With over 100 new homes on display this fall, the MHBA’s showcase remains the largest and best Parade of Homes in Canada. This year’s Fall Parade of Homes is a bit later than usual to help our builder members manage the building-material supply issues we have all been faced with this year in order to better prepare their new Parade show homes — and be ready for the many guests who will be visiting during the Parade. The Fall Parade of Homes provides a unique and safe opportunity for visitors to learn about the latest trends in new home and interior design, the hottest new home technology and building materials, and to potentially find their new dream home. This year, we are proud to showcase 33 different builders in the Fall Parade, in 25 communities across Manitoba. Show homes featured during the Parade are open for your viewing pleasure under increased health and safety measures to ensure your visit is as safe as possible. Our builder members continue to adhere to Manitoba’s public health orders, and to social/physical distancing and sanitation guidelines to help protect those working in or visiting our builders’ show homes.

>> EACH SPRING AND FALL, the Parade of Homes gives Manitoba’s builders a chance to strut their stuff on a big stage. It’s a showcase to give potential buyers a sample of some of their best work. This fall, there’s been a slight delay. Builders chose to put new show homes on the back burner and push the Fall Parade back by one month, from September to October, so they could put their customers first. Cont’d on page 6

“The main reason was because the pandemic has created a lot of delays in production,” says Jason Jaquet, vice-president of Randall Homes and Avanti Custom Homes. “A lot of builders wanted to get the homes done for the customers and as a result we pushed back the Parade so we could focus on customers’ homes.” A LOT OF BUILDERS WANTED TO GET THE HOMES DONE FOR THE CUSTOMERS AND AS A RESULT WE PUSHED BACK THE PARADE SO WE COULD FOCUS ON CUSTOMERS’ HOMES. The good news? There’s still a great selection of fabulous new show homes on display, and it seems they’re everywhere you want to be — in Brandon and St. Adolphe, Stonewall and La Salle, every corner of Winnipeg and in doorstep communities. And as with the past three Parades, COVID-19 protocols will be in place to provide a safe environment for guests.

FRIENDLY NEIGHBOURHOOD AWAITS IN OAK BLUFF WEST

By Jennifer McFee

It’s easy to the see the appeal of Oak Bluff West, with its wide-open spaces located mere moments from city limits. Scott Dyck and his fiancée Leanne Taylor, who moved to the community in July 2020, are happy to call Oak Bluff West home. “All of our neighbours are really nice. This is our first home, so we’re really excited to be living in such a great neighbourhood to start,” says Dyck, who grew up in Oak Bluff. “It’s got more of a small-town vibe. It feels like you’re in the country, but you’re still close to the city.” Expressing similar sentiments, Taylor agrees the best part of the community is the people. “Everyone here is super friendly. They want to talk to you and want to help you. It’s been nice getting to know the neighbours,” she says. “I’m a para-triathlete, and one of the cool things for us about the area is I can do some of my training in the neighbourhood. I hand-cycle, so my bike is really unique. I feel like all the cars are really respectful. Everyone is always waving and kids always say, ‘Hi.’ It’s really cute.” The couple bought their house from Sterling Homes, and they were pleased with the process. “I’m a wheelchair user, so we made some changes to make it a bit more accessible,” Taylor says. “We had a good experience with the updates they made.”

Currently, Sterling Homes is featuring a show home at 12 Stone Hearth Lane that is designed with functionality, flow and style in mind. “A blend of modern farmhouse- inspired finishes and timeless favourites were combined perfectly, creating a warm and inviting home,” says Courtney Sims, marketing manager for Sterling Homes. IT’S GOT MORE OF A SMALL-TOWN VIBE. IT FEELS LIKE YOU’RE IN THE COUNTRY, BUT YOU’RE STILL CLOSE TO THE CITY. Oak Bluff West is a community that’s expertly designed to appeal to everyone throughout many life stages, Sims says. “It’s perfect, for example, for young families starting out, those looking to downsize or upsize, or wanting a bungalow for retirement. The large lots and rural setting give this community a very special feeling, setting it apart from many other communities,” she says. “Oak Bluff West is where families can truly plant roots and spend many happy years enjoying their home and

