When real estate experts, economists and other observers of the Canadian housing market typically talk about the hottest, biggest and best, Edmonton rarely makes the conversation. Or, at best, its far down the list. Even RBC Economics, which produces an otherwise excellent and always well-publicized quarterly Housing Trends and Affordabilty Report, doesnt include Edmonton in the commentary of major city markets.

Homeowners, prospective buyers and those involved in the home building industry, however, know full well what an outstanding real estate market Edmonton represents. Indeed, this Rodney Dangerfi eld of Canadian housing deserves its due respect.

In this 2015 edition of the Edmonton Builder & Developer Annual, we profi le many communities and developments that absolutely qualify in discussions about whats hot and best. Biggest? Who cares. Size doesnt necessarily equate to quality, at least when it comes to real estate.

Edmonton boasts a number of characteristics that other markets would love to have. These features, too, are discussed in the pages of the Annual. They include a strong economy yielding solid employment and wage growth, infrastructure improvements, increasing population, forward-thinking economic development and importantly when it comes to housing affordability. Edmonton may not experience the double-digit value appreciations seen in some other markets and property types, but housing here is affordable among the most affordable in all of Canada.

Not that its a slouch performer, either. Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. forecasts average home prices will climb 4.4 per cent this year to about $360,000, another 3.1 per cent to $371,000 in 2015, and 5.6 per cent to $380,000 for 2016. Compare these prices to those typically quoted in Canadas hottest and biggest markets, and youll understand why Edmontonians are quite happy with such growth, thank you very much.

RBC and others should take note.

STERLING HOMES is winding up this year on an exhilarating high! Sterling Homes, as part of Qualico Group of companies, is elated to be the recipient of the 2014 CHBA-Alberta Awards of Excellence Multi-family Townhome or Duplex Under $300,000 and Finalist - Multi Family Builder of the Year. These awards celebrate excellence in new homes, innovation, technology and construction techniques, outstanding presentation, as well as, marketing activities across Canada. Sterling Homes has found themselves in the winners circle many times over the last ten years.

Success such as this does not come easily but with a strong work ethic, forward thinking and respect for the community. As a member of the Qualico Group, Sterling Homes has continued to follow and improve

upon the values of its founder. In 1950, Dr. David Freisen and his wife Katherine, began Qualico in Winnipeg with the building of a few houses - sixty years later this modest business has expanded across Western Canada and the United States. Qualico has offices in Winnipeg, Calgary, Vancouver, and of course, Edmonton.

Sterling Homes (Edmonton) Ltd. has been a popular builder in Edmonton for more than twenty years by building homes not houses and creating some of the finest communities. In providing family friendly pricing and superior follow-up service on all their new homes Sterling receives a multitude of referrals from their clients. Satisfied clients, who not only refer but, in time buy again from Sterling and that speaks volumes.

Sterlings primary goal has always been to be the very best at what they do, with genuine concern for their customers satisfaction with the finished product. Sterling Homes does not just treat their clients with respect and understanding, they treat their staff, suppliers and trades people with the same sincere consideration. In turn, these same people give their very best and it is this best that has made Sterling Home so sought after

As a member of the Qualico Group, Sterling is able to continue to deliver excellent pricing through volume purchasing of materials, trades and land. Their membership in the Alberta New Home Warranty Program and Edmonton Home Builders Association is assurance to new home owners of Sterlings commitment in protecting the clients investment. Further, they offer a 10 Year New Home Warranty backed with a completion guarantee. Their rating with New Home Warranty is in the Excellent category.

Miles Kohan, vice president of Sterling Homes, credits their success to the Qualico Groups style of operation that gives the various housing divisions autonomy in order to develop products that are suited to specific subdivisions and target markets rather than simply cookie cut.

This autonomy is apparent in the 18 show homes currently operating throughout Edmonton, Stony Plain, Spruce Grove, and Fort Saskatchewan. Sterling Homes has four product lines, single family, duplexes, townhomes and RPLs. Duplexes targeted to first time home buyers and single family homes that are aimed at first buyers and second move up buyers including high end purchasers. Kohan stated recently that receiving the 2014 CHBA Alberta Awards Best Multi-family Townhome or Duplex Under $300,000 is particularly exciting as homes under $250,000 on a lot, plus GST equal a selling price of roughly $350,000. This is a popular price point for buyers and with Sterlings winning plan it is a very positive position for all.

