EDITOR’S NOTE

FABULOUS FALL

PEPPER RODRIGUEZ EDITOR New Home + Condo Guide

The fabulous colours of fall in Calgary never fail to impress, taking in the sights along the Bow River, or a quiet stroll through Fish Creek Park amidst the changing hues of autumn can heal the soul. Imagine enjoying these sights from the comfort of your own front porch. That’s exactly what you get in Homes by Dream’s new Court homes in the dynamic, urbanist-designed community of Alpine Park. This outstanding new community in the southwest that graces our cover this month is just about to open their first showhomes, and we offer a quick peek at the Sinclair built by Dream’s homebuilding arm – Homes by Dream. The new porch-front design brings back homes with beautiful front yards instead of garages and driveways. Check them out when they open on October 30. Our showhome tours don’t stop there as we also take readers on a tour of Legacy, where Trico Homes reintroduces their latest duplex homes in this popular southeast community. We also spoke with a couple of new homeowners at Morrison Multi-Family’s Q in Sage Hill Quarter condos in the northwest and find out why it fits their lifestyle. Congratulations, as well, to all the winners and finalists at this year’s BILD Alberta Awards! We have the full list inside. Find out if your favourites made the prestigious list. We also spent an eye-opening afternoon in Calgary’s Downtown, and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Find out what’s new in our Explore Downtown Calgary story inside. There is more to talk about in my Inside Calgary news column about where the latest showhome and community launches are happening. You can follow us on Facebook and Instagram for up-todate information on that. See you in the showhomes.

Dream The front porch Takes centerstage in alpine park by PePPer rodriguez

With its rolling terrain and bountiful amenities, the southwest has long been the most sought-after location for Calgary homebuyers. But selection was limited, as for nearly two decades there hadn’t been much new community development in this sector similar in scale to other parts of the city. Until now. Dream just launched Alpine Park and beginning October 30th the community’s first showhomes

10 New Home + Condo Guide | Oct. 15–Nov. 12, 2021

spotlight the enormous lifestyle opportunities available here with an emphasis on the front porch. Dream, which has previous experience developing southwest communities like West Springs, Wentworth, and Castle Keep, indeed has the background to bring about the new face of the SW with Alpine Park. And its home-building arm – Homes by Dream – plays an integral part in this transformation with its new line of family-friendly porch-front homes. Providing the key to this new growth opportunity is the recent opening of southwest portion of Calgary’s Ring Road. The new access point opens the vast land west of the Stoney Trail - past established communities like Bridlewood, Canyon Meadows and Evergreen. “The west side of Calgary had been trapped in time for so long and communities just kept growing further and further south, the potential was untapped,” says Michael Tandara, Dream’s Director, Marketing, Western Canada.

“Dream has been assembling land in the area for over two decades, so it’s exciting to see the transformative kind of human-oriented community we’d envisioned for the area come to life.” Alpine Park will rise in a 640-plus-acres of land adjacent to the western boundaries of Fish Creek Provincial Park – one of the largest urban parks in the country. It will house an estimated 10,000 residents on build out. “(Alpine Park) is just part of over 1,600 acres Dream holds in the area,” Tandara says. “So we’re here for the long haul.” Dream is launching Alpine Park in style with numerous never-before-seen home designs from its founding builder partner group that includes, Calbridge Homes, Cardel Homes, Genesis Builders, and Homes by Dream. The first phase will have townhomes and laned homes, but Dream is particularly excited about the new court and vintage home types that will be making their debut in Alpine Park. “These are larger, wider porchfront homes that put a premium on curb appeal and charm,” says Francesca La Monaca, Director, Sales, at Homes by Dream. “Court homes range from 26- to 32-feet wide and from 1,600 to 2,500 square-feet, while vintage homes are up to 52-feet wide with 2,700 square-feet of living space.” Homes by Dream is unveiling its Sinclair showhome on October 30th, with a dramatic Engler farmhouse model to follow in November and a prairie-style Morrow in the new year. These three unique designs exemplify Dream’s vision for a people-centred community that focuses on the home and the

