My boyfriend and I had a house. It was small, cozy, and perfect for two. A day spent browsing show homes online changed everything. We fell in love with Trico’s Parkside duplex in Midtown right away. Within a few short weeks, we went from our right-now-home to a beautiful corner lot on the pond with room to grow. Having been through a new home build before, I thought I knew what to expect. What we soon came to realize is that Trico isn’t like any other company. Carmen and her team are exceptional. They didn’t simply answer our questions, they came with inspiration and solutions. Instead of asking us to wait patiently on the fringe for our possession date, we were invited to collaborate. Possibly the greatest compliment I can offer is that Trico, specifically Carmen and our Midtown Airdrie team, builds communities. By the time we took possession of our home, we had met several neighbours, participated in a Christmas Adopt-a-Family program, attended several Trico and Midtown events, and were welcomed home like family. We even have an Instagram account! We would say that we’d build with Trico again, but honestly, we aren’t sure that we’ll ever find a reason to leave. We’re home.
