#Inside Calgary

What’s Happening

Brookfield Residential likes doing things in big ways, and its new Livingston Homeowners’ Association (HOA) is the biggest of its kind in Alberta at over 35,000 square-feet. Simply called The Hub, it will be the centre of social and cultural activity in this New North community it is developing. It sits on six acres of land and includes a full-size gymnasium, programmable spaces and banquet facility. Livingston residents can now book a free tour of the astounding facilities at Livingston-connect.com

By the numbers

The drive to end homelessness in Calgary achieved another milestone with the virtual opening in October of James House. The 27-unit building in the community of Hillhurt/Sunnyside was built by Cardel Lifestyles and Logel Homes under the homebuilder-led RESOLVE Campaign and in partnership with the Calgary Homeless Foundation (CHF), HomeSpace Society (HomeSpace) among others.

The name honours the legacy of James Logel, the late father of Tim Logel, President and CEO of Logel Homes, and Co-Founder of Cardel Lifestyles. It comes at a time when the pandemic highlighted more than ever the need for housing Calgary’s estimated 3,000 homeless. Logel says he believes his late father would be honoured to have his name on a building that is providing a home to vulnerable Calgarians.

There are two more RESOLVE-funded buildings opening this year:
• The Triveri House in Forest Lawn, built by Calbridge Homes, which will provide 38 homes for young adults supported by Enviros.
• And a nine-storey concrete tower of 74 affordable units located Downtown 5th Avenue. The name will be revealed during the launch date December 15. This building was funded by private philanthropist David Bissett, the Government of Canada through the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation and the City of Calgary.

Rangeview breaks ground

Section23 Developments has broken ground on Rangeview, its new 322-acre community located in southeast Calgary.
The developer says Rangeview will be Calgary’s first “garden-to-table” commmunity designed to nourish and inspire authentic living through food celebration.

Rangeview will be the first community Alberta to introduce ‘Agricultural Urbanism’, which is the practice of integrating local food systems in the design and programming of neighbourhoods and communities. Driven by the demand for social, economic and environmental sustainability, Agricultural Urbanism is quickly gaining momentum across North America, and Section23 is uniquely positioned to pioneer this concept in Rangeview.

Rooted in Section23’s rich agricultural heritage, the community will become a vibrant and social gathering place for neighbours to connect, surrounded by amenity-rich residential living, community gardens and food production opportunities. When complete, it will be home to 3,000 families and a population of 10,000.

“My father had one motto for his life. He said, ‘Be sure to take care of the land, and the land will take care of you’. This philosophy continues to resonate with me today,” says Robert Ollerenshaw, Section23’s Founder and Executive Chairman. “It is an honour to see my vision for the community of Rangeview come to life, and we are pleased to share this land and my family’s legacy with the next generation.”

Rangeview’s founding builder partner group, including Baywest Homes, Homes By Avi and Jayman BUILT. Development of the community’s first phase is now underway. Show Homes are expected to open mid-2021, with a Community Grand Opening slated for Fall 2021.

The Theodore takes shape in Kensington

The Theodore will be a defining landmark in Kensington, and it is beginning to take shape as construction begins. The 10-storey, glass-clad condo development will be in fact the tallest building in this vibrant inner-city community.

This marks the third building by Graywood Developments to break ground in the Calgary market and it promises to be something special.Located at the corner of 10th Street NW and Gladstone Road NW, The Theodore will be comprised of one- two- and three-bedroom suites, with stunning panoramic views of Calgary’s skyline, along with access to walking and cycling paths, the LRT and retail.

“The Theodore is a prime example of Graywood’s commitment to developing quality living spaces in the most sought after neighborhoods,” says Stephen Price, President and CEO, Graywood Developments. “We’re firm believers in the future of Calgary, and excited to be moving forward on what we consider to be a landmark development in Kensington. The Theodore showcases the best of two worlds, offering the amenities and bustling atmosphere of downtown living, and the reprieve that comes from being just outside the core.”

Available suites start from the low $300,000s, ranging from 508 to 1,519 square-feet. The presentation and show suite now open at 101, 227 10th Street NW. To find out more, visit www.TheodoreCondos.com.
