Natural beauty, lakeside living and modern convenience form the vision behind the Calgary region’s Community of the Year winner for the eighth time.
With its proximity to the mountains and unparalleled amenities, the community of Harmony — located in Springbank, between Calgary and the town of Cochrane — is more than just a place to live; it’s a philosophy. Inspired by the developers’ desire to offer a holistically planned, sustainably built neighbourhood, Harmony’s allure lies in its blend of natural features and thoughtful planning.
“Harmony’s popularity stems from its unparalleled blend of lakeside lifestyle living, natural beauty with proximity to the mountains and modern convenience,” says Emily Smith, director of marketing and customer care for Qualico Communities.
Smith says being named Community of the Year by BILD Calgary for the eighth time is a testament to the developers’ focus on bringing a true sense of community to Harmony.
“An award like this serves as recognition for all the hard work and dedication that has gone into achieving such a unique community vision,” she says.
That vision includes access to a diverse range of amenities: There is the community garden; South Beach offers swimming, fishing and kayaking; an adventure park features a skate park, climbing wall, ninja course, pump track, dog park and skating ribbon and rink; and the Mickelson National Golf Club — designed by PGA major champion Phil Mickelson — includes LaunchPad, a year-round social hub and restaurant with heated driving-range bays, various games and virtual courses, ideal for both avid golfers and beginners.
Continuing to improve
Being named the best community in the Calgary area doesn’t mean the development team isn’t looking for ways to enhance residents’ living experience.
As Smith points out, at full buildout, Harmony will include an expanded pathway network, commercial storefronts, a Nordic-themed spa, a new school, a beach club with additional beach locations and more options for shopping and entertainment.
Harmony also offers a variety of housing types for future residents at a range of price points. From townhomes, multi-family homes, duplexes and higher-density, single-family options to an assortment of stately, high-end houses, the community is accessible to a wide range of buyers.
“Harmony is bringing on more affordable home products at lower price points, including starter duplexes, laned, front-garage duplexes and narrower front-garage, single-family homes, making the community more attainable and allowing new homebuyers a chance to get a foot in the door,” says Smith. “This is really important for the long-term sustainability and attainability of the community.”
A bridge will soon connect the north and south ends of the community, and a new 100-acre lake will support the next housing phases and construction of the Village Centre, offering residents better access to shopping and entertainment.
Harmony is showcasing new semi-estate offerings from NuVista Homes, Daytona and Baywest Homes. It will also highlight starter duplex and laned housing options from Homes by Avi and Broadview Homes, as well as move-up, front-garage homes from Sterling Homes and Genesis Builds, with show homes for those and new estate show homes as well in September.
“There is really a little bit of everything in Harmony that people should check out,” says Smith. “Affordability has and will be a priority in this community.”
