I’ve worked this job charting Calgary’s new home growth for close to 20 years, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen it this hot. I’ve been to so many community launches and showhome openings over the past couple of months that my car’s mileage has climbed up to needs-to-be-replaced levels. It’s not going to let up soon, either.
Calgary’s population has ballooned past 1.6 million and can only increase as immigration numbers to the province continue to rise. The need for new housing is imperative and we are a helpful guide to newcomers to the city on the best places to find a new home.
A good place to start is with Trico Homes as it gears up for the busy fall season with a bunch of new showhomes in more new communities and buyer incentives to sweeten the deal. We talked to Trico Homes President Michael Brown to see what more buyers can expect from the award-winning homebuilder in the coming months. Check out our cover story for more.
They aren’t the only builder with much to talk about as we get into it with Morrison Homes, Qualico Communities and Vesta Properties to talk about all they have coming up. They have been very busy this year and the fall season gives them plenty to be happy about.
We also have features on homebuilder design centres and why they offer the best convenience to homebuyers, we talk about bungalow villas, especially the new ones from Jayman BUILT and Crystal Creek Homes, and we examine all that Okotoks offers. See them all this inside!
It’s exciting to see where all this growth will bring Calgary in the next few years, and you can trust that we’ll be there to help guide readers in finding the best opportunities to live their preferred lifestyle.
See you at the showhomes.

PURPOSEFUL INNOVATION RULES AT
TRICO HOMES
Innovation is essential in any industry, especially so in home building. But at Trico Homes purposeful innovation is what is at its heart.
The Calgary-based homebuilder has always been at the forefront of introducing new home designs, and this fall they are bringing in more new ways to improve the way we live through efficient home design.
The key has always been to focus on the livability of design. Trico Homes’ President, Michael Brown, says that changing designs just for the sake of change is pointless. “For us, the home has to be livable,” he tells Calgary New Home + Condo Guide. “We strive to build homes that can give the
owners not only peace of mind but a home they can be proud of.”
Today, with showhomes in 31 communities in the Calgary region, their mindful approach makes their showhomes stand out in any parade. And this is plain to see in their latest offerings, including the front-garage showhomes –
The Braxton and Concord – in Heartwood in the southeast, and the Kingsley and Oakridge in the recently-launched community of Huxley in the northeast.
CONCENTRATING ON THE ESSENTIALS
The way Trico approaches homebuilding is by concentrating on the essentials, on the details that make a home work. And that
is mainly though larger windows; wider staircases; upgraded kitchens that all come standard; and, of course, superior materials and construction afforded by their more than 30 years of experience as a homebuilder in Calgary.
“The windows in all our rooms are never afterthoughts, and are the largest offered in the industry,” Brown says. “We use a different frame for our windows and higher-grade structural frame support, as well,” adds Laura Love, Estimating Manager for SingleFamily Homes at Trico. “This allows homes to feel even more spacious with tons of natural light coming into the home.”
The wider staircases allow for easier movement within the
home, a major convenience for growing families.
The kitchen is the heart of the home, and this is where Trico’s design efforts always shine. “The kitchen is where the home comes alive and we concentrate on elevated appliances and features that make our kitchens stand out,” Brown says.
For kitchen cabinets, buyers can select from textured melamine, MDF, maple, or oak – with 42-inch upper cabinets. Also included are crown moulding, light valance, and LED under-cabinet lighting. “Storage space is important, and we provide plenty of that in the kitchen, but they also look incredible,” Love says.
“With superior materials, meticulous craftsmanship, and our Elite Specifications, Trico delivers some of the best quality homes in Calgary – homes designed to last and to improve everyday living,” she adds.
Brown says these features carry through Trico’s entire product line of townhomes, duplex, laned and front-garage homes.
FLEXIBILITY IS KEY
These essentials form the building blocks on which Trico frames their designs, where once again the key ingredient is livability. Trico does keep on top of popular design trends, and today, there is a huge demand for homes designed for multi-generational families, and homes that are flexible enough for homeowners to make use of their full potential.
The main floor bedroom with full bath is a recent innovation in design that fits the needs of families that want to accomodate their aging parents, Brown says. The private, side entrance is also popular these days that gives owners the ability to rent out a developed basement suite.
“Many of our single-family models – and even some duplex
– can come with a main floor bedroom - many as a standard already,” Love says. “We also have community-specific models that even have spice kitchens as a standard.”
