A PARK IS A PLACE EVERYBODY CAN CALL HOME.
Beyond great houses, innovative layouts and friendly
streetscapes, one of the more important things Mattamy
Homes aims to build is a sense of community. This is why
building great playgrounds and open spaces is always near
the top of our to-do list.
The newly completed Osborne Park is one of those special
places that defines Mattamys dedication to our communities.
With features that allow its use year-round like a toboggan
hill and a puddle rink Osborne Park was designed to draw
the community together.
We named this place as a tribute to the Osborne family,
the original residents of the land upon which Southwinds
was built. Pillars of the early Airdrie community, the
Osbornes exemplified a spirit of generosity and a respect
for local history that still influences the region today. Come
visit us at Osborne Park in Southwinds. We hope that youll
take a moment to learn about the areas rich past and
experience what the community stands for today.

Targeted for your benefi t
Alberta proves its resilience
Before we launched our new look and
website, YPNextHome.ca, we brought
a formal focus group of Canadians
together to ask about real estate. We
specifi cally questioned what factors
in someones life would make them
want to move. One of the top three
reasons was the desire to live in a
di erent neighbourhood.
Respondents said they wanted access
to better schools and amenities such as
transit, shopping, greenspace and parks.
With so many areas for you to
choose from, we created a Canada-
wide resource of neighbourhood
information and listings on a local
level. On YPNextHome.ca, youll fi nd
statistical information on more than
2,700 neighbourhoods, featuring
data, listings, fun facts and more.
Weve included a ton of interesting
info on key residential neighbourhoods,
including photos and video tours.
Check out Kingsland, for example.
We hope youll explore a few of the
neighbourhoods weve curated for
you on our new website. Drop us a
line and a photo about what you love
about your favourite neighbourhood.
Wed love to hear from you!
For all the challenges the Alberta
economy is facing in the wake of
the oil slump, real estate markets
in Calgary and Edmonton are
outshining their prairie neighbours
Regina and Saskatchewan.
According to the latest Royal
LePage House Price Survey, home
prices in Canada showed moderate
to strong year-over-year increases in
most markets in the third quarter.
The Calgary housing market
continued to weather the energy
downturn due to a diversifying
economy, with the aggregate price
of a home rising 0.8 per cent to
$465,374. The median price of a
two-storey home increased one
per cent on a year-over-year basis
to $522,052, while bungalows
saw a small drop of 0.4 per cent
to $451,937.

Mattamy honours
Southwinds homesteading family
MATTAMY HOMES pays homage to the
historic local roots of its Southwinds
community in Airdrie with the dedication
of a large central park honouring the
lands homesteading family.
Osborne Park is at the heart of
Southwinds and named after the original
family that had been there since the early
1940s, says Joe Case, land development
manager. The family has played an
important role in the development of
Airdrie and in the areas history being
members of the Nose Creek Historical
Society and Nose Creek
Valley Museum.
The family still lives in the area, so we
wanted to ensure we built a relationship
with them in the process of developing
Southwinds, Case says. A monument in
Osborne Park has a plaque dedicated to
the family with an aerial photo shot in 1942
of the homestead that is still there today.
We also have a number of
Osborne street names throughout the
community, he adds. This was done
with the Osbornes blessing, as they
had been involved in the planning and
visioning process for the community.
The most prominent street name
will be Osborne Drive, which runs
east/west through the community
next to the original homestead and
connects to land on the west side of
Southwinds, which was also owned by
the Osbornes. Another significant street
name is Osborne Park, immediately
adjacent to the park which was
dedicated to the family in late October.
Being located in the centre of the
community, Osborne Park is a central
meeting place for all residents. During
the planning process, we intentionally
designed the community around the
park with no residences backing onto
LocationAirdrie