Sterling Homes are built with solid craftsmanship and advanced technology to accommodate family living and busy lifestyles. By listening to potential clients Sterling realized the frustration many felt when viewing the beautifully appointed show homes. What was included and what was not? So, they rectified this concern quite simply by including the most common items clients like to upgrade. By including the upgrades into the base price Sterling is able to purchase them at a better value giving the consumer a greater net value.

It takes a sincere understanding of people, listening and craftsman skills to create homes that keep generations of clients referring their family and friends. This sincere understanding goes beyond building great neighbourhoods

for families, Sterling Homes continues the philanthropy of founder Dr. David Freisen with their involvement in supporting charitable organizations and initiatives such as Moving Out Hunger events and Habitat for Humanity. Vice President Miles Kohan had the honour of presenting the keys to a family for one such home during Habitat Day in the Capital Region, an experience he has found both rewarding and humbling. Both he and his wife are working to eliminate homelessness in Edmonton through the housing first approach. Involvement in these volunteer activities builds a strong community that benefits all by creating better neighbourhoods, better business and more importantly better quality living for all.

Location, location, location! Colin Wilson, Sales and Marketing Manager, reminds people to find the area that works best for their lifestyle then choose a home. Consider what your family does daily and choose a neighbourhood that fits these activities. No matter how beautiful the home if it takes you away from things you love or adds to commuting time you will not be happy.

Currently Sterling is pleased to have homes in many fine communities such as Allard, Ambleside South, Cy Becker, Langdale, Laurel Crossing, Manning Village, Newcastle, Orchards, Terrace at Schonsee, Sienna (Ft. Saskatchewan), Springate (Spruce Grove), Tamarack, Walker Lakes, and Westerra (Stony Plain).

Whether this a clients first home, luxury move up or a senior downsizing, Sterling has the home and community designed for maximum enjoyment - warm family atmospheres, convenient amenities, nature walking trails, landscaped park-like settings, beautiful storm lakes and so much more! These communities are rich in detail and value - an absolute must see for your next Sterling Home!

With more than 60 years experience, countless accolades and awards, competent and dependable with a reputation second to none, Sterling Homes continually strives to exceed customer satisfaction while providing lasting value and unparalleled excellence.

Mattamy Homes, Canadas largest new homebuilder now has over 70,000 homes in hundreds of communities across North America. Through the years they have earned numerous awards for the quality of their home designs, the planning of their communities and the depth of their customer satisfaction. Most Mattamy communities are master-planned so the neighbourhood can include features that help enrich the lives of all who live there.

Mattamy is also active in the communities on an ongoing basis with planned events all year long and they sponsor many local events and charitable programs.

They have also learned how to use space efficiently, how to provide a variety of styles so each street can have its own identity and the neighbourhoods have plenty of room for parks, playgrounds and walking/biking trails.

When Mattamy builds your home, they make sure you are kept involved throughout the entire process so you know exactly how your home is progressing through each step of the way. Even beyond the moment you

get to put the key in your door of your new home for the very first time.

Since the very beginning, in 1978, Mattamy has believed in providing the best customer service available. The company has earned numerous awards for homeowner satisfaction with many of them based on comments from existing homeowners. And there is nothing better than a compliment from a happy homeowner.

Mattamy is well-established in The Greater Toronto Area, Ottawa and throughout the United States in Phoenix, Minneapolis, Charlotte, Jacksonville and Orlando, and with new communities coming in Tucson and Tampa/Sarasota.

Down the road youll find 3 successful communities in the Calgary area, and since July 2014 Mattamy brought their 35 years of successful homebuilding experience to the Edmonton region with the opening of Coloniale Estates in Beaumont. Two master-planned communities are also scheduled to open in the near future to Sherwood Park and Southwest Edmonton.

And... Mattamy Homes Has Had Lots And Lots Of Practice.

The Walnut Showhome, Coloniale Estates, Edmonton



Coloniale Estates In Beaumont. Distinctive Homes In A Golf Club Setting. There is something to enjoy about Coloniale Estates every day. It is the kind of place where neighbours become friends and kids have plenty of opportunity to run and play. This is an exclusive golf club community with favourable pricing that is hard to find in golf course communities.