“Our homes also retain a higher resale value because of the flexibility of the plans,” Brown says. Their designs have not only won hearts and minds of buyers, but acclaim from the industry as well.
The Encore, one of Trico’s most popular front-garage homes, just won Best Single-Family Home 2,000-2,200 square-feet category at the 2025 BILD Alberta Awards. “This has been a consistent bestseller since it was introduced as one of our 30th anniversary models,” Brown says.
FUTURE FORWARD
Trico is also aiming to lead in the field of home automation, and their homes can come equipped with solar panels, electric car charger rough-ins, electrical fireplace, doorbell camera, LED
recessed pot lights in the kitchen and smart home control panels.
“If the buyer isn’t quite prepared to have those systems installed when they move in, we provide the rough-in wiring already so that they have the ability to do so easily in the future,” Brown says. “That’s the kind of flexibility we offer.”
THE IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNITY
No matter how well designed the home is. They can only be as good as the communities they are located in. Brown says Trico is mindful in choosing communities where they build.
“We do have a say in what communities we build in, and it is essential that these communities also reflect the values that Trico itself holds – family-friendly amenities, shared areas where the bonds of community are built, that brings neighbours together. We design our homes to be part of these communities.”
They are bringing these values themselves to the brand-new community of Wentworth in the southwest, where Trico is both a developer and a builder. Launched last fall, Wentworth is set on 33 rolling acres at the intersection of 85th Street and 12th Avenue SW. This community will feature a variety of home options, including Executive-Style Bungalow Villas, Semi-Estate, and Estate Homes, all with double- and triple-car garage options.
Trico Homes builds in communities in all of Calgary’s four quadrants, plus Airdrie, Cochrane, Chestermere, Okotoks, DeWinton, Okotoks and Harmony.
CULTIVATING A WINNING CORPORATE CULTURE
Trico’s strong corporate vision is what holds the entire enterprise together. A healthy bond with the community and high-quality craftsmanship that exceed clients’ expectations has made Trico one of Canada’s best, but its backbone has always been the strong corporate culture it has nurtured.
Since its founding in 1992, Trico Homes has established a name as one of Calgary’s most reputable
homebuilders, and one of the city’s brightest success stories if ever there was one.
It prides itself as a family-run, entrepreneur-driven operation that has won several awards recognizing its achievements. They’re a Platinum Club member of Canada’s 50 Best Managed Companies from 2004 to 2025, named 13 times as Canada’s Best Workplaces, and eight times Great Places to Work Certified, and many more.
Trico Homes is also western Canada’s first homebuilder to become a certified B Corp. This international designation is earned by those who are redefining the ways success is measured in business. “We’re committed to our industry and our city. And we are conscious about creating a lasting legacy as a company that helps make the world a better place,” Brown says.

MORRISON HOMES
INTRODUCES NEW OPPORTUNITIES TO OWN A HOME THIS FALL
The leaves aren’t the only thing falling this season. Morrison Homes is noticing interest rates taking a downward turn, as the Bank of Canada cuts key lending rate by 25 basis points to 2.5 percent. This opens up more new opportunities for new homebuyers and Morrison Homes makes owning the dream home even more of a possibility.
“There’s no doubt about it – this is one of the best times we’ve seen to buy a new home in Calgary,” says Morrison Homes Marketing Manager, Max Conrad.
“We’re in a unique position where pricing is favorable, and with the new GST rebate program, you could save up to a large amount on your home purchase. Combined with decreasing interest rates, it’s a perfect storm of opportunity for anyone looking to
get into a new home or upgrade to a larger one,” he says. These factors create an incredible financial advantage, making a new home more accessible and affordable than it has been in years.
KEEPING UP WITH DEMAND
Adaptability has been a hallmark in Morrison Homes’ successful, oversix-decade-long history, and it has never been more evident than in its new line-up of homes coming this fall.
“We’re seeing a return to a more typical fall season, with buyers actively searching for their perfect new home. Affordability is still top-of-mind but we’re noticing a particular buzz around laned and front-garage homes.”
These styles have always been a favorite among buyers who
want a bit more space, blending curb appeal with practical living. “Laned homes, with their charming, unencumbered front yards and rear garages, offer a classic look, while front-garage homes provide the convenience of direct entry – a huge bonus as the weather cools. This fall is shaping up to be a great time to find a home that fits your lifestyle.”
