+ get social 6

Things continue to heat up in the Edmonton new home market this summer. And they are bound to get hotter. New showhomes and new communities are sprouting up just in time as we emerge from the lockdown and things get back to normal. One sure sign of things going back to normal is the recent 2021 CHBA Edmonton Region Awards of Excellence in Housing, and one of the winners this year is Coventry Homes. Their Dione won the award for Best Single-Family $350,000$400,000 and we talk about this spectacular showhome in Keswick Landing in our cover story. Cantiro is also one of the big winners, taking home the coveted Multi-Family Builder of the Year award, even as they launch their new Life Collection of homes. This introduces to Edmonton and area a series of 21 new single-family home models designed from the ground up, targeting three distinct design needs for families. Get a peek at the list we compiled of the 2021 CHBA-ER Awards of Excellence in Housing inside to see if your favourite builder or developer are among the winners. We’re also introducing a likely future award-winner with the new community of Kin at Schonsee by JL Developments. It expertly delivers life astride the natural beauty of the Schonsee wetlands and the amenity-rich lifestyle of the established community around it. We also have some expert advice from some of our homebuilder friends on what the difference is between building a new home and buying a spec home. And then, we take a trip down Beaumont and explore the family-friendly charms of this French-Canadian colonial town. It promises to be an energetic return to normalcy this summer, and we can’t wait for the day to see you at the nearest showhome again Follow us on Instagram and Facebook and pick up the magazine every month for more.

COVER STORY

COVENTRY HOMES CREATES A SHOW HOME EXPERIENCE WITH DIONE by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ Whether virtually or in person, everyone has to see Coventry Homes’ new show home, Dione, in the southwest community of Keswick Landing. It is truly a show home that needs to be experienced. For over 40 years, Coventry Homes has created some of the most memorable home designs in the city, but Dione takes the cake, or – more appropriately - the rink, as you will see. The 2,103-square-foot Dione show home, finished in the Pinnacle specification, combines stylish, high-quality interior design with functional, practical floor plans. But it comes with a twist that only Coventry Homes - and its long-standing partnership with the Edmonton Oilers organization - is capable of accomplishing. Each year since the beginning

New Home + Condo Guide | June 25–Aug. 6, 2021

of its partnership with the Oilers, Coventry Homes has paid homage to the hometown hockey heroes with developed basements meant to impress its legion of die-hard fans. And this year’s Oilers Kid Cave basement has done more than that. “This is our sixth Oilers-themed basement, so we wanted to do something a little different,” says Coventry Homes marketing and design manager, Tara Van Horn. “We came up with the idea to do something fun for the kids. We knew we wanted to build a playstructure but the hard part was to keep it hockey-centric. That’s when the idea of the Zamboni came to be.” The Zamboni bunk bed with built-in slide in – of course – Oilers colours has been a massive hit. “Young, or young-at-heart,

everyone loves the Zamboni! It turned out to be a true familyfriendly space with room for everyone to enjoy time together, whether they are watching the game or hanging out in the play area,” Van Horn says. Feedback for the Dione has been amazing, she says. “It has been an instant hit, and a fast favourite to those who have visited.” The show home’s open concept main floor also impresses, especially with the fantastic fireplace detail that brings a contemporary flair to the design. The wide plank oak hardwood flooring in the great room and kitchen bring a blissful warmth to the proceedings. Nine-foot ceilings and tall windows accentuate the loveliness of the interiors. The kitchen with its massive central island with waterfall design commands attention for its stylishness and functionality. Its one-and-a-quarter-inch quartz countertop adds to the lustre and blends well with the trendy black

stainless-steel appliances. But beyond the wow, the show home also brilliantly lays out Dione’s full potential as a practical, stylish and utterly comfortable family home. The three-bedroom, threeand-a-half bath home with a bonus room at the top of the stairs on the second floor has all the prerequisites needed to answer the needs of today’s families. Coventry also provides several options that enable buyers to personalize their home to fit their lifestyle. “We believe that your lifestyle should determine what your home looks like, not the other way around,” Van Horn says. “That’s why all of our home designs are flexible, allowing you to customize your floorplan, finishes and fixtures to suit you.” The community of Keswick Landing also serves to further attract buyers. “Keswick Landing holds true to its ‘big spaces, small prices’ tagline. It is a good fit for new home buyers looking for the

comfort and space of a new home community, at affordable prices,” Van Horn says. Close to the river valley, shops, walking paths and more, Keswick Landing has “everything you’re looking for in a new community,” she adds. Backing this all up is Coventry Homes’ expertise and reliability. “We’re passionate about designing floor plans that are flexible and work for real people and their lifestyles,” Van Horn says. “We also believe that high grade finishes and fixtures shouldn’t be upgrades. Our commitment to quality has earned us a strong reputation that has been recognized across the home building community.” Visit Dione at 4408 Kinsella Green SW, or visit Coventry-homes.com for a virtual tour and to learn more.

