- JOSH SKAPIN

Homes by Avi is giving potential buyers of attached homes a fullscale look at what it can offer, with unveilings at three developmen­ts today.

The builder will launch new show homes for its Swift Creek Villas developmen­t, just west of city limits, and its Street Towns in the northwest Calgary community of Carrington, which is master-planned by Genstar Developmen­t Co.

Also in Carrington, Homes by Avi’s multi-family arm, Avi Urban, is opening show homes for its Carrington Urban Terraces.

“We are so excited that our Carrington show homes are now open, giving us the opportunit­y to best illustrate the extraordin­ary level of innovation behind this product line,” Charron Ungar, CEO of Homes by Avi Group of Companies. “The Carrington Urban Terraces include all the benefits of single-family living, with the affordabil­ity of a multi-family home.”

“The experience we gained by introducin­g fee-simple street town homes to the Calgary market over five years ago has helped us achieve a level of sophistica­tion, quality and state-of-the-art design unmatched in the housing industry,” he adds.

Both Homes by Avi’s Street Towns and Avi Urban’s Urban Terraces are fee-simple townhomes, which means, in addition to the home’s interior, the buyer owns and is responsibl­e for the exterior of the unit and the land it sits on. As a result, there isn’t a condo board or condo fees.

The Carrington Urban Terraces start from the $290,000s, before tax. This developmen­t, planned for 72 units across 12 buildings, has floor plans ranging from 1,150 to 1,392 square feet, with garage developmen­t optional.

Its show homes, located at Carringvue Drive N.W., are the Indigo and Slate. The Indigo is 1,292 square feet with full basement developmen­t, and the Slate is 1,237 square feet with partial basement developmen­t. They each have three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms.

Homes by Avi, which also has Street Towns developmen­ts in the communitie­s of Livingston and Belmont, is selling in Carrington from the $350,000s, including GST.

They have a double-car garage and range from 1,192 to 1,458 square feet. At this developmen­t, the show homes depict the 1,374-square-foot Bruno and 1,444-square-foot Benedict.

These floor plans are also available in Carrington in a duplex format.

For high-end, single-level options, Homes by Avi has the Swift Creek Villas, which are located across the street from the Elbow Springs Golf Club. This developmen­t will build out to 50 villas, including some on walkout lots. Its floor plans range from 2,487 to 2,801 square feet, have a double attached garage, and start from $762,000, before tax. Its show homes are the Tamarack and Cascade, which are 2,836 and 2,822 square feet, including the basement, respective­ly. The Carrington Urban Terraces show homes are located at 326 Carringvue Drive N.W., Homes by Avi’s Street Towns are at 326 Carringvue Way N.W., and the Swift Creek Villas’ show homes are at 3 Clear Creek Place, which is at the corner of Lott Creek Drive.

The Carrington Urban Terraces include all the benefits of single-family living, with the affordabil­ity of a multi-family home.
