I’ll probably be the last one to complain about the heat. 30oCplus temps? I say bring it on. But I am missing the cool evening walks with my dog, which is the one thing I’m looking forward to – along with the changing colours of the season – in the coming few weeks. What everyone else is probably looking forward to is a balanced lifestyle. And for new homebuyers that is something easier than ever to attain in Encore West Grove Estates. This latest community from Bri-mor Developments, which graces our cover this issue, promises attainable, luxurious living in the middle of an already well-established community. And the newly-opened showhomes from Encore’s exclusive builder – Cedarglen Homes – expertly show the lifestyle that awaits here. We’ve got so much more news about Calgary’s lively new home market inside. We have Rockford’s timeless design in their Axis townhomes that has recently seen a surge in demand and are now ready to release new buildings to keep up. Calbridge Homes is also touting their latest grand prize showhome for the Hospital Home Lottery and how designing these multi-million-dollar homes has been reflected in the designs of their own homes. For those who haven’t been to Airdrie in a while, you will be more than surprised at the outstanding growth this city has achieved in such a short while. We spoke to locals, including a recent transplant to the city and to McKee Homes whose name is forever linked with Airdrie, to tell us what lifestyle awaits in this small town with a big heart. And if you don’t already know, we also have the list of finalists in the 2021 BILD Alberta Awards. See if your favourites made this most prestigious list. If you need more convincing that the excitement is back, just check out the stories in our Inside Calgary about what other communities and showhomes are opening up.

COVER STORY
FINDING BALANCE AT
ENCORE WEST GROVE ESTATES by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ
Attaining lifestyle balance has been the goal for today’s families and finding a community that gives residents the ability to enjoy home life to its fullest is key to achieving the goal. In this, Encore West Grove Estates seems to have all the answers. Bri-mor Developments’ latest offering has unlocked the secrets to finding this elusive lifestyle. Encore West Grove Estates is surrounded by a well-established 8 New Home + Condo Guide | Aug. 20–Sept. 17, 2021
community with amenities that answer every family’s needs; 7.5 acres of greenspace, playgrounds and pathways for outdoor enjoyment; and lastly, new home designs that are suited to today’s busy, modern lifestyles. Cedarglen Homes, the exclusive builder in this community, opened two new showhomes in June that give buyers a taste of just what life here can be like. But Encore West Grove Estates had been a hit even
well before that. “Our biggest surprise is that we were 50 per cent sold out prior to the showhomes being open, which is a testament to the quality of product and price point being offered in this community,” says Bri-mor Developments Managing Director, Aleem Dhanani. “The response has been overwhelmingly positive from the market.” Keep in mind, much of this success was achieved in the
middle of last year’s lockdowns, which proves the powerful draw Encore has over young families that have, so far, made up the bulk of its buyers. Dhanani explains that much of Encore’s success is a direct result of the momentum Brimor has achieved in completing the previous neighbouring communities of The Rise at West Grove Estates and West Grove Estates. Together, the synergy created among these three communities have solidified Bri-mor’s vision for creating the perfect residential environment. They are doing more with Encore. “Encore brings the classic West Grove Estates design elements from the Rise, with a modern twist. We have added two new modern home designs to Encore: Farmhouse, and Transitional that reflect a more contemporary taste. And for the
first time, we are also allowing three storey homes,” Dhanani says. “This (three-storey homes) will allow homeowners the benefit of an office, bonus room, or even a patio with a view of the mountains. You can see all this showcased at the new showhomes.” Cedarglen Homes introduced to Encore the three-storey Lacombe 3ST and Clairmont 26 and they have been a smash among visitors. Both offer stylish, innovative designs that perfectly fit family life in today’s world. The two-storey, three-bedroom 2,423-square-foot Clairmont 26, and the three-storey fourbedroom, 2,685-square-foot Lacombe 3ST show how Cedarglen and Encore West Grove Estates developer, Bri-mor Developments, were able to work together to offer affordable semiestate living in the sought after southwest.
