Today at Willow Creek


Work is moving right along this week as we get closer to paving and early landscaping. If you haven't been on site recently (or ever!) now is the time to come out a get a look pre-construction. Astoria Homes has staked out their show home so there is only a short time remaining before the look of the site changes forever!

New Report Ranks Calgary #1 for Overall Economic Prosperity


A recent report released by Calgary Economic Development, in association with the Conference Board of Canada, entitled "Calgary: A Global Scorecard on Prosperity" ranks our city as number one for overall economic strength compared to 22 other major cities around the world.

The report credits our proximity to highly valuable natural resources, low unemployment rate, high percentage of disposable income, relative affordability of housing and average annual population growth, among numerous other indicators as reasons why Calgary has earned this title.

The partners and investors of Willow Creek couldn't agree more. We believe that Calgary is a great place to work and live and will remain an active and vibrant community, both socially and economically for many generations to come.

Vote for Rising Bearspaw Basketball Star to Win Canada's Best High School Post Player




At only 17, Bearspaw resident Dallin Bachynski is one of Canada's most talented rising basketball stars. Coming in at an impressive 6'11" and weighing 225lbs, Bachynski has garnered attention North America-wide and has signed on to play at an NCAA Division 1 school in the United States next year.


Currently a player for the Sir Winston Churchill Bulldogs, Bachynski has an overall 92-7 high school record. He is a great kid with a bright future and as the son of one of Willow Creek's partners we wish him the very best as he moves forward with his dream of playing in the NBA.


Help Dallin as he heats up the court and vote for him to win Canada's Best High School Post Player. Visit http://www.phase1basketball.com/ and click the "Polls" link on the top of the page.


Dallin is the only player from Western Canada nominated for this award.

South Pond Work Shaping Up!


Our South Ponds are coming along nicely. We are trying to keep the water levels down while work is underway but once complete and filled, the ponds will be an impressive feature of Willow Creek.

There are 7 lots still available backing onto the ponds. All are suitable for South walkout basements and have great views & topography. Just ask Astoria Homes...they could see the potential more than a year ago and secured lots 31 and 32. We can't wait to see the gorgeous homes they will build on these magnificent home sites!

...the geese love the ponds too!


Entrance Feature Progression



Willow Creek's entrance feature is one step closer to completion. We now have the metal letters mounted on the wood structure with recessed lighting below. This piece will attach to a large stone selected at a quarry in B.C. by local artist Kevin Elliot of Set In Stone and will be placed at the main entrance on Woodland Road later this summer. If you would like to come by and have a look at the progress to date the feature is in front of the sales office. You just might get a friendly welcome from our office dog Jax too!
