On winter nights when it gets dark early, the young upscale community of West Grove Estates continues to shine bright not only with the well-lit homes along its wide avenues and pathways, but in the promise of a bright future for the young families that have found a home in this highly sought-after southwest community.

West Grove Estates’ latest phase of Encore is doing very well indeed as buyers realize that this is the final opportunity to own a home in this upscale, family-oriented enclave just off Bow Trail.

“We’ve been selling two- to three-homes a month,” says Cedarglen Homes Sales Associate, D’Artgnan Nel. “Encore has been a hit, especially among young families who see all the potential that living here brings.”

Family-friendly design

Encore at West Grove Estates is the culmination of all the design efforts by Bri-mor Developments to create a community that is truly adapted to the needs of today’s families. It is an amenity-rich neighbourhood filled with green space, parks and pathways where kids can run around and neighbours can connect.

“It’s really a community made for kids to enjoy,” Nel adds. “Just this past Holidays saw the festive spirit of the community with all the homes lit up with elaborate Christmas decorations. Even Halloween was especially enjoyable with plenty of kids enjoying the trick-or-treating.”

Aleem Dhanani, Bri-mor’s Managing Director, says this was the vision they had for the entire West Grove Estates plan that started in the early 2000s. Today, West Grove Estates, and the adjoining developments of The Rise at West Grove Estates, and now, Encore, bear the fruit of that family-oriented vision.

“Homeowners in Encore can now experience the perfect blend of a newly built home nestled within an established community, offering amenities, neighbours, and easy access to over 8 acres of nearby parks, schools, and shopping,” he says.

Homes meant for the family

Cedarglen Homes is the exclusive home builder in Encore, and their line of front-drive garage homes here have been a stunning success.

“Encore in fact the whole West Grove Estates community, is perfect for new beginnings. Buyers are coming from all over and buying a home here, some of them for the first time,” Nel says. “The homes we offer here are great for growing families – or those looking to start one – who want to set down roots for their future,” he adds.

Their two front-drive garage showhomes here – the three-storey Macleod and the two-storey Nanton – provide a taste of the rich, lavish lifestyle that is offered in Encore.

The 2,641-square-foot four-bedroom Macleod 3ST 26 showhome is a stunning fusion of modern sophistication and timeless elegance. It offers a soft, calming interior palette sets the stage for tranquility, while expertly curated furnishings and décor elevate the essence of refined comfort. This exceptional home is crowned by a breathtaking third-storey loft, where expansive views of the surrounding community and distant mountains create a truly inspiring living experience.

While the 2,024-square-foot Nanton 24 showhome is a masterful blend of natural stone accents and warm, inviting tones, creating a refined ambiance that exudes timeless sophistication. Designed with a seamless balance of transitional and organic elements, this home showcases Cedarglen Homes’ signature craftsmanship.

“People love our showhomes here, noting how elevated the designs are,” Nel says. “The most requested upgrade is for 10-foot ceilings in the basement so they can install golf simulators,” Nel points out.

Perfecting community

Bri-mor spearheaded the development of this much coveted corner of the city close to the intersection of Bow Trail and 85th Street SW, and Encore is the seventh and final phase of their tremendously successful West Grove Estates community representing 59 of the total 423 homes.

Encore achieves an incredible balance of modern living, affordability, and an established community feel, he adds. “Buyers enjoy 8.5 acres of green space, a prime location with easy access to downtown and the mountains, and a family-friendly neighborhood designed for active lifestyles.”

The new phase of Encore infuses fresh energy into the entire community, offering a range of stunning new architectural options. With the addition of a third story loft or flex space, residents can enjoy breathtaking views of the mountains and downtown, ensuring that every buyer finds the perfect home to match their lifestyle. Home designs reflect the needs of families, with open-concept living, functional layouts, and beautiful architectural styles, all within a community that prioritizes green space and connectivity. With only a limited number of lots available, this is a rare opportunity to build in a highly desirable area.

An established community

Encore West Grove Estates is located within the coveted West Springs area in Calgary’s southwest quadrant. Surrounded by aspen woodland and situated away from city noise, but conveniently close to all amenities and very accessible to major thoroughfares including the just-widened Bow Trail extension, 85th St. SW, and Sarcee Trail. “You’re in downtown in minutes, and in the mountains in an hour,” Dhanani says.

Encore is the seventh phase of Bri-mor’s popular West Grove Estates community. By joining this established community already teeming with families and children enjoying the parks, greenspace, and playing street hockey; Encore residents will have immediate access to over 8 acres of parks from the existing West Grove Estates community,

“The nice thing about Encore is that you will be moving in to an already established community, pathways and parks are already there for everyone to enjoy, the ease-of-living amenities nearby are world-class – shopping, schools, groceries, restaurants, everything is within a five-minute drive.”

Any residential development in the west side of Calgary is almost guaranteed to be real estate gold, and the continued success of Encore’s latest phase proves this despite the heavy competition in the area.

“We have very happy residents in Encore, and though this may be the final phase of this community, we have more developments in line that will surely grab buyers’ interest. Across all phases, over 400 homes and families have already made this community their own, with the sounds of kids playing, neighbours connecting, and families enjoying the outdoors next to the mountains. This sense of belonging is what makes Encore so special to Bri-mor. Encore truly embodies our values as a company, reflecting the importance we place on family and community. As a family-owned business, we deeply value these principles, and they guide how we run our company as we continue to build both residential and commercial communities.”Dhanani says.