12 STONE HEARTH LANE

the community amenities like the beautiful walking trails.” Katie Doerksen, marketing and community relations manager for Qualico Communities, says Phase 4 will feature 23 custom lots on Thompson Court. After that, Phase 5 will include a range of lot sizes from 60 to 84 feet and feature the popular bungalow condos. It will also include a new wetland with a selection of the coveted park lots, which haven’t been available in the community for a number of years. Servicing of Phase 5 is planned for this fall, with lot availability expected by early 2022. Architectural standards in Oak Bluff West work towards the goal of having an attractive and appealing community, Doerksen adds. “I think it gives people a sense of comfort knowing that not only will their home be beautiful,” she says, “so will all their neighbours’ homes.” Oak Bluff West is an attractive option for families and individuals looking for more space, beautiful architecture and a friendly community.

MODEL OF SUSTAINABLE DESIGN THOUGHTFUL PLANS UNDERWAY FOR MASSIVE DEVELOPMENT

>> REDEVELOPING the former Kapyong Barracks site in south Winnipeg is an incredibly complex undertaking. But the vision for the 160-acre mixed-used project has been clear from the start. It began with a simple question.

By Pat St. Germain

10 Parade of Homes FALL 2021

THE VISION FOR THE 160-ACRE MIXED-USE PROJECT HAS BEEN CLEAR FROM THE START.

“How would we want our grandchildren to benefit from what’s on the site? That was the first question that came across to our team,” says David Thomas, planning and design manager for Treaty 1 Development Corp. Cont’d on page 12

Parade of Homes FALL 2021 11

A comprehensive, 130-page master plan outlines all aspects of the project — a mixed-use village with retail and commercial space, a variety of residential options, educational and cultural facilities, and a network of public trails and greenspaces. But that’s not the complete picture. Thomas envisioned, “a place that we could be proud of; a place where there was life and there was excitement and there was always something happening — and a place where you could go to just feel a sense of community.” Treaty 1 Development Corp. was created to manage 109 acres of the site, now known as Naawi-Oodena, on behalf of the seven Treaty 1 First Nations — Brokenhead Ojibway, Long Plain, Peguis, Roseau River Anishinaabe, Sagkeeng, Sandy Bay and Swan Lake. It’s collaborating with federal Crown corporation Canada Lands Company, which is responsible for 51 acres of residential development. Canada Lands has partnered with several First Nations on projects on former federal lands across the country, including a similar project to redevelop Calgary’s Currie Barracks.

PLANNING AND DESIGN TEAM INTERN JAIDEN ROBERTS. — Photo by Darcy Finley

When Treaty No. 1 was signed in 1871, each First Nation was owed a specified amount of land, but much of the debt was not paid. When the former Canadian Forces Base came up for sale, the Treaty 1 signatories filed suit, and the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the federal government had a “duty to consult” and accommodate them. As a result, the massive development is on its way to becoming Canada’s largest “urban Indigenous economic zone.” Naawi-Oodena is an Anishinaabe term that translates as centre of the heart and community. When it’s complete, the plan is to generate prosperity for generations to come, while promoting sustainability, sharing and celebrating First Nations culture, and providing an inclusive welcoming place. “We’re being very thoughtful about what we’re planning, what we’re doing,” Thomas says. “We’re doing a lot of research and study of similar projects, but we’re also looking at how First Nations can collaborate with non-First Nations and develop the project.” Sustainability will colour every aspect of the development. Thomas expects land along Taylor Avenue to represent the first stage of construction. At some point, the commercial area at Grant Avenue will extend to the east side of Kenaston Boulevard, with markets and walking paths. “It would be nice to have some nice patios and restaurants out there,” he says. “A place that our neighbours in Tuxedo can enjoy.”

