Trico Homes showcases fan-tastic tribute to Cavalry FC soccer club

Friday, February 03, 2023

Visitors can view the decorated bedroom in the home builder’s Kensington model in Wolf Willow.

Visitors to show homes in the southeast community of Wolf Willow are getting a kick out of a unique tribute to the Cavalry Football Club of the Canadian Premier League.

Trico Homes, a popular local home builder and staunch supporter of sports and recreation in Calgary, decorated a child’s bedroom in its Kensington model to showcase support for the local soccer club. The Kensington is an 1,881-square-foot two-storey front-garage model, just one of four show homes that the builder opened in late 2022. Wolf Willow, a WestCreek Developments community, is located east of Macleod Trail by the Bow River.

Relocate To The Footsteps Of The Rockies With Homes Starting In The Mid-$600,000s

Desirable single-family homes in the city of Okotoks offer breathtaking views

Google ‘images of Alberta’ and you’ll be flooded with photos of snow-capped Rocky Mountains and rolling foothills. It’s what draws thousands of people to Alberta every year, in addition to affordable housing opportunities and family-friendly communities.

The classic Alberta scenery you’ll find on Google is more than just a postcard for the residents of Okotoks — it’s the stunning view enjoyed at every turn in the idyllic city of 31,000 people just 15 minutes south of Calgary city limits.

While 63 per cent of Okotoks residents are employed in Calgary, Okotoks remains notoriously close knit with a community spirit steeped in Alberta’s rich ranching tradition. It’s the perfect choice for families seeking a quaint community lifestyle, with big-city amenities conveniently close by.

D’ARCY is a new community on the north side of Okotoks, a premium location that offers the city’s closest proximity to Calgary and neighbours the scenic D’Arcy Ranch Golf Club. Designed and constructed by award-winning land developer Anthem, Jenny Cawthorn, in marketing with the company, says D’ARCY has everything that people who are relocating are looking for.

Make The Move With Quick Possession Homes

Thursday, December 15, 2022

Building a new home can require a lot of patience. It can take as long as 10 months (sometimes longer) to move into a pre-sale home, and not everyone has the luxury to wait that long. But there’s an easier way, and that’s by getting into a quick possession home.

The quick possession home – or spec home – is an industry staple that provides buyers on a tight timeline the opportunity to own a new home and helps the builders themselves keep their tradespeople busy with a steady workflow. It’s a win-win.

These homes are constructed using builder specifications (hence, “spec”) and most are move-in ready and available for a quick possession. The last couple of years, however, saw supplies of spec homes depleted to almost nothing as a hot homebuying market took hold, coupled by supply chain interruptions.

The spec home pool in Calgary has since stabilised and experienced builders were well prepared for the eventuality, relying on veteran leadership, a reliable trade base, and deep pockets for a steady supply of construction materials. Here is how some were able to navigate the choppy waters and have new spec homes ready for buyers that need them.

Downsizing To Seton Bungalow Brings Joy And Convenience

Friday, December 02, 2022

After almost three years of considering a move to a smaller home, Maria and Larry Smith took the plunge, purchasing a bungalow by Trico Homes in the southeast community of Seton.

“When our daughter got married and moved out in 2019, that’s when we really started to think seriously about it,” recalls Larry Smith.

For the past 14 years, they’d been in living in Calgary’s Evergreen community in a large, five-bedroom, 4,100-square-foot, two-storey home. But as retired empty nesters, the home had become too big for them. They wanted something low-maintenance with few or no stairs, a place close to nature and amenities and most importantly of all, their new home had to be within walking distance of their daughter, son-in-law and new grandchild, who had settled in Seton, a master-planned community by Brookfield Residential.

“We didn’t even consider any other communities,” says Larry Smith. “We wanted a new community, a new build home and it had to be a bungalow. And we wanted all of the daily services that we would require within walking distance.”

Trico Homes CEO Recognized For Outstanding Leadership

Tuesday, November 22, 2022

Wayne Chiu found success and fulfillment by putting Albertans first

In 1980, Wayne Chiu graduated from the University of Manitoba with a degree in mechanical engineering and returned home to Hong Kong to begin his professional career. By 1982, he was newly married and immigrating to Canada with his wife Eleanor.

This past summer, he was recognized by the Calgary Chamber of Commerce with a 2022 Distinguished Business Leader Award, for demonstrating ethical leadership.

Bungalows Offer Stately, Single-Level Living

Tuesday, November 22, 2022

If there’s one home designed to fit a specific lifestyle, it has to be the bungalow. This single-level, not always-single-family home type is a mainstay of the homebuilders’ repertoire and a perennial favourite, especially among the older generations. But today, you might be surprised at how many more variations of the bungalow there are that fit not just the senior lifestyle.

The bungalow is traditionally a single-storied house with a sloping roof. Encyclopedia Britannica says the name derives from a Hindi word meaning “a house in the Bengali style” and came into the English language during the era of the British administration of India.

Multigenerational Homes Are Taking Off In Calgary

Thursday, November 03, 2022

Living together is cultural, and it also helps control rent, inflation and daycare costs.

Calgary has seen a mini-boom in homes expressly built for multigenerational living, driven largely by the Indian community.

At first, these were concentrated in the new northeast communities of Cornerbrook and Homestead. But Trico Homes sales area manager Akshat Mathur says the demand is growing in the southeast community of Pine Creek as well.
