Fashionable and spacious townhomes for modern living, West83 offers the ultimate, stylish lifestyle in this much sought after corner of Calgary’s southwest.
West83 has been a big hit for Trico Homes, as the first 75-townhome phase is all but sold out, a stellar feat considering that it only launched about a year ago. But that’s not such a surprise considering that buyers are raving of its elegant, luxurious design and prime location in the heart of a quiet, amenity-rich, and upscale neighbourhood.
“Our vision for West83 sets a new standard on the west end: it’s an effortlessly cool, timeless style that will ensure sophistication and livability
for years to come,” says Area Sales Manager Adam Zymirski.
Phase 2, which will also comprise of 75 townhomes, comes just in time as the initial phase only has eight quick possession homes remaining. “Phase 1 is 95 percent sold, and the entire phase will be construction complete in March 2025. Phase 2 was just released and is starting construction in January 2025,” Zymirski says.
AT THE HEART OF IT ALL
Location is a big part of West83’s appeal, as it is in the heart of West Springs, Calgary’s Trendiest New Neighbourhood, with the very best shops, dining, fitness studios, schools, and services.
Nestled on rolling hills above downtown Calgary, West83 fits in nicely, as West Springs is already
home to a prestigious collection of upscale residences and urban amenities.
“With Stoney Trail access now only two kilometres away, a brand new Sobey’s opening soon just two blocks away, it offers plenty of convenience and accessibility. Everything is within walking distance,” Zymirski says.
“Downtown Calgary is also just 20 minutes away via Bow Trail. There’s no need to contend with traffic on Deerfoot Trail heading north or deep into the south. On the weekends, if you’re ready for some alpine adventure, you’ve got a head start on the rest of the city, with the TransCanada Highway and points west just minutes away.”
West 83 is also surrounded by five schools, including some of the best schools in the city. “We have many buyers who want to live here for
access to the surrounding schools,” he adds.
PROFESSIONALLY STYLED
Trico knew how special West83 was going to be, and collaborated with Calgary’s own interior design celebrity, Alykhan Velji, to curate the stylish and timeless look of these beautiful townhomes.
Renowned in Canada’s design scene, Aly is known as a master of mixing styles, patterns and textures to create unique interior spaces and environments that extend beyond current trends and retain an enduring appeal.
The two showhomes not only reflect Aly’s stylish sensibilities, but
also Trico’s expertise when it comes to well-designed living spaces for townhomes.
“The standard specification offered at West83 are elevated with features included such an open railing, all window coverings included, oversized balconies, and all appliances included,” Zymirski says.
gest draw has been the total lifestyle package offered in West83.
“We offer the best value per squarefoot in the whole West Springs community for new townhomes, and it’s an incredible opportunity to be a part of an already well-established community. There are so many exciting things happening in the community that homebuyers today
will enjoy seeing how much their value will increase,” Zymirski adds.
“We are only a one block walk to 85th Street and the future Radio Park & Broadcast Avenue.”
DESIGNED FOR MODERN LIVING
West83 offers townhomes ranging in size from 15-, 17- and up to 20-feet in width. Two- and three-bedroom models are available.
Having such a wide variance in floorplans allows West 83 to appeal to as wide a range of buyers as possible.
“We have three different floors plans: small, medium, and large. This is appealing for first-time home buyers, as well as downsizing families that are moving from homes that are over 2,000 square-feet,” Zymirski says.
There are three different townhome models, ranging in size from 1,290 to over 1,800-square-feet. Prices start from $589,900 including GST,” he adds.
A new colour palette, Spanish Modern, is being introduced exclusively in the new phase, with three options to enable buyers to select the style that suits them best.
“Every one of our three models can add an entry level den option,” he says.
“We have homes with south, north and west exposure, so come in early to get the home that fits you,” Zymirski adds.
A RANGE OF CHOICES
Available are the Emerson at 1,290 square-feet; the Granville at 1,381 square-feet; and the Oakwood at 1,822 square-feet. The Emerson and Granville are double tandem garages, which measure approximately 36-feet long and 12-feet wide.
“These tandem garages are very spacious and allow for two-car parking as well as storage. The Oakwood has a double wide attached garage (19.3- by 20.9-feet) with high ceilings.”
Zymirski says prices are very attractive starting in the high $500’s for the Emerson, low $600’s for the Granville, and $770,000 for the Oakwood, GST included.
“Our nearest competitors only have one model, which is comparable to our Oakwood, but is more expensive and is 116 square-feet smaller,” he points out.
Top notch standards are also a big part of the appeal. “Purchasers are pleasantly surprised that our homes come standard with high quality blinds to every window, metal spindle railing on all levels, under cabinet lighting, appliances, full height cabinets, 1-¼-inch Quartz throughout, and the list goes on,” he says.
