As a leading community developer and home builder, we’ve also gained ground as a multi-family builder. In fact, we've been named Calgary's multi-family builder of the year twice. With over 30 years of experience, we have learned to master it all, with safety and high standards as our priority. From communities that offer value to quality single-family homes, townhomes, and apartments, everything we build is built for a better tomorrow.
As a company that has owned and built multi-family projects, we offer a range of services that can be offered individually or as a package:
Crescent Heights, Calgary, AB
Hopewell Residential is one of the builders who participated in the former Resolve program, dedicated to creating affordable housing in Calgary. Hope Heights is an affordable apartment-style building geared towards women and children in need. Hopewell worked with HomeSpace on this building, and its possessions are anticipated for Fall 2024.
Citadel, Edmonton, AB
Hopewell added value-engineering services during pre-construction and budget preparation in advance of financing being obtained. This project has six of 11 buildings framed using ACQBUILT panelized framing system, which, while more expensive, accelerated the project with offsetting interest costs for a net financial benefit to the owner.
Mahogany, Calgary, AB
Hopewell is actively framing the fourth and final building of Sandgate, a collection of four four-storey wood frame apartments. This project is a for-sale condominium, and is fully sold out. Possessions of the final building are anticipated for early 2025.
Secord, Edmonton, AB
Located in a Hopewell Residential community in west Edmonton, Secord Chalet is comprised of multiple blocks of two-storey wood-frame townhomes. With either a single- or double-attached garage, each townhome features two to three bedrooms and ample living space. This project is largely complete and is fully sold and occupied.