PROPERTY PROFILE

CANTIRO INTRODUCING: CANTIRO’S LIFE COLLECTION by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ If last year’s lockdowns taught us anything, it’s that it is better to be stuck in a home that we love and supports how we move through our daily lives. Cantiro Homes is responding to this demand with the launch of its Life Collection homes that answers specific lifestyle needs of homebuyers. The Life Collection launched on June 17 introduces to Edmonton and area a series of 21 new single-family home models. Every home in the series was designed from the ground up, targeting three different segments of families in mind, says Cantiro General Manager of Marketing and Innovations, Heather Jeffares. She says the models in the Life Collection are divided into three segments, each answering a particular need in the market. These are the Family

New Home + Condo Guide | June 25–Aug. 6, 2021

Series, the Career Series, and the Entertain Series. “The functionality of every square inch of the home has been rethought and designed to support how each family lives to make their lives amazing,” she tells Edmonton New Home + Condo Guide. The Family Series is designed around simplifying family life and allowing members more time to spend with loved ones; the Career Series are for the families that are looking to strike the right balance between work life and home life; while the Entertain Series functions for those that love to host and create memorable experiences for their guests. Jeffares explains that each series adheres to a list of special features that enhance the values of each family segment. “For example, the Career

Series focuses on work life balance. Extra attention is given to allow for flexible spaces that can be used as work stations or home offices, and the ensuite is decked out to include a free-standing soaker tub, oversized tiled shower, dual sinks and a built-in vanity to reward yourself after a long day. Nuances are also included within the models of each series to further address specific needs in each family segment.” Cantiro has even found a way for buyers to find out which Life Collection home fits their need through an online quiz. “We created an online quiz to help guide customers to find the home that best suits their values and how they live. Through the quiz they can figure out which series best matches their needs and which models best supports their unique lifestyle,” Jeffares says. The first to be introduced in the Life Collection is their two new single family show homes in the Hills at Charlesworth community in southeast Edmonton. The Family Generations and Entertain Elevate models from the Life Collection are now open, with two more opening later this summer: Entertain Park View and Career Park View. All four are envisioned to give buyers a taste of what the Life Collection can offer. “Park View homes is also part of the Life Collection, but includes unique features including three- levels of finished living space, floor-to-ceiling windows on all levels, an expansive outdoor lounge, and faces greenspace in the Hills at Charlesworth,” Jeffares says. Cantiro’s online followers already got a taste of this during the June 17 online event to launch the collection. “The live forum allowed our viewers to ask question as the tour is happening. For anyone who missed out, we will be creating a series of videos that tell the story of Life Collection and highlight what makes it unique from several different perspectives,” she adds. Visit Cantiro.ca for updates or click the QR link here. Every home in the Life Collection are single-family models with attached garage. There will be 21 in total. The Park View homes range from 1,752 to 1,981 square-feet. The rest of the Life Collection homes will be in the 1,533 to 2,458-square-foot range. The launch of the Life Collection comes almost a year after the homebuilder’s various divisions were gathered under the unified Cantiro banner as they continue to forge new paths for innovative, cutting-edge home designs. “The Life Collection has been in the works for over a year and includes experiences, expertise and perspectives from a dedicated team of architects, designers, construction experts, procurement managers, and sales and marketing,” Jeffares says.

Dansereau Meadows by Anthem United

BEAUMONT: FRENCH CULTURE, PRAIRIE STYLE With its history as a French-Canadian colonial town, it’s easy to imagine being in the French countryside driving down to Beaumont. But don’t let its idyllic nature fool you, as this picturesque small town just west of Edmonton continues to grow as a favourite for new families to settle in. Beaumont, which was designated a city in January 2019, is the fifth fastest growing city in Canada with annualized five-year growth rate at 4.1 per cent. Located in Leduc County within the Edmonton Metropolitan Region, it sits at the vital intersection of Highway 625 and Highway 814 and is just a kilometre outside of the southern boundary of Edmonton. It is close to a multitude of employment hubs like the Edmonton International Airport, which is just nine kilometres east, as well as the Nisku Industrial Park, one of the largest business parks in western Canada.

