CALGARY, Alberta – April 17, 2016 – Brookfield Residential has been recognized by its industry peers for its commitment to building great communities and homes at the 2015 CHBA-UDI Calgary SAM Awards. The CHBA-UDI SAM Awards, now in its 29th year, celebrate and acknowledge the innovation and excellence in Calgary and area’s residential construction industry.
Brookfield Residential was humbled this year to accept four awards, including New Community of the Year (Symons Gate), Best Billboard (Auburn Bay Red Chair), Best Villa/Duplex up to $374,999 (The Cadenza in Auburn Bay) and the Professional Home Builders Institute New Homebuyers’ Choice Award for Multi-Family 150+ possessions.
“Symons Gate is our 61st community in Calgary. We’ve been building in this great city for the last 58 years and are proud to be a part of making what many Calgarians call ‘the best places to call home’,” says Trent Edwards, Chief Operating Officer of Brookfield Residential, Alberta. “Everyone wants a place where they feel at home and that they belong. These awards confirm that we are on the right track and contributing to making Calgary a world-class city.”
Albi Homes, Brookfield Residential’s recently acquired luxury homes division, also received recognition from the industry with one award for Best Sales and Information Centre – Attached, in Auburn Bay. Brookfield Residential acquired Albi Homes, a leading luxury homebuilder in Calgary, in November 2015.
“We’re excited about what the future holds for the Brookfield Residential team,” says Edwards. “With the addition of Albi, we can bring a new level of customer experience to our homeowners and give them enormous choice in all areas of the city, from their first condo to their dream family home, in the best communities Calgary has to offer.”
Brookfield Residential continues to develop new communities in Calgary and the surrounding region. It will open Livingston, its largest community, in the New North of Calgary in early 2017. Livingston will be home to over 30,000 residents over the next 15 years. Brookfield Residential is also developing Mustang Heights (Cochrane), Chinook Gate (Airdrie), South Seton (Calgary), and a to-be-named community in the south Bearspaw area.
