This morning we made the big announcement on our Indigo Shores page that the QEII Home Lottery is officially coming back again in Spring 2021, and we're all very excited. While we wait to see the beautiful riverfront home that Eye for Style by Emily Rendell is going to bring us, let's have a look back at the four previous Grand Prize Showhomes that have graced the Indigo community.
We're so fortunate to work with some of the best builders in the business, and we love to showcase the beautiful homes that they create. Have a look at this sleek 4 bedroom from Stonewater Homes, built on a lovely lot in our Middle Sackville subdivision of Berry Hills. We know you're going to ask us if it's aleady sold, and it is. But if you're in love with the Stonewater craftmanship, reach out to them to chat about bringing your dream home to life.
We're excited to report that Phase Three of The Garrisons, Erindale Estates is now over 50% sold. Our uber-popular split entry model has been completely spoken for, and our two storeys are seeing plenty of interest as well. A big thanks to the realtors on both sides of these transactions for making the process so smooth for everyone involved. Great work!
Since the COVID-19 crisis has begun unfolding in Canada, we've been watching with concern and optimism, like many of you. The one thing we can't help but notice, as we're working safely from home with our families, is that healthcare workers have not stopped. They're stepping up every day and putting their own safety last, to help keep us all strong. Long days, hectic situations, and so much uncertainty are a daily part of their lives, more so now than ever. And they keep on... going. They are heroes. We've always offered a Heroes Dicount on our homes in The Garrisons, Erindale Estates and The Auroras at Kingswood North to military members and first responders, but we're happily extending this discount to include healthcare workers, effective immediately. It's our small way of showing how grateful we are. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
We'd like to let you know that our leadership has made the decision to have the majority of our employees work from home. As such, our office at 145 Hobsons Lake Drive will be closed to visitors. Although this virus may not reach many of us and may have only a mild impact on most that it does reach, it is important that we come together as a community and do whatever we can to minimize the rate at which it is spreading. We want to support our healthcare workers and systems a...nd those in our communities who would be impacted severely. We encourage everyone to remain calm and positive in the current climate. Our undertaking of more working from home is not meant to panic anyone, but is instead designed to make everyone feel safer and make our employees proud that they are doing what they can to support others who will need it in the coming weeks. We're going to be okay - we're tough Nova Scotians and there's not much we can't get through. Let's get through it together - from a safe distance. We're still here to handle any of your questions and concerns, please reach out at anytime.
It's Friday, so we thought we'd treat you to a little eye candy and show off some of the beautiful homes in our subdivisions, brought to you by some of the best builders in the business.
Please be advised, the Halifax Service Canada Centre and Passport Service office located at 1800 Argyle St is closed until further notice. We recommend following Passport Canada for updates, as there is no definite time available yet for when the office will reopen. From Passport Canada: "If you are experiencing symptoms of cough, fever or difficulty breathing or are in self-isolation or quarantine do not visit a Service Canada In-Person office for service."
We're thrilled to share with you that we've been named Gold Standard Winners on the 2020 Deloitte list of Canada's Best Managed Companies. This means, among other things, that we "showcase outstanding leadership in our industry, with a clear strategy that is focused on investing for long-term success and growth, and that we've done so for three consecutive years (we're blushing). From everyone at Armco, congratulations to our fellow winners - it's truly an impressive class to be a part of - and to Deloitte for this recognition. See the full list here: https://bit.ly/2TteOKB
Another day, another big announcement (we promise it's not usually this exciting around here) We have officially sold our Willow Tree Tower property, at the corner of Quinpool Rd and Robie St, to Shannex Inc. Although the building is changing hands, the parameters approved by council will remain the same: 25 storeys, an integrated bus shelter, and a $1.8 million contribution to HRM's affordable housing fund will still be key features of this redevelopment. ... Shannex will be offering an adult active living community in this location, with spacious suites, a spa, a fitness centre, a golf simulator, a library, a games room and multiple outdoor spaces. This will be the first of its kind in the region. Demolition is expected to begin soon, with an anticipated opening date of 2024 for the new building. We want to thank the public for all the support we have received on this project in the past, and congratulate our friends at Shannex, who are bringing something beautiful and much-needed to the Quinpool Robie area.
