Hopewell, Qualico team up for Hotchkiss community

Two giants in Calgary’s community development industry joined forces to bring to life the newest southeast community: Hotchkiss.
Hopewell Residential and Qualico Communities joined together to begin development of this 237-acre community at the juncture of Stoney Trail and Highway 22X. Its development can’t come any sooner, as the completion of neighbouring communities of Copperfield, New Brighton and Auburn Bay gives rise to new housing demand in the area.
“We’re excited to announce that land development officially commenced this June, with grading and home construction preparation now fully underway,” says Brett Friesen, Hopewell Residential’s Senior Vice-President, Business and Community Development.

Claudio Palumbo, Qualico Communities’ Vice President, Community Development – Southern Alberta says they are thrilled as well. “We have been seeking opportunities to grow Qualico’s business in Calgary’s highly active southeast sector for many years and jumped at this opportunity when it became available to us.”

With show homes set to open in Fall, 2022, the new community will feature family-friendly paired homes, laned homes and front-attached garage homes. At full build-out, Hotchkiss will include 2,300 homes, and will be home to nearly 5,000 residents. Go to hopewellresidential.com to register and avail of pre-sale deals.

Brookfield’s new Purcell in Livingston

The north community of Livingston continues to grow, as Brookfield Residential introduces its newest showhome: The Purcell 2.
With three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths, it is the ideal front-drive garage home. “The Purcell 2 brings functional space and a great layout that buyers will love. The main floor office remains connected to the house – a perfect workspace for adults, or homework hub for kids.

There is a huge upper-level bonus room, perfect for family movie nights,” says Brookfield Residential Marketing Manager, Justin Catelino.

The 2,229 square-foot Purcell 2 has an additional 655 sq. ft. developed basement that realizes its full potential. The kitchen is a picture of functional and stylish perfection with a large island and walk-through pantry, connected to a spacious mudroom.

“The finishing in this home really shines – natural wood tones are complimented by blue and grey tones, creating a calming vibe throughout the home. The carpet is extra plush, the herringbone backsplash is rich in texture, the open shelves create dimension in the kitchen. Everything comes together in a simple, yet thoughtful way. It really feels like home.”