An architect, Thomas has worked on several high-profile projects in Manitoba and elsewhere, including an installation at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights and as a participant in Canada’s 2018 Indigenous entry in the Venice Architecture Biennale. He and his daughter Cheyenne, who has a degree in environmental design, worked with other collaborators to create the Indigenous Peoples Garden at The Gardens at the Leaf in Assiniboine Park.

THE MASSIVE DEVELOPMENT IS ON ITS WAY TO BECOMING CANADA’S LARGEST URBAN INDIGENOUS ECONOMIC ZONE.

While Thomas grew up in Winnipeg, he says Peguis First Nation feels like home. It’s where his parents were raised, although they also went to residential school. “Most of us at Treaty 1 had family who were at residential school,” he says, adding the discovery this year of unmarked graves at a residential school in Kamloops, B.C., brought the Indigenous perspective into sharp focus for many Canadians. He’s looking forward to seeing how the future unfolds, especially for young people. “We have lots to offer, lots to contribute to the community that we haven’t done on this scale yet, and I think it’s good for everyone,” he says. “The work that we’re doing — that our people are doing, our designers and planners — it’s world-class work and I think that’s what people can look forward to.”

WE’RE AT WORK UNTIL YOU’RE AT HOME

NATURE AND BEAUTY IN TAYLOR FARM

By Jennifer McFee

Natural beauty abounds in Taylor Farm, where a calm country lifestyle intersects with nearby city convenience. This Headingley community is further enhanced by public artwork that enriches streetscapes and creates memorable landmarks, while also honouring the history of John Taylor — a local family man, teacher, farmer, merchant and politician who was a driving force in the area more than 100 years ago. The subdivision application for Phase 4 of the development is currently moving through the review and approval stages. Construction will be starting on the new wetlands this fall, with underground servicing happening over the winter and finishing up with roadwork next spring. Lots in Phase 4 will be made available for presale opportunities once the necessary approvals are in place and servicing is well underway. Mike Armstrong, operations manager for Qualico Communities, “It’s exciting because it not only brings 56 more single-family lots but also three more amenity stormwater retention basin ponds,” he says, “as well as another permanent connection to Portage Avenue between a future commercial parcel and Thunder Rapids.” expresses enthusiasm for the upcoming fourth phase of the development.

The lots in Phase 4 will range in width from 70 to 94 feet, including both park and lake walkout properties. Currently, river lots on Curry Drive are still available. THE COMMUNITY IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL, WITH THEIR EXPANSIVE LOTS, INCLUDING SOME WITH RIVER ACCESS. For those interested in getting a first-hand glimpse, Taylor Farm features a must-see selection of show homes available for viewing. Colleen Chaput, marketing manager for Foxridge Homes, welcomes everyone to view their new show home at 82 Fetterly Way — their very first one on display in Taylor Farm. “It will be the ideal family home, with plenty of space at 2,464 square feet with a walkout basement to take advantage of the lake view,” Chaput says.

82 FETTERLY WAY

“It’s really a gorgeous open- concept home design with beautiful finishes. The trades and suppliers that we use really are the best in the business — and it shows.” Foxridge Homes has incorporated features specifically for Taylor Farm to achieve the architectural guidelines and take advantage of the large lot sizes. “The minimum house width is 50 feet so we were able to choose one of our larger home concepts, the Palisade, for this lot. Because of the large lot width, we were able to easily add a 34-foot triple-car garage,” Chaput says. “Earthy and pastel tones are encouraged to add richness to the streetscape, so we were able to add a rich colour palette to this home.” Foxridge Homes is excited to be one of the exclusive builders introducing its home concepts in Taylor Farm, Chaput adds. “The community is absolutely beautiful, with their expansive lots, including some with river access,” she says. “And only minutes from the city — restaurants, garden centres and stores, it really has the perfect mix of country living and city convenience.”

“We don’t know what’s going to happen having the Parade a month later, but the association and the builders who are participating in the Parade have gone through the pandemic,” says Jaquet, who serves on the Manitoba Home Builders’ Association (MHBA) board of directors, and is chair of the Parade of Homes committee.

