Now entering its second year of de- velopment, Bridgewood appears poised to pull off a similar success rate, drawing steady interest from first-time homeowners, parents look- ing for increased floor space, and extended families with multiple gen- erations living under one roof. Ms. Thordarson says more than 200 lots are available. They run from 35 feet for those with back lane access – which allows buyers to keep costs down by deferring work on their garages until later – and between 40 and 50 feet for the standard and larger pie-shaped parcels. Realtor Jason Cianflone’s team has paired with A&S Homes, one of six builders picked for the project, along with Trikor Builders, Bentley Homes, Odyssey Homes, Gino’s Homes and Ventura Custom Homes. “The location is key,” Mr. Cianflone says. “You’re far enough away from Lagimodiere that you don’t hear all the traffic, but you’re close enough to it that you get all the benefits. It’s close for people who work at Con- cordia Hospital and close to Kildonan Place and the hundreds of shops that are around there. In the summertime, to get out to the lake or to Gimli, it’s just a hop, skip and a jump, and even to get to downtown from there is about 12 minutes.” As Ms. Thordarson notes, the area is rife with retail options, in particular nearby Regent Avenue, where you can shop at Costco and other big box stores, while the proximity to Chief Peguis Trail enables residents to eas- ily traverse the city. A proposed new park, a large por- tion of which will be left in its natural state, will take up five acres directly off Concordia East. It will be comple- mented by junior and senior play- grounds and walkways connecting to other neighbourhoods in the area. Mr. Cianflone says A&S Homes’ hous- es in Bridgewood are priced from $300,000 to $700,000, with bunga- lows ranging from 1,250 to 1,500 square feet, and two-storeys from 1,600 to 2,000-plus.
