For the second year in a row, Woodhaven Edgemont was named Edmonton’s Best New Community by the Canadian Home Builders’ Association-Edmonton Region Awards of Excellence.

This West Edmonton subdivision of the Rohit Group of Companies – which opened with a packed grand opening in September 2019 – is surrounded on three sides by multipurpose walkways along Wedgewood Creek, with no home more than 100 yards from a natural canyon. Rain pond or leisure area.

“We are very excited and delighted to have won this award two years in a row,” said Leanne Ure, Project Manager Rohit Land Development at Woodhaven Edgemont. “We have a ton of unique amenities so it’s nice to see a champion in a row.”

The 2021 edition of the awards will take place on June 19. However, Woodhaven Edgemont was the only entrant named when the CHBA-ER released the list of finalists.

“Personally, I think one of the reasons it won again is because it’s such a unique community for the Edmonton area,” said Kelsey Siemens, senior marketing coordinator for Rohit Land Development, noting that it was out in nature is embedded and there is no through traffic in the neighborhood. “Leanne did a great job building this community. She’s worked to create a lot of the amenities that people will be using … she made the pathways in there, she made the playground open so it’s a full community by day one.

“Our project managers design the communities as if they were living in them,” adds Siemens.

When completed, Woodhaven Edgemont will house around 700 to 800 apartments. Two new phases will be introduced this year.

Woodhaven Edgemont is also a finalist in a number of other Awards of Excellence categories including Best Show Home Parade and Best Website / Mobile App.
