Welcome to our most jam-packed issue of the year yet! From the return of the Edmonton Home + Garden Home show to the finalists in this year’s CHBA-Edmonton Region’s Awards of Excellence, to everything going on in the city’s infill development and green home construction, spring is really in gear now! And we have everything that keeps you in the know in the local new home industry.

First off, we have the latest updates on the dynamic development of Village at Griesbach in our cover feature, the former military base has become a leading example of the redevelopment of communities closer to Edmonton’s core. There are plenty of housing options to fit every lifestyle and budget here, including the new homes with over-the-garage garden suites. Read on to find out more.

Village at Griesbach is also part of our larger look at the infill developments around Edmonton. The massive development of Blatchford is also part of that discussion, as we also get insights from the Infill Development in Edmonton Association (IDEA), which is advocating for the city’s infill developers.

The Edmonton Home + Garden Show is back after nearly two years of pandemic-induced cancellations, and it promises a return of all the excitement and DIY know-how that has made this trade show a must-go event all these years.

We also have inside a partial list of the finalists in this year’s CHBAEdmonton Region’s Awards of Excellence, see if your favourite builder or developer made it. And stay tuned next month when we tell you who the winners are.

Edmonton is beginning to shake off last month’s bitter cold, and the new home industry is preparing for what promises to be a whirlwind spring selling season. Pick up a copy or follow us on Instagram and Facebook to get the latest news that can affect your homebuying decisions.