In Coloniale Estates youll find great park spaces where neighbours can gather and enjoy each others company, walking/biking trails for short after-dinner strolls or energetic bike rides. In winter those trails function as cross country skiing opportunities. There are 5 schools in and around Beaumont, serving elementary and high school students. There are superb recreational facilities all around and shopping at the Montalet Mall, The Edmonton International Airport and the Grey Nuns Hospital are 15 minutes away.

The homes are all Detached Single Family Homes with 2-Car or 3-Car Tandem Garages, ranging in size from 1,480 Sq. Ft. to 2,681 Sq. Ft. Many of the exterior designs are unique to this community and reflect Mattamys ability to provide a variety of designs to make each street more interesting. Special features such as front porches also elevate the sense of friendliness in the community.

You Can Be Here In Minutes And You Can Live Here Right Now.In Coloniale Estates, Mattamy has a selection of Quick Possession Homes ready for sale so you and your family can live here sooner rather than later.

If golf course community living has been part of your vision of a dream home, then now is the time to come to Beaumont and visit the Coloniale Estates Sales Centre. Youll find everything that you expected from a golf course community except for one thing: high prices.

All Mattamy homes also come with two trees and fully sodded yards, so the neighourhood is green not brown.

Youll find that Mattamy builds homes that are worthy of your family memories.

When you build with us, you get great customer service and great promotions like Home of the Month, explains Mains. ReidBuilt picks one of the homes every month to be their Home of the Month, and offers all buyers of that home in any of their communities an amazing package like a builder credit or basement development.

In terms of customer service, to make sure youre happy with the entire building process, theyve put in place a Customer Care Coordinator who ensure that the building and move-in process is smooth and trouble-free.

ReidBuilt Homes range from 1114 sq ft to 3286 sq ft, and they strive to build houses that are perfect for each and every individual buyer. Whether you are a first-time buyer, someone looking to purchase an estate home or anywhere in between, ReidBuilt makes your home your own. In fact, using their website, you can customize four of their homes shingles, siding, trim, doors and much more.

Along with Home of the Month, the Customer Care Coordinator and the customizable tool on their website,


ReidBuilt Homes has been building homes in the Edmonton area for over 30 years, and with that comes expertise and wisdom in terms of what Edmontonians want in a home. The key to our success is in our simplified building process, the variety of housing we offer, and our ability to build affordable, quality homes, says Jeremy Main, ReidBuilts Sales and Marketing Manager. To date, in 2014, theyve sold about 200 homes (at the time of printing) and about 10,000 homes since their inception in 1982.

ReidBuilt picks one of the homes every month to be their Home of the Month, and offers all buyers of that home in any of their communities an amazing package like a builder credit or basement development.

In terms of customer service, to make sure youre happy with the entire building process, theyve put in place a Customer Care Coordinator who ensure that the building and move-in process is smooth and trouble-free.

ReidBuilt Homes range from 1114 sq ft to 3286 sq ft, and they strive to build houses that are perfect for each and every individual buyer. Whether you are a first-time buyer, someone looking to purchase an estate home or anywhere in between, ReidBuilt makes your home your own. In fact, using their website, you can customize four of their homes shingles, siding, trim, doors and much more.

Granville gets grandeR By Alldritt Land Corporation LP

Over the past five years, Granville has enjoyed a tre-mendous amount of success in each stage of de-velopment and there is no indication of this slowing down. In fact, recently released lots in Stages 8 and

10A are already almost sold out. With this incredible popularity, coupled with the release of their prestigious estate lots and new concrete and steel condominiums, it doesnt take long to see why Granville is West Edmontons premiere neighbourhood.

This charming Craftsman inspired community takes it up a notch with their new estate section, which will bring to the com-munity its second enhanced water feature as well as a large park with mature trees and walking trails. We wanted to create a community that has something for everyone. Residents can buy their first Granville home and then move up or down to a different housing product as their lifestyles change, says David Benjestorf, Legal Counsel and General Manager of Alldritt Land Corporation. More importantly, however, we wanted to create a community that would carry on Alldritts legacy of excellence, ingenuity, hard work and customer satisfaction.

THE LEGACY AND INSPIRATION Stan Alldritt Srs vigorous work ethic, ingenuity and distaste for mediocrity continues to inspire the Alldritt Group to this day. The story of how the Alldritt Group began is not only interesting but also inspirational. Born in 1909 in a small town north of Dublin, Ireland, Stan Alldritt Sr. sought to stake his own claim in the new world. With a sense of adventure and a great work ethic instilled upon him by his family, Stan Sr. came to Canada in the early 1930s. Upon arrival, Stan Sr. obtained a teaching degree from the University of Saskatchewan, followed thereafter by a degree in Geotechnical Engineering.