FRANCOPHONE HERITAGE

The city was founded in 1895 by French-Canadian colonists attracted by the region’s rich farmland. Beaumont’s downtown core still resembles a French village with unique architecture and red brick walkways. Its name is derived from the “beautiful hill” on which the historic landmark of St. Vital Church is located within the centre of the city. Beaumont remains determined to maintaining and reviving its Francophone heritage with its efforts to preserve a few buildings from its founding. It has also implemented design guidelines to emphasize its Francophone heritage, including abundant French place names and buildings constructed with steep gable roofs, considered to be in the French style. Beaumont is also one of the only officially bilingual municipalities in Alberta. nexthome.ca 23

Ruisseau by Qualico Communities

BEAUMONT TODAY

Today, new residents have fallen in love with the city because its outdoor lifestyle is as alluring as the scenery. According to the city website, the town has over 250 acres of parklands, a dozen baseball diamonds, over a dozen soccer fields, outdoor rinks, inline rinks volleyball courts outdoor basketball courts and winding paths between most of them, finding these active areas is as much fun as playing in them. And with over 100 unique service and volunteer community organizations, clubs and groups, Beaumont’s bustling with activity. The Aqua-Fit recreational facility is a major – and indeed, vital – facility for Beaumont families. “Beaumont allows you to enjoy the relaxed pace of country living, letting your kids walk to school and getting to know your neighbours, without giving up the conveniences of the city,” says Samantha Hust, marketing coordinator at Anthem United, which develops the community of Dansereau Meadows in northwest Beaumont. NEW COMMUNITIES

“Dansereau Meadows not only has an excellent location, but it also has everything your family 24 New Home + Condo Guide | June 25–Aug. 6, 2021

needs. There is a K-9 school steps from your door, 1.7-kilometres of walking trails with stormwater ponds to view and many playgrounds nearby. You are also two minutes from the Beaumont Aqua-Fit Centre which has both a playground and fitness centre,” she adds. Dansereau Meadows offers four distinct product types with affordable pricing for first time home buyers to move up buyers. “For first time home buyers, Montorio Homes offers townhomes from

the $300s and Caliber Master Builder and Park Royal Homes offer laned homes from the high $300s,” Hust says. “For those looking for a bit more space Park Royal Homes, Montorio Homes and Urban Luxury Homes offer front garage homes from the $400s. Urban Luxury Homes and Park Royal Homes also offer bungalows with lots overlooking greenspace starting at the $500s,” she adds. Qualico Communities Edmonton also has a flourishing development in Beaumont called Ruisseau. It is the French word for “stream” and Qualico Communities marketing coordinator, Emily Stamper, says it is quite appropriate for their community. “The LeBlanc Canal runs along the east side of the community. A storm pond, playground and multi-use trails are a few of the great features of the community,” she says. “Ruisseau is near the Four Seasons Park which features a spray park, baseball diamonds, picnic sites, sports fields and trout fishing in Don Sparrow Lake. The Beaumont Sport and Recreation Centre is also within walking distance, perfect for those with an active lifestyle.” “New lots are coming to Ruisseau this year, providing a great opportunity to build your dream home in Beaumont,” Stamper adds. Townhomes, Single Family Front Attached and Rear Lane Homes are from UrbanAge Homes and Look Master Builder. “Rear laned homes are a new offering in the community,” Stamper says.

Chartier

“Families will also be excited to hear that a new school is coming to Ruisseau. While the school is still currently in the design phase and a completion date is still to be determined, it will be a K-12 Francophone school.” MODERN LIFE

Stamper says people love Beaumont for the smalltown feel. “But you’ll be happy to know that you don’t have to sacrifice convenience in order to live that lifestyle.” There are a number of stores nearby, including the Montalet Shopping Centre. If you’re looking for something more unique, the Southwest Edmonton area is just 10 minutes away. One of its best-known restaurants in town is Chartier, a Quebec French style restaurant in the centre of downtown Beaumont. Check out its very own Beaumont Smoked Meat Sandwich with its smoked and slow-cooked brisket on a soft white roll (gluten-free options available) with house-made pickled cucumbers. The patio is open now, and with easing health restrictions will allow diners to enjoy its warm hospitality once again soon. Beaumont is also home to the Beaumont Blues & Roots Festival (BBRF), one of only a few allCanadian blues festivals in Canada. BBRF 2021 will be held September 3 and 4 at Four Seasons Park in Beaumont. This two-day event will feature all those festival staples that you have been missing … beer gardens, food trucks, vendor village and of course… LIVE MUSIC! nexthome.ca 25

Hopewell Residential

SPEC HOME OR BUILD NEW?

