Calgary welcomes the Year of the Tiger with a roar, as the new home industry picks up where it left off with the opening of a bunch of new showhomes and communities. Leading the charge is Excel Homes with four new showhomes just in the Airdrie community of Chinook Gate. Chinook Gate, developed by Brookfield Residential, will actually open eight new showhomes this month – and half of them will be from Excel Homes. The well-respected homebuilder shows off its diversity with one front-drive garage, one laned and two duplex showhomes that underline the family-friendly appeal of this amenity-rich community. Check out our cover feature to see just exactly what Excel offers. We also talk about the challenges facing first-time homebuyers today and how new homebuilders are helping by offering new designs that cater to their lifestyle and budget needs, as well as offering creative financing assistance to help alleviate the down payment burden. We interviewed Carson and Kat, a couple building their first home in Homestead in the northeast, and we just want to wish them good luck in the new life together! The Chinese New Year is also seeing a slew of fresh activity in the new home market. University District is welcoming exciting new retailers, Jayman BUILT is introducing new Net Zero initiatives, and Homes by Avi is continuing their student program with Jack James High School. Check out our Inside Calgary for these stories and more. We also see the return of the Calgary Home + Garden Show with HGTV star Bryan Baeumler headlining the event, it marks the return of the popular home improvement show after it was cancelled by the lockdown last year. We hope to see you there.

Cover Story
ExcEl HomEs offers divErsity in cHinook GatE Diversity rules in Chinook Gate, and Excel Homes may just be the king, as they open four new showhomes that exemplify the varied homeowning opportunities in this growing Airdrie community. The latest Excel Homes showhomes include a brandnew front-drive garage model, a best-selling laned home, and two new duplex models that are being showcased for the first time. “They include floorplans and upgrades we’ve never showcased before,” says Excel Homes Marketing Manager, Kristina Plank. “They offer thoughtfully laid out and spacious floorplans which provides a generous amount of living space for families, and the option to add a developed basement suite or third floor loft.” With starting prices from the $400,000s, Excel Homes in Chinook Gate promises to have something for every lifestyle and budget needs. The Newbrook is a four-bedroom front-drive model that addresses all the wants and needs of a growing family. It is the first showhome of this model that Excel is building. 8
New Home + Condo Guide | Feb. 4–March 4, 2022
The Windsor was Excel Homes’ best-selling laned model last year, as it appeals to many first-time home buyers looking for more space and privacy. While the Willow and Magnolia are three-bedroom duplex models that are making their showhome debut. Plank says bringing such a diverse offering is perfect in a community as amenity-rich and family-friendly as Chinook Gate. “Chinook Gate is a very popular community for us, there is a lot of interest in Airdrie; it is a rapidly growing and developing area. Chinook Gate has a strong sense of community and coming together – we love being apart of that. “ Their new showhomes promise to bring a new energy to the community with exciting designs and trendy finishes that offer a fresh new take on the homeowning lifestyle. The Newbrook is a 2,280-square-foot beauty with four bedrooms standard as well as two-and-a-half baths. It is as elegant as it is functional with an open concept floor plan perfect for families getting together and entertaining.
A spacious main floor layout allows for the perfect area to entertain, featuring a gourmet kitchen opening up into the great room for all to gather. The showhome also has two bedrooms in its developed legal basement suite to give everyone an idea of its full potential. This is perfect for
extended family or even future rental opportunities. With oversized windows, the threebedroom, 1,767 square-foot Windsor welcomes plenty of natural light that make it seem more spacious. The main floor is seamlessly designed for family living, featuring an open-concept kitchen with tasteful selections and
finishings, a generous island made for gathering, and a large pantry. The kitchen easily flows into the dining nook and sunny great room, with extra space in the flex room at the front. Upstairs features a central bonus room providing separation between a master bedroom with walk-in closet and ensuite, and two secondary bedrooms with a full bath and a linen closet. The Magnolia is the bigger of the two new duplex models at 1,394 square-feet. It delivers a thoughtfully laid out main floor, perfect for open concept living, which is inviting and great for entertaining. A large kitchen with plenty of counter space will allow your culinary creativity to run wild. Upstairs, two bedrooms and a luxurious master suite awaits for you to unwind and relax after a long day. While the Willow is a versatile 1,238 square-feet with a roomy great room to relax in, and a stylish kitchen designed for those who love to cook.

