I speak from experience when I say Calgary is a land of new opportunities, and more than 20 years since my family moved here, it continues to be so. With the ever-growing list of new communities coming up, there always seems to be somewhere here that a family can find the spot to set roots. Take our cover story on Creekstone by Apex Developments in the south of Calgary. It offers a fresh take on family living with its connection to nature and amenities, as well as the new home designs from its estimable builder group that includes Brookfield Residential, Excel Homes and Truman. Check out the story inside and the showhomes when they open this summer. The townhome lifestyle is nothing new, of course, but the extremely functional, stylish, and convenient designs that are offered by today’s builders certainly bears another look. We spoke to Partners Development Group and StreetSide Developments about their new townhome designs and see why they may be the best option for new homebuyers. Design centres have become one of the most important innovations in the home industry in the last few years. Now, homebuyers have the opportunity to make all their selections in one place, sometimes with a dedicated design expert to help them complete the vision for their home. We feature a few of the biggest ones in town to show you what they are all about. Be sure to tune in next month when we list down the winners for this year’s BILD Calgary Region gala awards. We’re excited to attend the event that will have its first in-person celebrations in two years. We’ll tell you all about it next issue.

COVER STORY
FIND YOUR HAPPY PLACE IN
CREEKSTONE by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ
At the crossroads of nature, accessibility and convenience sits the new lifestyle-oriented community of Creekstone. Mountain vistas, a connection with nature, at the heart of the fast growing southwest, this new community is about to open eyes to a whole new style of living.
Truman – Finch

New Home + Condo Guide | April 29-May 27, 2022
Just off the west side of Macleod Trail in the rapidly growing southern limits of Calgary, Creekstone offers the fertile ground where families can set down their roots. And everyone will get the chance to see all it has to offer as pre-sales have commenced.
“Creekstone is a SW enclave within the greater Pine Creek community. In Creekstone you are close to amenities and major routes while still being able to enjoy the breathtaking mountain views,” says Michelle Wilken, land administrator at Apex Developments. Creekstone offers a masterplanned vision for the greater Pine Creek community. “We have made it easier than ever to plant your family roots, grow, and thrive in the city’s southwest. From park and playground spaces to future amenities like schools, commercial areas, and everyday essentials close by – you’re perfectly situated in Creekstone,” she says. Intertwined by local and regional pathways, with an environmental reserve nearby, Creekstone is as picturesque as it can get with the southern Alberta foothills and the Rockies as its backdrop.
Creekstone is on 210 Avenue in the SW, and not only does it have great access to major thoroughfares including Macleod Trail, Deerfoot Trail and Stoney Trail, it is close to key commercial areas like the thriving, new Township shopping centre and Walden Gate, both less than 10 minutes away. “Creekstone is a celebration of families, active living, wide-open spaces, and strong community ties,” Wilken says. “Your dream home will be close to parks, scenic pathways, and play spaces for all ages in this picturesque neighbourhood.” Reflecting this vision is the builder group the developers assembled for Creekstone, that includes Brookfield Residential, Excel Homes and Truman. Brookfield Residential and Excel Homes offer duplex and frontdrive homes, while Truman offers duplex homes. “We are proud to collaborate with three top award-winning builders in the design and construction of Creekstone. Each of our builders brings years of experience, trust and reliability to our community,” she adds. Brookfield Residential has two duplex models ranging in size from 1,626 to 1,686 square-feet with up to four bedrooms. Excel Homes has