He worked for many years in both fields, though as the 1930s drew to a close, the possibility of war grew ever more real. The Canadian government sent out a decree seeking engineers to be trained to help with the war effort. Jumping at the opportunity to give back to his new found country, Stan Sr. was off to Ontario where he was trained as an Aircraft Engineer. Receiving top marks in his class, Stan Sr. was offered his choice of posts. After set-tling in Edmonton, Stan Sr. worked at the aircraft repair division


at the Edmonton Municipal Airport. Damaged aircraft would be sent in crates via ship from the warfront to Canada, and then via rail to Edmonton. Once repaired, the planes were then flown back to Europe to rejoin the war effort. Interestingly, the government would hold regular salvage auctions. At such auctions, Stan Sr. would purchase wooden crates that the aircraft parts came in, taking them home and stockpiling the nails and wood in his spare time. In addition, he would scrape the solder from the stainless steel boxes (used to ship aircraft engines) which were obtained from the same auction, selling the lead back to the government to manufacture bullets for the front lines.

With victory abroad nearing, war related aircraft work began to dwindle and the Edmonton based aircraft engineers were en-couraged to seek post war opportunities. Knowing that day would come, Stan Sr. had amassed a sizable stockpile of building materials. With that ingenuity, vision and resources, the present day Alldritt Group was born. Beginning with the homes at the NW corner of Stony Plain Road and 124 Street in 1943, and then the adjacent apartments (still standing to this day), the Alldritt Group began

providing quality homes in a timely manner to meet the housing shortage that followed WWII. Alldritt Group is still a family run business, currently being run by Stan Alldritt Jr. who carries on his fathers legacy of quality and ingenuity.

Over the years, the Alldritt Group has developed or built thou-sands of residential units in Edmonton and its surrounding areas, which continues to this day, and has further amassed an equally impressive commercial portfolio, which grows with each passing year. With 70 years of experience and knowledge, the Alldritt Group has firmly planted its roots in Edmonton and Granville has now become a part of that legacy.

FEATURES OF GRANVILLEGranville has something for everyone. Home options in Granville include duplexes, single family homes and now refined estate properties. This year, Stafford Greens added a 4-storey con-crete and steel condominium to the mix which is presently under construction. In addition to their four premiere single family home builders (Alldritt Homes, Bedrock Homes, Crimson Cove

FEATURES OF GRANVILLEGranville has something for everyone. Home options in Granville include duplexes, single family homes and now refined estate properties. This year, Stafford Greens added a 4-storey con-crete and steel condominium to the mix which is presently under construction. In addition to their four premiere single family home builders (Alldritt Homes, Bedrock Homes, Crimson Cove

23

Homes and Pacesetter Homes), five very distinguished build-ers were selected for the estate builder group (Infiniti Master Builder, Kanvi Homes, Kimberley CustomBuilt, Parkwood Master Builder, and San Rufo Homes). This exciting combination of 9 award winning builders ensures that all new-home buyers are able to find the perfect home to fit their personal tastes and lifestyle needs.

Granville also offers its residents the convenience of a wide variety of amenities at its doorstep which gives homeowners the unique combination of a newly built home coupled with already existing infrastructure and services. These amenities include two recently opened new schools nearby (with another one coming) as well as a variety of recreational and professional service op-portunities. In addition, a wide variety of existing retail services including two grocery anchored shopping centers and Edmontons

newest Costco are walking distance away. With so much demand in the area, we are also constructing three new shopping centres in Granville to compliment all that already exists. One of which includes an 8 acre live, work and play site so residents will have everything at their fingertips, says Benjestorf.

Other Granville features include two beautifully manicured water features, an extensive trail system connecting to adjacent communities, enhanced landscaping and like amenities, and a centrally located 21 acre future school/park site, all designed to encourage an active lifestyle. Ideally located with easy access to the Whitemud and Anthony Henday, and adjacent to undeveloped reserve land, Granville has the benefit of quick City wide access without the negative impacts of noise, debris, power lines and traffic.

With so many great features, its easy to see why life is so grand in Granville!
