COVER STORY

LUXURY AND FUNCTIONALITY BLEND IN

WEST 83 TOWNHOMES People will believe in love at first sight again when they see Trico Homes’ new West 83 showhomes. The recently opened showhomes exhibit the impeccable, curated style that the new luxury townhome development offers in Calgary’s much coveted southwest. What’s not to love? Located just off Old Banff Coach Road in West Springs, West 83 is close to all the rich cultural, commercial, and entertainment amenities of this corner of southwest Calgary. Then there’s the well-designed, luxuriously 8 New Home + Condo Guide | Nov. 10–Dec. 8, 2023

appointed townhomes themselves, designed by Calgary’s own interior design star, Aly Velji. “West 83 is our newest luxury townhome community, and the newly opened showhomes were very warmly received,” says Adam Zymirski, Sales Manager of Trico’s West 83 Townhomes. The lifestyle offered here is what buyers will find so irresistible, as residents are guaranteed to love the community that offers nearly any amenity they need close by.

“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 at our early bird pricing. There are so many exciting things happening in the community that homebuyers today will enjoy seeing how much their value will increase,” he adds. West 83 will have 150 exclusive opportunities available (Phase I – 75 Units, and Phase II – 75 Units), with


homes ranging in size from 15-, 17and up to 20-feet in width. Two- and three-bedroom models are available, and they are selling quick. 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. Available are the Emerson at 1,290 square-feet; the Granville at 1,381 square-feet; and the Oakwood at 1,796 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 twocar 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 low $700’s for the Oakwood, GST included. 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 a main floor bedroom/bathroom for the Oakwood to convert this into a four-bedroom and three-anda-half-bathroom home, Zymirski says. 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 take a look at both palettes. 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. nexthome.ca 9


The townhomes were designed with the homeowner in mind, with bright and spacious living spaces that offer plenty of storage, and impeccable design taste. “The Aly Velji Design Team brings a lot to the table,” Zymirski adds. “With the exquisite design, and an amazing taste with regards to interior selections, it’s no wonder why his team is in such high demand!” Living in the west side brings its own glamour too. There are plenty of shopping options in the area with several groceries to choose from, West Side Recreation Centre is just down the road, there are a wide selection of boutique diners and restaurants around, as well as green spaces and outdoor family amenities. “Getting around the city is no problem either, as we’re just off Old Banff Coach Road, and the nearing completion of the Stoney Trail ring road will undoubtedly add to the accessibility of the area, whether you need to go downtown or make a quick trip to the mountains,” Zymirski says. West 83 answers plenty of buyers’ needs. “We see a lot of downsizers 10 New Home + Condo Guide | Nov. 10–Dec. 8, 2023

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.” Find out more at west83townhomes.com.

ADVICE | CALGARYISM

WHY SHOULD YOU DEVELOP YOUR BASEMENT IN CALGARY? CODY BATTERSHILL Basements are just as much a part of your home as the upper floors, and in some sense, are more important as they are essentially the “foundation” of your house. And while basements in Calgary are quite common, they are sometimes unheard of in other parts of the world – making us lucky to be able to experience the potential benefits that come with. Many people choose to develop their basements, but not everyone is keen on the idea. Let me tell you why buying a new home with a fully developed basement or picking up this project in your existing property could be more than worth your while. #1 – MORE SPACE

The most obvious benefit of a developed basement is that you’ll significantly increase the livable space inside your home. Most houses have basements with an identical envelope to the ground level, meaning that you’ll increase your living space by roughly one-third assuming you have two floors above. More space in the basement means you can now use it for whatever you’d like, such as an extra bedroom, an entertainment room, a workout room, storage, or an office, to name a few options. When choosing what to do with that added space, the sky is the limit. Developing the basement is an excellent option if you want more space without moving and for the most affordable price possible. #2 – ADDED VALUE