Other popular options available include turning the office into a tandem garage for either the Emerson or Granville, or adding an entry level bedroom/bathroom for the Oakwood to convert this into a four-bedroom and three-and-ahalf-bathroom home, Zymirski says.
MODERN SHOWHOMES
The Oakwood showhome features an entry level bed/bath option with the Refined Rustic colour palette, while the Granville showhome features the dark and moody colour palette. “This allows our visitors to view two of the three palettes we now offer. The Emerson, which we don’t have a showhome for, is just a bit smaller than the Granville and has a very similar layout,” he adds.
High ceilings with oversized windows add to the feeling of freedom and spaciousness, the wall mount oven and microwave option in the showhome brings sophisticated elegance to the proceedings, and the LVP flooring through most of the living spaces adds stylish, sturdy comfort. West 83 answers plenty of buyers’ needs. “We see a lot of downsizers from the surrounding areas, as well as young professionals and families that are wanting to own a home in West Springs. Due to our proximity to downtown, universities, grocery, schools, mountains, as well as many restaurants and gyms, our homes and location appeal to a wide variety of people.”

Genesis gives joy
Genesis Builders Group (Genesis) proudly celebrated the fourth year of its “Gives Joy” campaign, an initiative dedicated to supporting local charities across Calgary and the surrounding area. From November 1 to December 31, 2024, Genesis donated $1,000 for every townhome and $2,500 for every single-family home sold, with proceeds benefiting essential local charities, including the Airdrie Food Bank, Veterans Association Food Bank, Calgary Food Bank, Women In Need Society,
Calgary Region Foster and Kinship Association, and Trellis Society.
“Another year is coming to a close and the holiday season reminds us how lucky we are to spend time with our family, friends, and community,” said Mike deBoer, Vice President, Homebuilding at Genesis Builders Group. “We understand that many are going through tough times right now, and there is no better way to give joy than by helping those in need.”
Over the past four years, the Genesis “Gives Joy” campaign has
generated $192,000 for various organizations.

THREE EXCITING
NEW COMMUNITIES COMING TO CALGARY IN 2025
CODY BATTERSHILL
Calgary has many new and exciting upcoming communities with much to offer potential buyers. From Heartwood on the brim of the southeast to Starling in the north, Calgary’s expanding residential neighbourhoods mean you’ll have even more choice when buying a new construction property this coming year.
If you’re considering moving to a new Calgary community in 2025, here are a few excellent options that may interest you depending on your real estate goals!
STARLING
• Brookfield Residential
• North District
Starling is a new community in the North District by Brookfield Residential that will eventually be home to 2,000 single-family properties and 300 multi-family residences and will take about a decade or more to complete.
This masterplanned neighbourhood has much to offer, including an impressive array of nearby day-to-day amenities and handy in-community features such as future schools, parks, and shopping districts. Starling duplex home prices begin in the mid $500,000s and go up from there (subject to change), offering a relatively affordable opportunity for buyers.
HEARTWOOD
• Rohit Communities and Bedrock Homes
• Southeast District
Heartwood is another exciting new community development by a tandem of reputed developers. Located in the southeast quadrant adjacent to the South Calgary Health Campus, Brookfield Residential YMCA, and the Seton Gateway Retail District, residents won’t have to venture far from home to find the day-to-day amenities they need.
Construction activity started in December 2024 and Heartwood’s first home occupancies are scheduled for 2025. Rohit is on track to officially launch Rohit’s first Calgary community Spring 2025. Once complete, the new community will host approximately 2,000 residences and offer townhouses, duplexes, lane homes,zero lot homes, and front-attach garages. Community amenities like the playground, park, and pond will be completed prior to the community’s opening.
SORA
• Melcor
• Southeast District
A subdivision of Hotchkiss, Sora is another new master-planned community coming soon to Calgary’s southeast. Developed by Melcor, and with builds from some of our city’s top builders including Sterling Homes, Douglas Homes, and Homes by AVI, the neighbourhood has a lot to offer
potential buyers including abundant parks, serene walking paths, and captivating wetland scenery.
The community boasts relatively affordable new construction properties compared to their counterparts around the city, with front-detached garages starting in the mid-$600s, and laned homes in the high $500s (subject to change).
MORE NEW COMMUNITIES TO COME
As Calgary continues to grow, homebuyers have an abundance of exciting options to choose from in new communities. Be sure to do your due diligence and consult with a trusted REALTOR in Calgary to help navigate your real estate goals effectively.
Wishing you all the best in your new home search in 2025 and beyond!

NEW NORTHWEST GET EXCITED IN THE
There’s a new vibrancy coursing through Northwest Calgary, as more new homeowners choose to make this amenity-rich, family-friendly sector the place to set roots in.