WE KNOW WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO MAKE IT SAFE AND STILL HAVE

EVERYTHING OPENED UP.

“We know what we need to do to make it safe and still have everything opened up.” MHBA president and CEO Lanny McInnes says the success of recent Parades demonstrates the public’s trust in member builders. And he says there’s a silver lining of sorts. Since the number of people allowed in a show home at one time is limited, builders have made adjustments, some of which work so well, they may become permanent Parade fixtures. For example, some show homes have staging areas with brochures and displays set up in garages to give guests a

preview of what’s inside. Or there might be two sales representatives on the site, so visitors can ask questions before or after touring a home. More than 30 builders are participating in the Parade and each one is unique. Jaquet says there’s signage at Randall and Avanti show homes to explain procedures — some of which will continue after the pandemic ends. Show homes are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected each week, and after clients take possession of a new Randall or Avanti home and complete their orientation, the house is sanitized from top to bottom.

“We lock the door and it’s starting from ground zero for the customer. The cleanliness and sanitizing have been brought up to a different level, so now it’s becoming the norm in our show homes. It’s all these little things that have a cost related to them, however we see the benefit to our customers of it and we think it’s important to still do.” Randall Homes’ headquarters gets the same treatment so clients feel comfortable when they come by. Business has been steady, as demand for single-family homes has grown during the pandemic. Builders across the board have contended with pandemic-related material shortages, supply-chain holdups and safety issues that all add time to construction schedules. But they still aim to please with brand-new designs that cater to homeowners’ evolving needs. “We want to give the consumer something to look at that’s different, but still all the trends that they want,” Jaquet says. “We’re finding that people want certain things in their new homes. A lot of them are looking for that main-floor bedroom, just in case they have people coming and staying with them for extended periods of time.”

WE WANT TO GIVE THE CONSUMER SOMETHING TO LOOK AT THAT’S DIFFERENT.

LADCO COMPANY LTD.

Naturally Appealing Planned communities deliver diversity indoors and outdoors

By Wendy King If you’re seeking a prime location to put down roots in Winnipeg, let Ladco “pointe” you in the right direction. After more than a century of service, the company continues to set the standard for quality developments, including the master-planned communities of Prairie Pointe and Highland Pointe. Ladco Development coordinator Sean Gallagher says Prairie Pointe is rolling along in south Winnipeg, with 11 new show homes, nine on Ken Oblik Drive and two on Ken Wong Bay. Directly opposite South Pointe off Kenaston Boulevard, Prairie Pointe offers a diverse range of housing styles and natural amenities. Currently, 120 new single-family lots are available in Stage 5, and Ladco expects to add about 80 duplex lots adjacent to Stage 5 next year. The well-established 630-acre community has a fully developed five- acre park complete with an open field, play structure for all ages, picnic shelter and fire pit, with natural landscaping near the entryways. “We have this rolling tallgrass prairie that we’ve built. It just finished naturalizing this year,” Gallagher says. “We are also currently extending our

path network by adding on 3/4 of a kilometre. The path is three metres wide, which is the city standard for active and passive transportation.” Once the path is completed, residents will be able to walk from neighbouring developments to Skyline Drive and Waverley Street. COME DOWN TO THE PARADE OF HOMES IN OCTOBER AND SEE THE NEW SHOW HOMES. I DARE YOU TO FIND ONE YOU DON’T LIKE. A wetland-inspired land drainage system with interconnecting ponds adds greater natural appeal. Networks throughout Prairie Pointe and South Pointe join up with Beaujolais Coulee, a natural drainage channel and fish habitat that flows into the Red River and feeds into Lake Winnipeg. Native plants help to scrub the water before it enters the lake system and the ponds themselves can provide flood mitigation if needed. Ladco is also putting its thoughtful design process to work across town