With careful planning and the right builder, developing your basement

14

New Home + Condo Guide | Nov. 10–Dec. 8, 2023

Homes by Avi

can add considerable value to your home. A developed basement can be a sound investment; it will appeal to potential buyers as they weigh the pros and cons of your home versus another without a finished basement. In a market downturn, this basement could be between making the sale – or not. Overall, developing your basement adds space to live in and considerable value to your bottom line, likely making your property much more valuable on the MLS®. #3 – INCOME GENERATOR

If you don’t need the extra space, you may be able to convert your basement into a legal suite. Owning a legal basement suite pays off as you can rent the space and generate a secondary income. In many instances, potential buyers also view a legal suite as an added asset. Like a developed basement without a suite, it could make the difference in the eyes of a potential buyer who also may not need so much space but likes the appeal of a second revenue source. If your home doesn’t already have a separate entrance to the basement, then some heavy-duty renovation

work may be required to make it capable as a secondary suite. You’ll want to weigh the initial investment’s costs versus the potential income from the suite over the long term and decide if you see the benefit in converting the basement in the first place. IS DEVELOPING YOUR BASEMENT THE RIGHT CHOICE?

As always, I highly recommend consulting a full-time and experienced REALTOR® if developing your basement is the right thing to do given your real estate goals. From Cody and the Calgaryism Real Estate Team, we wish you all the best this fall and winter! Happy house hunting! Cody Battershill is the founder of Calgaryism and a top producing Realtor® at RE/MAX House of Real Estate.

NEW COMMUNITIES SPUR GROWTH IN THE SOUTHEAST by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ

Traffic reporters often refer to it as the “deep south” when talking about southeast Calgary, perhaps in jest and also because of its perceived distance from the downtown. Still, it keeps getting deeper by the day, as more new communities sprout up. And even if they are a little further from the city core, these communities east of the Bow River and on either side of the southern portion of Stoney Trail and Deerfoot Trail can boast some of the best lifestyle balance anywhere. More importantly, these new communities mean continued affordability, as the southeast remains one of the best residential sectors where new homes remain a lot more attainable. The establish amenities available, the improving accessibility and closeness to nature and recreational opportunities make this one of the best places to live in Calgary that promises a true work-life balance. “The Southeast quadrant of Calgary is one of the fastest growing

16

New Home + Condo Guide | Nov. 10–Dec. 8, 2023

segments of the city,” says Peter Jensen, Senior Development Manager for Genesis Land Development Corp., the developer of one of the newest communities in the southeast, Logan Landing. As communities like Cranston, Copperfield, Auburn Bay, and New Brighton have been built out, and Legacy, Seton, and Mahogany continue to expand, more new southeast communities are being introduced like Logan Landing, Hotchkiss, Rangeview (two of them), and coming up soon, Sora. Like many new communities in the southeast, Logan Landing is close to major roads, employment centres, recreational and health facilities, and services. It doesn’t matter if you’re close to downtown or not. “Most of anyone’s daily needs can be met with a short drive, bike ride or walk,” Jensen says. “Logan Landing especially, will offer the most breathtaking views and rare proximity to the southern-most tip of the Bow River through Calgary.”

SOUTHERN ADVANCES

Genesis Land Development is the developer of Logan Landing, a master-planned community with access to the Bow River, and over 140 acres of open space, breathtaking valley and mountain views, traversing pathways, and established amenities. “The proximity to the Seton Commercial Core, the South Health Campus hospital, YMCA and a high school offer abundance of educational, employment and recreation opportunities,” Jensen says. “People should be excited by Logan Landing because it brings this special piece of nature along the Bow River to all Calgarians, not just residents. We purposefully will make public the most scenic and valuable viewpoints overlooking the escarpment, which is above the southern-most tip of the Bow River. We envision people from all four quadrants travelling here for special-occasion photos and destinations, enjoying the lookoff points, patios, restaurants, and


Logan Landing

neighbourhood activity centre,” he adds. Logan Landing is just one of the many new communities launched in the last few years, among them are Rangeview by Section23, Rangeview by Genstar, Wolf Willow by WestCreek Developments, and Hotchkiss by developed jointly by Hopewell Residential and Qualico Communities. And even more are coming. LIFESTYLE DESIGN

