Unfortunately the project, featuring high end luxury condos backing onto a treed ravine, was a little before it’s time. Sales were slow, construction stopped, and the developer backed out of the project leaving just a handful of occupied units and a prime piece of empty real estate.

Fast forward to 2006 and things look a whole lot brighter for current and future residents thanks to Sandlewood Developments, who have stepped in to complete the project. “We actually purchased the property last year,” says Sandlewood marketing guru Carla Hackman, “but we’re just starting to bring it to market now.”

The development plan calls for a total of 24 homes, of which 14 are still available. Each building consists of three luxury bungalow units, with the option of developing a second storey thanks to the open design. Prices start at $750,000. The show suite comprises a total of 3,384 square feet on two levels, with a price point of just over $1 million.

“We’re showing by appointment only right now,” says Hackman, “but we’ll probably move our sales centre from Copperwood to here in the next few months.”