“They are perfect for new beginnings. Buyers are coming from all over and buying a home of their own for the first time. These are homes for growing families - or those looking to start one – who want to set down roots for their future,” says Cedarglen Homes Area Sales Manager, Kimberly Holstein. “While we have created an affordable price point offering with Encore, we did not want to compromise the Estate community feel,” Dhanani explains. “We are living in a new economic reality in the City and consumers are now simply looking for ‘real value’ – that means great quality, lifestyle, curb appeal, amenities, greenspaces and all of this, at an affordable price starting in the mid $700’s.” The first Encore residents will be moving in and joining nearly 300 homes in West Grove Estates as new neighbours, he adds. “With

an active community, over 7.5 acres of greenspace, and access to great schools and amenities, the decision to join this amazing community is easier than ever.” Bri-mor has nurtured the entire West Grove Estates community to fruition, putting in place everything that was needed to bring out the full lifestyle potential of living in the southwest. There are a multitude of schools nearby, a diverse choice of restaurants, groceries and boutique shops that are a mere five minutes away. And within the community itself, life is ready to be lived – and enjoyed. The well-maintained greenspace throughout the whole West Grove Estates area is the glue that binds these communities together, as they were designed to strengthen and boost the community spirit and connect its three distinct developments. There is a junior football field, and a skating rink that has become a focal point of social life in the community this winter. There is a reflective park that gives dog walkers and joggers a moment of contemplation, and the ravine and natural reserves surrounding it along with thick 10 New Home + Condo Guide | Aug. 20–Sept. 17, 2021
stands of aspen complete a closeto-nature character. Encore West Grove’s location in the southwest has also been a key component to its success. It is closer to the mountains than many of Calgary’s outlying communities, commute to the downtown is easier through the recently improved Bow Trail, and if driving isn’t your thing, then the 69th Street LRT Station is just down the road. The lively 85th Street SW corridor is just a few minutes away with its full line up of groceries, fast
food chains, diners, coffee shops, and pubs. There are excellent day cares and dental clinics, fitness centres and more are scattered throughout. And the nearby West 85th commercial centre that Brimor itself developed has provides many of these key conveniences and services. “One of the key benefits of Encore is that buyers are welcomed to an already flourishing community including all the amenities, facilities, and neighbours ready for them to enjoy,” Dhanani says.

GLOBALFEST
What’s Happening After a year’s hiatus, GlobalFest returns to Elliston Park late this summer with five nights of international fireworks, together with food and entertainment from the OneWorld Festival. Fireworks competitions start on August 19 with the grand finale on August 28. “The GlobalFest team are eager to welcome back pyromusical fans to Elliston Park, after 24 long months without Alberta’s Most Explosive Festival,” says marketing/communications manager, Olwen Bell. Besides the fireworks competition pitting teams from Canada, China, India, Japan and the Philippines, Globalfest will also have over 20 international food booths to tempt everyone’s taste buds. The whole park has also been licensed to allow guests over the age of 18 to enjoy alcoholic beverages while remaining in their seating areas. For tickets, schedules and more info, go to globalfest.ca.