We've got big news: we're moving to East Hants. Last night, council members for the Municipality of East Hants voted in favour of Wickwire Station, our latest project which will see over 2,200 residential units built on 500 acres in Lantz over the next 10-15 years. Located mid-way between Halifax and Truro, with easy highway access and only a short drive to the airport, Wickwire Station will be a popular choice for families of all shapes and sizes who are looking to escape th...e city, and enjoy home ownership at prices well below those in Halifax, in an area surrounded by natural beauty. We can't wait to invest in this growing community. Learn more about East Hants here: https://www.easthants.ca/
When you build quality homes, at affordable prices, in a desirable location, homebuyers will flock to you. This has been the award-winning secret of ATN Homes' success in Governor's Brook. We've loved seeing the new faces in the neighbourhood, as families of all shapes and sizes invest in their futures with an ATN home. Keep up the great work, guys.
And here, dear friends, is your Friday afternoon love story. Once upon a time, we didn't think a Bowers Construction + Armco Communities romance would ever be a thing, especially in Governor's Brook. After all, Bowers is known for high end, custom dream homes, with unique touches and fine details that leave even the most discerning buyers swooning. And at Armco Communities, we're known for providing attainable, affordable homes to buyers throughout HRM. This would never work.... And then it came to us. What if luxury, could be attainable? Look- JUST LOOK - at the end result. Bowers came into Governor's Brook and blew the socks off of buyers, the community, and us. Their gorgeous designs lived up to the Bowers brand, but managed to come with a price tag that opened these homes up to a brand new group of people. We couldn't be happier that it worked out so well, and we just know we're all going to live happily ever after.
Have you heard of our latest building project, The Auroras at Kingswood North? This collection of affordably luxurious split entry and two-storey homes is selling steadily, thanks in large part to the excellence of realtors Josh Kogon, Royal LePage Atlantic and Melissa Berry Real Estate 902.401.9425. Have a look at our two-storey model and tell us what you think, and stay tuned for photos of our split entry, coming soon.
We're proud to be part of and sponsor this star-studded event, Women On Top Of The World (we like to call it Women Right Where They Belong ). Purchase your tickets and join us for this exciting evening.
One thing we're really proud of is the relationship we have with our builders. They're our clients, but also our friends, and we love to see and share their successes. Indulge us while we brag about one of these builders, ReDesigns Construction. Under the direction of their very skilled, passionate and dedicated leader Shane, these folks are bringing custom home dreams to life in awe-inspiring fashion. We have so enjoyed seeing what ReDesigns has brought to the Indigo Shores party, including this stunner right here. We'd tag them but they - GASP! - don't have social media (their greatness spreads by word-of-mouth). You can check out more of their projects on their website: https://redesignsconstruction.com/
We’re throwing down the gauntlet for mental health and challenging you to pitch in, too. On March 6th, Josh Kogon and Melissa Berry from Royal LePage Atlantic will step out of their comfort zones and into the limelight to perform at Different Stage of Mind, a fundraiser for the Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia. We're jumping in as sponsors and offering to match the next $7,500 in donations, dollar for dollar. ... Will you join us in supporting a cause that impacts so many of our friends, family members and neighbours? Donate here: https://www.mentalhealthns.ca/dsom2020/melissa-josh
We love celebrating the success of the ambitious and talented people we work with, so we'd like to throw a huge congratulations to our Eastern Passage Dream Team: Heidi Properties Halifax-Royal LePage Atlantic, Tanya Colbo - Royal LePage Atlantic and Chris Peters, Real Estate Agent for their prestigious awards last weekend. Chris took home President's Gold, while Heidi and Tanya nabbed Director's Platinum. These awards are much deserved. Want to see them in action? Check out The Garrisons, Erindale Estates
It has been an honour to have known and worked with Gerald Mitchell for many years. A savvy, tell-it-like-it-is businessman, he built a successful family-focused homebuilding company that has always given back to the community. Gerald Mitchell truly was one of the good guys, and his passing is felt across the industry. Our thoughts are with his family, his dearest friends, everyone at Gerald Mitchell Contracting, and all of those he has inspired throughout the years.
Last Friday, members of our team attended the 20th Annual Peak Awards, which recognizes excellence in residential construction in our province. We were the proud recipients of three trophies: two for marketing excellence in Indigo Shores, and the Industry Supporter Of The Year award, which we were honoured to accept. But our proudest moments come from seeing our building partners receive recognition for their hard work and dedication. Congratulations to Marchand Homes, ATN Homes, FH Development Group, ReDesigns Construction and Bowers Construction, who all took home some hardware for their achievements over the past year. Here's to 2020!
Have you heard? The Great Big Dig, an annual construction industry fundraiser for The IWK, raised a record-breaking $550,000 during Saturday's gala event. We're proud to sponsor 'The Dig', and it's always a pleasure spending time with our building partners and friends, (and fellow Big Diggers) Irfan and Ghassan from Amara Developments Inc. We clean up pretty nicely, if we do say so ourselves.