A NEW WAVE OF SHOWHOMES
Morrison Homes has opened a varied range of showhomes over the last few months giving homebuyers a taste of the lifestyle advantages they offer. Whether it’s a sprawling estate, a familyfriendly front-garage home, a charming laned home, or a cozy duplex, Morrison Homes has something to inspire you.
“We started the year strong with our Sirocco Villas and Front Garage showhomes and our Legacy Lynnwood Estate showhome. Since then, we’ve also opened our duplex showhomes in Glacier Ridge, our Front Garage and Duplex showhomes in Seton Ridge, and our Laned and Front Garage showhomes in Wolf Willow,” Conrad says.
“Most recently, we unveiled our Front Garage and Laned showhomes in Livingston. Each new opening has brought fresh designs, innovative floorplans, and a chance for you to experience the quality and care we pour into every home.”
THE SHOWHOME EXPERIENCE
Morrison Homes showhomes are an experience in and of itself. “Visiting a Morrison showhome is like getting a personal tour of your dream home. We design our showhomes to help you truly envision your future. We often pair a standard-specification
home with a more upgraded one, so you can see the difference firsthand and decide exactly what features matter most to you,” Conrad says.
“From incredible design selections to our industry-leading staging, you’ll feel right at home the moment you walk through the door.”
No matter the choice, the new Morrison Homes’ offerings come standard with comfort, careful craftsmanship, and affordability. And they have the awards to prove it – 16 Builder of the Year awards no less – the most among all Calgary homebuilders.
MILESTONE YEAR COMING UP
Even for all its tremendous offerings, the fall may just be a warm-up for 2026 when Morrison Homes marks their 65th anniversary.
“We’re thrilled to announce that 2026 marks our 65th anniversary!” Conrad says. “As a local, familyowned business, this milestone
means a great deal to us. It’s a chance to celebrate not just our history, but also the community that has supported us for over six decades. We have some incredibly exciting things planned for the year and can’t wait to share them with you. Stay tuned – it’s going to be a year to remember!”

BROADWAY ON 17TH:
GROUNDED IN LEGACY, ELEVATED BY DESIGN
At the corner of 17th Avenue and 4th Street SW, a bold new icon is reshaping Calgary’s skyline.
Broadway on 17th is a threetower, master-planned community that blends modern design and unmatched amenities at one of the city’s most connected locations.
This corner has always held a special place in Calgary’s history. In the city’s early days, 4th Street was known as “Broadway,” a vibrant main street lined with shops and social venues, brimming with cultural energy. Today, Broadway on 17th builds on that legacy, creating a new downtown destination where history and modern living meet.
“There is so much excitement already about Broadway on 17th, we have received thousands of registrants on the website ever since the project was announced a few months ago,” says A.J. van der Linden, Sales Manager – Alberta, for Vesta Properties.
Once complete, Broadway will stand as one of Calgary’s tallest residential communities.
The first tower will rise 47 storeys, offering 398 one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes – including penthouses. Each floor plan is thoughtfully designed to suit every lifestyle, enhanced by premium appliances, sophisticated finishes, and modern architectural details.
The second tower will introduce purpose-built rental residences, while the third residential tower will complete the vision for this landmark community.
Beyond the homes, Broadway is transforming the streetscape. A southwest-facing public plaza, landscaped courtyards, and pedestrian-friendly laneways will connect cafés, restaurants, and shops with welcoming open spaces designed to maximize the afternoon sun. Inside, residents
will enjoy access to luxury amenities including a fitness centre, spa, co-working spaces, social lounges, and a sophisticated SkyLounge with panoramic city and mountain views.
“It’s more than a condo project. It’s a catalyst for the neighbourhood’s evolution,” van der Linden says. “Broadway on 17th brings the energy of the Red Mile closer to the Stampede grounds and the new Flames arena now under construction, adding another layer of vibrancy and excitement to the area.”
With more than 1,000 new homes, 70,000+ sq. ft. of retail, and a prime downtown location, Broadway on 17th is not just a place to live. It’s the new standard for city living.

NEW OPPORTUNITIES OPEN IN
DAWSON’S LANDING
Big things are on the horizon at Dawson’s Landing this fall, as the young, dynamic Chestermere community opens new semi-estate showhomes in the latest phase and brings in more amenities that families are sure to enjoy.
