Neighbourhood Hub Cont'd from page 135 The community will contain 219 singlefamily homes, 106 townhomes and nine acres of multi-family condominium apartment buildings and rental apartments. "Waterford Green will represent a new standard of community planning that emphasizes quality living, connectivity, and that incorporates park and street esthetics into the design," he says. "There will be a wide variety of housing that will be seamlessly connected to parks, greenspace and shopping, as well as schools and adjoining neighbourhoods. It will be a neighbourhood that provides interconnected places to live, play and shop." The first phase – installation of municipal services — is expected to be completed by Oct. 30. Housing construction started in late summer, and the first home occupancies are projected for spring 2014. The community will contain 219 single-family homes, 106 townhomes and nine acres of multi-family condominium apartment buildings and rental apartments. Grewal says apartment-style condominiums will start at about $160,000, and townhome condominiums will start at around the $270,000 mark. He says the community will also reintroduce back-lane lots to the area, an option that hasn't been seen for some time. "They're going to add two things to the community – a different look and affordability," he says. Gino's Homes sales representative Cam Ftoma, of RE/MAX Performance Realty, says back-lane lots will be a drawing card for first-time buyers. "That affordability is going to bring people into the marketplace who may not have been able to afford to build new previously." Mahe says there will be something for everyone, and that fits with the primary goal for Waterford Green — to create a livable community with broad consumer appeal. "I think its design and architectural styles will really appeal to everyone, as well as its pedestrian-friendly environment and all the amenities that will come on line as things progress," he says. "It's going to be a wonderful place to call home."
