in si de ha lto n. co m O ak vi lle B ea ve r | T hu rs da y, Ja nu ar y 21 ,2 02 1 | 14 A NEW PREMIER LUXURY COMMUNITY COMING TO OAKVILLE NEW HOMES NORTH OAKVILLE One of the most revolutionary urban design breakthroughs of the early 20th century was the Garden City Movement that began in England in 1898 and transformed the look and feel of master-planned communities around the world. Its main principle was closely integrating such new towns into their natural environments via encircling greenbelts, abundant in-town parks and green spaces, and a harmonious relationship with nearby farmlands. A century and a quarter later many such garden suburbs remain highly coveted addresses around the world. For example, Montreal's exclusive Town of Mount Royal and Joshua Creek in North Oakville echo many of the movement's core principles. Our new master-planned community, Joshua Creek Montage, will be one of the last opportunities to purchase a home in this exclusive and luxurious enclave. The three homebuilders involved in this outstanding project--Hallett Homes, Primont Homes and Valery Homes--are deeply committed to ensuring that Joshua Creek Montage will for generations be the benchmark of what it looks and feels like to live in a community that's closely integrated into its natural environment. "This is a groundbreaking new community that we're confident will enhance the lives of everyone who lives there," observes Ben Hallett, President of Hallett Homes. Joshua Creek Montage had a big advantage from the beginning in fulfilling this vision: the creek from which it draws its name runs through the property. At the community's southern border, it flows into a magnificent pond that will be one of the signature design elements of Montage. On its way to the pond it also flows through a forested natural ravine with walking trails. The plan is to rejuvenate the creek's numerous branches back into a natural wetland for aquatic wildlife. Bringing nature into harmony with this complete master- planned community will be on display throughout the project. An 11-acre urban park at the northern edge of the site will be accessible by trails and footpaths throughout the community. And the entire North Oakville area boasts a vast array of parklands and nature trails, including The Parkway, Bayshire Woods Park, Iroquois Shoreline Woods Park, Sheridan Valley Park and others. Being a sustainable community closely integrated into its natural environment is only one of Joshua Creek Montage's attractions. It's also a new town only minutes away from one of the most historic small cities in Canada, Downtown Oakville, with its incomparable heritage houses and its vibrant Lakeshore Boulevard. Central to Joshua Creek Montage's vision for its new community is building on the region's historic Rural Village legacy. Sophisticated design will be evident in the eye-catching array of the new community's ultra deluxe 36' to 50' Executive Single Detached homes and its 2- and 3-storey townhomes. Jane Lockhart, the renowned interior designer of these new homes, was conscious of reflecting the site's enduring natural beauty with interior spaces that are rich, textured, layered. The concept of a new town, modeled on a pedestrian- friendly European village, will be most fully demonstrated in the mixed-use hub envisioned by the Midtown Oakville plan. Centred on Dundas Street, it will intersect with the community's north/south main street. Only a short walk for Joshua Creek Montage's homeowners, this new Dundas main street will be a place to meet friends for a latte or drinks after work. Among the project's big draws is its dynamic next-door- neighbour, the GTA. Union Station is just a 30-minute train ride from the Clarkson GO station. From there it's just a 10-minute drive from Joshua Creek or a short ride on the 190 bus into GO Oakville. Driving into the city takes less than half an hour. The immense pride of the people masterminding this extraordinary new community is obvious. "We're thrilled to be part of Joshua Creek," says Lore Attardo, Vice President and Principal at Primont. "As with every community we build, we're treating Montage as if we're building it for our own family. Ted Valeri, the president of Valery Homes, echoes that sentiment, emphasizing that Joshua Creek Montage will be a prime opportunity to continue the longstanding Valery family tradition of building exceptionally well-built new homes in beautiful settings. "We pour our heart and soul into every community we build," he says.