Holland Park sales surge ahead Holland Park has always been about absolute liveability. From the design of this Excel Homes’ townhome development to its fantastic location in Walden in the southeast, each unit is meant to offer a balanced lifestyle. And now it is 65 per cent sold. Excel Homes Marketing Manager, Kristina Plank, says sales are way up this year. A lot of it comes from what Holland Park already offers but maintaining their prices may have been key as well. “While material costs and pricing has significantly increased in the housing market this year, the Holland Park townhomes have not seen a big jump in price,” she says. “These units remain price friendly for buyers looking to get into the market.” Holland Park’s selection of two- and threebedroom townhomes have been wildly popular and there is still a good selection available. With prices starting from the high $200,000s, Plank says now is the time to get in. 12 New Home + Condo Guide | Aug. 20–Sept. 17, 2021
Phase 2 of the project was released February 2021, along with three brand new show homes. “Walkins are welcome,” Plank says. “Interested parties can check out our pet-friendly townhomes, the community garden, and the miles of walking paths surrounding our location.” More info at: www.excelhomes.ca/holland-park

Trico Homes moves to new offices
Trico Homes have been experts in moving homebuyers to a new home, and now the renowned Calgary company has moved to its new home as well. After more than 20 years at its old office in the Beltline, Trico Homes has moved its headquarters to Kingsland Junction. They occupy a total of just under 29,000 square-feet of the first two floors of a four-storey building in a five-building complex. This new location just off Macleod Trail SW also combines Trico’s other businesses - Trico Communities’s rental apartments and Trico LivingWell’s older adult residences – in this complex as well. “It’s about the same square-footage as our old office, but this one
has more functional working spaces for our employees,” says Trico Homes Marketing Director, Glenda Schwartz. “It allows for more collaboration and teamwork.” Their clients benefit most from the Accents Design Studio that gives homebuyers a more relaxed, and functional environment where they can choose the entire line of finishings for their home in a friendly, efficient manner. There’s a new energy coursing through Trico Homes these days, and Schwartz says they are getting ready to announce the opening of more new showhomes this year, including the new STARS Lottery home in Sirocco at Pine Creek in the southwest. Learn more at tricohomes.com.
New Shane Homes townhomes in Cornerstone Cornerhaven is Shane Multi-Family’s newest townhomes located in the master-planned community of Cornerstone in the northeast. “Cornerhaven Townhomes are built for those who want to remain close to their family and tight-knit community, but are also looking to have their own retreat,” says Shane Homes Marketing Project Lead, Chelsey Tatrie. Cornerhaven offers a variety of amenities including private walkways, covered semi-private balconies over the garage, and a home office/small den with ample natural light. “There is no wasted space in our Cornerstone homes!” she adds.
With Cornerhaven Townhomes homebuyers get a thoughtful and detailed floorplan (kitchens are either in the front or back of the main floor allowing the homeowner to set up the space to suit their lifestyle, a double car garage, and every home has
an office/den space) as well as interchangeable interior design options so they can mix and match and decide where they want to upgrade. All at the starting price from the low $300,000s. Learn more at https://www. shanehomes.com/cornerhaven/ nexthome.ca 13

Calbridge Homes dream Home by PePPer rodriguez If you’re dreaming of homeownership, may as well dream big. And nothing is bigger right now than Calbridge Homes’ latest grand prize show home for the 2021 Hospital Home Lottery. The over 5,900-square-foot masterpiece will certainly set the bar in the already charming streetscape of Cranston’s Riverstone community in the southeast. It also comes with an expansive 450-square-foot tiered outdoor living space fitted with privacy screens to further enjoy the verdant nature at its backyard. Valued at $2.6 million, this fantastic four-bedroom, four-anda-half bathroom, triple garage estate home will undoubtedly 24 New Home + Condo Guide | Aug. 20–Sept. 17, 2021
spur ticket sales for this charitable institution. But that has ever been the case with each of Calbridge’s grand prize show homes. Coming up with captivating, unique home designs is a tough challenge though, says Eelco Kleinleugenmors, Architectural Planning & Development director at Calbridge Homes. He should know, as he’s had a hand in designing Calbridge’s grand prize lottery homes over the past several years. For this year’s grand prize home, he says he took his inspiration from the calm, and lush river valley scenery of Cranston’s Riverstone. “The design of the home, the layout of the floor plans, was entirely based on building a
connection between the living spaces, indoors and outdoors, and the beautiful Bow River valley,” Kleinleugenmors says. “The vision truly comes to life and discovers its fulfillment on the two-level, covered and screened outdoor space, which the home was designed around. The most special aspect about this home is that it amplifies its surroundings and diverts attention to the natural beauty, rather than the home itself.” The interior design is inspired by a fresh take on Nordic elements, he adds. “Maintaining clean and contemporary lines complimented with texture and warmth of wood detailing throughout to create a light and cozy living space.”
