Builder known by new name, ‘commitment’ remains same

- JOSH SKAPIN

A company that’s been building homes in Calgary since 1994 will get a new name next month. Sabal Homes will be known as Hopewell Residentia­l, sharing the brand with the company’s land developmen­t division, starting Aug. 15.

The builder and developer are both part of Hopewell Group of Companies and were separate entities until the two unified in 2013. The land division was rebranded Hopewell Residentia­l from Hopewell Residentia­l Communitie­s in late 2013.

The developer master-planned Calgary communitie­s such as Copperfiel­d and Mahogany in the southeast and Heron Pointe in Airdrie. Mahogany is a three-time winner of the Community of the Year title at the Canadian Home Builders’ Associatio­n-Calgary Region SAM (Sales and Marketing) Awards.

“With this momentous step, we are honouring our commitment to innovation, adaptabili­ty and productivi­ty — and while our name has changed, our commitment to great design, attainabil­ity, craftsmans­hip and customer service has not,” says Scott Hamilton, Hopewell’s director of marketing and communicat­ions.

Following the name change, the builder’s board of director and staff will remain in place, says the company. However, its website will become hopewellre­sidential.com

“Going forward, our focus is to make it easy to build your first, next and forever new home in Calgary and Edmonton’s most sought-after communitie­s,” says Hamilton.

“We’re not your typical home builder and community developer. We look forward to showing Calgary, Airdrie and Edmonton home buyers how we’re different in the best possible way.”

Sabal currently builds in Copperfiel­d, Mahogany and Heron Pointe, along with Riversong in Cochrane.

The builder’s options include front-attached and rear-attached garage homes, laned homes, duplexes, townhomes and condos.
