I’m sure that’s what StreetSide Developments is saying these days, as they climb to the top spot in townhome sales in 2021. According to the Zonda Urban Sales by Developer Report, Qualico Communities’ award-winning, multi-family arm topped the charts as Calgary’s bestselling townhome builder last year. Find out why StreetSide has become a townhome darling in our cover story inside.

It’s not just StreetSide that’s doing well. The spike in new home sales continues this year across the board, and our feature on infill developments reveals that the same is true in the more established neighbourhoods closer to the downtown. See if the inner-city lifestyle is right for you in our feature inside.

We also get an inside look at the rise of the Net Zero homes in our green homes feature. We find out how Avalon Master Builder is going about this for townhomes, and what efforts Excel Homes has given their single-family home buyers in the battle to keep utility costs down and save the environment.

Our story on the growth of Chestermere will open eyes on the lifestyle potential of this lake town, a community where one can still enjoy lakeside living without having to pay lake fees. The number of new communities blossoming here, and the wide variety of recreational opportunities offered, makes Chestermere a popular choice for new home buyers.

Don’t forget to check us out next month when we reveal this year’s finalists for the BILD Calgary Region Awards. See you all then.
