Harmony’s promise has always been to find a forever home in a resort-themed community, and that promise is quickly coming to life as new amenities and residential options come online.

This recreation-minded, residential community just west of Calgary has been known for its estate and semi-estate homes that go along with its easy-living, lakeside and golf community nature. The recent releases of its Edgewater luxury lakeside estate homes, its Poplar family-friendly line of move-up homes, and two townhome developments from StreetSide Developments illustrate the length and breadth of residential options it now offers.

Jointly developed by Bordeaux Developments and Qualico Communities Calgary, Harmony – at full build out - will be home to more than 10,000 people. It has barely scratched the surface of its full potential, in fact, its 40-acre lake that is now being enjoyed by its residents will grow to 140 acres in the future.

Coming even sooner is its massive Adventure Park that promises a ton of fun for everyone, and also a world-class luxury spa resort by the lake shore that is about ready to begin construction.

Offering a wide range of housing options is important and gives everyone the opportunity to enjoy its recreational amenities that go with an active lifestyle.

“Harmony’s master plan has always included homes in a variety of styles and price ranges for everyone,” says Bordeaux Developments’ marketing manager, Laurel Lapointe. “It’s exciting to be offering a price point that enables even more families to enjoy the Harmony lifestyle.”

The Poplar Collection has been off to a great start, Lapointe says. “There’s been a lot of interest in building in Springbank from the $580,000s and not having to sacrifice on the size of home. At that price point you can get a 2,300-square-foot home with a south facing backyard, all within walking distance of the lake, a playground and the new Adventure Park.”

The Edgewater Collection garners a lot of interest. “People want the lifestyle of a private access to Harmony Lake. They are looking for that legacy home, where they can raise their children or entertain grandkids on the lake, in their backyard. Currently there are only seven lots available on the northern side of the lake. Lot widths range from 46- to 60-feet. All but three have private docks.”

There is also the Tamarack Collection. It offers upscale living on larger country-sized lots ranging in size from 50- to 70-foot wide frontages and has proven to be one of the more popular home segments in Harmony. Homes here start at $1 million with home, average lot and GST.

What might kick interest into high gear is the introduction of Harmony’s first multi-family development, as StreetSide Developments brings in two townhome projects into the community.

“We have two projects from StreetSide Developments for their Harmony Peaks (Phase 6) and Harmony Park (Phase 10),” Lapointe says. “The Peaks townhome project is currently for sale - we have sales on them actually. Prices start from the $470,000s with GST. This represents Harmony’s first multi-family town home project and also the lowest price entry into the community.”

The Poplar and Aspen Collection gathers select front-attached garage and rear-laned homes from Baywest Homes, Broadview Homes and Sterling Homes. The Edgewater and Tamarack Collections are comprised of award-winning builders Augusta Fine Homes, Baywest Homes, and Calbridge Homes.

The update many want to hear is for Harmony’s much anticipated Adventure Park, whose first phase is expected to open in the fall. ”Feedback on the park has been tremendous, current residents (adults and kids) are excited to try out the skate park and the pump track,” Lapointe says. The first phase includes a beach volleyball court, All Wheel Flow Plaza, All Wheel Pump Track, dog park, toboggan hill, and a skating ribbon. It is four-season fun for everyone.

She points out that Mickelson National Golf Club is open. “They have had an amazing turnout and Calgarians have been incredibly supportive and excited to golf a Phil Mickelson designed course. Harmony residents receive a social membership to the club - it is included in their Owners Association Fees.”

Even more exciting is the entry of spa developer Groupe Nordik to construct its fourth Canadian spa in Harmony. Spanning five acres in Harmony’s Village Centre, the spa represents an investment of more than $45-million and the creation of approximately 400 full- and part-time, local jobs when it opens.

Harmony’s pristine location in Springbank adds to its long list of amenity-rich lifestyle features. It is less than an hour from the mountains, and even less to downtown Calgary.

“All the amenities are set in the prairie foothills with gorgeous Rocky Mountain views. Harmony brings together the best of urban and country experiences to create a remarkable place that is neither a suburb nor city-centre.” she says.
