We have now released our Horizon Collection of Single Family home designs on 35′ lots in the community of Bridlewood.  Come view the new model homes from the collection on Saturday, June 19th, 2010 upon our Sales Centre opening at noon.  They are located across from the Sales Centre at 200 Waymark Crest on Bridgestone Dr.

Based on our successful Horizon Collection townhomes, these single family homes were inspired by the horizon, where the earth meets the sky, and and a symbol of exploration and possibility. They feature modern designed exteriors with linear elements to represent the Horizon such as sharp straight lines and windows grouped in horizontal bands. These external parallel lines integrate well with open concept floor plans that allow room to move, providing a chance to explore the possibilities available to you in your new Urbandale R-2000 Single family home.