two duplex models from 1,214 to 1,387 square-feet. And Truman has eight duplex models from 1,464 to 1,774 square-feet and start from the low $500,000s. Front-drive garage homes from Brookfield Residential comes in three to six bedrooms from 1,880 to 2,470 squarefeet and are from the mid $600,000s. While Excel Homes offers three- and four-bedroom front-drive garage homes from 1,786 to 2,353 square-feet that start from the mid $600,000s. Creekstone will have a timeless look that blends well with its rich, natural surroundings. “Creekstone will be home to some of the city’s best Carriage House, Prairie Modern, Craftsman, and Urban Modern style homes, all with a creative take on timeless looks. Traditional and modern elements have been incorporated into this impressive lineup of home offerings to ensure the community’s value and style never fades,” Wilken says. Showhomes will open this June, but pre-sales have already started, and demand has been strong. The first phase is 60 per cent sold, which is no surprise, as the whole Pine Creek area is primed for growth. Creekstone is the latest community to open up in this sought-after area that is quickly blossoming into one of Calgary’s best places to call home. There are already lots of parks and pathways around the community, not to mention schools, places of worship and recreational facilities. Register today at creekstonecalgary. com to reserve your spot in what is sure to be one of Calgary’s best places to call home.

PROPERTY PROFILE | BRAD REMINGTON HOMES
PASSION, COMMITMENT INTERTWINE AT
BRAD REMINGTON HOMES by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ Sustainability and self-sufficiency aren’t just buzzwords at Brad Remington Homes, they are the key tenets in how they conduct their business and in how they lead their lives. Brad Remington founded the company in 2010 but has been constructing multi-family homes since 1996. He has built well over 4,000 homes in that time (some 1,800 with Brad Remington Homes). He has nurtured the company’s growth as one of the leading, multi-awardwinning condo developers in Calgary, but it is his family’s farming background that has instilled in him the desire and expertise to nurture seeds of ideas into fruitful enterprises. Remington is also an accomplished gardener, who finds joy in tilling the land and growing his fruits, vegetables and herbs. It is such a passion that he has grown more than enough for his family and friends and finds ways to give back to the community. He is also a beekeeper who maintains up to a maximum of 12 hives at home. The parallels between his business and his passions are apparent. Growing his business as he grows his garden and tends his bees. “The natural process of planning, cultivating, seeding/ planting, weeding and feeding, harvesting and sharing the bounty can be directly associated with any task you can imagine,” he tells Calgary New Home + Condo Guide. “From this same perspective you could say this also directs how I live and do business. Like life, it’s all in the preparation the hard work and if everything goes well you can share the success.” It is this passion for growing things that sparked his vision for the company to build timeless, well-designed condos. Since its first development in Copperfield, first-time hombuyers, empty-nester, retirees and young families have all found a home in Brad Remington Homes’ successful line of multi-family developments. They recently launched sales for their final building in

the hit Sage Hill Park II – Encore, even as they open seven new show suites that boast their vaunted eye for design and style. The latest is a upscale offering with oversized windows and bigger balconies that allow residents to enjoy the rich, lush views of the rolling prairie foothills that surround them. They come outfitted with options that are more than one can expect in suburban condos. That was always the intent of Brad Remington Homes – from their first My Copperfield Park, to My Legacy Park and My Sage Hill Park – the developer strives to improve and perfect condo living with innovative style and ideas. Much like in growing a farm. Sage Hill Park II-Encore
Farm
Sage Hill Park II-Encore
Remington says his family’s background as Southern Alberta pioneers and farmers formed his character and penchant for hard work and connection to nature. “I love spending time in nature with my family as well so the time spent gardening can be gratifying and somewhat therapeutic. Many life lessons were learned and taught farming in my family, I am sure it the same for anyone who has been involved in farming. Many of the Brad Remington staff were also raised on the farm. The Life lessons are endless!” This passion has also translated in caring for the community, and locally grown produce that he says builds self-sufficiency and encourages sustainability. “I strongly believe that everyone should have access to good quality food, especially vegetables that are grown locally,” he says. His garden overflows with kale, potatoes, onions,
peppers, cucumbers and more, he even has Saskatoon berries, Nanking cherries and strawberries. “Majority of what we grow goes to those in need. The last couple of years, we donated thousands of pounds to the food banks in Calgary and Okotoks,” he says. Brad Remington Homes started donating to those food banks in 2017 and so far, has donated over 13,000 pounds of fresh organic produce and over $30,000. “Helping the foodbank is extremely close to my heart and the staff at Brad Remington have really embraced this as a primary social initiative. It breaks my heart to see people not able to provide proper food basics for themselves or their family.” It comes down to this – Brad Remington can grow vegetables, more than enough for his own needs and it “makes sense that I could help others by donating it to agencies that can deliver to those who can help distribute it.” Sustainability is seen in the honey his bee colony produces. Not only do they provide nourishment but helps the environment by strengthening the bee population in the area. He sees in these endeavours in gardening and bee keeping a strong social connection – his multi-family developments provide affordable – even stylish – shelter, and his garden can provide nourishment. “Food is just so intertwined with so many aspects of our lives – the importance of not only proper diet and health - but being able to communicate, interact with others socially. Eating helps to create special bonds and for many it’s the most important interaction of the day.”
Sustainable practices and self-sufficiency gain even more importance in these times of supply chain shortages when relying on established providers for our daily needs has come under pressure, it is worthwhile to not only be selfreliant in addressing the needs of one’s own family but also in helping out the community at large. And this has become as important to Brad Remington as his company’s ability to provide amazing housing options to Calgarians. For more information, visit mylegacypark.com or sagehillpark.com.

