Trico Homes brings luxury and NY vintage style to inner-city townhomes with Brooklyn

Trico Homes has mastered the townhome form – their string of successful townhome developments in the suburban Calgary area speaks to that. Now, they are bringing their accomplished expertise and craftsmanship to the inner-city with the release of their Brooklyn townhomes.

From Legacy in south Calgary to Precedence in Cochrane, Trico Homes has offered some of the most stylishly functional and innovatively designed townhomes crafted for today’s lifestyles. Their new Brooklyn townhomes, located in the trendy Marda Loop/South Calgary district, will surely turn heads with the charm, functionality and vintage style that only this multi-awarded homebuilder can bring.

Brooklyn is actually a return for Trico to Calgary’s inner-city townhome market, having completed Kingsland townhomes some two decades ago. The opportunity to build in a dynamic and vibrant neighbourhood like Marda Loop seemed too good to pass up, says Brooklyn area manager, William Wong.

“Marda Loop/South Calgary has always been a very desirable place to live because of its centralized location. This is a community that will only continue to appreciate over time, thanks to the (City’s) investment into revitalizing the area, as well as the development of amenities for every need,” he tells Calgary New Home + Condo Guide.

“For this reason, it’s a great time to offer townhomes of this size and quality in an area with limited opportunity. Brooklyn allows an inner-city lifestyle without the hustle and bustle of downtown. It’s a very walkable neighbourhood that’s also close to major roads for convenience.”

Brooklyn gathers 12 three-bedroom, modern townhomes crafted into an iconic vintage style that brings new energy and vibrancy to the community’s streetscape. It is an exclusive development with very limited opportunities, designed for the metropolitan lifestyle, with two distinct floorplans to choose from. Two blocks with six units each are complete and available for quick possessions, they also have a showhome open at regular showhome hours ready to tour.

“Every room in Brooklyn oozes charm and modern design, with hints of rustic elements as a nod to South Calgary’s historic past. Stylish interior finishes beautifully complement the bright, open-concept spaces,” Wong says.

He also notes the significant appeal of the wider living spaces Brooklyn offers. “Most traditional townhomes, which are long and narrow, can make choosing furniture difficult. In Brooklyn you don’t have that crowded feeling. The window size and location also really maximize the flow of natural light into the home.”

Brooklyn is located on the corner of 28th Avenue and 17th Street SW, just a short walk to trendy shopping, restaurants, and other urban amenities, with convenient access to major roads for everything else.

The brick exterior gives it a vintage charm that stands out among the custom-made homes that make up the majority of the neighbourhood. Best of all, Brooklyn features private rooftop terraces and double attached garages – a rarity among both inner-city townhomes, and single-family homes, as most in the area only have single garages.

“Our townhomes offer the unique opportunity to have a double-attached garage, which is very rare in the area. We have two different floorplans which offer options for three-bedrooms with three- and three-and-a-half bathrooms, as well as office space.”

Brooklyn townhomes range from 1,602 to 1,632 square-feet and come with top-of-the-line standard features, including luxury vinyl plank flooring on the entry and main floors, quartz countertops throughout, gas range cooktops with hood fans, and built-in appliances in the kitchen spaces.

“We also have barbecue connections on both the second-floor balcony and rooftop patios with built-in planters. Our homes come roughed-in for AC, smart lock systems, zone targeted programmable thermostats, in-floor heating in bathrooms, and much more,” he adds.

The modern conveniences and stylish design will surely appeal to young professionals looking to live close to downtown in a quiet yet trendy area for either those looking for a first home, down sizers, or those moving up from apartments.

With starting prices from the mid $700,000’s, including GST, they open doors to more homebuyers as Trico Homes’ – as a major homebuilder – has the purchasing power to make substantial savings in the construction process that they can pass on to customers.

“Trico Homes also has a strong reputation in the industry, building for over 30 years, which means we offer far more experience than any other infill developer in the area. Homebuyers can count on our construction quality and a trusted service and warranty program,” Wong adds.

“People will want to live here because we are located on the quiet side of an already established community, within walking distance from many amenities.” Brooklyn residents are just blocks away from picking out fresh produce at Blush lane organic market, buying everyday groceries at Safeway, or choosing from healthy dining options at Our Daily Brett Market and Cafe.

“The revitalized King Edward C space also offers boutiques, shops, craft galleries, and a weekly farmers market, conveniently located less than a block away. It’s dog walker and pedestrian central and has easy access to parks, shopping, restaurants, Crowchild Trail, and Downtown Calgary.”
