entity,” he explains. “We wanted to provide a service to the community.” Above the commercial space, there are nine units that the company calls “loft units,” which have 12-foot-high ceilings and an “industrial look.” That kind of look is unique to the area – which is something also that Chanden wanted to provide. “You seldom see that look in brand new construction,” Leon says, “but we wanted to provide something that had a very classic high-end loft vibe, but in a new product instead of in a really old building.” Within the apartment units, they also wanted to do something unique with the kitchen design – they wanted to give their future tenants a say. According to Chantelle, during construction, they offered a choice between four different color palettes. They also offered a choice between gold and black accents on the faucets. “We made it feel much more like a personal experience for them,” she says . The market has responded strongly to those unique touches and that personal service, as almost all of the units have been fully leased prior to the completion of construction. Moving forward, Chanden Homes is hoping to replicate that success on their upcoming projects. That list includes a 136-unit apartment in Steinbach, which was also designed with the goal of “creating connections.” To create those connections, the company has included some exciting amenities, such as: a lounge roomwith a kitchenette; a games roomwith a pool table, foosball table, shuffleboard table and card table; and an oversized fitness room with a sauna.