Innovative community designs can in fact be seen in all the new neighbourhoods in the southeast. Section23’s Rangeview builds on the historic farming tradition of the area with its farm-to-table concept, Hotchkiss enhances its closeness to

Fish Creek Park

nature with its wetlands, while Wolf Willow by WestCreek Developments leans on its scenic riverside location to bring in wholesome parks and pathways. Urban appeal is not too far away either, as Brookfield Residentials Seton remains a beacon for achieving world-class, work-life balance lifestyle with its blend of residential and commercial nodes. Its vision was to create a new downtown in the south and it has largely succeeded, enhanced by its twin gems: the South Health Campus hospital, and the massive Brookfield Residential YMCA. LOGAN LANDING

The new Genesis Land community just broke ground earlier this year,

Mahogany

but it already holds the promise of an unmatched lifestyle. “This is a new kind of suburb, Jensen says. “It is compact and complete, where people can live, work and play, with a density of 8.5 units per acre, significantly closer to our inner-city densities, such as Garrison Woods, which is 10.4 units per acre.” Logan Landing is scaled to pedestrians and designed with environmental sustainability at its core, he adds. “We piloted the city’s new climate policies in our outline plan and will build smarter homes with the latest energy-efficient technologies, and support renewable-energy infrastructure such as solar panels and electrical vehicle charging stations.

“It’s new-build communities like Logan Landing that will help the City of Calgary meet net-zero goals and decarbonization ambitions,” he says. Stay tuned for announcements on the builder group and when showhomes are expected to open. Find out more at genesisland.com. EXPLORE

No doubt that growth will continue throughout the southeast, but why do people love living here so much? The rich number of amenities that are readily available would be a big part of that, and so would the easy accessibility to any part of town now that the ring road is almost finished. The natural wonders of Fish Creek Provincial Park can be easily accessed from these southeast neighbourhoods. Fish Creek Park covers much of the southern breadth of the city, encompassing 1,348 hectares stretching some 20 kilometres from the T’suu Tina Reserve at 37th Street

Rangeview by Genstar

to the Bow River’s banks in the east and dividing established and newer suburbs that have sprung up beside it. Running along shallow, winding Fish Creek, the park is a labyrinth of walking, cycling and equestrian paths (around 80 km in total), peppered by groves of mature trees and open meadows. Today the park attracts more than 3 million visitors a year, from naturalists to history buffs, nature photographers, hikers, walkers, cyclists, and picnicking families, according to the Friends of Fish Creek Provincial Park, the non-profit organization that helps run the park. “Calgarians and tourists alike come to enjoy the many opportunities offered by this natural area in the midst of Calgary’s dynamic urban environment.” DINE AND SHOP

Seton is the epicentre of commercial, retail, recreation, and dining in the southeast. Its urban district will

Seton 18 New Home + Condo Guide | Nov. 10–Dec. 8, 2023

have 1 million square-feet of retail space that has already blossomed into a multitude of offerings, from the Superstore to the Cineplex VIP Theatre – the first ever in Alberta. Also in Seton are the Tommyfield Gastro Pub, Boston Pizza, TiNi Vietnamese Restaurant, to name but a few, that can satisfy foodie cravings for sure. Mahogany Village Market continues to grow adding more establishments to a roster that already includes Sobeys, Tim Horton’s, Cobs Bread, ATB Financial, Dairy Queen, Kinjo Sushi & Grill, The Canadian Brewhouse, and State & Main. The massive Township Shopping Centre in Legacy is also shaping up fast as a major source for shopping and entertainment and services, providing a much-needed amenity to service the new communities in the area and beyond. Life in the southeast certainly has its perks, and residents take pride in its “deep south” character.