it, making it truly a public space in its
purest sense as theres no proprietary
feel to it. You can enjoy every inch
of the park without looking into
someones backyard, Case says.
The almost three-acre park has a
central plaza with seating areas, picnic
area and a large trellis, as well as a large
playground structure, a toboggan hill
and a puddle rink with lights that can be
flooded in the winter for a skating.
Also setting Mattamy communities
apart from others is that it develops
a community one street at a time
so that when people move in all the
homes on the street are complete, and
amenities are created alongside home
construction (weather permitting).
Another key amenity already
developed is a storm water pond that
was integrated with an environmental
reserve in one of the first phases. We
went through a detailed process of
harvesting 10,000 cuttings from the
existing wetland, letting them grow
in a nursery and segregating the
unique wetland soils, Case explains.
After grading we put the soil back
and replanted the cuttings. Its since
grown into a virtual forest providing
a protected environmental reserve
for residents to enjoy. Its an absolute
success and a model Airdrie will use for
future storm water ponds.
Located on a 150 acres, Southwinds
will eventually consist of 1,150 homes.
A few hundred homes are already
occupied in the first few phases.
Mattamy is currently selling single- and
multi-family homes in Phases 3 and
6. In November, Mattamy is releasing
walkout lots that back onto the
environmental reserve.
Buyers in Southwinds have a wide
range of homes styles to choose from,
from Urban Townhomes featuring
rear-attached double garages, to three-
storey Village Homes with single-car
front-attached garages, and starter and
move-up single-family homes with
double front-attached garages.
Homes in Southwinds showcase
Contemporary, Craftsman, Colonial
and Prairie architectural styles, which
combined with ample trees, inviting
front porches and discreet garages
integrated into the home create visually
appealing streetscapes.
To learn more about Southwinds,

Thursday, 1 to 8 p.m., and Friday

5 things to consider when buying a new home

Advice | CALGARYISM
By Cody Battershill
IF YOURE IN THE MARKET for a new home in Calgary,
chances are that you have a list of features you want
included some must-haves, and a few that youre
probably more fl exible on before signing on the
dotted line.
Here are some key features that you should always
consider and evaluate for yourself when viewing new
properties as they can drastically a ect your living
experience and resale value down the road.
#1 Interior layoutCalgarys new home builders have such a wide variety of
builds and fl oorplans available these days that you really
dont have to settle for a layout that is nearly perfect
except for that one part that you just cant get over.
It could be that the master bedroom is too small,
its bathroom too thin or perhaps the kitchen doesnt
have that ideal set up you want. Whatever it is, know
that you will likely fi nd another fl oorplan or di erent
builder all together that has these things you desire
so shop around!
#2 Windows and natural lightingUsually, the more windows a new home has the
better, not only for natural lighting, but also the open
feel they create when well-placed and are the right
size. Windows should also be positioned and sized
accordingly to give you a decent amount of privacy
from outside eyes.
Natural lighting is a huge factor when it comes to
getting the most out of your living space and enjoying it to
the fullest. A lack of natural light can be a problem in the
future when reselling and can also put a damper on how
you feel about being in a particular space.
#3 House orientationThe way a house is positioned on its lot can greatly a ect
the amount of natural light it receives during daytime, as
well as infl uence your cooling and heating bills.
A new home facing east will have a bright and warm
morning and evening, with natural light entering the home
during these hours. On the other hand, a north facing
home might not get as much sunlight and make for a
cooler living space during those hot summer days.
#4 Proximity to neighboursTypically, theres a drastic di erence in the space between
two new inner city infi lls compared to two suburban
homes, and this can a ect how private the space feels.
If privacy is a huge factor for you when buying a new
home, consider checking the views from each of the
windows inside and out, and do a perimeter walk around
the property to gauge if you are comfortable with it all.
#5 LocationLast but not least, location is probably one of the most
important factors when buying a new home in Calgary.
For example, buying in a new community with a proposed
elementary school on its way is a great opportunity for
couples planning to be parents, although if it were across
the city from work, there might cause more headache
than benefi t.
It basically comes down to what youre comfortable
with and what area of the city is best for your wants,
needs and lifestyle. Taking the time to fi nd the right
location is a must when searching for that perfect new
home fi t in Calgary.
Wishing you only the best on your new home search
in Calgary!

during these hours. On the other hand, a north facing
home might not get as much sunlight and make for a
cooler living space during those hot summer days.
#4 Proximity to neighboursTypically, theres a drastic di erence in the space between
two new inner city infi lls compared to two suburban
homes, and this can a ect how private the space feels.
If privacy is a huge factor for you when buying a new
home, consider checking the views from each of the
windows inside and out, and do a perimeter walk around
the property to gauge if you are comfortable with it all.
#5 LocationLast but not least, location is probably one of the most
important factors when buying a new home in Calgary.
For example, buying in a new community with a proposed
elementary school on its way is a great opportunity for
couples planning to be parents, although if it were across
the city from work, there might cause more headache
than benefi t.
It basically comes down to what youre comfortable
with and what area of the city is best for your wants,
needs and lifestyle. Taking the time to fi nd the right
location is a must when searching for that perfect new
home fi t in Calgary.
Wishing you only the best on your new home search
in Calgary!

