Comack says the flexible design is perfect
for multi-generational families because it
allows a main-floor den to be converted
into a bedroom for elderly parents while the
upstairs loft can be reconfigured into an ad-
ditional bedroom for a child. The additional
main-floor bedroom is located near both a
washroom and the laundry room area.
One example of this design is the compa-
ny's show home at 11 Wainwright Cres. in
River Park South, which is an entry in the
Spring Parade of Homes.
"It's a very versa-
tile design … and
that's what makes
it unique," Comack
says.
"It's something
people were ac-
tively looking for.
We saw an oppor-
tunity and tried
to fill that need. If
you can create something that meets the
needs of the majority of people you have a
winner. And the more people that get ex-
cited about a house you built the better the
chance you have of selling more of them."
Comack says another plus with the multi-generational
design is that it can be easily adapted to meet a family's
changing needs — such as the birth of another child or
a change in the health of the owners — without requir-
ing extensive renovations.
"With this style of house this can be your forever house,"
he says.
Anders Frederiksen, a sales agent for Ventura, says the
multi-generational design has been extremely popular
with customers, and a substantial number of them have
already been sold in River Park South and elsewhere.
"The feedback has been exceptional. It really fits the bill
for a number of people," he says.
