Tuscan Rise: hotter than summer

Affordability, functionality and style have always been the hallmarks of Rockford. This formula worked to perfection in their Tuscan Rise townhomes, as sales continue scorch this summer.

The two- and three-bedroom row townhomes that Tuscan Rise offers have been very well received in the well-established community of Tuscany in the northwest. So well-received in fact that the initial release of townhomes is all but sold out.
“Most of our incredibly popular Siena townhomes are now sold and so we are now focused on ramping up sales for our Verona model,” says area manager Helena Kipp.

The two-bed, two-bath Verona is guaranteed to win hearts and minds with its well-thought-out floorplan that optimizes all livable space and couples it with a hard-to-match affordability.

“We anticipate the Verona to be very popular with first time home buyers such as those living at home and saving up to buy and those currently renting,” Kipp says. “Our extremely attractive starting price of $269,000 + GST gives purchasers an opportunity to get into home ownership at a very reasonable cost. In fact, many purchasers will likely end up paying less to own their townhome than they currently pay for rent!”

Kipp estimates that a Verona monthly mortgage payment based on the starting price with a five percent down will only be $1,140 a month.

She says that they are also seeing a huge demand for quick possession townhomes, and Rockford is moving to meet the challenge. “We are currently completing three quick-possession Veronas that will be ready to move in by the fall.”

Tuscan Rise has three models ranging in size from about 1,100 to 1,183 square-feet. The Verona is a two-bedroom, two-bath layout with an option to develop the basement. It includes two outdoor assigned parking stalls. The Arezzo is a two-bed, two-bath townhome with a tandem garage. It is at 1,103 square-feet and starts at $325,000 + GST.

The Siena is available in two- or three-bedroom floor plans with 2.5 bathrooms and an option to develop the basement. It includes an attached single car garage with driveway. It is at 1,183 square-feet and the last two remaining Sienas are priced at $356,000 + GST. “We have a limited number of walk-out units in this plan,” Kipp says.

A taste of the lifestyle that is offered in Tuscan Rise can be sampled in the two Siena showhomes that are open. The kitchen with its centre island with extended ledge makes it perfect for hosting house parties (once we can do so safely again), or for quick breakfasts for couples on the go. The developed basement shows how much lifestyle space these models offer.

“The standard specs we offer are already quite outstanding,” Kipp says. These include the luxury vinyl sheet flooring, which is pretty durable especially for families with young children or pets. The flat-style Thermafoil kitchen cabinetry is very stylish and quite practical, as they are easy to clean.

Tuscan Rise is conveniently located close to Crowchild Trail and 12 Mile Coulee Road and has easy access in and out of the community. It’s a peaceful, family orientated area with lots of walking paths, ravines and beautiful scenery. Those who enjoy the outdoors will find easy access to Nose Hill Park, Cochrane and it’s close and convenient to head west towards the mountains.

“We have established schools, shopping, plenty of local businesses and services and the LRT station is a three-minute drive away,” Kipp says. Tuscan Rise is giving buyers a final opportunity to own a new home in this popular, amenity-rich neighbourhood, she adds.

Tuscan Rise will have a total of 83 units once this development is complete. “Customers can expect a low maintenance lifestyle. Our homeowners enjoy inexpensive condo fees which take care of all exterior maintenance and repairs. This allows our owners to enjoy their downtime rather than spending it cutting the grass or shovelling snow!”