Dawson’s Landing was always envisioned to be a family-oriented community that enhances everything that the city of Chestermere already offers. Now, that promise is quickly turning into a reality with new semi-estate homes, a new dog park, and an enviable environmental park that connects the community to nature.
“Phase 6 of Dawson’s Landing offers a unique opportunity for elevated semi-estate living in a well-established, family-friendly community,” says Qualico Communities Marketing Specialist, Rishika Dave.
AN ELEVATED FALL CELEBRATION
On October 25, everyone will get the chance to see for themselves all that Dawson’s Landing offers when the developer, Qualico Communities, throws a grand opening celebration to introduce five stunning new semi-estate showhomes. These homes are built to wow, showcasing larger lots, triple-car garages, and elevated finishes.
The event promises a memorable experience, Dave says. “Visitors will enjoy live music by local musicians, horse-drawn carriage rides around the scenic stormpond, and the chance to explore the natural beauty that surrounds Phase 6.”
A coffee truck and a cozy fire pit will keep guests warm, while delicious food will be served inside the showhomes. “To take a little piece of Dawson’s Landing
home, guests will also receive a complimentary dried flower arrangement, a seasonal keepsake,” Dave adds.
With its mix of luxury, entertainment, and community spirit, this grand opening offers the perfect opportunity to experience the elevated lifestyle that Dawson’s Landing now has to offer.
A NEW LIFESTYLE BECKONS
Homes in Phase 6 will be situated on wider lots – averaging 48 feet, with some as large as 54 feet and many will back directly onto greenspaces, with proximity to the fenced dog park, stormpond, or the naturalized wetlands of the 24-acre Eco Park.
Dave adds that construction for Phase 6 is already underway. The dog park is expected to open later this fall, while the Eco Park will debut in early 2026.
“Everyone’s really excited about the Eco Park. It will offer walking trails, birdwatching areas, viewing platforms, interpretive signage, and gathering spaces for families and friends.”
A COMMUNITY FOR FAMILIES
Dawson’s Landing already has plenty to offer, and residents love the life they find here, as many parks, pathways, and open spaces are already in place.
Additional community features include a playground with half basketball pad, skating area in the winter, and five kilometers of pathways for walking, running, or biking.
“Phase 6 is designed for buyers seeking more - more space, comfort, privacy, and access to nature. Semi-estate homes come with options such as triple car garages, walkout and pie lots, and even some with mountain views, providing a truly upscale living experience,” Dave says.
The community also offers convenient access to schools, including a K-9 Catholic school now under construction, and commercial spaces. A small retail hub is already in operation, and the north commercial area is set to see its first retailers open in 2026, bringing a Fresh Co. grocery store, dental clinic, veterinary services, a gas station, and more.
NEW OPPORTUNITIES
Phase 6 of Dawson’s Landing will have Truman Homes, Trico Homes, NuVista Homes, and Genesis Builders. “Each builder brings their own expertise and style, offering thoughtfully designed homes that balance comfort, elegance, and functionality,” Dave says.
Semi-estate homes in this phase are priced from the mid-$800s and include soughtafter options such as triple-car garages, walkout and pie lots, and mountain views. With wider lots and premium finishes, these builders are delivering homes that reflect both quality craftsmanship and the elevated lifestyle in this Chestermere community.
Dawson’s Landing is currently offering a $25,000 developer rebate on all presale and spec homes for the first 10 qualified buyers. This limited-time incentive is available until October 31, or until all 10 offers have been claimed.
SPURRING
CHESTERMERE’S GROWTH
Qualico Communities has contributed to Chestermere’s fantastic growth with its twin developments of Dawson’s Landing and Bridgeport on the west part of the city, both just minutes away from the eastern border of Calgary.
“Dawson’s Landing and the surrounding area continue to grow, offering both new homes and expanding infrastructure,” Dave says. Just across Chestermere Blvd. is Bridgeport which opened its showhomes in August, giving buyers even more options for modern, family-friendly living.
“The 10-acre commercial space on the north side of Dawson’s Landing is progressing well, with many units already leased,” she adds.
For buyers, these developments mean more conveniences, lifestyle amenities, and future growth, making Dawson’s Landing an increasingly attractive choice for families and those seeking a wellrounded, connected community. Find out more at dawsonslanding. qualicocommunitiescalgary.com.