basement development that provides the opportunity for more living space, or a legal basement suite. There are a host of options available as well, like side entrances, nine-foot basement ceilings and even a main floor bedroom (depending on the size of the floorplan) that can make any of these new models suit a variety of homeowner wants and needs. Plank says that Excel Homes always strives to offer homes suited to the ever-changing needs of home buyers. “A large portion of our buyers currently in the new home market is made up young growing families looking for more space. This means a main floor flex room, bonus rooms, third floor lofts, developed basements and more!” She says demand for multigenerational living designs is also on the rise, which is why Excel has come up with models that aim to give more privacy to each member of the household. Finally, Excel also has sustainability on top of mind, and homes are BUILT GREEN certified. “Having an energy efficient home has become increasingly more popular with our buyers, especially with the rising cost
of living. High efficiency windows, energy efficient appliances, and more really do help lower those costs each year,” she says. “With families spending more time at home, we have seen a rise in demand for more at home gyms, at home offices and large master retreats. With the pandemic, homes are becoming the place where we live, work and play.” Chinook Gate, developed by Brookfield Residential, provides the perfect environment for these homes, she adds. Located on the west side of Airdrie, it is offers plenty of nearby amenities, and is the closest new Airdrie neighbourhood to the north edge of Calgary. Chinook Gate is a place where people get outdoors and get active, get to know one another, and get bragging rights for living beside the city’s most spectacular outdoor attraction, Chinook Winds Park, a 55acre amenity that offers four seasons of fun for everyone.

ADVICE | CALGARYISM
TOP 3 MISTAKES MADE BY FIRST-TIME HOME BUYERS
CODY BATTERSHILL
If you’re thinking about buying your first home in Calgary in 2022, it’s essential to educate yourself on the steps involved, financial requirements, and common mistakes that can be made. The great news is that many common mistakes made by first-time homebuyers in Calgary are entirely avoidable with a bit of research and due diligence. So, ensure you get the best advice when buying your first property by talking to friends or family with real estate experience and a trusted REALTOR®. Also, by following these tips, you’ll be ahead of the game and know what mistakes to avoid when moving towards homeownership for the first time! #1 – NO MORTGAGE PRE-APPROVAL
I see this time and time again where first-time homebuyers are searching for that perfect property but haven’t received mortgage pre-approval just yet. Then, when they do find a home or condo that fits them well, they find out that they are not approved for the loan amount required to make an offer on the property in the first place. Save yourself time and hassle by getting pre-approved for a mortgage when buying your first home, which will allow you to shop the market with a specific budget in mind. Mortgage pre-approval will also enable you to appropriately account for additional costs associated with
buying real estate such as property taxes and moving costs to name a few examples. #2 – IGNORING OTHER COSTS
As mentioned above, you have to keep in mind that there are other costs associated with buying a home apart from the mortgage. Some of those include: • Property taxes • Home or condo insurance • Condominium fees (if applicable) • Utility costs • Home maintenance, repairs and renovations • Moving costs Additional costs associated with moving and buying a home or condo can range anywhere from $5,000 up to $15,000 or more depending on the type and price of the property bought. Account for these extra costs as a first-time buyer and be well prepared to get your foot into the door of homeownership without any stressful surprises. #3 – NOT GETTING PROFESSIONAL REPRESENTATION
It is in your best interest to find an experienced Realtor® you trust to help you with your overall transaction. This professional will have the knowledge, experience and tools at
hand to help you avoid making other common mistakes made by first-time home buyers not mentioned here. This real estate agent should also act as a guiding hand throughout your transaction while keeping your best interests at heart. When making what could be one of the largest purchases in your lifetime, it’s always critical that you do your due diligence and get all the information and help you can get. Professional Realtors® are typically full-time agents and are a great tool to use to ensure you end up 100 per cent satisfied with your overall purchase. Thanks for taking the time to read my article above. I wish you all the best in your first-time house hunt in 2022! Cody Battershill is the founder of Calgaryism and a top producing Realtor® at RE/MAX House of Real Estate. Born and raised in Calgary, Cody has a passion for helping his clients accomplish their real estate goals and loves to show off the best that Calgary has to offer!

