Westman Village to transform residentia­l living

- BILL BROOKS

How and where consumers choose to live is about to undergo a dramatic shift. Westman Village, the new 5.5-hectare, multi-faceted developmen­t in Mahogany will offer discerning consumers anything and everything they could hope for. Whether a condominiu­m, an estate home seniors living and retirement or leasing, there is something for everyone here. And the heart of the developmen­t, the $25-million Village Centre, recently celebrated its grand opening party. The 40,000-sq.-ft. centre features a wine cellar, arts and crafts centre, fitness, spin and hot yoga facilities, woodworkin­g room, two swimming pools, movie theatre, party room, running track and half-court gymnasium. And don’t forget the indoor garden, library, terrace, billiards room, steam room and two-storey waterslide.

More than 500 guests attended the awesome opening on Dec. 6. Chef-attended stations, Aqualillie­s performing in the pools, a killer band in the gym, painting demonstrat­ions, guitarist Aaron Young, Lisa Longball golf demonstrat­ions, scotch bar samplings, piano players and woodworkin­g demonstrat­ions were but a few of the evening’s eye-popping offerings.

Jayman Built chairman and CEO Jay Westman gave a heartfelt welcome as guests toasted the opening of Village Centre. Who was not in attendance would make a much shorter list as the who is who in business, politics and the homes industry attended including: Marg Southern; Ann McCaig; RBC’s Jeff Boyd; Bill Smith; councillor­s Sean Chu and Joe Magliocca; Ross Glen; Carol Oxtoby; Michelle Cameron Coulter and her husband Al Coulter; Diana Joseph and her husband Ken; Wade Schultz; Don Dessario; Bryan Pinney and Steacy Collyer; Norm Bogner; Lance Hurtubise; Dan MacPhee; Vince Wong; Ryan Turbide; Richard Heine; Wayne Benz; Bob and Cole Harris; R.D.
