The placid waters of Lake Chestermere are teeming with beachgoers and fun-seekers, as families soak in the summer sun along its shores. The excitement can only grow, as Qualico Communities makes waves with the grand opening of Bridgeport, their latest development in this booming lakeside city just east of Calgary.

Chestermere’s newest residential community broke ground in June last year, and now there is an ever-growing buzz for its family-friendly grand opening celebrations on August 23.

“As Bridgeport transitions from presales to move-ins, interest continues to grow. With showhomes opening this month and construction well underway, the community is taking shape, and soon, families will start calling Bridgeport home,” says Qualico Communities Communications Specialist, Rishika Dave.

The grand opening event offers the first opportunity to tour the 10 showhomes that highlight the charms of this young, family-oriented community. These include stunning front-garage showhomes from NuVista Homes and Sterling Homes, and equally spectacular laned homes from Shane Homes, Truman, Trico Homes, and Broadview Homes.

“These showhomes will offer prospective buyers a first look at the quality, style, and possibilities available in Bridgeport,” she adds.

A family-first vision

Bridgeport marks the latest foray by Qualico Communities in Chestermere, following their hugely successful Dawson’s Landing situated just across Chestermere Blvd.

“Throughout the last 70 years, Qualico has been creating legacy communities that inspire pride, enrich lives, and endure in value. As a community that will cater to a diverse range of individuals and offer residents the opportunity to live in one place for a lifetime, Bridgeport will be no exception,” says Thilo Kaufmann, Vice President of Qualico Communities.

Developed with a vision to offer a unique blend of serene lake living and urban convenience, Bridgeport marks an exciting new era for the City of Chestermere. The community, located on the west side of Chestermere, will feature pathways, playfields, parks, and a 12-acre wetland that will enrich the quality of living and foster a sense of community among residents.

“Brimming with beautiful park spaces, Bridgeport will combine comfort with a true community feel and serve as a connection point between the City of Chestermere and the City of Calgary,” explains Emily Smith, Director of Marketing and Customer Care for Qualico Communities.

Filled with opportunities

There is a lot to be excited for in Bridgeport, as it offers homebuyers the rare combination of a prime location, a balanced lifestyle, and long-term potential.

“We’re located just 20 minutes from downtown Calgary, on the west end of Chestermere,” Dave says. “Bridgeport offers everyday ease with the calm lifestyle of lake living. Its proximity to Chestermere Lake and surrounding natural landscapes adds to its appeal.”

In its initial phases, the community is planned to include over 1,840 single-family and multi-family homes, a public school site, commercial retail space, three parks, and 12 acres of wetlands with a stormwater pond delivering a walkable, family-friendly neighbourhood with everything close to home.

“With home prices starting from the mid-$500s, the variety of home types ensures broad appeal across a range of buyer preferences and lifestyles,” Dave adds.

Everything a family needs

Like all of Qualico’s developments, Bridgeport is envisioned as a haven for families. The plentiful amenities it is surrounded by makes life here that much easier for them.

Residents will enjoy easy access to shopping, dining, and entertainment, both nearby and within the community as it grows, Dave says. “Plans for parks, wetlands, and future commercial development will ensure that essentials are just steps away.”

“With a future school site, recreational areas, and thoughtfully designed public spaces, Bridgeport is well-positioned to attract families from both Calgary and Chestermere,” Dave says.

“Bridgeport’s strong early interest reflects a clear demand for communities that offer green space, connectivity, and long-term livability, all within a short commute of the city.”

Surrounded by amenities

“While Bridgeport will offer plenty of fun in the summer with Chestermere Lake, Lakeside Golf Club, and the boat launch nearby, Chestermere really is an all-season city,” says Monica Bilyk, Manager of Marketing & Communications at Qualico Communities. “Families can enjoy swimming and kayaking in the summer and skating or snowmobiling in the winter months.”

Local shopping centres, fine dining options, and vibrant entertainment venues are just a short drive away, including the massive East Gate shopping complex that’s not even ten minutes away from Bridgeport.

Plans also include 3.76 acres of retail commercial space directly within the community, giving residents walkable access to shops and services in the future. With showhomes opening this month and possessions starting soon, buyers will begin to experience the full vision of this vibrant, well-connected community.

“With its balance of natural settings, convenience, and variety in home styles, Bridgeport offers everything you need within reach, and even more to look forward to,” Dave says.

“Homebuyers are invited to experience the community firsthand at Bridgeport’s Grand Opening celebration on August 23, where they can tour 10 showhomes, meet builder partners, and explore the lifestyle this vibrant new neighbourhood has to offer.”