WHAT EXPERTS SAY by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ

To paraphrase the movie “Field of Dream”: “Build it and they will come.” That seems to be the entire idea behind spec homes. A spec home is industry speak for a home that is built before a homebuyer makes a purchase. It is constructed using builder specifications (hence, “spec”) and most are move-in ready or at least available for a quick possession. Homebuilders offer spec homes because not every homebuyer has five to eight months to wait for their new home to be built. This also allows builders to keep their tradespersons busy. 28

New Home + Condo Guide | June 25–Aug. 6, 2021

So, what’s the difference between building a new home for yourself or buying a spec home? We’re glad you asked. We spoke to a couple of homebuilders to give us some tips and insights on the difference between the two. EXCELLENT TIMING

As in all of life, timing is a major part in the home-buying decision. Depending on a buyers’ circumstances, a spec home where they can move in relatively quickly might be better. Or if they have the time and customizing or personalizing the living space is important to

them, then going the pre-sale route may be more applicable. “It all comes down to what the client’s needs are,” says Robin Nasserdeen, Director of Sales at Coventry Homes. “The one thing is that whether building a pre-sale home, or buying a spec home, you are still getting a new home that no one has lived in before. You get the full value of a new home.” The common misconception, he says, is that spec homes are of less quality. “That’s not true at all, at least the way Coventry Homes makes it,” he says. “One’s not better than the other, it simply depends on what the client needs

at the time. Either way, both are new homes that have more value than, say, a resale home.” FINISHED PRODUCT

A spec home – depending on the stage of construction you purchase it – has all the preconceived designs and options included already. Nasserdeen says Coventry Homes has the flexibility to offer a few changes to the buyers, depending whether the home being constructed is already in the framing stage, or drywall stage, or if the foundation had just been dug. “We make the decisions on which finishings to include in our spec homes based on realtime customer feedback that we get as one of Edmonton’s premier homebuilders.” For a pre-sale home, the buyer does indeed get the freedom to select all the finishings they want for their home. “While for a spec home, we make those decisions ahead of time,” Nasserdeen says.

home from scratch you can tailor colours and upgrade your floorplan to suit your needs. Plus, you get to pick the perfect lot for your lifestyle. Lot options can come down to lowest price, south-facing backyards for more sunlight, or corner lots with additional windows. When it comes to price, a new build offers the flexibility to plan and save for a larger down payment or to help with moving costs.”

CHOOSING WELL

EXPERT ADVICE

Hopewell Residential Edmonton has a wide range of spec homes available in the three communities where they build in Edmonton. Townhomes, duplex homes, duplex and front-attached garage homes are available in Maple Crest, Citadel and Secord. According to Kevin Wong, Hopewell Residential’s Area Manager in Secord, there are three main points when comparing pre-sale and spec homes: timeline, features and price. “Spec homes are convenient for new homeowners who want to move in quick. Plus, there is the added bonus of seeing your new home as a finished product,” he says. “New builds offer flexibility in option selections, lot, and design. When you build your

Kathleen Wong, Hopewell Residential’s Area Manager in Citadel, adds that it is also important to work with an experienced mortgage specialist in any case. “Whether you’re building a new home or buying a spec home, we always recommend working with an experienced mortgage specialist,” she says. “It’s important to know that the mortgage rate may be different between spec homes and new builds. With spec homes you can typically take advantage of mortgage rate specials and lock in a specific 1-3 month rate hold. When you work with one of our trusted and experienced mortgage specialists you can ensure you’re getting the best rate even on a newly built home.”

Coventry Homes

“Hopewell continues to build a number of comfortable, affordable and made to live spec homes in our most popular floorplans and with designer selections and finishes. We build several of our most popular models as spec homes in each of our communities every year.” said Kathleen Wong, Citadel Area Manager at Hopewell Residential. LOCATION’S ROLE

Coventry Homes builds in some of the best communities in Edmonton and this plays a crucial role in their business. They build spec homes in all of them, and Nasserdeen says that for 80 per cent of the time, the spec home is sold before completion. Key to that success is the communities they build in. “Buyers looking for their home first check out the area, then the specific community and then the home,” he tells Edmonton New Home + Condo Guide, and it helps when the communities they are building in are already some of the best in the city.

pink in the

Written by C. MARIE HEBSON

BEAUTIFUL, CONFIDENT, SEXY - PINK! This colour excites and inspires me. Don’t be shy, be bold in your colour choices. There’s only one design rule to follow - make a commitment to your colour and thoughtfully repeat it. You can soften your pink to Benjamin Moore’s First Light 2102-70 or crank it up to pure Magenta! May your entire year be ﬁlled with glorious, gorgeous colour! Area rug… Superimposed black and white photograph over a tone-ontone medallion. Great way to inject colour into your space even if you have wall to wall carpet.

