WINNING

THE GAME OF HOMES

New Home + Condo Guide The Summer Olympics has taken a lot of our attention for the last little while, especially with Canada’s athletes performing so spectacularly in Tokyo. Edmonton’s new home market has been on a bit of a winning streak of its own, as demand continues to strengthen, and the reopening of many showhomes to the public adding energy to the market.

Rohit Land Development’s Ridgecrest at Glenridding Ravine has been riding the crest of this strong market and is getting close to completion, even as they release new ravine lots that are sure to add excitement among buyers. Find out more in this month’s cover feature.

Homes by Avi is also enjoying a resurgence of its own, and its new Suite Advantage promotion that gives buyers all the opportunity to develop basements and above-the-garage suites adds a new lifestyle perspective to their homes. Read more in the property profile inside.

We also shine a light on front-drive garage homes, or FDG homes for short. It is as ubiquitous as the suburban communities you normally find them in, and we sat down with some of Edmonton’s best builders to find out what new design innovations in this type of home are available today.

We also take a stroll through Leduc and check out the kind of lifestyle one can find in this lively, dynamic city just south of Edmonton. We also talk to our builder and developer friends to find out how they spend their stay-cation, there are some great tips in the story and don’t be surprised if you see me enjoying some of these attractions this summer.

Summers can be quick around here, so let’s make the best of this one. We hope to see you in one of the showhomes one of these days.