homeowners that live there rather than vehicle-centric approach seen in most North American cities. Court homes locate the garage in the rear – either a double rear attached garage or a detached garage with up to three bays – rather than at the front of the home. Green yards and outdoor living space replace the concrete driveways to create a more pleasant, communal environment. In this way, Alpine Park can be seen as a throwback to Calgary’s most charming and desirable historical neighbourhoods with homes that emphasize connection to the community streetscape. “Our court homes will have larger windows in front that have a huge positive effect on the way we live,” La Monaca says. “Not only do these bring more natural light into the interior of the home, they also allow homeowners to keep an eye on children playing out front, whether along treed boulevards or greened park spaces and encourage friendlier relations with neighbours.” “We also take full advantage of the added exposure of corner lots with homes that feature a more pronounced, wrap-around street presence,” Tandara adds. All homes in the community include premium Hardieboard or stucco exteriors, extensive architectural detailing and front and back outdoor spaces perfect for enjoying an indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The first of the court showhomes Dream is introducing is the Sinclair, a Mountain Craftsman style home with heavy stone and cedar accenting. It has 2,300-square-feet of living space and features a 10foot ceiling in the foyer. It has a flex room at the front of the house, an extra-long island that works great for busy families, La Monaca says.

nexthome.ca 11

“Its two-way fireplace connects the living room and the back deck in such a wonderful way and allows owners to maximize the enjoyment of their private outdoor space.” The Engler, which will follow in November, is the home La Monaca says may just be her favourite. It is one of the corner property court homes that Dream puts extra attention into. “It fronts the Hearth green court park on two sides and really makes an unmatched statement in its exterior and interior design,” she adds. The Morrow, another park-oriented home, is 2,500 square-feet with a Prairie Architecture elevation graced by brick accents. It has a double attached rear garage for convenience and 10-foot-high ceilings throughout the main floor for added grandeur. It also features a formal dining room that gives it a more traditional, timeless character. Apparent in Homes by Dream’s line is the simplicity with which it approaches homebuilding. “The goal is the ensure the process is streamlined, easy, and achieves a high-design outcome without a lot of the intimidation of more custom approaches, working with designers like Calgary’s Amanda Hamilton to curate inspired palettes,” La Monaca says. These palettes make it easier for homeowners to personalize their home and trust in the outcome. Dream has always believed that a home can only be as good as the community it is in. Now, they are putting this principle to work in Alpine Park. “It’s a truly walkable community where walking is a proper joy – whether that’s along tree-lined streets or off the road entirely through the green court system connected to six major parks and the community’s urban heart,” Tandara says. Alpine Park’s Village Centre will become the commercial and social hub of the community. It will feature a vibrant array of restaurants, stores, and services supported by locals and visitors and will host various community engagement activities like art shows. More importantly, it’s accessible within an eight-minute walk from almost anywhere in Alpine Park. With the completion of Stoney Trail, Alpine Park is just 20 minutes to the vibrancy of 17th Avenue SW yet you can be at a campsite along the river in Kananaskis in less than 30 minutes. With prices starting from $525,900, La Monaca believes that Alpine Park will make the southwest not just sought-after but attainable, as well. “Feedback has already been very favourable. Alpine is perfect for people who expect a little more from their community,” she adds. For more information, visit the showhomes along Fish Creek Blvd and 37th St. SW, or go to homesbydream.ca. 12 New Home + Condo Guide | Oct. 15–Nov. 12, 2021

OSPREY PARK

WHAT’S HAPPENING The young community of Wolf Willow by the Bow River brings affordability and style in a riverside community for everyone, now it brings fun too. This southeast community by WestCreek Developments just opened its first playground: Osprey Park. “We are excited to announce the completion of Wolf Willow’s first themed playground, Osprey Park!” says Kalida Manarin, Marketing Manager at WestCreek. “As you may or may not know, all of Wolf Willow’s playground’s themes are centred on local wildlife and history. Osprey Park is inspired by the osprey, a bird of prey, found in the neighbouring Fish Creek Park.” The playground opening also coincided with the unveiling of new showhomes in Wolf Willow’s latest phase, including Madison Avenue Group, Trico Homes and Look Master Builder. Visit liveatwolfwillow.ca for more.

