This just proves that the Calgary area remains an attractive real estate investment. Just take a look at Heartland in Cochrane – this Apex Development community is about two-thirds done and new showhomes from new homebuilders are sure to make it an even more appealing family-oriented community. Check out our cover feature to find out why homebuyers are falling in love with the community. We also take a tour of Airdrie in this edition of the monthly Explore series. It is adjudged the friendliest community in Alberta and also one of its fastest growing. There are so many new homeowning opportunities here, as it is relatively less expensive to build a home here than in Calgary, and its close-knit small-town character remains one of its biggest advantages. We also delve into the new bathroom designs for homes that not only provide a cool respite from the everyday rush, but quite a statement piece when put together to reflect one’s tastes, check out how NuVista Homes and Homes by Avi go about designing this crucial part of the home.

EDITOR’S NOTE

The entire Calgary region has been enjoying a particularly hot summer – and not just weatherwise. The new home market has been going gangbusters and more communities – as many as eight - are about to be added with the recent approval by City Council.

There’s more to look forward to as the new home market gets into gear for the fall, so follow us on Instagram and Facebook to find out the latest showhome openings and industry events you might be interested in.

Then there is also our annual look on the new front-drive garage (or FDG) homes and we have Trico Homes and Cedarglen Homes providing insights not just on the new designs and showhomes they have of this most popular type of home, but also why now might be a good time to buy despite the rise in interest rates.

And just like that, it’s the middle of August and fall is just around the corner. How was everyone’s summer? I hope you didn’t melt in the heat. As parents start gearing up for the new schoolyear, homebuilders are also getting ready for what is promising to be a busy fall homebuying season.

Two new front drive garage showomes from Excel Homes and Daytona Homes are opening in August, and Rohit Communities is ready to start building in their very own phase later this fall, says Michelle Wilken, land administrator at Apex“PhaseDevelopments.11hassome really great lots, some that back on to the future school site, and even some front drive garage lots with rear lanes!” she adds. Heartland is a 250-acre community set amidst the rolling grassland of west Cochrane, just off intersection of Hwy 1A and Hwy 22. It currently offers an exciting mix of front-drive COVER STORY

HEARTLAND:

Excel Homes, the homebuilding arm of Apex Developments, is opening a front drive model called the Fleetwood. “This is a 2,674-square-foot two-storey home with four bedrooms and three-anda-half baths,” says Excel Homes marketing manager, Kristina Plank. “The most outstanding feature of the home is the third-floor loft that includes over 500-square-foot of extra living space!” she adds. “The flexible, open concept Fleetwood is ideal for growing

families, especially with the thirdlevel loft. The main floor offers a grand great room and large kitchen with an eating nook and walk-in pantry, perfect for entertaining guests. Upstairs has a spacious master bedroom with ensuite and attached laundry - plus two additional bedrooms and a large bonus room. The Fleetwood is the perfect family home, with lots of room for Daytonaeveryone.”Homes,which is a relatively new builder in Heartland, released the Palisade II. “It is a singlefamily front attached garage, with three bedrooms, two-an-a-half baths with an optional 309-squarefoot third story loft,” says Daytona Homes co-sales consultant Josh“TheAnderson.homebacks west onto greenspace/future school site so the view is completely unobstructed,” says co-sales consultant Meghan Scott. Palisade II is geared towards a growing family, with versatile spaces on every floor. It has a great room on the main, bonus room on the second floor, plus a third storey loft that gives it enormous flexibility.

“There is a sitting room, TV area, craft room, homework space, playroom, office, home gym, so many options. This home also features a very large mudroom, central kitchen, and stunning 9-foot wide by 8-foot-high patio doors,” Scott says. “We’re brand new in Heartland and though we had a previous showhome of the same model last spring, this one that just opened has more of a stately, luxurious feel to it,” Anderson adds.

