16 years and counting! Today Trico is proud to announce that our organization has been recognized again as one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies, Platinum Club. Platinum Club members are winners that have maintained their Best Managed status for seven years or more.

“What amazes me about Best Managed Companies is that they are never, ever willing to be complacent,” says Lorrie King, a Deloitte Private partner who co-leads the program with Brown. “They never sit back. They’re always looking for ways to be even better.”

The builder is one of the most successful in Alberta, and the second-largest home construction company in the city, with projects in 25 communities in Calgary.

Integral to its success is its people, says Maaike Ezinga, Trico’s vice-president of human resources.

The company’s 130 employees live and breathe the words behind the company name.

“A lot of our training and other human resources components are based around those key values.”

Trico Homes’ Kennedy II model, at 28 Cranbrook Lane S.E. in Cranston’s Riverstone, showcases what has been the company’s most popular design in every community it has built-in, says Ted Tam, the builder’s general sales manager.

Trico Homes is proud to announce that our organization has been named the HomeStars Best of Award Winner for 2019, making us a four-time honouree.

Best of HomeStars Awards winners are determined based on their Star Score ratings and reviews from the homeowners that hired them.

Thank you to HomeStars for recognizing the hard work of our dedicated staff and trades partners, and to our homeowners for taking the time to share their experience on Homestars.

The design people at Trico Homes went all out in the creation of their first show home for its entry into one of the city’s newest neighbourhoods.

The two-storey Kennedy II has just over 1,000 square feet of main-floor space topped with another 1,400 square feet on the upper floor — space enough for a growing family, extended family, or multi-generational family.

The various spaces in the Trico home in Carrington South by Apex are large — made to look even larger through the open-concept design and large window areas on both floors.

“What really struck us about Trico and this model was that we walked in and felt that the house made functional sense. Some homes had things that were cool, but we didn’t get how we would use them on an everyday basis. This house makes complete sense,” he says.

“When you drive down the hill into Riverstone, the view is breathtaking,” he says. “With the river there, it felt like the least suburby-suburb you could get.”