Brookfield Residential opens Rockland Park Fresh off winning the Pinnacle Award for Developer of the Year at the 2021 BILD Alberta Awards, Brookfield Residential is embarking on a new development that will likely see it win even more awards in the coming years. The renowned developer just opened its newest community development – Rockland Park – with 14 new showhomes and three presentation centres. “Rockland Park is designed with all four seasons in mind and was purposely imagined with activated pathways in both summer and winter” says Jessie Seymour, Sr. Manager – Marketing and Community Experience. Rockland Park offers a wide range of home styles for all generations, from townhomes to estate homes. Homebuyers can choose from floorplans 14 New Home + Condo Guide | Oct. 15–Nov. 12, 2021

DID YOU KNOW?

There are more than 200 art galleries, parks, public art, historical buildings and areas, and shopping malls in Calgary’s downtown core.

My Legacy Park II’s newest show suites The goal at Brad Remington Homes always been to make the homebuyer’s dream come true, and they have turned a lot of those dreams into reality with their wide variety of successful series of multi-family developments across the city. But the overwhelming response they received for their latest development, My Legacy Park I & II, surpasses even the lofty goals they set for themselves, as the award-winning condo moves to its final building. Six new show homes have recently opened at My Legacy Park II giving visitors the opportunity to marvel at the easy, convenient, amenity-rich lifestyle available in this well-established community of Legacy in south Calgary. “The show suites are a combination of some of our most popular plans that have been redesigned with improvements and brand new first time show suite models,” says Bryan Logel, vice-president of sales and marketing of Brad Remington Homes.

Being featured as a showhome for the first time is the Nicole II, a 923-square-foot, two-bedroom, two-bath model. “This plan came from customer feedback and reflects the buyer’s changing needs. The first thing you’ll notice is its space,” he adds. Find out more at www.mylegacypark.com

Harmony’s vision comes to life One of the winningest community developments in the Calgary area put another feather in its cap in September – in fact it put two! First is winning Best Existing Community at the 2021 BILD Alberta Awards, and the other is for the start of construction of the clubhouse at the Mickelson National Golf Club. Harmony – a joint development between Bordeaux Developments and Qualico Communities - was

nominated for Existing Community of the Year, Show Home Parade of the Year and the Developer Pinnacle Award. Through extensive peer review and judging, Harmony was awarded Existing Community of the Year, which all goes to prove that its vision for creating a world-class lake community at the western outskirts of Calgary is working. The new clubhouse for its neighbouring Mickelson National Golf Club goes along with Harmony’s vision. It will create a gathering place for golfers, members and guests to meet and socialize during their visit to this beautiful championship-designed golf course. The Clubhouse will include men’s and women’s locker rooms, outdoor dining overlooking multiple holes on the course, and spacious indoor dining options which will provide amenities and services for every member and guest to enjoy. Residents of Harmony have the added benefit of receiving Social membership status at Mickelson National Golf Club once they take possession of their homes.

Trico’s ouTsTanding duplex legacy by PePPer rodriguez

The duplex can be a lot of things to a lot of people. It can be a starter home for those looking for an affordable way to get in the homeowning market; a downsizer or empty-nester home for those needing to scale back their lifestyle; they can even be a whole but separate household where mom and dad can live in one side of the duplex, and their grown kids in the other. At Trico Homes, the duplex has become a hit! The award-winning homebuilder has expanded the range of duplex homes it offers, and now Trico Homes has released their latest duplex offerings in the southeast community of Legacy. 18 New Home + Condo Guide | Oct. 15–Nov. 12, 2021

“Trico has been offering duplexes in the community of Legacy since 2013; we are one of the premier builders in the community. We started building our duplexes in Phase One, and today we are in Phase 25,” says Trico Homes area manager, Carmen De Luca. The new phase the duplexes are in is also one of the most sought after. “This is such a special phase because we’re close to the ridge – a preserved natural green area that borders this beautiful community – with amazing views of downtown, the Bow River, and so much more.” Trico’s duplexes in Legacy also now have plans that allow

buyers to build a home that fits their wants and needs, she adds. “Whether you prefer an open concept main floor, a flex room on the main floor, or a separate entrance to the basement, we are able to accommodate all those options and more, all at a very attractive price point.” Trico Homes’ process includes the buyers in every step so they can have their input into everything that’s important to them in their home. “Our homeowners choose the lot, the floorplan, and everything that goes into their new home. They get to visit our suppliers, as well as our brand new Design Centre, where they really do