This distinct look really comes through in the main floor with its high, vaulted ceilings, floor-toceiling windows, contemporary, central fireplace and soft colour palette. It’s a terrific spot to entertain guests, with its warm and welcoming character. The adjacent kitchen is central to the overall design of the home, rightfully so, says Kleinleugenmors, after all it is where the family congregates. The massive centre island with extra open shelving underneath caps off the entire look, melding functionality and style in a glamorous whole. The elegant bonus room upstairs is designed especially for the enjoyment of the whole family. It comes equipped with everything needs for in-home entertainment, the perfect place to ride out another lockdown if it ever comes. The luxurious ensuite is every homeowner’s dream. Decked out in black, honeycomb tile flooring, it is a luxurious retreat where one can find respite. The basement level is just as exquisite with its glorious wet bat and entertainment lounge. This gives the adults the space they need to enjoy the game with buddies with a few drinks, while the kids play their video games in the bonus room upstairs. Kleinleugenmors says the ultimate goal of any grand prize showhome is for people to see themselves
living in it. “I think we were able to accomplish a home that everybody can picture themselves living in.” he says. “Sometimes, in trying to come up with a design that makes the home stand out, the home can feel impractical for everyday life. But this one has the ‘wow factor’ and the functionality that makes it a home everyone can fall in love with.” And fall in love they likely will, especially when they learn that the grand prize home comes fully furnished with everything you see in it, plus $ 250,000 in cash. It is one of the over 2,500 prizes, including an $8000,000 luxury Canmore condo early bird prize. Calbridge has always taken pride in its involvement in this yearly labour-of-love endeavour, but it has also helped this renowned
builder in shaping their own core business, resulting in better designed homes. “Building lottery homes has certainly given Calbridge a brand awareness when it comes to our commitment to intentional and purposeful design, attention to detail, craftsmanship and quality that is represented throughout our homes at all price points,” Kleinleugenmors says. “Having the opportunity to marry our passion of building homes with this exceptional cause is truly a privilege.” Tickets for the Hospital Home Lottery are being sold online at calgaryhospitalhomelottery.com, interested parties can also visit the showhome at 252 Cranbrook Point SE, Calgary when it opens in September.

THE TIMELESS APPEAL OF
AXIS
by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ
Axis is about accessibility – not just the accessibility it’s terrific location in the booming southeast community of Walden gives to its residents, but also the accessibility that its prices and floor plans offer to buyers. This townhome development by Rockford is now half sold, as demand continues to be strong. And new showhomes currently in the works are sure to boost its popularity even more. “We are nearly 50 per cent sold but even more exciting for us is that we are working on three new buildings so we will be able to have quick possessions of all 3 of our models available soon,” says Rockford Chief Operating Officer, Marlo Schaaf. The 72-unit townhome development adds plenty of stylish allure to the southeast community’s charming streetscape. “The contemporary design of our townhomes complements the urban characteristic of Walden,” she tells Calgary New Home + Condo Guide. Axis’ floorplans are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. They have recently updated the selection 28 New Home + Condo Guide | Aug. 20–Sept. 17, 2021
packages with some great new standard selections, as well as a large variety of affordable upgrade options, including new MDF shaker cabinetry, 12-by-24-inch floor tile and some great new mosaic backsplash tile. “We are excited to be building a new show home to feature our new standard finishings, which include luxury vinyl plank, ceramic floor tile, quartz throughout, stainless steel appliances and of course the quality of construction and materials that Rockford purchasers are accustomed to getting in their new homes,” she adds. Rockford does offer more flexibility for purchasers to customize items in their home. “So, when it’s completed and our homeowners move in there is a satisfaction that their new home is truly a reflection of them,” Schaaf says. Axis currently offers three models with two or three bedrooms. The Y model features a single-attached garage with a developable basement, this popular model has been our flagship since our inception and we only have 7 of them left at Axis “We will have