CALGARY’S EXCITING NEW HOME OPPORTUNITIES by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ Through the year, Calgary New Home + Condo Guide has been running regular features that focus on a certain type of home. Our “Why Buy…” a condo, or townhome, or duplex, or laned home, or front-drive garage home, has been one of our most popular stories online and in print. These features are in service of our readers, as we strive to “guide” them on the best new homeowning possibilities out there that might fit their lifestyle. Featuring a particular home type gives us and new homebuilders the opportunity to tout the appeal of each one and where they are available, and clue in the reader – many of whom are new to the city – on what’s available to them.

20 New Home + Condo Guide | Nov. 10–Dec. 8, 2023

And now, as 2023 draws to an end, we wanted to rundown the wide variety of home types that are available in the city from some of the builders we talked with through the year and give our readers a widescreen shot of Calgary’s new home offerings. APARTMENT CONDOS

Whether it’s a downtown tower, an inner-city mid-rise, or a lifestyleconnected four-storey condo in the suburbs, single-level apartment condos offer a rich, fulfilling option for new home buyers. Apartment condos have always been thought of as a perfect first-time homebuyer opportunity. But there is

more to them than just that, as they are communities in themselves. Logel Homes has been one of Calgary most reliable and trusted name in condo developments, winning the BILD Calgary Multi-Family Developer of the Year a record third straight year in 2023. “We ask our homebuyers what motivated them to search for a condo and the overall answer is the value that Logel Homes offers when it comes to quality and price as well as the convenience that condo living offers!” says Logel Homes Sales & Marketing Manager, Reilly LePage. Logel Homes’ best-selling condo apartment floorplan is the Cohen, which can be found in all of their


developments. It is a two-bed, twobath plan that varies in square-footage from 971- to 1,125 square-feet. “This floorplan makes great use of the space featuring a single family-esque kitchen bolstering plenty of storage space along with an oversized kitchen island that fits several bar stools” LePage says. “This condo features a primary bedroom with walk-in closet and ensuite with plenty of customizations. The secondary bedroom is also wellsized featuring large windows with enough space to comfortably fit a queen-sized bed and side tables.” Find out more at logelhomes.com. TOWNHOMES

Whether upsizing or downsizing, for many, the townhome is about rightsizing. The townhome is the most versatile new home option in the Calgary market these days; it’s stylish, functional, and just makes sense. Most of all, it’s affordable.

Logel Homes

New home buyers love the fact that they can get a two- or threebedroom home for a lower price, with the extra advantage of a lowmaintenance lifestyle. Partners Development Group specializes in townhomes with a variety of offerings in and around the city. “Our current best-

selling townhome is the Rundle model townhome,” says Cale Marklund, Marketing Manager at Partners. “It’s a gorgeous, two-storey townhome that offers 1,886 square feet of open concept space and comes with a double detached rear garage and a fully fenced backyard.”

Morrison Homes

Partners currently offers the Rundle townhome model in the new community of Sirocco, in SW Calgary. “We have just sold out of the model in D’Arcy, Okotoks. We also sell bungalow townhomes (starting from the mid $500’s) in Wedderburn, Okotoks, and Sirocco as well.” Find out more at partnershomes.ca. DUPLEX OR PAIRED HOME

The two-of-a-kind might be the lowest hand to win with in poker, but the paired home – or duplex – hits the jackpot every time, especially among first-time homebuyers. Homebuilders have different names for the duplex. Some call it a sideby-side home, or a semi-detached home, or even a paired home. No

matter what it is called, its flexibility, functionality, and perhaps most importantly, its affordability have made it a perennial best-seller for Calgary’s homebuilders. Trico Homes paired homes in the northwest community of Glacier Ridge exemplifies this home type’s continued appeal. “With the cost of homes, duplexes typically are a good entry point to home ownership,” says Justin Rampersad, Trico Homes Area Manger in Glacier Ridge. “With the flexibility of our designs, we can accommodate most customers’ needs and wants based on their stage in life. Having the ability to build a legal suite and rent out either the main house and/ or basement from day one is very

Trico Homes

enticing and helps with mortgage approvals up-front.” Trico’s Lancaster duplex home is a best-seller. “At 1,660 square-feet, it has a very flexible design that allows the addition of a main floor flex room, upper floor bonus room, and also a two-bedroom legal suite,” Rampersad says. Find out more at tricohomes.com. LANED HOMES