Rohit Communities has been doing great in Heartland with their line of laned and front-drive garage single-family homes and they will be spreading their wings even more in Phase“Our9.homeowners are loving Heartland because of the proximity to the mountains plus the smalltown charm that Cochrane has. Also, they’re really enjoying getting to know their neighbours,” says Stuart Wen, senior marketing coordinator at Rohit Communities. He says they still have homes from the high $400,000s with some quick possessions available with fall move-in dates. Affordability is also a major factor in Heartland’s appeal, with prices considerably less expensive than similar homes in Calgary. For example, Anderson says their Breeze II starts from $552,900 in Heartland will cost $639,900 in Calgary. “And that’s on a traditional lot in Heartland, compared to a zero-lot line in Calgary,” he tells Calgary New Home + Condo Guide. Excel offers laned homes starting from the high $400,000s in Heartland, this includes lot, house and GST. That price will get buyers a 1,493 squarefoot, three bed and two-and-a-half bath home,” Plank says. “Every Excel home is certified Built Green and comes with a free move-in concierge service, and free legal fees when using our legal partner,” she adds. Heartland is a complete community with a host of amenities that make living here a breeze, Wilken says. “We feel Heartland has everything, amenities right in Heartland at Heartland Station. Two playgrounds for kids of all ages and various play abilities. Heartland has outdoor workout equipment naturalized spaces and fields for formal sports. It also has a future school site.” “Heartland has grown so much over the last few years, and it has truly become a gem in the Cochrane area,” Excel’s Plank says. “Situated near vibrant downtown, Heartland offers heartfelt connections, family-friendly accessibility and a slower pace of life. Apex has done an exceptional job at not only building a beautiful community, but also in creating a lifestyle that families want to be a part of. Excel Homes is proud to be building in Heartland and we are very excited to open our new show home and start the next chapter!”

Scott and Anderson at Daytona Homes agree. “Heartland is a family-oriented community with a friendly small-town feel. Its location is perfect for those who prefer an outdoor lifestyle, with direct access to the mountains via Highway 1A, proximity to river pathways and walkability to the commercial amenity space,” Scott says. “The Cochrane town centre is only 5 minutes east of Heartland, and you can be within Calgary’s city limits in about 15 minutes,” Anderson adds.

CALGARY by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ Calgary Calgary 12 New Home + Condo Guide | Aug. 19–Sept. 16, 2022

WHAT’S HAPPENING Calgary is set to grow again, as City Council approved proposals that will see new communities expand to the city’s borders and prepare for an expected influx of new residents.

The City says the new communities are needed to help accommodate an estimated 88,000 people who are expected to move to Calgary over the next four years.

#InsideCalgary

The five communities recommended included three in the far southeast corner of Calgary: Seton Ridge (Brookfield Residential), Logan Landing (Genesis Land Development) and Nostalgia (Jayman Telsec). The two others are Lewiston (Genesis Land), located in the northwest, and Belvedere West (Truman), by the city’s eastern boundary.Theofficial go-ahead for three additional communities given tentative approval by council will depend on information expected in the November budget.Those communities are Rangeview Trafford (WestCreek) and Glacier Ridge communities C (Qualico Communities) and D (Brookfield Residential). Excel Homes is ramping up as they get ready for their big 35th anniversary celebrations in 2023 with a series of new showhome openings all through the fall. The award-winning homebuilder has seven new showhomes opening in Calgary and area from August to October. A few are already open, including a front-drive-garage and a laned showhome in the new Airdrie community of Cobblestone, and another front-drive home in Creekstone in the southwest. More are coming in Savanna in northeast Calgary, Heartland in Cochrane, and Rangeview in southeast Calgary. Find out more at excelhomes.ca.

This year’s theme was “Why are hazard assessments important to do?” and the Rohit team was excited to have the opportunity to be back in person to talk about this critical part of their Safety program. “Our Friday finale included a barbecue lunch (courtesy of Davidson Enman Lumber), knowledge-testing and funfilled skills drills like ‘Quick draw’ (drilling nails), ‘Keep it within the lines’ (sawing 2x4), and ‘Hammer Time’ (nailing contest),” says Rohit Communities senior marketing coordinator Stuart Wen. “There was a thank you to our trades by Garry Grant, our safety advisor, as well as several prizes handed out to contest participants,” he adds.