Accent Chairs… Afraid to commit big? Go with a couple of accent chairs, makes a statement without the commitment.

Wallpaper-Murals… I’ve used wall murals for a few years now, and they never cease to amaze. Here a scan of pink onyx, then duplicated into a Rorschach pattern. Tres chic, nes pas?

New Home + Condo Guide | June 25–Aug. 6, 2021

The loft… It would take a conﬁdent man to live in this space, but if he loves his woman, he’ll let her have her pink! Saturating your tone of pink takes it from pretty and feminine to rock hard and conﬁdent. Paired with raw grey wood and black this couldn’t be more perfect.

PROPERTY PROFILE

KIN AT SCHONSEE: NATURE AT ITS BACKYARD

Reconnecting with nature has been an ardent lifestyle wish for many new homebuyers, and the new community of Kin at Schonsee turns this dream into a reality with its enviable location in the established north Edmonton community of Schonsee. Kin at Schonsee presents big city living with the wondrous majesty of nature right in your backyard – blending both worlds in a wholesome residential community the whole family will love. Kin at Schonsee, developed by JL Developments, brings 85 single-family home lots to a prized location within 34

New Home + Condo Guide | June 25–Aug. 6, 2021

the established and vibrant neighbourhood of Schonsee. “Our community represents the first single family lots that directly back onto the existing 36-acre Schonsee Wetlands,” says JL Developments’ Jesse LaFrance. “Even one of our cul-de-sacs have been designed to include an expansive fully landscaped island in the centre to help bring nature to our resident’s doorsteps.” The 12-acre Kin at Schonsee community focuses on a “kinship” with nature and over 40 per cent of its lots have views of the weltands and parks, he adds. Though it may seem a world away from the city bustle,

Kin at Schonsee has all the amenities needed to enjoy a modern lifestyle. It is close to shopping with the Manning Town Centre so close by, quick LRT access through Clareview Station, and some of Edmonton’s best restaurants are all just minutes from your door. With all of these going for it, it is no wonder that sales have soared. “Sales activity has been incredible, and we are thrilled at the feedback the market has provided us over the past several months,” LaFrance says. “Similar to other quadrants of our city, North Edmonton is in a housing shortage, and we are thrilled to play a small role

in providing needed housing to the community at large.” Kin at Schonsee’s builder group is comprised of Royal Luxury Homes and Collections by Amrik. “They exude operational excellence that will provide our residents with exceptional customer service and value,” LaFrance says.

The homes will take advantage of the beautiful views that surround Kin at Schonsee and blend in with the natural surroundings. LaFrance points out that they will be more than just stunning - the homes will also be designed to have more efficient square-footage and space. “We have received numerous calls from existing residents of Schonsee who are thrilled that the lands are being redeveloped and many have expressed interest in relocating to our new community,” he says. “Our buyers are predominantly young and growing families who already live in North Edmonton and they are looking for their forever home.” Kin at Schonsee will be the perfect place for that, he points out, with prices starting from the $500,000s. “Our homeowners who can enjoy sunsets and watch the pelicans float on the shimmering water from the privacy of their backyards.”

Schonsee is located within the Lake District in north Edmonton, and its name is derived from the German word “schon” meaning “beautiful” and “see” for “lake”. It is a pleasant reminder of Edmonton’s strong ethnic diversity as well as its close connection to nature. LaFrance says JL Developments purchased the land in May 2021 from the City of Edmonton. The land had sat idly for years while the rest of Schonsee was being developed. “Kin at Schonsee is the benfeciary of being surrounded by an established and vibrant community that is unique to new subdivisions,” he adds. Buyers will enjoy all that it has to offer as soon as they move in. Construction of Kin at Schonsee will be complete late Summer 2021, LaFrance says. “We anticipate welcoming our first residents to the community in winter 2022 as builders start construction this upcoming fall.” nexthome.ca 35