at Highland Pointe, located in north Winnipeg, with access off McPhillips Street south of the Perimeter. “Stage 1 of Highland Pointe is nearly completed and will include a range of different lots to suit all types of home buyers,” says Gallagher. It’s close to a major shopping area, Seven Oaks General Hospital and a growing number of services, and the community’s first park will take shape in 2022, complete with a stretch of pathway along a large, naturalized pond. ”Plans include a playground and a picnic shelter, as well as ample seating at picnic tables and benches, and there will be wheelchair accessibility.” Show homes will open in Highland Pointe next summer. In Prairie Pointe, Winnipeg’s top builders are ready to welcome visitors now. New show homes feature designs that blend traditional and contemporary styles with the best in modern materials, combining high efficiency and esthetic appeal. ”Come down to the Parade of Homes in October and see the new show homes. I dare you to find one you don’t like,” Gallagher says. “Stay tuned to Ladco.mb.ca for updates on all our developments.” POH

Buyers also want a flex room that can be used as a home office, a lounge area or an extra bedroom. And beautiful spaces that are also functional never go out of style. Jaquet notes that a unique Avanti show home at 14 Stone Hearth Lane in Oak Bluff West ticks all the boxes, and a few more, with a covered outdoor living space accessible off the private owner’s suite and the over-sized dining area. “We really focused on all the elements that a famlly needs in a house that you don’t typically see in a bungalow. Bigger mudroom, separate laundry room, a half bathroom on the main floor with a full bathroom for the kids’ bedrooms.”

During the Parade of Homes, there are more must- see show homes than you can shake a stick at, and hours are extended to accommodate more visitors. However, you can make an appointment to tour a show home outside of Parade hours, and remember, show homes are open year-round. POH

GENSTAR UNVEILS NEW SHOW HOMES IN TRANSCONA’S FRESHEST, MOST WELCOMING COMMUNITY, SUMMERLEA

For over 70 years across North America, Winnipeg-based developer Genstar has built a reputation for creating communities with innovative amenities, lasting value, and outstanding community pride. More recently, the company unveiled plans for its newest community, Summerlea, located right back where it all began for Genstar in 1950: Transcona. AND NOW, IMAGINING WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO LIVE IN SUMMERLEA IS EASY. JUST IN TIME FOR THE FALL PARADE OF HOMES, SUMMERLEA BUILDERS HAVE FIVE BEAUTIFUL SHOW HOMES READY TO BE TOURED IN THIS NEW AND VIBRANT COMMUNITY. Inspired by the layout of Winnipeg’s historic neighbourhoods, Summerlea was designed with a traditional grid street system and central greenspace. This was intentionally done to foster the development of a close-knit community that celebrates diversity. Genstar’s vision for Summerlea is to

create a community that emphasizes connecting with friendly neighbours, while providing an affordable and appealing environment for people of all ages and life stages. This people-first focus can be seen in neighbourhood features like the extensive pedestrian network, which links to the central greenspace to make it easy for residents to meet, keep active, and connect to the natural environment. The architectural character of the neighbourhood draws from the theme of early prairie settlements, with homes that blend the traditional forms and features of the classic Farmhouse style with progressive materials and contemporary details. This serves to create a one-of-a-kind aesthetic that is perfectly suited to a modern, yet relaxed lifestyle. Additionally, Summerlea offers a wide range of home sizes, styles and custom options within this general framework. The diversity of home types is designed to appeal to a wide range of homeowners — which makes Summerlea the perfect choice for first-time home buyers, families, and people looking to settle into their forever-community, all for an affordable price.

NEARLY 20 ACRES OF LAND WITHIN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD WILL BE SET ASIDE FOR GREENSPACES, INCLUDING NATURALIZED PONDS. IN ADDITION TO THE WALKWAYS THAT CONNECT TO THE CENTRAL GREENSPACE, THERE WILL BE OTHER PAVED PATHWAYS FOR WALKING OR BIKING THAT FACILITATES EASY ACCESS TO SURROUNDING PARKS AND TRAILS. to live the life they’ve longed for, a community where the look and feel of each street is as diverse as the people who live there. The overall goal for Summerlea is to redefine the modern conventions of community and livability. Nearly 20 acres of land within the neighbourhood will be set aside for greenspaces, including naturalized ponds. In addition to the walkways that connect to the central greenspace, there will be other Summerlea residents will also enjoy the close proximity to a neighbourhood commercial site, and a larger commercial development at Transcona Square. And for Summerlea families, there’s plenty of local education and child-care options as well. A sense of belonging is fundamental to our sense of happiness and well-being — and that’s exactly what Summerlea offers. A place where cars, unknown neighbours, and fences are replaced with "hellos" and a connected, diverse, and lively community of people. This new neighbourhood provides home buyers the opportunity paved pathways for walking or biking that facilitate easy access to surrounding parks and trails. POH