PRACTICAL LUXURY NEW BATHROOM DESIGNS CREATE TRENDING by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ

Today, most modern single-family homes have at least two-and-a-half bathrooms. The first is the master bath, usually an attached ensuite to the master bedroom in most moveup homes. Then there’s the main bath, usually for the use of the rest of the household. And then there is the half bath or powder room –which has now become part of the traditional design of the home and even some multi-family homes have incorporated this into their design. The first two are usually located on the second floor for privacy and functionality, and the half-bath is on the main floor to accommodate visitors. There is a trend that is seeing the half bath upgraded to a full bath – that means bathtub/shower, plus toilet and a sink - to accommodate multi-generational households.

The room that’s least seen by guests is also the room where homebuyers lavish some of the most design upgrades in the home. The bathrooms have become one of the most essential parts of the home ever since indoor plumbing became a thing. They are also a big part of what gives character and style to the home – but deciding on their style can be challenging.

She says the most requests for upgrades in the bathroom they are receiving currently is for larger glass showers with the addition of handheld shower spray heads. Free standing tubs and floating vanities are alsoNuVistapopular.has seen a rise in the requests for main floor full bathrooms, as multi-generational households have become a thing. “We have created four models with this feature as a standard. We have other plans where you could convert the half bath into a full bath easily.” They can even provide a main floor bathroom with walk-in shower or even curb-less shower.

The bathrooms of NuVista showhomes is one place where this trait can be easily seen. It is the most personable and intimate room in the home – especially the master ensuite – so NuVista takes extra pains to make it as luxurious and comfortable as possible, but with an eye still on practicality. “Creating a relaxing environment while being functional is crucial in the design of a master bathroom,” Bishop says. “It’s where we go to destress from the day. We strive to maximize the use of the space, offer good lighting with both natural and artificial, incorporate storage options, when possible, to create a place to escape from the everydayKeepinggrind.”itgrounded to meet everyday essentials remains important, and Bishop says “functionality is key” in any bathroom design.

NuVista Homes nexthome.ca 15

“Buyers need think of how they will use the space. Does my significant other and I get ready at the same time each day? Do I need extra storage or accessibility options? Also, they should consider the overall feel of the space and what they hope to achieve.”

“Some 95 percent of all our front drive garage models already offer dual vanities with soft close drawers, large walk-in closets accessible and have at least one window for natural light so clients are off to a great start. In addition, we offer some of the highest standard specifications allowing our customers options for large 12 x 24-inch tile selections, top grade fixtures and great lighting options to create an ensuite that’s both functional andNuVista’sluxurious.”new Lakeview showhome in the community of Dawson’s Landing in Chestermere is a great example.

NUVISTA HOMES NuVista Homes is all about finding the finer things in life, and their homes all have the exacting design sensibilities that has made them one of the best in the business.

Gleaming tile floors, elegant dark countertops, bright white drawers and cabinets combine to bring an air of exquisite comfort. The stand-alone tub heightens the glam, and the oversized glass shower stall makes the everyday special. “In terms of faucets, touchless fixtures are becoming very popular. Black fixtures and hardware are the rage and taking on a squared look. Greys and whites are still being selected but warm woods are being incorporated into the space as well such as white oak. Floating vanities are desired but the introduction of undermount LED lighting and mood lighting is also coming into play too.”

For example, she says that if you are trying to make the space feel larger and more luxurious, you should limit the tile and color selections in the bathroom. “It gives a sense of a larger and more uniform space. Customers should also be wary of crazy trends as this can date your home significantly later. Rather stick to more neutral classics and incorporate trends that can be changed out with paint colour, fabrics and accessories. This can save you money in the long NuVista’srun.”home designers bring the wow whenever they can, and the bathroom is a frequent specialty, giving it the spa-like feel homeowners deserve.

They also come in two-piece, three-piece or five-piece configurations depending on any combination of sinks, tubs, toilet, and shower pieces. But when it comes to designing each bathroom, there are some disparities. We asked a couple of Calgary’s most recognizable builders to give an insight on how they approach designs for their bathrooms and here is what they say.

Wendee Bishop, Marketing Manager & Creative Director, says NuVista stays on the cutting edge of innovation and design, but they always do so by responding to their clients’ wants and needs.