Laned homes have been the darling of the new homebuyer set for almost as long as there has been a new homebuilding industry. This type of home usually has a porch or veranda facing the street, or big front windows with unencumbered view of the front yard. It also has a parking pad

Trico Homes

or detached garage with rear lane access, and it has always been the preferred first home for many. Excel Homes’ Marketing Manager, Kristina Plank, says the curb appeal and spacious front yard of the laned home can explain its enduring appeal. ‘They offer an abundance of natural sunlight from the front facing windows. It offers all the perks of a front-attached garage home like yard space, privacy, and an optional double garage at the back, but at a lower price.” Excel’s best-selling laned home is the Bellevue, a 1795 sq ft. 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home that is bright and open. Designed with families in mind, the Bellevue has three separate living areas - a flex room and great room on the main floor and a bonus room on the second floor. A popular design feature of this home is the strategically placed

central bonus room that creates ultimate privacy for the large primary suite, combined with the stunning open to below feature.” Find out more at excelhomes.ca. FRONT-DRIVE GARAGE HOME

For many of today’s families, the ideal home remains to be the front-drive attached-garage home. These types of homes are as ubiquitous as the suburbs they are generally found in and are at the apex of the homebuying cycle. The challenge for most buyers is its limited affordability, as it is the largest home type. Bringing in added value is how Morrison Homes is able to surmount the challenge. And of course, being the most awarded homebuilder in Calgary doesn’t hurt either, with a record 16 Builder of the Year awards. “Our Front Garage Zero homes, namely the Bentley, Bristow,

Morrison Homes

Partners

Wexford, and Cliffton, stand as our most sought-after models,” says Max Conrad, Marketing Manager. “These residences are highly favored because they afford homebuyers the opportunity to acquire their ideal front garage home, complete with desired finishes and features, all at an appealing price point. Additionally, these homes offer the flexibility of side entries, the potential for basement suite developments, and various floor options such as open to above living rooms, creating an estate-like ambiance. Morrison Homes builds front garage zero homes across Calgary in Legacy, Livingston, Cornerstone and Wolf Willow. “We also offer traditional front garage homes in Cornerstone, Livingston, Sirocco and Wolf Willow,” he adds.

TRENDING | BASEMENT DESIGN YYC

Cedarglen Homes

BASEMENT LIVING REDEFINED by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ The basement was the one room in the house that people looked down on, literally and figuratively. It used to be the least appealing room that many used to store seasonal decor and other seldomly used items. The key phrase though is “used to be,” as today the utility and beauty of the basement is in full display. Whether it is a man-cave, a femme flat, a game room or home theatre, the basement is extra living space that everyone can use. A little imagination – and maybe some elbow grease – is all it takes to unlock all its potential. These days, the basement takes an even more prominent role, as its development is encouraged to use as a rental space or even as an AirBnB spot to augment the household income.

26 New Home + Condo Guide | Nov. 10–Dec. 8, 2023

In Calgary, most single-family homes have a basement, and some townhomes too. Some are now designed with nine-foot ceilings that make the lower level feel less dungeon-y. The popularity of including a side entrance to the home has made the basement development

even more functional and appealing as a rental space. And of course, a basement development on a walkout lot is the high-water mark for lifestyle points. Many homebuilders now offer developing the basement with the construction of the pre-sale home Cedarglen Homes


to save the owner the trouble of doing it themselves later. The latest showhomes from Homes by Avi and Cedarglen Homes in Rockland Park in the northwest shows just how utterly livable today’s basements can be. WHAT’S THE ADVANTAGE OF DEVELOPING THE BASEMENT?

Many of the new communities in Calgary are now zoned for developed basement suites and homebuyers are realizing the full potential of the home by including this in their mortgage. “One of the major perks of developing a basement right off the bat with your homebuilder is that you will get to enjoy the extra space right away and make the most out of the extra square footage,” says Cedarglen Homes’ Lauren Friesen, Showhome Design Consultant. “In addition, the homebuilder often has a welldesigned basement layout already predetermined for the house that you are building that will optimize the space and ensure everything is built to code.”