SMALL TOWN LIVING CHARMS OF OKOTOKS
by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ
The summer may be over, but Okotoks’ new home market remains hot, as fresh opportunities to find the dream life in the Big Rock town continues to grow.
The town just south of Calgary already delivers on breath-taking views of the Rockies, a closeto-nature lifestyle enhanced by natural reserves and winding trails by the Sheep River, and a prevailing small-town culture that persists in spite of the town’s continued growth. It’s the dream community for a dream home.
“Okotoks has grown into a thriving town with every amenity and service imaginable, yet it has retained its unique personality - a tight-knit community where neighbours know each other and local spirit runs deep.” Says Ryan Hall, Director of Marketing for Partners Development Group.
So many have found Okotoks charming that its population has increased 8.83 percent in the last
five years to 33,096, according to the Government of Alberta.
But despite its rapid growth, its small-town charm remains intact, and a casual walk through its Main Street will remind everyone of its stories pioneer past, but also of what its future holds.
SMALL TOWN CHARACTER
There is a ton of compelling reasons why people choose to live here, not the least of which is the breath-taking views of the Rockies. It also has a close-to-nature lifestyle enhanced by natural reserves and winding trails by the Sheep River, and a prevailing small-town culture that persists in spite of the town’s continued growth. It’s the dream community for a dream home.
If you’re new in town and looking for the best advice, go ask a local. And when you’re new to the booming town of Okotoks, there’s no one better to ask about
the lifestyle that awaits one here than Partners Development Group.
Partners – a rapidly growing land developer and homebuilderis based in this lifestyle-rich, idyllic Southern Alberta town located just 20 minutes south of Calgary.
“While the town continues to grow, they stay true to those small-town roots and continue to come together for community events, festivals, parades and more all year long,” Hall says.
A PARTNER IN GROWTH
Partners Development Group has played a key role in the growth of Okotoks’ residential sector. The company has delivered homes in Ranchers’ Rise, Drake Landing, and is now contributing to the town’s expansion through new developments in Wedderburn and D’Arcy.
Launched just two years ago, Lawrie Park is now 75 per cent sold, marking a major milestone
Lawrie Park Condos
for this vibrant multi-family development in the growing community of Wedderburn, located in north Okotoks.
The project features four modern, four-storey buildings, each housing 52 thoughtfully designed condominium units208 homes in total. Residents have embraced the development with its quality construction, stylish interiors, and unbeatable location.
“The feedback from homeowners has been fantastic,” says Hall. “They’re really enjoying their homes. The condos are well-appointed and ideally situated in north Okotoks, directly across from the new D’Arcy Crossing shopping district. With nearby parks, playgrounds, schools, and green spaces, it’s a highly accessible and walkable area. It’s also an affordable option for both downsizers and first-time buyers.”
Adding to its appeal, Lawrie Park sits beside a newly opened dog park and BMX pump track –perfect for Wedderburn residents looking for outdoor recreation just steps from home.
In addition to their for-sale homes, Partners has also seen strong momentum in their rental division, Partners Properties, with standout projects like The Drake Towns and Thrive townhome rentals.
THE APPEAL OF OKOTOKS
Growth is indeed in the horizon, but what makes this small town just 20 minutes south of Calgary a special place to call home? Room to breathe is one way to describe it.
Okotoks is home to more than 179 hectares of public parks and open spaces, in addition to 326 hectares of natural areas including the river valley. Accessibility has also been improved along the banks of the Sheep River giving everyone a much more enjoyable experience.
Residents get to enjoy 94 kilometres of interconnected pathway systems that can get you through various parts of town. There are more than 100 parks, over 70 playgrounds; and
dozens of sports fields, tennis courts and even pickleball courts.
The Okotoks Recreation Center offers fitness, swimming, court sports and more. D’Arcy Ranch golf club and Crystal Ridge golf club and River’s Edge golf club are approachable golf courses for all skill levels.
For shopping, Okotoks offers ample charming locally owned shops downtown for clothing, games, toys and locally farmed food.
D’Arcy Crossing, Okotoks’ newest retail hub, right across the street from Lawrie Park, is a major convenience to communities on Okotoks’s north side. For more information on Lawrie Park and other Partners Developments, go to partnershomes.ca.

BUILDER DESIGN CENTRES: THE HOMEBUYERS’
BEST FRIEND
Building the dream home takes more than wishful thinking. Figuring out the finishes that will ultimately turn the house into your dream home does take some work and effort. And in this pursuit the homebuilders’ design centres are key.