Homes by Avi

From its long line of multi-family and single-family homes, Homes by Avi’s bathrooms stand out as a work of art. Just check out any of their show homes. According to Rachel Amsterdam, Homes by Avi’s Show Home Decorator, the secret is creating a design that works for the whole home. “We focus on keeping the design of our bathrooms cohesive with the rest of the home,” Amsterdam says. “We take pride in adding a few select details to give each bathroom its unique personality.” She adds that they like to make their ensuites feel relaxing and sophisticated while creating “a little more fun and excitement in the bathroom spaces.”

Find out more about Homes by Avi’s styles and showhomes at homesbyavi.com.

In their popular Douglas showhome in Rangeview in the southeast, Homes by Avi added “fun” lights and mirrors in the main bath. “But we kept the rest of the selections relatively minimal.” By doing this, they can give the main bath – which is often overlooked – a lot of personality but with a simple yet fresh feel.

Amsterdam says they capture this freewheeling spirit in their half baths and main baths by adding details such as unique tiles, wallpaper, plumbing and mirrors. “As or ensuites, we take a more sophisticated and luxurious approach by adding freestanding bathtubs, large full glass showers, niches, and ledges for extra storage andShefunctionality.”saysagood example of what she means can be seen in their Fawn show home in Swift Creek in the“Wesouthwest.installed a freestanding bathtub to create a more luxurious feel. We also added a bank of drawers in the vanity for extra storage. Bathroom storage space is important to our homebuyers, and we feature as much of it as Storagepossible.”isofcourse a key function in bathrooms, but no reason this can’t be stylish. “In many of our homes, we also offer linen shelves when we don’t have the space to do a bank of drawers in the vanity.” Double sinks are also a way to add functionality and convenience with a touch of glamour in the bathroom. After all, who doesn’t love their own sink, she asks. Some of the emerging design trends in bathrooms she has seen are mixing metals like black faucets with gold mirror and lighting. This can be seen in their Fawn showhome in Swift Creek. “Adding upgraded lighting can give you a big bang without breaking the bank; you can add a lot of visual interest with your chosen lighting, along with adding custom mirrors.”

AIRDRIE IS SECOND TO NONE by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ

Airdrie has a lot going for it these days, as it continues to grow out from under the shadow of its big sister city to the south. With an eye firmly fixed on the future and continued growth, Airdrie has become a first option for young families to live in. What started out as a small railroad outpost in the late 19th Century has today become one of southern Alberta’s most populous and progressive cities in the 21st, rivaling even Calgary as a premier destination for new home buyers, as more new communities and housing options areAirdrieintroduced.hasenjoyed all kinds of growth, especially over the last decade, but it has not lost its smalltown heart. “I would tell people that Airdrie is a fantastic community to make your life in,” says Sara Chamberlain, Team Leader, Economic Development, City of Airdrie. “Our growing city has been able to maintain its small-town feel. Neighbours are friends in Airdrie, all your daily shopping and service needs can be met within a 10-minute drive, and you benefit from Airdrie’s great location close to Calgary, the Rocky Mountains and an international airport,” she tells Calgary New Home + Condo Guide. Airdrie is now a major regional commercial and industrial hub, a steadily growing metropolis with its own distinct character and not just another one of Calgary’s bedroom towns. It remains on the fast track to growth – and picking up speed.

Today, Airdrie is a city with a population of 77,027, according to the 2021 Alberta Regional Dashboard, compared to the 48,641 it had just 10 years prior. There are now 27,239 dwellings in the city just north of Calgary, with 1,118 residential permits issued in 2021. Airdrie was first established as a railway village in 1889 during the construction of the Calgary and Edmonton Railway. It is situated on the Queen Elizabeth II Highway (Alberta’s busiest), which connects Calgary and Edmonton. The Calgary International Airport is also just a short distance away, which further cements this reputation as a connectivity hub.

BEST COMMUNITIES There are several new communities in various stages of development that are sprouting in all sectors of Airdrie, a number of them coming in less than a decade ago, and more are opening. Among the newest is Lanark by Melcor Developments. Bayside and Bayview by Genesis Land Development and Cooper’s Crossing by Westmark Holdings are the biggest and the most established of these new communities. While Midtown, the first land development project from Shane Homes, is the newest in Airdrie’s inner-city. The south part of Airdrie is where majority of the new growth is seen. Southpoint by Vesta Properties may just be the hottest right now. Southwinds by Mattamy is also making huge strides. Chinook Gate by Brookfield Residential is going strong, while Ravenswood by Qualico Communities and King’s Heights by Melcor Developments are all but complete.

