Qualico Recognized With Multiple Awards At Manitoba Parade Of Homes Gala

Winnipeg, MB – More than 700 people attended the Manitoba Home Builders’ Association’s annual fall Parade of Homes Gala on October 12 to celebrate the Parade’s winning entries, including many for Qualico business units. This year’s gala, held at the RBC Winnipeg Convention Centre, showcased awards in 34 separate categories, with gold, silver, and bronze awards given out in each.

A mix of volunteer judging panels reviewed electronic submissions from the entrants, as well as visited each of the homes in person to select the winners. The categories included awards for condominiums (bungalows and apartment-style) and single-family detached homes (townhouse, bungalow, and two-storey) at various price points.

Qualico was well represented at this year’s gala, with several business units receiving awards, and a few even winning awards in multiple categories. Qualico’s wins at this year’s Parade of Homes included:

StreetSide Developments

• Gold Winner: Lord Roberts – 108-670 Hugo Street South

Kelli Roach, Sales Manager, StreetSide Developments Winnipeg:

“There is no better way to end Fall Parade of Homes then taking home the gold for such a well-received project as Metro Condominiums. This being StreetSide Developments' first transit-oriented development, we couldn’t be happier with how people first acknowledged the idea, then accepted it, and are now living the South Osborne lifestyle. We are two units shy of selling out of Phase 1, Phase 2 purchasers are moving in at the end of the year, and overall it has been a successful project thanks to superb team effort. It’s a great new development within an established neighbourhood that is getting better by the day with easy access to all areas of the city.”

Broadview Homes

• Gold Winner: Ridgewood West – 16 Kestrel Way

• Gold Winner: Prairie Pointe – 35 Skyline Drive

• Silver Winner: Aurora at North Point – 115 Phoenix Way

• Silver Winner: Bridgwater Trails – 70 Rowntree Avenue

• Bronze Winner: Aurora at North Point – 20 Atlas Crescent

Sterling Homes

• Bronze Winner: Taylor Farm – 3 Fetterly Way

Courtney Sims, Marketing Manager, Broadview Homes/Sterling Homes Winnipeg:

“We were very pleased with 35 Skyline Drive winning a gold award. This model is very different in the fact that it offers a traditional layout instead of open concept. This demonstrates the importance of offering different types of layouts to suit everyone’s needs rather than focusing solely on one main trend. Both of our duplex entries received silver awards, which was great to see. Duplex homes are becoming more popular in the marketplace, as they are a more attainable price point for many. Our focus has been to provide the best quality and value for this style of home, while keeping the price as competitive as possible.”

Kensington Homes

• Silver Winner: Bridgwater Trails – 316 Cherrywood Road

• Bronze Winner: Bonavista – 367 Bonaventure Drive West

• Bronze Winner: Ridgewood West – 4 Kestrel Way

Foxridge Homes

• Gold Winner: Bridgwater Trails – 364 Willow Creek Road

• Gold Winner: Ridgewood West – 3 Munnion Road

Colleen Chaput, Marketing Manager, Kensington Homes/Foxridge Homes Winnipeg:

“We’re extremely pleased with the awards that we took home this fall, particularly because these are two brand new plans created by the Foxridge team. There are many members of our team who are a part of this win and they all deserve recognition. And we’re excited to be creating even more new plans and bringing them to the market in the new year.”

Congratulations to all of the winners at this year’s MB Parade of Homes.
