MORRISON HOMES’

WINNING WAYS

by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ

Winning has been a tradition at Morrison Homes, after all the renowned Calgary-based homebuilder has the most Builder of the Year awards with 15. But the real winner has always been their customers.

Founded in 1961, Morrison Homes won its 15th BILD Calgary Region Builder of the Year (large volume) award this year. The BILD CR Grand Builder of the Year Award goes to the city’s top homebuilder determined with input from the industry and customers, and Morrison has won it the most times in the city, including a 10-year consecutive stretch from 2001 to 2010.

“Each time we are recognized as Calgary’s Builder of the Year it is a real honour for everyone in our company,” says Sam Hudson, Director of Marketing at Morrison Homes. “This year however, it was especially significant given the many challenges we’ve overcome as a team and as an industry more broadly throughout the pandemic. It was also so gratifying to finally meet and celebrate in-person with our peers following years of pandemic gathering restrictions.”

But it has never been just about the awards and recognition at Morrison Homes. It’s still all about improving the lives of their clients through efficient, innovative home designs.

“If winning any BILD Award indicates a commitment to excellence and quality, winning Builder of the Year surely tells us

that we are taking this commitment to a higher level both in terms of the quality of our homes we craft and, perhaps more importantly, the quality of the building experience we provide our customers. This should give homebuyers the reassurance that they are working with a builder they can trust,” Hudson reiterates.

Morrison Homes has also never been one to rest on its laurels. “This year we have launched or are launching 13 brand-new showhomes in multiple housing types across Calgary and the surrounding area. This includes our duplex and laned home positions in the brand-new Anthem community of Glacier Ridge, which, due to lack of new home options in the northwest, has already captured a lot of buyer interest.,” Hudson says.

Besides Glacier Ridge, Morrison Homes is also actively building in the other new northwest communities of Rockland Park, and Livingston. They also have offerings in Cornerstone in the northeast; Legacy and Wolf Willow in the southeast; as well as in Belmont, Pine Creek, Sirocco at Pine Creek in the southwest. Morrison also has offerings in the surrounding towns of Okotoks (D’ARCY and Wedderburn); and Chestermere (Dawson’s Landing).

Morrison just opened another estate show home, The Ellsworth, in Livingston. It’s stately bearing with the open-to-above great room on the main floor, the glass panelling along the staircase and the luxurious, spalike design of its ensuite makes this 2,684-square-foot estate showhome with three-car garage a prime contender for awards next year.

Morrison Homes has more show homes under construction in Glacier Ridge, Wolf Willow, Dawson’s Landing and more coming in Livingston later in 2022. Morrison Homes also builds in and around Edmonton.

“It might sound cliché, but our success ultimately comes from our customers,” Hudson says. “At Morrison, we are obsessed with our buyers’ building experience and after possession care. This dedication, combined with constant feedback from our customers on product development and improvements, drives our team to create the housing product, building processes and innovations we know our customers are asking for.”