+ COMMUNITY Walden PROJECT Axis DEVELOPER Rockford STYLE Two and three-bedroom townhomes with attached garages ADDRESS 8 and 10 Walden Lane DIRECTIONS South on Macleod Tr., east on 194 Ave. S.E., right on Walden Gate and follow the signs. WEBSITE axiseverything.ca
units available for possession by winter this year,” Schaaf says. The X Model has a double tandem garage and a great open concept flexible main floor and will have units ready for quick possession by this fall. And the Z model comes with a doubleattached garage, a spacious main floor and will be ready for occupancy in spring next year. Axis has been a hit among young professionals as well as young families. “With two- and three-bedroom options available this development is really attractive to couples with kids and professionals that want or need a home office. Also, our low condo fees that provide a low maintenance lifestyle where you don’t need to shovel snow in the winter, cut grass in the summer or worry about exterior maintenance on your home,” she says. And with a starting price of $329,900 +GST it remains a stylish, affordable option for many. Its location in the 5,000-acre smart growth community of
Walden is one of the biggest draws for Axis. This Genstar community in the southeast has terrific accessibility to downtown through Macleod Trail, and is an excellent gateway for a quick trip to Kananaskis via Highway 22. It is an already established community with plenty of amenities already available to use. The Gates of Walden shopping center right in the community provides plenty of convenience, and includes a Shoppers Drug Mart, Windsor Rose Pub, Pet
Planet, Starbucks, RBC and a variety of other shops and services to come shortly. And more are coming soon, including the massive Township shopping district that is just about ready to fully open. Walden also has seven kilometres of trails within the community itself and 10 parks and playgrounds, also its proximity to Fish Creek Park and all the recreational opportunities it offers cannot be overstated. nexthome.ca 29

Southpoint by Vesta Properties
Airdrie: Small town heart, big time growth by PePPer rodriguez
bedroom towns. It remains on the fast track to growth – and picking up speed. Today, Airdrie is a city with a population of 70,564, according to a 2019 census, compared to the 38,091 it had just 10 years prior. There are now 26,210 dwellings in the city just north of Calgary, with 951 new homes added between April 2018 to April 2019. Airdrie was first established as a railway village in 1889 during the construction of the Calgary and Edmonton Railway. It is situated on the Queen Elizabeth II Highway (Alberta’s busiest), which connects Calgary and Edmonton. The
Calgary International Airport is also just a short distance away, which further cements this reputation as a connectivity hub. Homebuyers’ Haven
Quena Sanchez is a recent transplant, who moved to Airdrie not too long ago with her husband, Josh, and five-year-old daughter, Annika, plus their dog, Dexter. “We’ve lived in Airdrie almost a year and a half and I’m still learning all the various cool businesses and resources available,” she tells Calgary New Home + Condo Guide. nexthome.ca 37

What started out as a small railroad outpost in the late 19th Century has today become one of southern Alberta’s most populous and progressive cities in the 21st. Airdrie has enjoyed all kinds of growth, especially over the last decade, but it has not lost its small-town heart. And don’t just take our word for it, Expedia ranked it second in its 2018 national survey of the friendliest cities and towns in Canada. Airdrie is now a major regional commercial and industrial hub, a steadily growing metropolis with its own distinct character and not just another one of Calgary’s
Nose Creek Park
Abe’s Modern Diner
“In this relatively short time, we’ve grown fond of many local businesses, farmers market and recreation facilities. I’m constantly amazed about the good nature and ‘small town’ feel of Airdrie. People greet you while walking down pathways, have many neighbourhood friends, our daughter has been involved in many recreational opportunities and all of our experiences since moving have been positive.” When asked what the biggest surprise was about living in Airdrie, she says it may just be the utter convenience the city offers. “Maybe the biggest surprise has been how little we need to go to Calgary for anything other than to visit family, friends and the occasional zoo outing. We have so many services and opportunities right here.” 38 New Home + Condo Guide | Aug. 20–Sept. 17, 2021