There was a time when – in order to find the right flooring, light fixtures, appliances and more – buyers had to go all over town to pick out the right combination that will reflect their style.
Today, many homebuilders have simplified the process by making it easier for their clients to find what they are looking for in their design centres. These in-house facilities – usually located in the home offices of the builder – centralizes the entire selection process, creating a one-stop-shop where homebuyers can more easily
by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ
find the combination of finishes that will complete their vision for the home. Some, however, have design centres as part of their showhomes as another way to bring convenience to their clients.
Each one has their own unique methods to make their clients’ dream home become a reality, and we take a look at the processes employed by Brookfield Residential, Logel Homes, and Trico Homes to turn what could be a stressful process a more fulfilling and even enjoyable.
BROOKFIELD RESIDENTIAL
The Studio, by Brookfield Residential, is a 3,700 square-foot contemporarily designed space located at the headquarters of the renowned land development and homebuilding enterprise on Richard Road in southwest Calgary.
Opened in 2017, the stylish, art gallery-like space continues to inspire all those who step inside.
The Studio lets clients choose an array of selections within numerous interior finishing categories. And that means everything! From cabinetry selections, to flooring, plumbing fixtures and even window coverings.
Typically, the first selection that initiates Brookfield’s process is appliance selections, which influences the next stage, which is cabinets. Once cabinets are finalized, then it’s on to plank flooring, finishing millwork details and plumbing fixture selections. Once the foundation materials are picked then its time to move from room-to-room focusing on the most impactful rooms, to the least. The kitchen is usually first, and then, the bathrooms.
Brookfield Residential
LOGEL HOMES
Logel Homes is one of the most awarded and most prolific multifamily developers in Calgary, with condo and townhome developments across the city and beyond. Their design centres are usually incorporated within each development.
Reilly LePage, Director of Sales & Marketing at Logel Homes, says their design centers are part of their sales centers and customers can see a great variety of the selections being used in the typically five to seven show suites in these developments. “In some cases, it’s the equivalent of over 8,000 square feet to explore and get inspired and our show suites are really ours, our suppliers, trades, and partners showroom.”
LePage says highly trained expert design staff, with a knowledgeable sales team as back up, are instrumental in keeping clients from getting overwhelmed by the process.
“Our Design Team meet-andgreets is where customers can ask questions and get comfortable with our design team and talk inspiration over hors d’oeuvres and a glass of wine (if that’s your preference),” he adds.
“This is lead by one of the most outstanding people in Calgary’s Interior Design industry, our very own Kristina Hutchins (Senior Director of Architecture and Interior Desing) and Katrina Nogas (Design Manager). Then, we take customer through the process step by step – No going to each supplier, trade, sales person, and design company to put together their vision. We make what should be the most exciting part of a new home build exactly that, and remove the overwhelm.”
TRICO HOMES
Trico Homes’ headquarters in Kingsland Junction is home to its in-house Design Studio – a thoughtfully curated space spanning more than 3,000 square feet.
“The Design Studio provides homebuyers with a relaxed and functional environment where they can choose finishes for their home in a friendly and efficient way,” says Albert Marie Ramos, Trico Homes’ Design Studio Team Lead.
Designed to serve a wide range of homeowners – from first-time buyers to move-up and semiestate clients – the studio offers a seamless experience for making all interior design and finishing selections in one place. Guests are encouraged to explore, compare, and interact with an extensive selection of products, including cabinetry, flooring, plumbing fixtures, fireplace upgrades, and custom finish options. Elevated features such as wood slat accents
and other premium materials allow homeowners to bring added character and sophistication to their spaces.
What truly sets the Design Studio apart is its commitment to staying current. The space is continually updated with new product releases, trending colours, and innovative materials, ensuring clients always have access to the latest styles and design inspiration.
“From cabinets and flooring to plumbing fixtures and fireplaces, our professional Interior Designers offer expert advice and guidance every step of the way. Whatever their vision or budget, we’ll support them through every decision in the selection process,” Ramos adds.

The finer things in life all on one floor, that has always been the appeal of the bungalow and its many variations. Today though, although bungalows are still widely available, the more popular trend is for bungalow villas and stacked apartment condos that offer the same
by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ
luxurious lifestyle at a more economical cost.