get to pick every detail of their new home,” De Luca says. Trico Homes offers laned duplex homes in Legacy with parking pads in the rear. Their two most popular models, the McKenzie and the Rowan II, are available, and they recently added another bestseller – the Raeya – into the mix. The McKenzie, which starts at 1,604 square-feet, works well for the work-from-home owners, De Luca says. “This model offers a flex room on the main level that is perfect for a home office or entertainment room. It has a modern kitchen with a corner pantry, spacious nook, and plenty of living space.” The Rowan II is 1,730 squarefeet, with an open concept main floor. “This home has a spacious great room that connects to the nook. The rear kitchen is a showstopper and makes buyers

forget that they are in a duplex, as it offers plenty of cabinetry, a large pantry, and is perfect for entertaining or large family dinners. It has a loft on the second level, which is standard with three bedrooms, and the master is especially spacious.” The newest and largest model in Legacy is the Raeya, at 1,802 square-feet. “This model offers a grand flex room on the main level, which is also great for an office, and has an open concept great room and nook that connects to the rear kitchen, making this home a fabulous choice for both leisure and family life. On the second floor, this home features three bedrooms plus a bonus room. We are so excited to offer this floor plan as a duplex and we think buyers are going to love it!” De Luca points out that all of Trico’s duplex homes in Legacy

come with three bedrooms as the standard, with the option to upgrade to four bedrooms - or even five bedrooms in the Raeya. “The Raeya has a main floor bedroom option which is great for multigenerational living.” These duplex homes also come with a 20-by-21-foot double gravel parking pad in the rear. “Buyers can choose to add a garage with Trico at time of purchase or add a garage in the future.” Trico’s duplex models also offer a wide range of higherthan-industry-standard features, including nine-foot tall ceilings, engineered hardwood throughout the main floor, stainless steel kitchen appliances and 1-1/4inch quartz kitchen countertops. “Our homes have energy efficient features that help lower the utility costs, and a home warranty program that adds peace of mind,” De Luca says. Legacy has been one of the fastest growing communities in the southeast, with familyfriendly features like pathways, playgrounds and parks already complete for residents to enjoy. The new Township Commercial Centre at its entrance is already going up and promises to be a hub of retail services for this whole sector of Calgary.

5 TIps for sEllIng Your HomE in the Fall or WInTEr

Cody Battershill Are you planning on selling your home during the colder seasons? While sales activity in Calgary is typically higher in the spring and summer, selling your home in the fall or winter isn’t too much different. You can do a lot to help your home feel warm, welcoming and bright to a potential buyer. So, if you are thinking about selling this fall or winter, read on for some easy tips to help make your transaction a success! #1 - “Summer” Photo Album

Showcase all that your home has to offer by providing potential buyers with the opportunity to see how it looks during the warmer seasons. Include a photo album or digital slideshow of your home’s exterior in the spring and summer. Highlight patios, decks and outdoor furniture so buyers can envision themselves living in your home year-round. Nearby parks and ravines should also be photographed during the “green” seasons to let potential buyers know what the local area has to offer as well. #2 - FirSt imPreSSionS

Leaf and snow-covered driveways/ walkways can make a beautiful home look sloppy and poorly maintained, so it’s in your best interests to keep all these clear and free of debris. Patios, balconies and any other outdoor living spaces should also be kept clean so that potential buyers can

explore them and get a good feel for these areas. Bringing attention to the features of your home used during the spring or summer will help spark visitors’ interest. #3 - light, light, light

Opening all blinds and curtains will make your windows look bigger and encourage natural light to flow into your home. Change out dim lightbulbs and replace them with brighter options. Use hardwood to your advantage and remove unnecessary area rugs to have daylight bounce off your floors. Consider digging out some old floor lamps and add them to rooms with dark corners to create a warmer setting. Landscape lighting also helps add flare to your home colder the colder seasons, especially when potential buyers may be visiting after dusk. Outdoor lighting will amplify your home’s appeal while also making for a safer environment by helping guide potential buyers safely to and from your home. #4 - WArmth iS good

Check your home’s windows and doors for drafts and seal any leaks wherever necessary. Ensure your home’s heating system is well-maintained and operating as intended. Consider turning up the heat just a bit more than you would on a regular day to help your space feel warm and inviting for potential buyers. Perform standard home maintenance and swap out your furnace filters to reduce dust and allergens. If you have a fireplace, utilize its warmth and leave it on for showings if possible.