locally grown
But if there’s anything to know about Airdire, it’s best to talk to locals. And no one is more local than McKee Homes. The muchrespected, family-run homebuilder has been doing business in Airdrie since the 1980s, and company president, Elaine Doel, says the strong community bonds unique to Airdrie is a key appeal. “There are plenty of great minor sports options, and many school options all within close distance to every community,” she says. And McKee Homes should know as they have a presence in almost all of them. Family-Friendly communiTies
There are several new communities in various stages of development that are sprouting in all sectors of Airdrie, 10 of them
probably coming in less than a decade ago. The newest, Lanark by Melcor Developments, just opened its first showhomes earlier this year. Bayside and Bayview by Genesis Land Development and Cooper’s Crossing by Westmark Holdings are probably the biggest and the most established of these new communities. Midtown, the first land development project from Shane Homes, is the newest in Airdrie’s inner-city and is closest to the core. The south part of Airdrie is where majority of the new growth is seen. Southpoint by Vesta Properties may just be the hottest right now as it releases its latest phase. Southwinds by Mattamy is also making huge strides. As is Hillcrest by Apex Development, where Quena chose to settle her family. These communities benefit the most from the new access to the Queen Elizabeth II Highway that makes commuting to Calgary and points south all that much easier. Chinook Gate by Brookfield Residential is closest to the northern border of Calgary. While Ravenswood by Qualico Communities and King’s Heights by Melcor Developments are
SNAP Collectibles
getting close to completion. All espouse the family-friendly traits of Airdrie, with tons of in-community amenities that promote a balanced lifestyle with an abundance of recreational opportunities for all ages and interests. Southpoint has made this a priority as this master-planned community is already one of Airdrie’s greenest communities with 12 acres of green space including a tennis and basketball court, children’s playground, barbecue area, plus a new school and dog park right within the community’s borders. sHopping: big box To bouTique
One of Alberta’s biggest shopping malls, CrossIron Mills, is just a short drive from Airdrie, and the city itself has its own retinue of big box stores that offer tons of convenience to residents. But Airdrie has its own set of fantastic, kitschy boutique stores that offer everything from fresh farm goods to sought-after collectible items. There is Souto Farm which offers fresh produce and various baked goods and cooked dishes from other local businesses. Squiggly Pig Marketplace is a great store with many local artisans and crafts people exhibiting their work. Airdrie is also gaining a reputation as a collector’s haven with SNAP Collectibles and Treasure Cove Collectibles that offer comic books, toys and some hard-to-find items for the pop collector. Where On Earth Did You Get That antique mall is an institution and may just be southern Alberta’s largest with 15,000 square-feet of cool collectibles.
shops the abound in Airdrie. It has a very international palette with everything from Chinese, Mexican, Italian and throw in a little Greek in there too. A local favourite is Abe’s Modern Diner. It offers some of the best burgers in town, and their brunch menu is also amazing. “All our ingredients are sourced locally,” says Abe’s director of operations, Luis Gonzalez. “We do our best to support the local community too.” Mckee Homes’ Elaine Doel says her favourite local restaurant is Old Town Pizza House. “The food and atmosphere are great, and the ownership and staff are also great!”
For authentic Greek cuisine, you can’t go wrong with Paros On Main. Serving the community of Airdrie for the past 17 years. Their head chef, Mrs. Tzigalanis, is sure to satisfy any craving for Greek dishes with her homemade flavor that brings the Mediterranean to the prairies. The lamb souvlaki is a must-try. Crave an indie coffee? Sorso Coffee Co. is the place to be. “Belly up to our antique bar for a beer or vino,” suggests staff on the website. Or bring your laptop and work while you sip on a latte made with beans from Rosso Coffee Roasters.