WESTCREEK DEVELOPMENTS
WHAT’S HAPPENING The multi-awardwinning community of Legacy continues to impress as it opens eight new showhomes that reflect the immense quality of life this WestCreek Developments’ community offers. Jayman BUILT, Sterling Homes, Trico Homes and WestCreek Development’s own homebuilding arm, WestCreek Homes, all have a pair of front-drive garage (FDG) showhomes that exemplify the family-oriented design of Legacy. They join latest luxury estate showhomes from Crystal Creek Homes
and Morrison Homes in Legacy’s newest showhome parade. Legacy, which has already won two Community of the Year awards, is about halfway through its development and there is more to expect in this south Calgary community, including new ridge lots.

Rohit Communities begin sales for new Currie condo Get in the queue for Quesnay, Rohit Communities’ new condo development in the historic community of Currie in the southwest. “We’re proud to announce the public sales launch of Rohit’s newest project, Quesnay at Currie (pronounced: ke-nay),” says Rohit senior marketing coordinator, Stuart Wen. “These inner-city designer condos are well-connected to the best that the city has to offer with the convenience of being less than 10 minutes from downtown, 17th Avenue SW and Marda Loop.” It is a 211 unit, two-building project with one-bedroom studios, one-bed + den, and two-bedroom suites. Sizes range from 463 – 963 square feet. Prices will start from the $200,000s.
Among Quesnay’s many features is a modern lobby highlighted by a stunning lounge area with a unique, hand-made organic-looking couch, angular ceiling treatments, shimmering beaded wall curtains, and brass coloured elevators.
“Owners will love to show off this gorgeous entry to their friends and family.” Quesnay also has extensive landscaping and a terraced common area where you can lounge around or meet up with your new neighbours.
Sage Hill Park II – Encore worthy of applause The newly-opened show suites at Brad Remington Homes’ latest development, Sage Hill Park II – Encore, are easily the most remarkable examples for condo living that you can see this spring. They exemplify “living large” with its spaciousness, bigger decks and oversized windows. There are eight new show suites at Sage Hill Park II – Encore in the northwest and each one is as amazing as can be, says Bryan Logel, a Calgary multi-family sales and marketing specialist.
“This is the opportunity of a lifetime to own an amazing condo with the highest possible standards in northwest Calgary; stone counters, nine-foot ceilings, stainless steel appliances, titled parking stall, storage locker, and the most spectacular location, backing onto a natural reserve and green space!” he says. Sage Hill Park II – Encore has been an absolute hit for Brad Remington Homes as they launch sales for Building 6. There are less than 10 move-in ready suites in the two previous buildings in the development.