Showhome Review | CREATIONS BY SHANE HOMES
Shane Homes presents a variety of fabulous home styles in Hillcrest
WITH A VARIETY of fabulous home
styles for first-time to move-up
buyers, Shane Homes and Creations
by Shane Homes have something
to please almost everyone in
Hillcrest in Airdrie.
Were really excited to be able
to offer laned homes by Creations
by Shane Homes for the first time
in Hillcrest, says area manager Jeff
Brodowski. We have six lots available,
with more lots available next year.
Were also building showhomes that
will be opening in the spring.
These laned homes start at
1,368 sq. ft. and go to more than 2,000
sq. ft., with most being two-storey
designs, but a couple of plans are three-
storeys with a loft on the top floor.
We have dual owners-bedroom and
three-bedroom plans all with upstairs
laundry and a concrete garage pad with
back laned access, Brodowski says.
All the homes come with our high
standards tile and laminate flooring
as per plan, granite countertops and six
appliances, and most plans have full-
width front verandas.
There are several models and
optional layouts available, providing
features such as deluxe ensuites,
fireplaces or a second living space on
the main floor. Prices for the laned
homes start in the $390,000s, which
is suitable for first-time buyers.
Creations by Shane Homes has
just launched its second street town
project, Urbana in Hillcrest is geared
toward first-time buyers, but its also
attracting down-sizers
and empty-nesters, says area
manager Ron Kerr.
We just launched Urbana in
Hillcrest in late September and were
getting a great response from a
mixed group of buyers who love that
they can get into a townhome with
a double detached garage and high
standard features for a great price
with no monthly condo fees, he says.
Urbana in Hillcrest features 28
two-storey homes showcasing seven
different models with one offering
dual owner bedrooms and the rest
with three bedrooms. The homes
range from 1,360 to 1,560 sq. ft. and
all include with a double detached
garage, front and rear landscaping, a
patio and a fenced yard.
Inside, buyers appreciate the
exceptional standard features such
as wide plank laminate floors, granite
countertops, under mount sinks,
stainless steel appliances, upstairs
laundry with front loading washer
and dryer and owners suites with
ensuites and walk-in closets and
all at an affordable introductory price
starting at $329,900.
Shane Homes also crafts stunning
double front-attached garage homes
in Hillcrest for people looking to
move-up or desiring a custom-
designed dream home. There are two
showhomes to view in Hillcrest the
Fiesta II and Tofino II.
The Fiesta II is the smallest model
we can build at 1,767 sq. ft. and we
build up to and over 3,000 sq. ft. with
triple-car garage, Brodowski says.
The Fiesta is a very family-oriented
home with a good sized kitchen that
you often see in much larger homes
and has many features buyers look
for such as a walk-through pantry,
upstairs laundry room, large bonus
room and spa-like ensuite. Its a great
move-up home and is very popular
with young families and downsizers.
Were also creating a lot more
luxury homes in Hillcrest because
the lots are more affordable than in
Calgary so buyers can get a bigger
home with more features, he says.
Being able to customize is huge for
us because people can get the home
that suites them best.
Shane has limited lots and a few
walkouts still available on the top of
the hill in Hillcrest the highest point
in Airdrie with mountain and Calgary
views with the remaining lots
backing onto greenspace with south-
or west-facing backyards.

