Calgary, AB (PRWEB) December 22, 2008 -- In a recent Calgary Herald Poll, Genstar Development's Evergreen, a residential community in southwest Calgary, was ranked #1 by readers in the "New Community" category. This is the third time this Calgary-based land developer has earned this distinction.

"Evergreen was one of the first communities in Calgary to embrace the idea of life cycle living," explains Paul Boskovich, development manager. "It offers an ideal balance of residential and commercial real estate, with contemporary housing options ranging from condos to estate homes. Master builders include: Homes by Avi, California Homes, Cardel, Jayman, Cedarglen and Carolina Homes."

One of Evergreen's main attractions is its proximity to Fish Creek Provincial Park. In addition to this expanse of natural parkland it exceeds City of Calgary criteria for green space, featuring more parks than any other residential community in Calgary. Schools are under construction and all service amenities are in place. It is also just minutes award from two C-Train stations and the Shawnessy commercial shopping district.

Although still considered to be a "new" neighborhood, Evergreen has been under development in Calgary for eight years and it has already attracted more than 2,000 new residents. Two phases remain and 11 new show homes continue to attract new home buyers.

"Genstar views Evergreen as one of our flagship projects," adds Boskovich. "We've invested heavily in this community and receiving a 'gold' in the Readers' Choice Awards is a testament to the innovation and dedication that has been put into this project. We are honoured that Calgarians acknowledge that Evergreen offers more than your average housing development."