“A finished basement will increase the value of your home,” says Gary Streng, Homes by Avi’s Area Sales Manager at Rockland Park. “Finishing your basement adds additional square footage for livable space, more storage room or could be used as a rental suite.” “It can also be a great space for entertainment by adding a basement bar and media center,” adds Homes by Avi’s Showhome Decorator, Rachel Amsterdam. “Another advantage for developing the basement would be extra space for guests or privacy for teenagers to use and have their own space.” WOULD YOU ADVISE NEW HOMEBUYERS TO DEVELOP THE BASEMENT AS THE HOME IS CONSTRUCTED?

“We always recommend that homebuyers develop the basement of the home if they know they have plans to do so soon anyways,” Cedarglen’s Jaliali says. “By having the homebuilder build the basement,

you can ensure that the same skilled trades that completed the rest of your home are doing the work and that everything will be built consistently, and most importantly up to building code. In addition, you avoid the inconvenience down the line of having to live in your home while renovations are being done and finding skilled trades to complete the work. Cedarglen Homes is currently running a limited time promo for their front drive garage homes where buyers can get free basement development (around 450 square feet) which is an approximately $30,000 value, Friesen adds. Homes by Avi takes the same approach. “Out of convenience if you’d like to use your basement right when you move in. Also, if you want a consistent design and similar finishing’s as the rest of your home, it would be a good idea to develop it at the same time. Typically, $30,000 to $35,000,” Streng says. BASEMENT DESIGN INNOVATION

Homes by Avi

Basement development has come a long way over the years and these spaces can often feel just as bright and airy as the main and upper floors. Friesen says at Cedarglen, they make sure that basements have big windows. “Windows that let in natural light make a big difference in how bright the space can feel, and walkout basements – like in our Rockland Park front-drive showhomes – will provide the best lighting due to the size of the windows it can accommodate,” she says.

“Other important factors to consider would be the location of the mechanical room. In order to maximize the square footage of the home, it is beneficial if all the mechanical systems can be tucked away into one corner of the basement to allow for more open space for the other rooms.” Homes by Avi’s Amsetrdam emphasizes the need for proper lighting in the basement. “Installing proper lighting and increasing the window sizes will enhance and brighten the space. We usually recommend a nine-foot basement foundation, this will make the space feel much larger and more open.” But she says the most essential thing to consider when thinking of basement design is – what do you want the space to accomplish. “Do you want a suite or a gym or a space for guests or an entertainment area? Having higher ceilings and windows creates a brighter and more spacious feel but is not necessary for most basements.” She says natural light can be brought in with larger basement windows or patio doors for a walkout basement if the lot allows. “Ensuring your basement has enough artificial light is another important detail to consider. Adding pot lights or recessed lighting throughout is very important to ensure all the space is bright and useable. Another way to keep a basement feeling bright and open is to use light paint colors.” USING SPACE WISELY

No matter the size of the home, maximizing every inch of space is as essential in the basement as it is anywhere else in the home. “Regardless of the home style that we build, we always try to maximize the useable space we can offer in our basement developments,” Friesen says. “If you have a smaller home style such as a duplex or laned home, it is important to remember that you can still have a basement that serves your needs if you make use of the space efficiently.” “In our most recent front-drive garage showhomes in Rockland Park,

we decided to showcase two different options one can consider when developing a basement. Our Elbow SSY 24 showhome features a 685 sq. ft. walk-out basement that includes a spacious open concept rec room, as well as a bedroom and full bathroom. This basement offers the perfect space for a family movie night, or entertaining friends and family. The large living space designed with large-scale furniture and the creation of a games area allows for great flow throughout the rooms without feeling too cramped. Next door at our Glenbow 26 showhome, our team has designed an impressive 2-bedroom legal secondary suite. As a walk-out basement, this suite features plenty of natural light and includes 2 bedrooms, a full bathroom, in-suite laundry, and an L-shaped kitchen that overlooks the great room. One of the benefits of building a secondary suite with Cedarglen Homes, is that we ensure all the legal requirements are met to classify it as a legal suite enabling the homeowners to rent the space out and gain some supplementary income.

