Coventry Homes: Flexible home designs for better living

Celebrating 45 years in business, Coventry Homes has been a leader in the home building industry with their unique approach to adaptable layouts, and unwavering commitment to offering clients superior quality homes matched with outstanding service. Functional and flexible home design is at the foundation of Coventry’s success, which is achieved by presenting homebuyers the ability to customize any of their floor plans to fit their personal lifestyle. The homebuyer experience is rated among the best in the industry, and the product exceeds expectations in quality and style.

These last years have seen many industries quickly change processes and adjust product offerings, and this includes the homebuilding industry. However, with the ability of Coventry Homes to easily provide the new and desirable home design trends, created in part by the Covid-19 pandemic, positioned the organization for success. Spending more time at home and the shift in many family routines lead to more demand in homes that provide smart floor plans for multi-generational living, as well as more interest in the opportunity to own a home with a garden suite. Consumers had also adapted to changes in the way they shopped for a home. Typical showhome hours are now a thing of the past, so Coventry continued to ensure consumers were able to book private showhome tours as well as explore virtual tours on all showhomes and most quick possession homes available – right from the comfort of their homes or offices.

With Coventry Homes, homebuyers will find an excellent assortment of home styles to choose from, including bungalows, two-storeys, duplexes and townhomes. Currently, Coventry is building new homes in 15 of the Edmonton area’s most coveted communities. Prospective buyers can explore Coventry Homes within the communities of Cy Becker, Crystallina Nera, Keswick Landing, Laurel Crossing, The Uplands at Riverview, The Village at Griesbach, West Secord, Lake Westerra in Stony Plain, Riverside in St. Albert, Ardrossan Heights near Sherwood Park, Copperhaven in Spruce Grove, and South Pointe in Fort Saskatchewan. Three new, exciting communities were added in 2021; Aster, Brenton at Glenridding Ravine and Hawks Ridge.

Eight new Coventry showhomes were unveiled in 2021, each showcasing excellent designs and Lifestyle Package options. The showhomes opened in the communities of Village at Griesbach, West Secord, Brenton at Glenridding Ravine, Riverside, Crystallina Nera, Ardrossan Heights, Hawks Ridge and Aster.

2022 promises to be just as busy for Coventry Homes. With five new showhomes and two new communities, prospective clients will have plenty of opportunity to view the quality of a Coventry build, in person or virtually. New showhomes are planned for the existing communities of Keswick Landing and Uplands at Riverview and in the new communities of Rivers Edge, Easton in Spruce Grove and Nouveau in St. Albert. Be sure to stay updated with the latest information on grand opening dates throughout the year.

Known for their coveted Lifestyle Packages, Coventry Homes has expertly designed fantastic upgrades that offer a personalized addition to the home building process – without the hassle! Homebuyers are able to customize their home to suit their individual needs, by choosing from a variety packages like the Radiant One, which features 3 different levels of solar panel energy conversion systems; The Executive Chef Built-In, which features a cooktop, built-in oven and a Kitchenaid® stainless steel French door fridge; and as the Preferred Builder of the Edmonton Oilers, Coventry Homes is proud to be the only builder with the exclusive ability to offer the Oilers Team Player Package – a smaller version of the ever popular Oilers Fan Cave package that allows clients to bring the Fan out of the basement and in to any room in the house!

A new standard feature was introduced in 2021- and it was a smart one! Responding to the increased use of homes as retreat, school and office, every pre-sale, single family home is now powered by a state-of-the-art home automation system, the brain of your new home – Control4. Like all aspects of Coventry’s homes, you can customize your new home automation to suit your lifestyle.

One of the key qualities that sets Coventry Homes apart from other homebuilders in the industry is the top-quality finishings that are standard in their homes. Homebuyers will find granite, hardwood, and tile within Coventry Homes – features that are essential to the Coventry Homes brand. Coventry’s Marketing Manager, Tara Van Horn, explains; “This year has presented many unprecedented challenges and a variety of changes; however, one thing that remains steadfast is our commitment to quality and value. It’s important to us to showcase our most popular options up front so that our clients aren’t faced with unexpected hidden costs later in their home buying journey. We adamantly believe that you don’t have to break the bank on upgrades to have a great, and custom, home!”

Supporting local organizations is as important as ever and giving back to the community within the Edmonton area is important to the entire team at Coventry Homes. Over the past decade, the Coventry team has devoted fundraising efforts towards the Edmonton Humane Society by hosting their annual Coventry Homes Paws and Claws Gala and other EHS initiatives. Due to covid restrictions, the 13th annual Gala was on hiatus in 2021, but planning has begun to host it in April of 2022. With over $1,000,000 already raised from the annual gala, funds raised will continue to help care for neglected, abused and homeless animals.

Coventry Homes is excited to have partnered, for the second year, with the Spruce Grove school division for the Building Futures program. The program provides a hands-on learning opportunity for high school students. The program allows for Grade 10’s to learn the steps and skills needed to build a home, alongside Coventry staff and trades, and in the process are earning credits towards their high-school diplomas. This unique opportunity provides students with an authentic experience where, by the end of the year, they will have built a home and learned valuable insight about contributing to their community.

45 years ago, Coventry Homes’ CEO, Henri Rodier, founded the company based on values that are still true to his team today and notes the importance of adapting to provide the best options for customers, “Our flexibility and highly customizable approach to home design has always been a key benefit for our clients and our newest offerings will be no different. You can expect to see even more flexibility in terms of our models and optional layouts, customizations to our quick possession homes, and even within our curated lifestyle packages.” Coventry’s commitment to customer service ensures all clients receive a first-rate experience and are interacting with a team that is genuine, ethical, and devoted to delivering a product that enriches their lives.