Jayman BUILT goes Net Zero
Jay Westman, Chairman and CEO at Jayman BUILT
Jayman BUILT, one of Alberta’s leading homebuilders, is taking its Net Zero homes to the next level as they add two more energy efficient housing options to the already robust energysaving capabilities of their homes. With two previously announced energy efficient housing options, Jayman now offers four steps on the Path to Net Zero Certification; Jayman’s Core Performance (standard on homes without exception), Solar Energized Hybrid Performance, Net Zero Ready Peak Performance, and the Net Zero Certified home, known as The Quantum Performance Ultra E-Home, which was introduced in 2021. These options offer Alberta home buyers the ultimate in choice,
and alternatives in affordability for their investment in net zero living. “We are proud to continue leading the way in energy-efficient home building in Alberta,” says Jay Westman, Chairman and CEO. “By offering four options on the path to Net Zero certified homes, we are taking positive steps towards a sustainable future. The renewable energy transition is growing at a steady pace in Alberta, and at Jayman, we have already exceeded the 2050 net zero building code targets that the federal government has outlined for Canada.” For more information about these new energy-efficient options, go to jayman.com.
Homes by Avi marks 24th year of student program Homes by Avi celebrated over two decades of partnership with Jack James High School with the opening of the latest home that students from the school’s homebuilding training program helped construct. Avi Amir, Founder and Chairman of Homes by Avi, was on hand for the ribbon cutting ceremonies at the Alexander spec home in the southeast community of Walden. It marks the 24th year of the homebuilding partnership between Homes by Avi and the Jack James HS aimed at introducing students to the skilled trades through a handson approach. “I have participated in this exciting event every year, with the exception of the last two years due to the
pandemic. I would like to thank you for choosing a learning path in which you are interested and talented in.” Amir says. Jack James HS is one of the Calgary Board of Education’s Knowledge and Employability Learning schools. Students work with their teacher alongside Homes by Avi staff to build a new house and develop an understanding of the home building industry and explore career. “It is an invaluable program that seeks to introduce young minds to the trades,” Homes by Avi CEO, Charron Ungar tells Inside Calgary. “We have some graduates of the program work in our company.” For more information, go to homesbyavi.com.

