Silver Spruce: a new community in an established part of the southwest
October 13, 2023
The story of Calgary’s southwest continues to unfold, and the next exciting chapter of its growth begins with the introduction of Silver Spruce.
Silver Spruce is coming up in a well-established corner of the southwest that is seeing some of the biggest new homeowning potential in the city, and its developer, Apex Developments, is making sure that this promise is realized.
“Silver Spruce, the exquisite new SW Calgary community, presents a captivating array of housing options and designs, tailor-made to suit your lifestyle and preferences,” says Apex Development Coordinator, Michelle Wilken.
“From beautiful single-family homes in phase 1 to luxurious duplexes coming in 2024, this community offers an abundance of sophisticated choices that epitomize the pinnacle of peaceful living.”
Amenities first
Like many of Apex’s previous developments, the introduction of in-community amenities is prioritized.
“We have a playground under construction right now and will be ready to use before the showhomes are even open,” Wilken says. “Silver Spruce is surrounded by environmental reserve green space, an abundance of pathways and even a pollinator park. Not to mention all the shops and restaurants that are already in Silverado.
That is just what new homebuyers are looking for – a community offering new construction homes in an established area already rich with amenities.
Fresh opportunity
Calgary’s southwest has always held the title as the city’s most sought-after residential area, but in the past decade, opportunities to buy a new home in this quadrant had been extremely limited. Not anymore!
“Silver Spruce is nestled in the well-established community of Silverado. Silver Spruce allows you to have the benefits of owning a brand-new home from one of two top builders in Calgary while being able to enjoy the benefits of being in Silverado including schools, parks, paths and so much more,” Wilken adds.
It will have a more boutique community feel though, with Excel Homes and Brookfield Residential in its builder group. They will be offering front-attached garage homes in the first phase, but Wilken says more product lines will be introduced in later phases.
Family homes
The front-drive garage home remains the most popular home type in the suburbs and Silver Spruce will have a wide range to choose from in this initial stage.
Brookfield Residential will have front drive garage homes from 1,884 to 2,485 square feet, with up to six bedrooms. Five models will be available starting from the low $700,000s.
Excel Homes front drive garage homes here will range from 1,775 to 2,274 square feet with up to four bedrooms. They will have seven models and start from the high $600,000’s. Showhomes will be available to view by late fall 2023.
Existing amenities
Silver Spruce offers this and much more, as it is a brand-new community within an already established part of the southwest. The community of Silverado is replete with all the essential amenities needed to enjoy a relaxed, easy, contemporary lifestyle.
There are two schools (elementary to junior high) as well as playschools in Silverado, kindergarten/elementary schools nearby. Wilken says another school is coming soon too.
Silverado also has a fitness and yoga studio, a veterinary hospital and the requisite shopping centre with groceries, banks, pharmacy, restaurants, and so much more already ready for Silver Spruce’s new residents to enjoy.
“The community of Silver Spruce is a hidden gem that offers the best of both worlds. With its picturesque scenery, friendly residents, and close-knit community vibe, Silver Spruce instantly feels like home for your whole family,” Wilken says.
There are seven parks and two more on the way, 10-kilometres of pathways in Silverado. And just outside of it is the Spruce Meadows Off Leash Dog Park; Granary Road – Farmer’s Market & Active Learning Park; Lloyd Park Disc Golf Course; Heritage Pointe Golf Club; Launchpad Heritage Pointe and the ever-popular Fish Creek Provincial Park. Of course, the Spruce Meadows grounds are just outside the community as well.