Homes by Avi’s Rockland Park showhomes have similarly smartly designed basements that display the full potential of the home.

“Our legal suite for our Titus Showhome in Rockland Park is a great example of how you can increase the value of your home and have a rental suite for investment or a perfect spot for extended family to stay,” Streng says. “We are very proud of the basement development in the Titus in Rockland Park,” Amsterdam adds. “This basement feels bright, open and is extremely functional. With a full kitchen, dining space, large living room, spacious bedroom, full bathroom and laundry, there isn’t a whole lot more that you can want in your basement suite. It has an open concept which is great for entertaining and allows the natural light from the patio doors of this walk-out basement flowing through the whole space. With a fun decal detail in the living room, the space has personality but can be easily changed.” More information at homesbyavi.com

With demand for homes outpacing supply, independent real-estate analysts confirm that buying at Arris Residences now will provide a solid return on investment…

EXPLOSIVE DEMAND FOR CONDO PRESALES ARRIS OFFERS MANY FIRSTS AS INVESTORS FLOCK TO CALGARY

Bosa Development

Calgary’s condo presales bucked predictions and defied market odds to – once again – become Canada’s most active, desirable, and affordable housing sector. In fact, data reveals that presales recently broke a record set 10 years ago. And now, new supply is about to relieve the pressures of explosive demand for quality investments and housing. With all eyes on Calgary, Bosa Development, the company that revolutionized smart growth living in the city, is launching presales of Arris Residences. This tower marks many firsts for Calgary and will soon become its most coveted downtown address. “Arris Residences distinguishes itself in so many ways, redefining vertical living,” said Robert Marchand, an executive with Bosa Development. “From larger floorplans to the most comprehensive in-house amenities ever offered in Calgary to having daily conveniences and a full-service grocery giant right downstairs and accessible from inside, we invite you to see Arris for yourself.” Arris is hard to miss. At 41 storeys, it assumes a striking place on the downtown skyline and will offer unmatched vast views that will never be obstructed. It is in East Village just steps from Calgary’s urban centre with financial, dining, and cultural hubs, plus free downtown train, and steps from naturescapes offered by the Bow River waterfront and park.

And unlike other condo buildings under development, Arris will be ready for residents to enjoy within months after purchase, as the building nears completion. “With demand for homes outpacing supply, independent real-estate analysts confirm that buying at Arris Residences now will provide a solid return on investment both through rent rates and resale,” said Marchand. Designed with care, the homes are larger-thanaverage with timeless contemporary colour schemes offered in either light or dark. Throughout, you will find wide-plank flooring, warm pot lighting, and custom roller blinds. Bosa Development is known to exceed its own standards of excellence with each project it builds. With wellness mattering more than ever, Arris’ amenities span 25,000+ square feet and are designed to be enjoyed year-round… and there’s a bonus for dogs. “Bosa Development designed in-house amenities as an oasis that can be enjoyed all year, complete with a large swimming pool, sauna, and hot tub,” said Marchand. “Also, residents can enjoy free yoga classes and a gym fit for professional athletes.” And that’s not all. Arris Residences creates social opportunities with two massive outdoor green spaces that include a barbecue, indoor and outdoor lounges, and a chef’s kitchen to host events. And going the mile, Bosa Development offers yet another first.

“We know the importance and health benefits of fur companions, so we created an outdoor area for dogs,” said Marchand. “So, while residents and children are enjoying Arris’ outdoor spaces, their dogs can roam, play, and socialize.” Additionally, there are several private study rooms that have proven to be a major draw for residents in Arris’ sister tower. Bosa Development is known in Calgary for its projects, The Royal and Evolution. Find out more at arrisresidences.ca
