“We made sure to include places where tenants could gather and create connections,” Leon explains. “We’ve found that people are seeking that connection, and we’re trying to provide that in our buildings.” Also coming up is a 75-unit apartment at 1800 Leila in Winnipeg. That will include similar amenities, including a fitness room, sauna, and games room. “We want to create a sense of community in our larger projects,” Leon reiterates. “We’re doing that by having gathering places.” Also, as they move forward, Chanden Homes intends to grow. They currently have four properties of various sizes under construction, and they want to maintain that pace. That will mean aggressively seeking land opportunities, which they are doing now. “Our goal has always been to have a better product at a lower price,” Leon says. “As we grow, we’re only getting better at providing that – so we want to keep growing. We want to continue building relationships and creating opportunities for our employees and subcontractors. We want to continue down the path we’re on.” JULY 2022
