SETON EXPANDS OFFERINGS
Single-family homes launched
One of Calgary’s largest mix-used developments is now offering options for people who are in the market for a single-family or semidetached home.
Pre-construction sales are available for laned single-family homes from Trico Homes and Brookfield Residential in Seton, which is located near the community of Auburn Bay in southeast Calgary. Brookfield is selling semidetached homes here, as well.
Seton first became a landing spot for homebuyers in late 2016, when Cedarglen Living launched its apartment-style condo development Seton Park Place.
Cedarglen Living has since opened sales on Seton Park Place II, and Rohit Communities and Avalon Master Builder have joined with multi-family developments dubbed Stile Seton and Zen Urban District, respectively. Stile has both townhomes and condos and Zen is strictly townhomes.
“Single-family homes coming to Seton is bringing Brookfield Residential that much closer to the fully realized community that we have worked towards,” says Tannis Anstey, Brookfield’s marketing manager.
POSITIVE RESPONSE
“Brookfield Residential recently began selling single-family homes, and the response has been very positive,” she adds. “Some have been waiting eagerly, many come in saying they were coming out of Superstore and looked over to see we are selling homes and are so excited.
“We’ve had first-time homebuyers, some who are looking to move from their existing home into a new home, as well as right-sizers,” she adds.
Trico has three floor plans, ranging from 1,535 to 1,730 square feet and Brookfield has three floor plans, ranging from about 1,530 to 1,790squarefeet. Both builders are selling from the high $300,000s.
For its semi-detached options, Brookfield has four floor plans, ranging from about 1,370 to 1,700 square feet. These are from the $350,000s.
And Seton’s builder group will soon be even bigger.

Trico will also be bringing a townhome development to Seton, while Jayman introduces a fee-simple street town development, which will not have condo fees.