“

Bringing attention to the features of your home used during the spring or summer will help spark visitors’ interest.

”

#5 – CleAn uP betWeen ShoWingS

Shoe trays will help reduce the amount of slush and muck bring tracked into your home during seasons. Keep a wet mop handy and vacuum area rugs, entranceway mats and hardwood often. Don’t lose focus on the outside walkways; ensure they are de-iced and cleared often. Happy House Hunting!

Re-discoveRing Calgary’s downtown by PePPer rodriguez

It’s no secret, times are tough in Calgary’s downtown right now. The pandemic, the soft economy, the high office vacancy rates, and more, have all combined to put a damper on the vibrancy of the city centre. But on a lovely fall afternoon, amidst the stunning foliage lining the river pathways, and the weekend strollers taking in the last little bit of warm weather, the downtown area never seemed more alive. For those who haven’t visited the city core in a while, they’re in for a surprise in what it offers not just by way of the new sights and sounds of downtown, but also in the array of residential options it now offers. 24 New Home + Condo Guide | Oct. 15–Nov. 12, 2021

The East Village had long been the hotspot of residential growth. A 2016 census says there are 3,242 residents living in this redeveloped area just east of the core, and its population is expected to rise 200 per cent by 2042. Many of the residential towers – including Verve by FRAM Slokker - have been built out since then and there are still move-in ready options. There is also Waterfront, a master planned, mixed use community on the banks of the Bow River where Prince’s Island Park meets Chinatown. The 5.2-acre site has been transformed from the former home of the Greyhound bus barns to a sophisticated downtown

community and is touted as the single largest condominium development in Calgary at over 1 million square-feet, with over 19,000 square-feet of retail amenities. Downtown residents get to enjoy the new RiverWalk urban waterfront park, a four-kilometre stretch of walking and biking trails skirting the Bow River. It is a beautiful promenade where pedestrians and cyclists can enjoy some green space in the heart of the city. It was also designed to preserve and protect the river environment as well as flood protection. The RiverWalk stretches from the west part of downtown on the tip of Prince’s Island Park near the

iconic Peace Bridge all the way to East Village, and it is a lively, Instagram-worthy spot in early fall. The city recognizes the importance of the downtown core to all of Calgary and in April, City Council approved a $200M Greater Downtown Plan. According to the Calgary Downtown Association (CDA), the plan is the result of extensive engagement with citizens, the CDA, the downtown business community, and community associations. “But while the consultations were varied and extensive, the plan has one goal: create a thriving downtown so that Calgary itself can thrive. That means creating a place where people want to live and businesses want to set up shop,” the CDA says.

The $200M investment is the first step. The money is earmarked to address office vacancy, improve downtown vibrancy and support the development of complete neighbourhoods. The lion’s share of the money will go toward Arts Commons Transformation Phase 1 ($80M) and projects to improve public spaces and downtown neighbourhoods ($55M). Prince’s Island Park is already getting an upgrade with the construction of a new pedestrian bridge to Eau Claire. The iconic, historic park, which used to be a sawmill, had seen life return over the summer with the return of Calgary Folk Fest. Of course, River Café at the heart of the island is still the spot for a romantic dinner or a relaxing brunch.

TD Square

Peace Bridge

Stephen Avenue

Speaking of restaurants, the downtown offers anything and everything from boisterous night clubs, character-filled pubs and eateries, and world-class diners offering dishes of every international stripe. On can experience all this in a leisurely stroll through Stephen Avenue. It is Calgary’s main connector to arts, culture and commerce, and the City is working on plans to improve the look and accessibility of this vital stretch of 8th Avenue SW. Shopping is also abundant in the core at the CORE Shopping Centre. It collects the various downtown shopping malls of TD Square, the Holt Renfrew building, and the former Calgary Eaton Centre. It is the dominant shopping complex located in the downtown core of Calgary and spans three city blocks and contains approximately 160 retailers on four levels. It also houses the new and improved, City-run Devonian Gardens. The Devonian Gardens is an indoor urban oasis in the heart of Calgary that offers one hectare of botanical gardens including over 500 trees, 50 varieties of plants, a 900 square-feet living wall, fountains, fishponds and a playground to climb and explore. There is so much more to explore in Calgary’s downtown core, it’s time for everyone to visit – maybe even make plans to move there – and help its continued growth. nexthome.ca 25

