>> one of winnipeg's most sought-after and fastest-growing communities, Amber Trails offers its residents a unique opportu- nity to live in an established, affordable and family-friendly community in northwest Win- nipeg. When complete, the 400-acre develop- ment will be home to 1,900 residences with access to nature and recreational trails in a quiet, peaceful atmosphere. Developed by Genstar, a company with a 60-year legacy of creating some of the most desirable and innovative residential commu- nities in Canada, Amber Trails is designed to bring affordable luxury and lasting value to a wide range of demographics and lifestyles in a carefully planned and developed neigh- bourhood. "Young families, maturing families, empty nesters — everyone can see themselves liv- ing in Amber Trails," says Marc Brown, Devel- opment Manager at Genstar. The community is connected by an extensive pathway system running through 30 acres of parkland, three stunning lakes, green space and recreational areas. "The linear trail system is an example of the lasting legacy Genstar cre- ates in our communities — it's our trademark and it has proven itself as a popular and valued amenity in the community," Brown says. Located in close proximity to the Leila Avenue and McPhillips Street commercial district, Amber Trails residents can take advantage of convenient access to local retail outlets, entertainment venues, grocery stores and restaurants. Other essential and valued ame- nities such as the Seven Oaks General Hospi- tal are also nearby and easily accessible. The growing neighbourhood will soon see the much anticipated opening of a new Kinder- garten to Grade 8 school and day care. The modern, environmentally friendly facility will be located on a 10-acre site which has been thoughtfully planned to complement existing neighbourhood amenities. "The time is now as the neighbourhood has reached a critical mass," says Brown, noting that the final phase of the development will be available for new home construction in 2014. "Amber Trails is unique to northwest Winnipeg in that it features new home con- struction in an established community with existing value and developed neighbour- hood amenities." What also makes Amber Trails attractive are the distinctive, high-quality homes from re- nowned home builders like Randall Homes, Qualico, Gino's Homes, Ventura Homes, A&S Homes, Silverton Homes and Kensington Homes. Each of these companies brings func- tion, innovation and character to their supe- rior designs. "These home builders bring qual- ity construction and inspiring designs to the community with unique, quality homes to fit every lifestyle," Brown says. "Whether you're a young family looking for a place to raise your kids or an established family ready to relax and enjoy life, this diverse community has ev- erything you need to feel at home."