The bungalow villa is the more efficient alternative. In fact, they might be just about the hottest thing in the Calgary new home market right now.
Think of the bungalow villa as a single-level townhome – a
bungalow with shared walls. It has all the benefits of the traditional bungalow with single-level living convenience, at a multi-family home price.
Jayman BUILT’s Streams of Lake Mahogany was a huge success, with the luxurious lakeside lifestyle it offered.
Jayman BUILT
“Buyers just love the luxury and convenience they offer, and though they’re mostly retirees and snowbirds, buyers aren’t limited to that demographic,” says Jordan D’Haese, Sales Manager, Jayman BUILT Multi-Family.
Crystal Creek Home’s Juniper Ridge bungalow villas in Taza Park also sold rapidly when it launched in the spring.
“Buyers are drawn to the combination of Crystal Creek’s craftsmanship, the lock-andleave convenience of bungalow living, and the unique setting within a vibrant, master-planned community,” says Crystal Creek Homes Marketing Manager, Karla Takasaki. “This mix of quality, lifestyle, and location has proven to be a winning formula.”
CRYSTAL CREEK HOMES
Crystal Creek Homes is a big believer in the bungalow villa and currently have Juniper Ridge in Taza Park and the recently-launched Pine Creek in Heritage Pointe.
One-level living elevates everyday life by combining style, convenience, and a sense of safety — no stairs, just seamless spaces designed for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying the lifestyle you’ve earned, Takasaki says.
“Each of our bungalow villas is crafted like a work of art, blending modern design with rustic,
elegant charm. Inside you’ll find expansive, light-filled interiors and thoughtfully designed floorplans with striking kitchens at the heart of the home.”
Their Pine Creek Villas at Heritage Pointe attract a different buyer — not just retirees and seniors – but one who values space, privacy, and a community that blends rural charm with urban convenience. Located on the tranquil outskirts of Calgary, the villas offer panoramic views, access to a premier golf course just minutes away, and quick connections to shopping, dining, and amenities. “It’s an ideal setting for those seeking a refined yet relaxed lifestyle.”
Pine Creek Villas will feature a total of 28 charming modernfarmhouse style villas with attached garages. Buyers can choose between two thoughtfully designed plans — The Magnolia at 2,551 sq. ft. and The Willow at 2,795 sq. ft. — each with a range of plan options to ensure your home suits your lifestyle. These villas combine charm, elegance, and practicality in one-level living. The showhome is now open at 510 Pine Creek Ridge at Heritage Pointe.
“We’re excited to give prospective buyers the first opportunity to step inside and experience the quality and design firsthand,” Takasaki says.
Buyers can also get a taste of what their Juniper Ridge bungalow villas offers at the Taza Discovery Centre at 5894 Tsuut’ina Parkway SW.
Juniper Ridge combines exceptional craftsmanship with spacious, flexible layouts featuring walkout basement options, secondary suite options, loft options, and prime ridge locations offering stunning views. It’s location within the Tsuut’ina Nation close to the natural wonders of the Elbow River and Weaselhead Flats are among its best attributes.

JAYMAN BUILT
Jayman BUILT took home the Pinnacle Award for Multi-Family at the BILD Alberta Awards in September, the second year in a row they won that prestigious award. So, the success of The Streams of Lake Mahogany should not be a surprise.
“These luxury condominiums come with everything you could think of and even things you wouldn’t!” D’Haese says. “Professionally designed luxury interior finishings, impressive single level, 2-bedroom floorplans, and private double-car garages with full-sized double driveways, even semi-private elevators.”
Crystal Creek Homes
They can even enjoy over 235,000 square-feet of landscaped greenspace within Calgary’s prestigious lake community of Mahogany.
“There is literally no homestyle in Calgary like The Streams – these floorplans, views and finishings are entirely unique to this produce. We have three showhomes and countless spec
homes available to tour! This is the final opportunity to live in this one and only community,” he adds. “With private beach club access, countless amenities and no maintenance, you can move to a better way of living—in Calgary’s last lake community.”
The Streams offers singlelevel living, luxury specification
and maintenance-free living all backing onto Mahogany Lake or park space. “The location is ideal as it is walking distance not only from the lake but the shops and services of Westman Village and Mahogany’s Commercial plazas. Reflection Estate Condos are in their final phase of selling! Go to jayman.com/TheStreams for more information.