Rowan II by Trico Homes
FACING THE FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYER
CHALLENGE A first step, a first kiss, a first car; there’s a first for everything, and each one is momentous and memorable and should be celebrated. But nothing is more of a milestone than buying your first home. For one thing, the first home is – more than likely – the biggest purchase of your life up to that point. It’s a turning point that can mark one’s growth into full adulthood. But in a tough economy compounded by climbing inflation, those looking to own their first home are faced with some extraordinary challenges. Homebuilders have taken steps to try to ease the burden for what has always been an important segment of the market by trying to keep costs down, offering new designs fitted for the starter lifestyle, and building in communities that offer amenities to support the buyers’ needs. The prospect of owning one’s own home – more to the point, having one built new – is an exciting, fulfilling life event. 14
New Home + Condo Guide | Feb. 4–March 4, 2022
FOR THE FIRST TIMER
Carson Khuu and Katherine Tampis are building their first home together in the budding northeast community of Homestead and they can’t wait to move in. Both are keenly aware of the challenges that buying a new home bring but are still very much looking forward to the adventure of this new life together. They both grew up in the northeast and their families are still in the area, so the location in the Partners Development Group community of Homestead works great for them. “It’s very accessible for our work, as well,” Carson tells Calgary New Home + Condo Guide. He says the biggest challenge for them was finding a home the fits their needs and lifestyle within their budget. They are both young health care professionals with no children yet but wanted a larger home that addresses the future. They found what they were looking for in Trico Homes’ Rowan II laned home.
Carson and Kat
“We had specific criteria such as a home that was large enough but not overtly, and a two-car garage. It was nice that Trico Homes allowed us to personalize our new build so that it truly felt like ours,” he says. “Trico is very transparent with costs and made sure we stayed within our budget. If we bought a pre-owned home and renovated, there could have been additional costs we did not anticipate. What also sold us on a new build was the warranty policies for new homes. As first home buyers, we feel supported with the warranties.” Carson says they were impressed by Trico’s Rowan II show home in Homestead. At around 1,800 square-feet, it had more than adequate space for their needs. “With the open concept floorplan and large windows, it looked and felt spacious.” “The large kitchen, pantry, and island are great features. We appreciate that Trico is mindful of the sink location to maximize counter and island space. We’re huge fans of dual sinks in the master bathroom,” he adds. The ability to personalize the home to fit their needs, like adding an extra linen closet, an accented shower shelf and installing pocket doors, was also key.
Trico Homes laned showhomes in Homestead.
They are also including a detached garage in the build and the prospect of being able to develop the basement down the road is exciting as well. It’s a home that fits their current and future needs. FIRST-HAND ADVICE
The couple checked off many of the to-dos that first-time homebuyers need to understand before plunging into the market. By having a clear idea of what they want in a home and where they want to live, they are already way ahead of the game. Neil Donnelly of Remax iRealty Innovations says he gives his clients a questionnaire that helps them identify their needs. He says identifying the size of the home, the style of the home and the lot characteristics is the first step. “Next, I help clients find the right community based on an interview process that determines their lifestyle. It sounds simple but I have helped clients who love their home but don’t like the community its’ in,” he says. “Next, I help them understand the builders’ specs to identify which are standard items and which are upgrades,” which he says helps them stick to their budget. “When you look at a show home look at the home plan not the upgrades. Make sure you understand the standard items and what’s been upgraded,” the 20-year industry veteran says.

ZEN Abrio townhomes BUYER INCENTIVES
For more than three decades, Trico Homes has helped many homebuyers find their dream first home. A large percentage of their market is made up of first-time homebuyers, so Trico takes extra care in addressing the needs of this segment of the market. Trico Homes’ Director of Marketing, Glenda Schwartz, says they have built over 11,000 single- and multi-family homes in the past 30 years, but they know that caring for their clients should go beyond just that. “Trico understands moving from renting to owning is an amazing milestone to work towards. However, the process can be intimidating, especially for the first-time home buyer,” she says. Trico has tools, including their First-Time Home Buyer Guide, to help first-time homebuyers begin their homeowning journey. “As this is one of the biggest financial decisions they will make, it is important to prepare them every step of the way to ensure it is a positive experience, with minimal surprises.” Trico also offers a FlexDown Payment Program, which allows buyers of specific home models to enter into a purchase agreement with as little as a $1,000. “From then on, monthly payments are made to fulfill the remaining balance of the minimum down payment,” Schwartz says. ENVIRONMENT FIRST
At Avalon Master Builder, the developer of the popular ZEN series of townhomes, first-time homebuyer business takes a full third of sales, says Sales Manager, Mariam Ali. 16
New Home + Condo Guide | Feb. 4–March 4, 2022
They have the designs, and prices that fit the market well, and their focus on environmentally sustainable designs and building practices appeals to even more. There are new ZEN floorplans released for 2022 but a key component of their designs continues to be increasing energy efficiency. Avalon is continuing to apply Net Zero and Net Zero Ready methods in their building designs and construction process, which has proven to be appealing for all their buyers. “As a first-time homebuyer, you can trust that a ZEN home will save you money and the environment as our townhomes are built with environmental sustainability in mind. We also have various floorplans and models ranging from 1-3 bedrooms with prices starting in the $180,000s. This allows our homes to be more affordable,” she adds. “They can expect to find the right fit home as we offer various types of well-thought-out floorplans with fully fence backyards. A backyard perfect for your little fur baby. They can also expect a clean and greener home that is modern and stylish.” In 2022, Avalon is releasing its third townhome development in Seton: ZEN Abrio. It will have 76 unique townhomes including two- and three-bedroom plans as well as two-storey City Homes, which have been a consistent best-seller. “ZEN Abrio will include drive-under units, combining our functional floorplans with the attached garages that many first-time home buyers desire and right-sizers require for comfort and accessibility,” she adds.

