with every home boasting a view of the nearby Rocky Mountains. The location is also a feature – the community is located in a “serene, park-like setting, with all shopping and city amenities just five minutes away,” Josh says. Legacy Lookout comprises 61 single-family lots, as well as a condo building with 23 units. There is also room to potentially add a couple more condo buildings in the future, or alternatively a series of townhomes. New Dawn started the project in 2018, when the community was just “raw land.” Today, they have only a handful of lots left. Josh predicts the project will be both fully sold-out and fully delivered within the next two years. “It’s been a very successful development,” he says. “In three years, we’ve built almost 50 homes in Legacy Lookout, plus the 23-unit condo building. We’ve come a long way.” The 50-odd homes in Legacy Lookout include a mixture of spec homes, custom homes that were individually designed and built for clients, and three show-homes that they used as sales centres – which is not something that developers typically do in the East Kootenays. Josh partly credits the success of that project to the show homes, which served as a firsthand demonstration of the kind of quality that prospective buyers could expect. He also credits the uniqueness of the design concept and planning: “We really created a tight-knit community there,” he explains. “That’s just not common in our area. In my opinion, it’s the first development in Cranbrook of its kind.” THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE CANADA