THE NEW NEIGHBOURHOOD OF PARKVIEW POINTE IS SHOW-HOME CENTRAL, AND NEARBY RIVER SPRINGS GROVE ISN’T TOO FAR BEHIND.

The community of 6,600 straddling Winnipeg’s north Perimeter is booming with residential and commercial development. During the Fall Parade of Homes, the new neighbourhood of Parkview Pointe is show-home central, and nearby River Springs Grove isn’t too far behind. Cont’d on page 34 Parade of Homes FALL 2021 33

“I believe that we will be the fastest-growing community in the province by the next census,” Olynyk says, adding the number of building permits issued in 2021 is quadruple the number issued at this time last year. It may look like an overnight sensation, but conceptual plans for West St. Paul’s growth have been in place for many decades, and concrete preparation to facilitate it has been underway for at least 10 years. Future development isn’t being left to chance, either. The RM’s extensive strategic plan calls for controlled growth, with a designated town centre and commercial areas, along with diverse housing options that will eventually accommodate a population of about 12,000. Mayor Cheryl Christian notes that West St. Paul has 11 parks and 17 kilometres of walking and biking trails now, and it will have 20 parks and more pathways within three to five years. “Residents want to maintain that rural feel and be able to have those parks and greenspaces, so that’s been a real priority for us,” she says.

Unofficial word is a big-box store will open a location within the RM in the near future. There’s already a funky little general store area in the Yetman’s sports shop, deli goods and a butcher at Frigs Natural Meats, an ice-cream shop and several other businesses. Christian says there’s a domino effect as residential growth sparks new commercial development, which means more jobs close to home and more infrastructure development. She notes that the province has directed more funding the RM’s way, with upgrades to Highway 9, a new pedestrian bridge and traffic lights. The RM is in the Seven Oaks School Division. It has an elementary school and Olynyk expects to see at least one new public school over the next few years. The Dasmesh School Kindergarten- Grade 10 English-Sikh faith-based school opened this September and Gateway Church King’s School has plans to open a school in the future. Olynyk says there are 10 outdoor skating rinks and excellent recreational programs, indoors at Sunova Centre and outdoors on soccer and baseball fields. “The baseball diamonds I’ve been told are the best in the province,” he says, adding the RM has an agreement with Tennis Canada and Tennis Manitoba to open eight outdoor courts and, eventually, an indoor tennis facility at no cost to the RM.

Multiple builders are participating in the Parade of Homes in West St. Paul. Show homes that are currently open include luxury bungalows and two-storey family homes, along with a handful of duplexes. Christian says the variety of housing options makes it easier for families to grow up, and grow old, in the RM. “We have that starter home or something to downsize to. If people want to live on a larger rural lot we have plenty of open space and larger acreages for people to choose from. If they’re wanting to be in a side-by- side bungalow that’s accessible … there’s something in West St. Paul for everyone,” she says. “We pride ourselves on being a diverse, inclusive and welcoming community and I believe that’s what is attracting so many young families to West St. Paul. We have a very young population compared to some of our neighbouring municipalities. People see this as a rural community, but close to all the amenities of Winnipeg as well.” THERE ARE 10 OUTDOOR SKATING RINKS AND EXCELLENT RECREATIONAL PROGRAMS, INDOORS AT SUNOVA CENTRE AND OUTDOORS ON SOCCER AND BASEBALL FIELDS.