BRIDGELAND: CALGARY’S BRIDGE TO THE PAST AND THE FUTURE by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ
If Calgary’s downtown is its Manhattan, then across the bridge is its own Brooklyn: Bridgeland. With its bohemian vibe, rich social and cultural diversity and multifaceted history, Bridgeland is a local destination hotspot. There is a myriad of multi-cultural diners and restaurants, hipster hangouts and family fun options. It offers a wide range of residential options as well. Bridgeland is one of Calgary’s oldest neighbourhoods, settled in the 1800s by Russian-German immigrants, but by the 20th Century was home to a large Italian population. Ukrainian immigrants have also found a home here, as Bridgeland is home to Ukrainian Catholic Church of the Assumption as well as St. Vladimir’s Ukrainian Orthodox Church and Cultural Centre. Today, it is still described as having a “village feel” and residents of this northeast Calgary community love living here. It is a diverse community full of history, vibrant street life, locally owned businesses and restaurants, 18
New Home + Condo Guide | April 29-May 27, 2022
pet enthusiasts, and old established trees, Bridgeland-Riverside is a great place to call home, and with many new developments in the area, it’s easy to get a brand-new home in this established community. HISTORIC COMMUNITY
Before Europeans settled in the area, the land along the Bow River was commonly used by First Nations Peoples. The area became known as Germantown in the 1880s during Calgary’s first population boom as many German immigrants sought out a welcoming working-class community just outside the city. In the early 20th century, another influx of new immigrants brought Ukrainians and Italians into the community. An area in lower Bridgeland became known as Little Italy, a name that locals still affectionally use to refer to 1st Avenue NE. The area was renamed Bridgeland as the Dominion Bridge Company operating nearby and in 1907, Calgary annexed Bridgeland, in 1908 the Bridgeland-
Riverside community association was founded, and Riverside was officially annexed in 1910. EATS AND MORE
Well known as a community where old meets new and trendy meets traditional, the exciting fusion of this area is undeniable. Drawn by vibrant street life, especially along the vibrant 1st Avenue NE, there is a diverse range of eateries, diners, and cafes that have made Bridgeland foodie central. There is OEB Breakfast Co. and Blue Star Café for a fantastic breakfast to start the day. Or Sushi Bar Zipang and IKUSA Izakaya & Tokyo Market for some memorable Japanese dishes, La Brezza brings Italian flavour to the scene and UNA Pizza and Wine for some delectable thin-crust. There are amazing locally owned businesses worth mentioning: Bridgeland Market, Luke’s Drug Mart, Doodle Dogs, and Bike and Brew have become Calgary icons but at the core of their business they cater

A MODERN PLACE TO LIVE
As one of Calgary’s older neighbourhoods, BridgelandRiverside offers inner-city conveniences. Only a 20-minute drive to the airport, and less than a 10-minute drive into downtown Calgary, this community is ideally situated for convenient commuting. Driving is not your only option to get around as the Bridgeland Memorial C-Train station and Bow River Pathway are located within easy walking or cycling distance from the neighbourhood. Living in BridgelandRiverside also puts you near some of Calgary’s best family-friendly and entertainment hubs. It’s a short walk to St. Patrick’s Island, Tom Campbell’s Hill, the Calgary Zoo, TELUS Spark, Fort Calgary, and further along the Bow River Pathway you can get to Prince’s Island Park or Stampede Park for events. There’s plenty of new housing development in the BridgelandRiverside community. The Bridges masterplan brought over thirty acres
of new housing where the Calgary General Hospital once stood. Homeseekers can still purchase brand new condos here or explore infill projects throughout the community. Here’s our shortlist for new homes in Bridgeland-Riverside: RADIUS BY BUCCI

