Midtown introduces six new single-family show homes
House hunters seeking a frontdrive single-family home have six new reasons for visiting a community in the heart of Airdrie’s west end.
Midtown, easily accessed from 8th Street S.W., marks the launch of a new phase with the unveiling of two show homes each by Excel Homes, Trico Homes, and Shane Homes. The show homes are all located on Midtown Drive S.W.
An event to celebrate the release, including family-friendly activities and food trucks, will run from noon to 4 p.m.
Trico’s show homes are the 2,251-square-foot Fairmont and the 2,073-square-foot Bentley, Excel’s are the 1,826 square-foot Halton and 2,228-square-foot Baldwin, and Shane’s are the 2,515-square-foot Tofino and 1,994-square-foot Fiesta II.
Front-drive single-family homes in the community start from the $420,000s, including lot and GST.
“The builder group has done a great job of showcasing their strengths as builders, from outside finishings to layout and design of the homes,” says Brenden Montgomery, general manager of land development for Shane Communities, which developed Midtown in partnership with Apex Developments.
At build out, Midtown will have about 600 lots.
The new show home parade is part of a stretch of Midtown the developer calls Phase 4, which includes lots that back onto a central pond and others that back onto a creek that runs the length of the southern portion of the community. This phase is also the debut of Excel and Trico selling front-drive single-family homes in Midtown. Shane’s involvement in this segment started earlier in the community’s development.
“Phase 4 also provides both a pedestrian and vehicular connection to Luxstone, expanding the reach of local parks and amenities within and surrounding Midtown,” Montgomery says.
Luxstone is an established Airdrie community located nearby.
A new community park will also be constructed later in the development of Phase 4, adds Montgomery.
“The community is really starting to fill in, especially with the addition of the pond-backing lots,” Montgomery says. “Overall, the attractiveness of the community is the location and amenities provided at the onset of the project. The majority of the lands surrounding Midtown were developed, providing residents with existing amenities and infrastructure.
“Unlike most new communities, there were commercial and retail options within walking distance from Day 1,” he adds.
Having community features in place for early residents was key.
“Building the portions of the parks, plaza, and pathway up front, provided initial open space for residents and started to cultivate the feeling of what Midtown would become once fully built out,” says Montgomery.