ProPerty Profile | Q in Sage Hill Quarter

Love at first sight at

by PePPer rodriguez

For Javier Mateo, it was love at first sight the minute he saw Q in Sage Hill Quarter. The condo development by Morrison Homes Multi-Family in the northwest checked everything he could want for his new downsizer lifestyle. “I have a background in civil engineering and architecture and the instant I saw Q, I knew it was what we wanted,” Javier tells Calgary New Home + Condo Guide. Javier, his wife, Magdoxi, and two daughters – Maria Jesus, and Marcella – immigrated from Venezuela and moved to Calgary in 2017. They have been living in the northeast community of Livingston in a two-storey singlefamily home for the past couple of years. “But with my eldest daughter getting married, we find that it’s now too big for just the three of us.” 28 New Home + Condo Guide | Oct. 15–Nov. 12, 2021

He was exploring northwest communities when he found the Q sales centre and instantly knew this would be the perfect new home for their scaled-down needs. “It’s like a small town of its own with plenty of amenities already in the development itself. The condo itself has a beautiful design and the suites are very comfortable and well-appointed. In addition, Javier says the developers were “very receptive” to some of his suggestions that could improve the design, especially of the bedrooms. “The best part is now I don’t have a lawn to mow or a driveway to shovel.” The low-maintenance lifestyle has always been a key appeal for Q. It is centrally located in the northwest community of Sage Hill, and lies in the very heart of a dynamic Sage Hill Quarter

commercial centre, that is quickly becoming the retail and social hub of the neighbourhood. “Q is the first condominium development specifically designed to fit within a commercial development. The development was designed in perfect harmony with what we think will be a very vibrant community over the next five to 10 years,” says Rob Kennedy, president of Morrison Homes Multi-Family. The Sage Hill Quarter retail centre is a 16-acre mixed-use development that features an array of sought-after businesses and amenities. Developed by Ronmor, it is projected to have over 172,000 square-feet of commercial space aimed to bring a “urban vibe” to the northwest, says KaylaRae Maurer, marketing lead for

Morrison Homes Multi-Family. Sage Hill Quarter recently welcomed new businesses including a family doctor’s office, dentist, physiotherapy clinic, child daycare centre, vet, men’s barber shop, 30- minute fit, Tim Hortons and the popular Bow Tie Pizza chain. And more are coming soon and interested parties can check out the https://www. sagehillquarter.ca/directory for more information. Best of all, this urban lifestyle that Q Condos offers is available at a fraction of the cost of living in the city core. The amenity-rich location ties in perfectly with the energetic lifestyle that Q Condos in Sage Hill Quarter offers. “This is an ideal location, right in the heart of a commercial centre- with a host of local businesses.” she says. The suites themselves are models of style, functionality and elegance, with a modern and sophisticated vibe that is unlike any other suburban multi-family. “The condos already include upgraded features with gorgeous interiors, and stylish and functional

+ Community Sage Hill NW

Magdoxi and Javier in the Q show suite

floorplans. Residents are able to enjoy the secure heated underground parking, nine-foot ceilings, contemporary cabinetry, hard surface countertops, stainless steel appliances and array of designer interior selections. The specifications and building products selected for Q make these condos the epitome of stylish condo living in the coveted northwest.” Maurer says floorplans offer a “dreamspace” option that can suit the buyer’s personal lifestyle choice. “It’s perfect for those working from home or couples who need a little more space,” she says. Q Condos offer one- and two-bedroom suites up to 1,200 square-feet. There will be two buildings with a total of 173 condos. In building two, two separate guest suites are included, these guest suites

will be available for use by all homeowners for their out-oftown guests. Q Condos appeal to both the millennial and – like Javier – the rightsizer generations. The urban lifestyle it embraces is what many in these two generations of homebuyers are looking for - a community that offers ease of living convenience with an abundance of amenities and opportunities that allow them to be part of this walkable community. “We are discussing getting a unit here as well for our youngest daughter,” Javier says, and his family is already excited to move in Q this month. “For us, Q stands for ‘quality’,” Visit the presentation centre at Address: 67 Sage Berry Way N.W. or go to www.myqcondo.ca for more information.