In fact, there’s so much going on that we are taking a second look in the area in this issue. Last month, we focused more on the north part of the northwest with Ambleton, Ambleridge and Livingston communities, among others. Now were putting a spotlight on the west part of the northwest.
There is an exciting batch of new developments here, like Upper Greenwich that just held its grand opening, and Osprey Hill that recently broke ground. University District remains hot with new retail establishments going in, even as Jayman BUILT and Crystal Creek Homes unveil their newest residential developments here.
by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ
There’s also the more established Rockland Park and Crestmont View that offer stunning nature backdrops. Arbour Lake West is growing around an already established lake community.
It’s this diverse offering of homeowning opportunities and lifestyle that has fuelled the growth of the Northwest and it’s not about to stop. We spoke with some of the most active residential community developers in the area to get their perspective on what is making the northwest so desirable today.
OSPREY HILL
Avi Land is elevating Calgary’s west landscape with its unique and exciting new community: Osprey Hill. Set atop a hillside on the south side of the Trans-Canada highway just west of WinSport, this new community promises to bring a new vibrancy to living in the area.
“People are drawn to Osprey Hill because it offers a unique combination of natural beauty, active living, and convenient access to both urban and outdoor adventures,” says Homes by Avi Senior Marketing Specialist, Marni Chenier. Avi Land is the land development division of the Homes by Avi group.
“The community’s location next to WinSport’s Canada Olympic Park provides residents with direct residential road access to WinSport for year-round recreational activities such as skiing, ice skating, mountain biking, and sports training. Nearby amenities like Calgary Climbing Centre, the Calgary Gymnastics Centre, Valley Ridge Golf Club, and Bowness Park further enhance the active lifestyle,” she adds.
“Additionally, with just a 15-minute drive to downtown Calgary and 40 minutes to Banff and Canmore,
Osprey Hill
residents will enjoy both city conveniences and mountain getaways. The lifestyle here will be vibrant, healthy, and immersed in nature.”
Osprey Hill stands out for its prime location on the west side of Calgary, offering unparalleled access to outdoor recreational activities and natural landscapes, including two environmental reserves and over 2.5 kilometers of trails. The community prioritizes sustainability, with 24 per cent of the area dedicated to green spaces. Additionally, its architectural style, inspired by early North American modern movements, creates a visually appealing environment, ensuring it is a desirable place to live for years to come.
Osprey Hill offers a diverse range of homes to suit different lifestyles. Phase 1 includes No-Condo-Fee townhomes, Front Garage Move-up Homes, and Front Garage Amenity Ravine Homes with west-facing rear yards. “The award-winning builders behind this development are Homes by Avi, Bedrock Homes, Renova Homes, and Lupi Homes, all of whom are committed to sustainable building practices and minimizing ecological footprint,” Chenier says.
Show homes are expected to open late summer/early fall of 2025. For more info visit the websiteexperienceospreyhill.com.
UNIVERSITY DISTRICT
The ingenious mix of commercial and residential is best seen in University District, the hugely successful undertaking by University of Calgary Properties Group that has blossomed into a community of tomorrow now. In addition to strong sales for its residential condominium developments, the influx of a varied range of commercial and retail establishments here has created a truly cosmopolitan lifestyle.
“In 2024 alone, we celebrated four significant groundbreakings, marking the addition of two new builders and their projects to our community: Magna by Jayman BUILT and GUILD by Crystal Creek Homes,” says Jacqueline Tran, Marketing and Communications Manager at University District (U/D).
“Additionally, we hosted the groundbreaking for Homes by Avi’s third for-sale residential project, Autumn, and welcomed Gracorp Properties’ third rental project in
the community, Block 22. We are excited to welcome even more new builders to our community in the coming year.”
The retail businesses are seeing steady traffic and the recent opening of Cineplex VIP Cinemas, OEB and Village Ice Cream have created more awareness for the retail main street due to their popularity. She says more “feet on the street is a good thing” for everyone. The mix of local favourites and well-known staples continues to create a desirable mix of offerings.
“In addition to the amenities along Retail Main Street, our thoughtfully designed park spaces are a favourite among residents and visitors. From free skating at the outdoor rink in Central Commons Park to the offleash urban dog park at the North Pond, and the inclusive experiences at the award-winning Northwest Commons Park with an inclusive playground, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.”
Condo living opportunities are available from Homes by Avi, Crystal Creek Homes, Jayman BUILT, the Brenda Strafford Foundation and Gracorp Properties.
University District
UPPER GREENWICH GRAND OPENING
The gorgeous, estate-style community of Upper Greenwich in the northwest dropped jaws when it held its grand opening on October 5.