FUN FOR THE FAMILY Quena Skapin moved to Airdrie not too long ago with her husband, Josh, and their young daughter, Annika, plus their dog, Dexter. “We’ve lived in Airdrie almost three years and I’m still learning all the various cool businesses and resources available,” she tells Calgary New Home + Condo Guide. “In this relatively short time, we’ve grown fond of many local businesses, farmers market and recreation facilities. I’m constantly amazed about the good nature and ‘small town’ feel of Airdrie. People greet you while walking down pathways, have many neighbourhood friends, our daughter has been involved in many recreational opportunities and all of our experiences since moving have beenWhenpositive.”asked what the biggest surprise was about living in Airdrie, Skapin says it may just be the utter convenience the city offers. “Maybe the biggest surprise has been how little we need to go to Calgary for anything other than to visit family, friends and the occasional zoo outing. We have so many services and opportunities right here.” “We believe Airdrie’s advantage is our quality of life,” Chamberlain says. “Year after year residents give their community a very high ranking in our Citizen Satisfaction Survey. We know what they value is our parks, green spaces and walking trails, the availability of services, our low crime rate and friendly neighbourhoods. Airdrie’s location matched with these attributes make our city a community of choice in the region.”

SMALL-TOWN VIBE

Even with its rapid growth, Airdrie has worked to maintain its smalltown heart through their numerous festivals and events, Chamberlain says. “A long-time favourite is the Airdrie Festival of Lights that has been running for the entire month of December for two decades. It’s so fun to stroll through Nose Creek Park and look at the lights. Newer to Airdrie is the Airdrie Children’s Festival, a two-day event in May that is quickly becoming a favourite for visitors andWhenresidents.”asked what she thinks the biggest challenges are facing Airdrie, Chamberlain says: “Honestly, I can’t think of any. I’ve lived and worked in Airdrie for 16 years and it is a great place to raise a family.”

SHOPPING: BIG BOX TO BOUTIQUE

One of Alberta’s biggest shopping malls, CrossIron Mills, is just a short drive from Airdrie, and the city itself has its own retinue of independent and big box stores that offer tons of convenience to residents. “There are so many great places to dine and shop in Airdrie. This is probably one of our best kept secrets!” Chamberlain says. “We have a number of boutique shops where you can find amazing home décor and gifts including Homegrown House & Pantry, Squiggly Pig Marketplace, Copper & Twine and Complete Home Collection,” she“Forsays.dining, we have most of the major national franchises but also fantastic mom-and-pop restaurants with amazing chefs. Many people don’t know we have a French bakery in Airdrie called La Table with pastries that taste like they are straight out of Paris! Airdrie also has a growing brewery scene, and we encourage visitors to follow the Airdrie Ale Trail.”

All espouse the family-friendly traits of Airdrie, with tons of in-community amenities that promote a balanced lifestyle with an abundance of recreational opportunities for all ages and interests.

Cedarglen Homes Marketing & Sales Manager Allison Harvie says there is a greater ability as well to personalize the design of an FDG home. “We understand that every family is different, therefore they might require different components in a home. We make it easy for homebuyers to build their dream home by offering pre-designed modules for common requests such as main floor bedrooms, working kitchens, secondary suites, and more,” she says. PEPPER RODRIGUEZ

