The Grove condos at Wildflower starting in the high-$200s, your next investment opportunity is here!

The Location

Wildflower is a master-planned community in Airdrie about 30 minutes drive to downtown Calgary. The community is a total of 320 acres that will be home to approximately 2,200 houses when fully completed. This is not your typical master planned community, with 28 acres of lavish nature parks, enticing gathering space and incredible views Wildflower is going to be a destination.

The Developer:

The developer is Minto Communities, one of our favourite and here’s why. We’ve worked with Minto for years, including their Annex, East Hills Crossing and Belvedere projects in Calgary and they have always delivered and exceeded our Client’s expectations. The company has been operating for than 65 years, building new homes, master-planned communities and condominiums throughout Canada and the US.

The Opportunity:

The Grove Condos at Wildflower is a new offering of 1-3 bedroom condos in west Airdrie. This collection of multi-family homes is part of the hillside master-planned community of Wildflower by Minto Communities. The Grove Condos consist of 3 thoughtfully designed 4-storey condo buildings.

  • Booming Population:

Airdrie is one of the fastest-growing cities in Canada, and is just 15 minutes north of Calgary, offering a unique investment opportunity. With a growth rate of 20.3% between 2016 and 2021, Airdrie outpaced Calgary at 5.5%. As the city continues to rapidly grow, demand for real  estate will also increase, driving your investment value upwards over the coming years.

  • Low rental supply + high rental demand:

Strong and sustained population growth, coupled with limited supply, has led to exceptionally low vacancy rates for Airdrie rentals. Vacancy rates were at 0.7% in Q4 2023, underscoring significant unmet demand. Although there is incredible opportunity for investment rental properties in Airdrie, there is currently limited supply for investors. The Grove condos at Wildflower will meet the demand for rental property investments in Airdrie and bring more rental properties to the city in the coming years.

  • Access to Calgary:

Neighbouring Airdrie, Calgary continues to be ranked in the top 10 most livable cities in the world. Alberta presents an advantageous real estate market with zero development charges, no land transfer tax, and no PST. Airdrie offers proximity to Calgary with a lower benchmark price and all the advantages of investing in Alberta.

  • Strong economy:

Airdrie’s downtown revitalization project is expected to create up to 7,000 jobs,  with continued job creation by new investors following the city centre’s transformation. Just outside Airdrie, a tech hub is forming in Calgary, with many major companies  choosing the city to open new headquarters. Along with this comes thousands of new jobs  and migration into Alberta to fill these positions.
