Calgary's new northeast offers exciting opportunities and value for homebuyers
"A full, master-planned community destination." That's how Mattamy Homes vice-president of sales and marketing Warren Saunders describes Calgary's expanding – and evolving – northeast quadrant.
"That means choice for homebuyers," he said, noting that wasn't always the case in decades past.
In the "new northeast," Saunders says the expanding range of housing options allows different generations of homebuyers to remain in that sector of the city throughout their lives.
