Southwest ���Needless to say, we���re very pleased with how people are responding to the community��� Exceeding Expectations Cont���d from page 36 ���Bridgwater Forest and Lakes is still the fastest-growing residential development in the city,��� he adds. ���In 2012, builders took out 378 building permits, an eight per cent increase from 2011. That figure is impressive in the fact that our permit volume was 45 per cent higher than second place. ���Needless to say, we���re very pleased with how people are responding to the community. Now, our job is to continue that momentum.��� That momentum figures to continue as the focus shifts from Bridgwater Forest into Bridgwater Lakes due to the attention to detail that Manitoba Housing is investing in the design of the Lakes component of the development. As was the case in Bridgwater Forest, no detail will be overlooked and no memorable finishing touch left out. ���Lakes is a different parcel of land ��� there���s not as much forest there, so the focus will be on three naturalized lakes. Key features that will complement the lakes will be look-outs or mini-docks that will enable residents to walk out into the lakes and pedestrian bridges that will connect with pathways,��� Mr. Rewniak says. ���We will also be offering homes that back on to lanes, the first time we���ve done that since phase one of Bridgwater Forest. Like Bridgwater Forest, Lakes will be walkable, offer lots of green space and will have varied streetscapes due to the same stringent architectural guidelines.��� Hearth Homes��� Sales Manager Liam Milne says the drawing power of Bridgwater Forest and Bridgwater Lakes is derived from Manitoba Housing���s all-encompassing attention to detail. ���I think it���s the whole package ��� the thoughtful planning, well-placed details and innovative, creative home designs,��� he says. ���A great balance exists between the developers and builders. Both sides have worked together to create a community that���s exceptional. ���The lakes, trails and green space create a natural feel, and those features are rapidly maturing. At the same time, the developers have encouraged us to be creative. Manitoba Housing has gone the extra mile in their efforts to create a refreshing, interesting community.��� ���I truly believe that Bridgwater Lakes is going to grow by leaps and bounds in the spring due to the Kenaston extension and the greater accessibility it provides into the Lakes,��� adds Arlt Homes��� Jason Arlt. ���It���s a well-conceived, unique community that is going to offer everything people want: a central location, unique housing designs with a wide range of price points and a beautiful place to live with all the lakes, pathways, green space and striking streetscapes.��� 213,500 $ Phase 1 Sold Out.