Three million-dollar-plus frontgarage estate showhomes from New West Homes, Homes by Fifty-Six, Luxuria Homes awed the crowd, as did the luxury paired homes from Partners Development Group that are selling well with only two remaining.
“Upper Greenwich offers an elevated experience, and access to an amazing variety of amenities,” says Partners Development Group’s Cale Marklund. Partners is the developer and one of the builders in the community which offers luxury paired homes from the $700s, front garage estate homes from $1.1-1.2M.
Stunning 4-storey canal-fronting townhomes from $1.2M are also coming soon. Find out more at uppergreewch.com.
RECREATIONAL HAVEN
Calgary’s northwest has always been one of the most desired residential areas in the city, and the diverse range of amenities – from shopping, dining, recreational opportunities and more – attract more homebuyers.
Nose Hill Park is at the very heart of the sector, surrounded by 12 residential communities and offers a ton of four-season recreational fun. The sprawling, 11 square-kilometre park is popular for hikers, joggers, and dog-walkers.
Calgary Farmers Market’s second location in Greenwich has quickly become a magnet for foodies and
shoppers, as the giant, 50,000 square-foot location offers a multitude of fresh, homegrown goodies.
Across from it is the popular Winsport Calgary Olympic Park. It is a multi-purpose training and competition facility that is used both for high performance athletic training and for recreational purposes by the general public. Its ski hill is very popular in the winter.
Market Mall is one of the most popular shopping centres in the city, and the growing list of retailers, restaurants, and coffee shops in University District itself is making it a vibrant destination for foodies and entertainment seekers.
There’s a lot of reasons why Northwest Calgary is as popular as it is, and these are just a few of them.

Winter warmth
by LINDA MAZUR
electric fireplaces fit well in small spaces
With the cooler days and nights, it’s the perfect time for cosying up by the fire. A fireplace adds a certain charm to your home. It contributes a warm and inviting aesthetic, even when not in use, and is the perfect complement to any decor style. If you reside in a house, adding a fireplace to your home can be done with relative ease. However, condo dwellers may encounter a few challenges.
Electrifying options
These days, many newly built condos and lofts are being outfitted with gas or even wood-burning fireplaces. If you own a condo and do not have a fireplace, all is not lost. There are many different possibilities that will
still give you a beautiful ambience, while facilitating any structural or venting limitations you may be facing.
Today’s electric fireplaces have come a long way since they first entered the market. They now feature designs that use revolutionary ultrasonic technology to create true-to-life-looking flames, as well as smoke effects that simulate a real wood-burning fire. Advancements in technology have also created the three-dimensional flame, which is a fabulous and realistic design for an electric fireplace. As the industry continues to advance, the flame has come to resemble the more traditional type found in gas or wood-burning fires. These electric units also offer an environmentally friendly option for additional heat within a space. There are many choices that range from a traditional insert to a more modern approach, a cast-iron electric wood stove to a three-sided glass unit.
The right design
Choosing the right design and function for a fireplace for your home is key to maximizing the usage and enjoyment of your investment. As space can sometimes be limited in a smaller home or condo, the addition of a fireplace should be well planned, and the right-sized unit and heat output is definitely an important factor. The nice thing about an electric fireplace is that the depth of the unit, and the clearances required, are less than with gas or wood units, making it easier to work within small or confined spaces. But adding a fireplace to your home is not simply about function. Let’s face it, a fireplace can be a stunning focal point and definitely sets the mood for that room. It can be a wonderful complement to a well-designed wall unit that offers you added storage as well as the
fireplace feature. A two- or three-way fireplace can be a great addition to a room as a dividing wall. Or it can be an amazing stand-alone focal point in a space as well.
Get creative
Are you looking to create drama in your home by using a stunning piece of marble for your fireplace façade? Or perhaps a more traditional approach works best for you with a warm wood mantel. Whichever way you choose to incorporate a fireplace feature in your home, rest assured there is an abundant array of choices when it comes to picking the façade. From fun panelled wall details, amazing dimensional and textured wall tiles, to concrete, wood, marble and so much more, have fun with your design selections to create a wonderful new feature in your home.
Inviting spaces
We are fortunate to have a multitude of electric fireplace and electric woodstove options available to us that
no longer restrict a homeowner from enjoying the seasonal charms and comforts of a roaring fire, regardless of the size of the home. An electric fireplace is environmentally friendly, with zero emissions, and far more budget friendly than gas or wood burning alternatives. Whether your
tastes veer to the more traditional, or you’re out to make a bold statement, you have many options and design inspirations to draw upon. With the seasons changing, and the colder days fast approaching, it’s time to consider creating an inviting, relaxed space for those chilly nights ahead.