ADVICE | CALGARYISM
WHY BUY A TOWNHOUSE IN TODAY’S MARKET? CODY BATTERSHILL
Why should you consider buying a townhouse in Calgary? There are many reasons why a townhome may be ideal for you such as affordability, low maintenance and more security. As a result, townhouses are a great option for a full spectrum of real estate buyers – first-timers, new families, and empty nesters included. Here are three main reasons why many people choose to buy a townhome instead of a condominium or single-family property. #1 - AFFORDABILITY & SPACE
Townhomes are a more affordable option than buying a semi-detached or detached home, while offering more space than the typical condominium. They are an ideal property to consider for: • First-time buyers looking for more space than a condo but at a better price than a detached property • New families who need space to grow into while also prioritizing affordability in their home search
• Empty nesters looking to downsize and have less maintenance associated with their property Most townhomes feature multiple floors which also helps provide more space between rooms when needed – a blessing when you want some extra space. For example, having your home office on a different floor than the living room will likely keep distractive noise to a minimum and help you focus on the task at hand. Multi-floor layouts also typically mean you won’t have any unwanted noise coming from units above or below you. #2 - LESS MAINTENANCE & MORE SECURITY
Almost all townhomes are managed by a condo association that collects condo fees which are used to pay for things like exterior maintenance and landscaping. Hence, townhome living can be hugely beneficial for many types of buyers given that less time spent cutting the grass and shovelling snow means more time for the important things in life such as work and family. Townhome living also comes with added security given that these projects are often more dense, with more neighbours living closer
together who all have a common interest in keeping the property safe. Today’s digital age means frontdoor cameras and motion lights are commonplace as well, improving security for all townhome owners in any given complex. #3 - FAMILY-ORIENTED ATMOSPHERE
With common security interests also comes a family-oriented feel in many townhome complexes. You’ll see your neighbours every so often, an opportunity to connect and nurture friendly relationships, especially for new families with young children! Townhouse developments with nearby amenities such as playgrounds, schools and parks also contribute to the close-knit feel of living in a townhome community. IS A TOWNHOME FOR YOU?
A townhome may be an ideal property for you to consider buying in your next transaction depending on your real estate goals. As always, it’s essential to contact an experienced REALTOR® in Calgary before beginning your home search, one who will put your best interests at heart and help guide you throughout your next transaction. Wishing you all the best in your next real estate transaction! Happy house hunting! Cody Battershill is the founder of Calgaryism and a top producing Realtor® at RE/MAX House of Real Estate.

Copperstone luxury Vesta properties begin sales for exClusiVe luxury estate homes in Copperstone A limited number of premium walk-out lots are now pre-selling in Copperfield at Copperstone, a master-planned community by Vesta Properties. The award-winning builder/developer has more than 32 years of integrated building experience in Western Canada. There are only 14 traditional walkouts in this newest phase of Copperfield, an established community in southeast Calgary. Each lot has been exclusively developed by Vesta Properties for luxury estate single-family homes. Vesta’s Alberta sales manager, AJ van der Linden, says each lot backs onto green space.

New Home + Condo Guide | April 29-May 27, 2022
“These are large lots with the traditional setback that homeowners appreciate that are 36-feet to 38-feet wide,” he says. Vesta has designed three luxury estate models specifically for these walk-out lots, priced from the mid$800,000s. The Prestwick, with 2,508 square feet above grade, has three bedrooms, three bathrooms, an upstairs bonus room and main floor office. The next model is The Prestige, a 2,262 square foot three-bedroom, three-bathroom home with main floor office, walk-in pantry and either an open-to-below feature or fourth bedroom option. The largest luxury estate floor plan is the 2,665 square foot Canmore with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, main floor office, mudroom, and spacious primary bedroom ensuite. “One of the great features is that the secondary bedrooms have their own bathrooms. So, if the kids are getting a little bit older, they can have privacy,” he says. Each home has more than 1,000 square feet of developable space at the walk out level. Optional development presents an opportunity for more living space or as a mortgage helper as this phase of Copperstone is zoned for secondary suites. It’s a bonus for multigenerational families, van der Linden notes. Each home is customizable with standard luxury features like gourmet kitchen packages, quartz countertops and standard ninefoot ceilings on the main floor and basement/walk-out level. Copperstone is one of the last phases to be built in Copperfield. The established community has schools, parks, walking trails, stores and restaurants, transit, and enviable access to Stoney Trail. “There’s no major construction and everything you need already exists,” van der Linden says. To be one of the first in line for a walkout lot in Copperstone, visit copperstoneliving.com or visit Vesta Properties sales centre at 1233 Copperfield Blvd. S.E.