TRENDING | EXPLORE EAST VILLAGE
EASTERN EVOLUTION

The promise that the eastern edge of Calgary’s downtown had always held is being fulfilled now, as East Village becomes the cosmopolitan heart and the future of Victoria Park comes at hand. In just over a decade, what used to be a disused and overlooked portion of Calgary’s inner-city has been transformed into a dynamic residential and commercial core that brings new energy to the area. There were only about a thousand residents in East Village when the Calgary Municipal Land Corporation was given the reigns to foster its growth. Now, there are over 4,000 residents in more than 1,500 residential homes – both condos and rentals – and more are coming. “We have two residential projects underway (one in construction that is rental and another that is underway with a development permit) that will offer another 350 new homes to the
community,” says Clare LePan, CMLC vice-president for marketing and communications. The redevelopment of Victoria Park is now also under CMLC’s purview and growth is already budding. “Victoria Park is home to about 2,800 residents and the master plan calls for 8,000 residents as development progresses over the next 20 years,” she tells Calgary New Home + Condo Guide. CMLC is going on 15 years of its 20-year redevelopment plan for East Village that began in 2009, and it has met the vision of creating a desirable, walkable, livable riverside destination. “East Village has transformed into one of the most dynamic inner-city communities in Calgary. There are few neighbourhoods that offer the range of amenities that are now in East Village and neighbouring communities like Victoria Park are poised for the same level of growth,” LePan says.

CMLC has expanded its focus to realizing the vision for east Victoria Park that calls for approximately four million square feet of absorbable mixed-use development in Calgary’s Culture + Entertainment District. While the current uncertainty of the Event Centre plan that includes a new home for the Calgary Flames may be a stumbling block in its progress, but the prospects of vigorous growth remain. The CMLC says that while the Event Centre has long been part of the vision for Calgary’s Culture + Entertainment District (C+E), it is by no means the only significant project in the works. “Even without an immediate answer on the Event Centre’s future, other citybuilding projects worth a collective $600 million are currently underway and are laying the foundation for the C+E’s success,” the CMLC says in a statement.

“The 20-year vision guiding this development has the flexibility to accommodate major projects like the BMO Centre expansion and the Event Centre while also prioritizing the crucial residential, commercial and mixed-use projects that add colour and vibrancy to the district and Calgary’s broader downtown.” Even as progress continues, East Village has already become one of the most desirable places to live in Calgary’s inner-city. Residents in East Village and Victoria Park are a walk from major amenities like RiverWalk and the regional pathway system along the Elbow River, St. Patrick’s Island, the Central Library, new innovation tech spaces like Platform, along with new retail offerings in both communities. East Village had nine new retail businesses open in 2021. “Currently, we have a winter Nordic loop that is open around Fort

Calgary in partnership with Foothills Nordic and Fort Calgary. It is a free, family friendly and safe activity outdoors for x-country skiing and snowshoeing. This is our second year of this program, and it has been a great community program in East Village,” she adds. Both East Village and Victoria Park are highly connected to the regional pathway system that offer over 700 kilometres of pathway throughout Calgary. Residents can jump on the pathway and connect to the downtown core, and communities to
St. Patrick’s Island
the south, west, east and north. “One of the biggest additions to this whole area that benefits residents in East Village, downtown, Victoria Park and beyond is the 5th & THIRD development,” LePan says. “Offering the first urban Supertstore in Canada , a new Winners store along with other retailers provides a very easy and integrated retail destination for daily needs.” East Village and Victoria Park have an eclectic range of interesting local restaurants. Some of Calgary’s historic buildings are home to

favourite restaurants like charbar in the Simmons along the Bow River, Cardinale along 12th Ave (next to the Stampede Casino) and the King Eddy Bar in the historic King Eddy Hotel. Each of these spots give a great local experience and tie into the rich history of these communities. Watching a new East Village rise against the skyline of downtown Calgary’s east end is undeniably exciting. It demonstrates – dramatically – what can happen when collaboration, creativity, determination, passion and plain old hard work prevail.