Mattamy Homes welcomes new homeowners to CityscapeATTAINABLE HOMES Calgary
Corporation (AHCC), in partnership
with Mattamy Homes (Mattamy), is
pleased to welcome 10 deserving
families to their new homes in the
northeast community of Cityscape
this week.
AHCC, a nonprofi t social enterprise
and wholly owned subsidiary of The
City of Calgary, connects builders,
lenders, lawyers and others to bring
down the upfront costs of buying a
home so qualifying Calgarians can
get a foot on the property ladder
with a $2,000 down payment. In
2013, Mattamy Homes o ered 10 of
its popular Village Homes to AHCCs
Attainable Home Ownership Program
in an e ort to support this valuable
social program and the Calgarians
who benefi t from it.
Mattamy is committed to
providing homes to Calgarians at
every price point, and the program
through Attainable Homes takes that
to another level, said Don Barrineau,
Calgary Division President, Mattamy
Homes. We know that owning a
home is often one of lifes most
cherished and valued events, and
knowing that we have been a part of
providing 10 Calgary families with this
experience is very rewarding for the
Mattamy team.
AHCC o ers below market prices
on well-appointed apartment condos
and townhomes to qualifying home
buyers who contribute a $2,000
deposit and receive an equity loan to
go towards the purchase price of their
attainable home. When the home
owner decides to sell their home, a
portion of the home appreciation is
shared with AHCC to be reinvested in
the program to serve more Calgarians.
This is an important milestone
for the 10 families who are achieving
housing independence this week
and marks a tangible step forward
for the Mattamy-Attainable Homes
relationship, said David Watson, AHCC President and CEO.
It is partnerships like this that make it possible for us to
provide families who might not otherwise be able to a ord
a home, with a place to call their own and greater stability
in their lives.
The Cityscape townhomes are two and three bedroom
designs that also include an attached single car garage.
When the homes became available for purchase in
January, a number of families camped out overnight to be
fi rst in line to buy them, a group of them going so far as to
nickname themselves the crazy eight in a show of unity
and community.
New homeowners o cially began taking possession
of townhome units in Cityscape last Thursday. Located
at Country Hills Blvd and Metis Trail, Cityscape is
an integrated master-planned community that will
ultimately o er 4,000 homes to the city.
Visit mattamyhomes.com for more information regarding
Cityscape, and attainyourhome.com for more information
regarding AHCC.

CALGARIANS CONTINUE TO mull over the benefits
and costs surrounding the possibility of a new
arena, fieldhouse and redevelopment of West
Village adjacent to the complex.
The $950-million project dubbed CalgaryNEXT,
introduced in August by Ken King, CEO of the
Calgary Sports and Entertainment Group which
owns the NHL Flames and the CFL Stampeders
has been front-page news across the city.
Even after making public that the city was
considering a bid on the 2026 Winter Olympics,
an event that would likely require a new rink,
Mayor Naheen Nenshi seemed quizzical about
the benefits of such facilities for Calgary. He cites
a stack of academic reports that claim there is
never an economic benefit out of these sorts of
investments.
Calgarians appear split on the notion of
replacing the Saddledome with a new venue. In a
recent survey, almost half of the respondents were
against the city and the sports ownership group
each chipping in $200 million to the project. City
councillors argue that citizens arent thrilled with
taxpayers dollars going into sports infrastructure,
while other elected officials say the proposal is
necessary to spark downtown activity.
According to the CalgaryNEXT financial
plan, additional money would come from a
$240-million Community Revitalization Levy which
would be paid back in taxes affecting residents
and businesses in West Village, which would also
receive a makeover. Remaining funds would come
via $250 user fee and ticket tax charged to patrons
of the new sports facilities.
It is premature to comment on how this will
affect taxpayers, says King. Our proposed funding
model was developed to work in conjunction with
existing city plans of building out the West Village
and the construction of a fieldhouse for the city.
Were bringing $450 million in funding to the table
in order to help move this development forward.
Our goal is to continue to build on the legacy of
this great city we all live in.

on the horizon, landscaping may
not be a priority for homeowners
to contemplate. Landscape 360
would like to highlight a few ideas
homeowners can explore over
the winter. Hiring a landscape
contractor should be exciting and
satisfying. However, this can be a
very discouraging time for some
homeowners, unsure of where to
begin, what you want it to look like
and who to talk too. Here are a few
tips to guide you through a satisfying
landscape construction experience.
Have a plan. You can never call a
company too early to plan for the
following seasons project. Many
landscape companies are limited in
the number of jobs they can do in a
season. Having a plan and beginning
the process early can allow for your
