More than a decade doing this job and I still love attending all those showhome launches. And this has been an extraordinarily busy spring, with new showhome parades seemingly opening almost every weekend.

I love it though! For me, it’s great to connect with all our homebuilder friends – some of whom we haven’t seen since the pandemic started. These include the team over at Tamani Communites, and the launch of the final phase of their flourishing Cochrane community of Precedence in Riversong on June 18. The event gave us the chance to say hi and see how this view-tiful riverside community has progressed. And, yes, we were there when they broke ground in what seemed was just a couple of years ago.

If you follow us on Instagram and Facebook, you’d see how much the community has grown, and the stunning new showhomes from Jayman BUILT and Trico Homes that just opened. But read our story inside and find out why the community has become the hit that it is.

They aren’t the only homebuilders that have something new to offer. We were also in touch with Morrison Homes to find out what else is new with them. Turns out, a lot! Fresh from their 15th Builder of the Year win at the last BILD Calgary Region Awards, Morrison Homes has 13 new showhomes this year – a few are already open and some are coming soon and we can’t wait to see what they look like.

Trico Homes won’t be left behind with releasing new models as they have the new Bravo laned home model now available wherever they build laned homes.

We also get to talk more about their other laned home models in a feature dedicated to this single-family detached home with rear laned parking. It’s the perfect starter home for many who like its street appeal and grown-up functionality.

Be sure to check out our stories on how developers create curbappeal in their communities, and find out the latest shopping and entertainment possibitlities as we take you on a tour of Inglewood.

There’s more to look forward to as the new home market gets into gear this summer, so follow us on Instagram and Facebook to find out the latest.