THE TIMELESS APPEAL OF THE
TOWNHOME by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ
Townhomes are a lot of things for a lot of people, but in these days of rising home prices, it may just be the best option for owning a new home. For one thing, townhomes are offered in a wide variety of styles that work for different kinds of lifestyles. They may be stacked on top of each other; or sitting side-by-side in a row; they can offer single-level living or a three-storey lifestyle; they can have condo fees and there are those that don’t. They are the most versatile housing option in the Calgary market now, and they’re super hot right now. According to the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB), townhome sales reached an all-time record high in March, contributing to year-todate sales of 1,550 units, which is a 96 per cent increase over last year. “Persistently tight” supply conditions, CREB says, have raised prices significantly as the March benchmark

hit $335,400, a four per cent rise from the previous month and 17 per cent higher than last year’s. We spoke to a couple of Calgary’s top townhome developers to get their insights on the enduring popularity of this multi-family housing type. TYPES OF TOWNHOMES
Any of the new communities around the city will offer townhome developments, and buyers have lots to choose from that can suit their needs. There are traditional townhomes that have three floors and a developable basement, then there are those with three floors but built on slab (meaning level to the ground and will not have a below-grade basement). Some have attached garages, and some don’t. Then there are stacked townhomes that place one- or two-storey units on top of each other. They give homeowners more separation than a
typical condo because each unit has its own exterior front door and there are no elevators or shared lobbies. Buyers can also find back-toback townhomes that in addition to sharing side walls, homes share a back wall with another. This improves affordability, while still giving homeowners their own space. There are quite a few more types like bungalow villas and live-work models that fall into the category. THE TOWNHOME’S ADVANTAGE
Buyers can find a townhome to fit their need almost anywhere in Calgary, in almost any style – from the modern village feel townhomes to the more traditional ones in the suburbs. What’s common among them is the relative affordability. But that’s only the start of the townhome advantage, according to Cale Marklund, Marketing Manager at Partners Development Group.
“Townhome living offers a lot of great benefits to homeowners that a duplex or laned home do not. The largest benefit of a townhome is that they’re very low maintenance. From garbage disposal, to landscaping and even exterior repairs, these are typically covered in your condo fees, a small monthly payment. With some of the weather we’ve been having the last few years with large hailstorms, that added security can be a huge bonus!” he says. Kim Orr, senior marketing specialist at StreetSide Developments, adds that the spaciousness and privacy townhomes can offer at a lower price is very much its sharpest edge. “Townhomes are a popular choice as they give you the square footage of duplex or laned homes but allow you to spend your time how you want without having to mow the lawn or shovel the walk. Townhome living also provides more of an opportunity to feel like you are part of a community as the designs of the homes are often integrated into the community,” she tells Calgary New Home + Condo Living Guide BUYERS OF EVERY STRIPE
Every buyer – from downsizers to young families buying their first home – can find townhomes irresistible.
StreetSide-Red Embers Point
“Younger first-time home buyers love the fact that they can get a two- or three-bedroom home for a lower price than they typical duplex or laned home, and still get that extra time to do what they want in their lives without worrying about all the typical maintenance details that home ownership often comes with,” Marklund says. “On the other side of things, low-maintenance living is extremely convenient for older homeowners, who maybe don’t have the ability to do the upkeep that they did in their previous single-family home.”
Symon by Partners
According to Orr, “Our core target buyers are first time home buyers who have busy lifestyles and like the security and freedom that a maintenance free townhome provides. All common areas and exterior maintenance are looked after which helps avoid any additional costs that would be out of pocket if you lived in a single-family home.” SPECIALIZING IN TOWNHOMES
Partners Development Group offers more than 20 models in communities all over the Calgary region, and they are about to add more. “We’ve got a couple of very exciting developments coming up this year, but our most recent launch is Arrive D’Arcy II, the follow-up to the very successful and popular Arrive D’Arcy, no condo fee street towns (townhomes) and rowgalows (bungalows/rowhomes) in the town of Okotoks, south of Calgary.” He says Arrive D’Arcy II has been a big hit considering it was just launched last fall. “This is an exciting project for us as at Arrive D’Arcy II, we offer a great variety of home options to suit multiple lifestyles, and the community of D’Arcy is shaping up to be a beautiful community for families.” Arrive D’Arcy II offers four different floorplans. Two two-story townhome options ranging in size from 1,886 – 1,903 square feet, as well as two bungalow options, both around 1,900 square feet when fully developed with a basement.