GARAGEFRONT-DRIVEHOMES EXCITING NEW DESIGNS DRIVE DEMAND FOR TRENDING | FRONT DRIVE GARAGE HOMES by

What has room for two cars and a multitude of lifestyles? It’s not much of a riddle, as the answer can only be the double-attached front-drive garage home, or FDG home forTheshort.FDG home is as ubiquitous as the suburbs they are generally found in. They are at the apex of the homebuying cycle. It is the home most everyone who has lived in an apartment suite, a duplex, or a townhome, aspire to live in eventually. Especially when they have children, and they see their families grow. FDG homes come in many forms. In Calgary, they are usually two storey homes with three-bedrooms, two-anda-half baths, and a basement development options, and of course, a garage to fit two cars — or more. They are the best fit for multi-generational households, and homebuilders have noticed a new trend of building a main floor bedroom with full bath for elderly parents of the homeowners. FDG homes with private access to basement suites have also become popular to realize the home’s potential for rental income. Best of all is the convenience they offer as they are generally the largest of the traditional home types and have a higher level of finish, says Trico Homes area manager for Belmont, Will Jorgensen. “They held their value better than any other home type during the downturn in 2020 immediately following COVID; there is a certain prestige to owning a front drive home among new homeowners,” he adds. “Many families moving up from apartments or rentals want to skip the intermediate laned/townhome stage and move right to front drive single family.”

PRODUCT SPECIALTY

REGARDING INTEREST RATES

The federal government moved to control rising inflation by raising interest rates a full percentage point on July 13, but both Trico and Cedarglen are confident that the Calgary market is strong enough to meet the challenge.

“It is through this ability to personalize one’s floorplan in conjunction with the exceptional homebuilding experience we offer homebuyers, that we have won Calgary’s Builder of Choice award five years in a row.”

“These captivating third storey lofts offer the perfect space for this while also offering impressive panoramic views of the communities. In addition to third storey lofts, we have also seen a large increase in main floor flex rooms, either used as an additional bedroom or a home office.”

After all, Calgary remains more affordable compared to cities like Vancouver and Toronto. “It will take some time for homebuyers to adjust and gain an updated understanding of what they can afford and then seek the appropriate product type,” Harvie says. “As we all adjust to the increases both in price and interest rates, it is important to remember that Calgary is still an affordable city to live in among large Canadian cities.”

Cedarglen Homes’ third storey loft

“Rising interest rates are reducing purchasing power of all buyers but buying now will allow you to purchase a home and lock in rate holds that will prevent you from losing your affordability,” says Ali Tahir, Trico Homes area manager for Homestead. “Mortgages are long term contracts, and you may be able to lock in a lower rate later on within the mortgage term.”

NEW MODELS

Trico Homes

“As the market slowly starts to balance out, buyers can make more informed decisions without all the pressures of a frenzied market – this is where our experienced Sales Team can help in finding the right home for you. An increase in energy and tech sectors, combined with a low unemployment rate and a consistent net migration to the province keeps Calgary (and Alberta as a whole) a great area to invest in,” Harvie adds.

Double front-attached garage single-family homes make up the largest portion of product offered by Trico Homes. In fact, it’s all they build in the southwest communities of Belmont and Sirocco at Pine Creek. Generally, the sizes range from about 1,800 to 2,700 square-feet. “Our starting price right now in Belmont is in the mid-$600,000s and in Sirocco it’s in the high $600,000s,” Jorgenson says. Trico’s newest model is the Encore, which Tahir thinks will connect with many types of buyers because of its versatility in options. “We have created so many unique options to personalize the floorplan that allow for the Encore to suit most purchasers. Some buyers may choose to add features like having four bedrooms, while others may choose to leave room on the upper floor to create a gorgeous open to above in the great room.”

She says prospective buyers can check out both of these features in their newest showhome in Belmont (the Champion 3ST SSY 24 at 17 Belmont Villas SW), as well as at their new front-drive garage showhomes in Glacier Ridge (the Elbow SSY 24 and Lacombe 3ST SSY 24 at 393 & 397 Edith Road NW). For more information, visit, cedarglenhomes.com.

The Encore is sizable at about 2,300 square-feet, Jorgenson says. Its options also include a spice kitchen, main floor bed, pocket office, and extended kitchen. “The model has been introduced to celebrate Trico’s 30th anniversary, and so far, it has been very well received. People love the flexibility, and with the appealing starting price in the high $600,000s for 2,300 square-feet is very desirable,” he adds. The Encore will be available in most of Trico Homes’ communities, including Belmont and Homestead. For more information, visit tricohomes.com.

Following the pandemic, Harvie says homeowners have realized the value in having designated spaces in their new home for work and for pleasure, which gave rise to the popularity of their three-storey FDG homes.
