Craftsman Ventures announces grand opening

Posted on November 30, 2015 by Stacey Cook

Craftsman Ventures is pleased to announce the highly-anticipated grand opening of The Villas from 12noon to 4pm on Saturday, December 5. The Villas on Van Horne are built by Craftsman Ventures Ltd, builders of the award winning Aberdeen Estates and Casa Bella. Craftsman Ventures have been developing homes for 25 years throughout BC.

The first phase of a 52 unit residential development is situated on Van Horne Drive in Aberdeen. The property is located within minutes of downtown Kamloops, steps to transit and Aberdeen Elementary and an array of nearby trails and parks to enjoy. Move-in opportunities begin now.

The complex in Phase 1 offers a mix of duplex and triplex units with 2 bedroom and den configurations. Each residence incorporates upscale finishes and appliances including quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, engineered hardwood floors, gas fireplaces, soft close extended height cabinetry, and large expansive windows to soak in the view.

As stunning as the interiors, the exteriors of the homes and surrounding areas were well planned out. The homes are built into the hillside, with the housing design complementing the landscape and maximizing views of the sweeping Thompson River Valley.

The development is to be completed with xeriscaping, dry landscaping of rocks, boulders, and native grasses and shrubs, an aesthetic and environmental choice that mimics Kamloops’ natural flora while minimizing water use. It was important to Craftsman Ventures to minimize environmental impact, while reducing maintenance needed for homeowners and Strata.

The planned large amenity area includes a sloping hill of native grasses, a shared fruit-tree orchard, and community garden boxes. Community-supported agriculture is a great way to enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables every day in your home at The Villas.

“On behalf of Craftsman Ventures, we are pleased to mark the grand opening of The Villas,” remarked Greg Hatswell, General Manager of Real Estate. “We are confident that the residents of Aberdeen and nearby communities will benefit from this exceptional development. The Villas can truly be a home for all age groups.”

River City Enterprises serves as general contractor for the project while Bernard Decosse Architecture provided the comprehensive architectural services for this residential development.

“We’re excited to help introduce a property that exceeds homeowner expectations in Kamloops,” said Deborah Petersmeyer and Dave Peressini, Royal Lepage Realty. “Craftsman Ventures have trusted our extensive knowledge and experience in the market, and The Villas residents will be pleased with the levels of modern design and attention to detail that has been delivered.”

“Stop by this Saturday and tour our show home, enjoy some freshly baked goods and a hot beverage and have a chance to win one of several gift cards that will be given away throughout the day.”, said Stacey Cook, Marketing Manager.