LIFESTYLE CENTRES: THE HOMEBUYERS’ BEST FRIEND by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ
Building a dream home takes more than wishful thinking. Figuring out the finishes that will ultimately turn a house into your dream home does take some work and effort. And in this pursuit the homebuilders’ design centres are key. There was a time when - in order to find the right flooring, lighting fixtures, appliances, and more buyers had to go all over town to find the right combination that would reflect their style. Today, many homebuilders have simplified the process by providing choices for their clients in their design centres. These in-house facilities – usually located in the home offices of the builder – centralizes the entire selection process, creating a onestop-shop where homebuyers can more easily find the combination of finishes that will complete their vision for their home. Julie Punter, Homes by Avi’s Showhome Manager of Selections and Presentation, says their design centres are the best place to start 30 New Home + Condo Guide | April 29-May 27, 2022
when making a selection for big ticket items such as flooring or cabinetry. “Especially coming through the pandemic when customers preferred interior choices may be hard to come by. We’ve continually ensured that our inventory is up to date,” she says. “The nice thing about making selections in our selection centre is that you have a designer to walk you through everything, so nothing is forgotten.” This issue, we spotlight some of the best homebuilder lifestyle centres in town, the design process

they employ, and some of the most popular design trends and materials. Each one has their own unique methods to make their clients’ dream home become a reality, and we take a look at the processes employed by Brookfield Residential, Homes by Avi, and Trico Homes to turn what could be a stressful process a more fulfilling and even enjoyable. BROOKFIELD RESIDENTIAL
The Studio, by Brookfield Residential, is a 3,700 square-foot contemporarily designed space located at the
Homes by Avi
headquarters of the renowned land development and homebuilding enterprise on Richard Road in southwest Calgary. Opened in 2017, the stylish, art gallery-like space continues to inspire all those who step inside. “Our space makes inspiring, thoughtful and functional interior design accessible to all of our homeowners,” says Mackenzie Schurer, Interior Design Manager. She says The Studio lets clients choose an array of selections within numerous interior finishing categories. And she means everything! From cabinetry selections, to flooring, plumbing fixtures and even window coverings. “Our offering allows for an incredible amount of personalization so that your home is a true reflection of your lifestyle.” she says. “The selections process begins with appliances and moves on to cabinetry and plumbing. From there, we move to plank flooring, finishing millwork details, tile and countertops. Each stage of selection builds upon each other with the convenience of completing everything in one, beautiful and inspiring space.” Schurer says.

coming through the pandemic, customers preferred interior choices may be hard to come by. They’ve continually ensured that their inventory is up to date to guarantee that their customers have the most selection available to make their home personally unique. “Maybe you have a specific cabinet you like or flooring colour, from there I would build upon that adding in and layering the details,” she says. With over 10,000 interior selections to choose from, Homes by Avi clients get to enjoy what can be an overwhelming process and find with ease the pieces that will work and tie together the look of their home. Some of the included products are stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops to the kitchen along with a large selection of cabinet colours and Luxury vinyl plank flooring (LVP). “We take a lot of pride in walking with our customers through the selections process to ensure their
vision comes to life and they feel excited.” says Meagan Hayes, Interior Design Consultant. “Meeting in-person and getting to know each customer’s personality and lifestyles helps us navigate their priorities, which allows us to make recommendations over the course of the design process so that they feel informed to make the best decision possible. ”It is important for buyers to know about the finishes that they are selecting and to ensure that it fits with their lifestyle - selecting between hardwood or LVP or between granite and quartz for an example- and our design team will ensure all their questions are answered.

They occupy a total of just under 29,000 square-feet of the first two floors of a six-storey building in a five-building complex.