Bryan Bauemler stars in Calgary Home + garden sHow’s return by PePPer rodriguez Bryan Bauemler
24
New Home + Condo Guide | Feb. 4–March 4, 2022
Bryan Baeumler really needs no introduction. The affable, gregarious host has several home renovations shows on HGTV Canada, but his live stage appearances are something he always looks forward to. His next appearance at the Calgary Home + Garden Show this month serves as a welcome breath of fresh air after the show’s pandemic-induced cancelation last year. “I’m looking forward to coming back to the show to connect with everyone - it’s definitely been a while,” he says. Appearing at the Trail Appliances Home + Garden Stage this year, Bryan will be tackling a host of fan-favourite topics including his own personal experience of opening a resort during the COVID-19 pandemic. His latest TV series, Island of Bryan, saw him and his wife, Sarah, leave their home and business behind and move their family to an undeveloped island in the Bahamas to renovate and restore a run-down beach front resort. And then the pandemic hit. “I’ll be talking about some behind the scenes insights into the show - opening a resort during COVID and everything in between. Plus sharing my tips with homeowners and what they can do to improve their own home,” he tells Calgary New Home + Condo Guide.
A natural-born teacher, Bryan has been educating and entertaining viewers across Canada and the US for about a decade with his string of hit shows that include Bryan Inc., House of Bryan, and Leave it to Bryan. The other topics that are top of mind among his audience is how the pandemic affects home renovation. He says delays brought about by supply chain issues have had the biggest impact. ‘Definitely timelines. We experienced that on the resort ourselves and had to manage with being creative with what we had available. I think folks need to have Plan A, B and C when it comes to renovating and be aware that their top choice might not be available in time - so either they have to wait or choose something else,” he says. As far as popular trends go, Bryan says he is seeing the rise of developing multi-functional spaces. “I think multifunctional spaces were obviously a huge trend during the pandemic. It’s something I think everyone - especially families with school-aged kids - had to adapt to. Creating spaces for temporary (or permanent) offices, or separate spaces to relax. I think people will be a lot more conscious of those considerations moving forward.” He says the pandemic lockdowns of the past two years will likely result in increasing the popularity of home

renovations. “Many people were staying inside a lot more than they anticipated so renovations will likely continue to grow,” he says. But safety needs to be guarded more vigourously. “A big part of renovations is in-person interactions (estimates, install) and being able to see products and such in person has always been important in this industry. I think folks can move parts of the discussion virtually - some designers are able to work virtually by just seeing the space over the computer and sending over rooms specs. Other jobs like contractors (electricians for example) will of course need to be in person. Always follow the guidelines and keep everyone safe by masking indoors and keeping interactions to a minimum.” Those are key advice that the Home + Garden Show is taking to heart, says Kristy Cairns, Group Manager at Marketplace Events, the show’s organizer. “We are continuing to follow all health guidelines set out by the Government of Alberta, The City of Calgary and the BMO Centre. We have extra sanitization stations around the venue, as well as larger aisles to ensure social distancing. Our Trail Appliances Home + Garden Stage is also social distanced seating,” she says. “If people are concerned about coming down to the show, we do encourage them to come during our shoulder hours, where there are less crowds. This is typically after 6 p.m. or in the morning just after the show opens.” The show remains to be the biggest trade attraction for the home improvement industry in the city. Cairns says this year will see more exciting features like Van Life, a few marketplace features like the For Your Home Marketplace, Do Your Part Refillery and Grasslands Flower Co. as well as a fun feature called Thrift Flips with the Calgary ReStore. Besides Bryan, the Renovation Husbands can also be seen at the Trail Appliances Home + Garden Stage. 26

“Our Home + Garden Show is typically the biggest show of the year, and we know lots of homeowners are looking forward to joining to meet with local experts on their home and garden projects. Coming off of a successful January show we are really excited to be back - a bit bigger - than before,” Cairns says.” “We still don’t expect large crowds at the show, but we do expect to see quality consumers who are looking at tackling projects within the next few months.” The Calgary Home + Garden Show is being held February 24-27 at the BMO Centre, Stampede Park.
