In the fall of 2016, a fellow named Athar Alvi came into my office in Bragg Creek. He said that he had recently been let go from his job in Fort McMurray and decided to use his severance package to fund a dream he has always had – to be a movie director and producer. He had written a script and hired a professional cameraperson and a couple of professional actors. He had started filming and was looking for a location to shoot a certain scene. He asked if I knew of a place in the Bragg Creek area that would work. I told him "Yes, I do. Let me make a call." The call was successful, introductions were made, and everything worked out.

Calgary's Red Mile is about to be transformed into the city's "cool street" in developer Frank Lonardelli's already unfolding vision.

Mortgage broker Chris Richards and his wife added a secondary suite to their home when their adult children moved out.

His intent was not only to make use of the extra space, but also to follow the advice he gives, particularly to first-time homebuyers, that secondary suites can expand both income and buying power.

Every home tells a story, one that unfolds over time. Our home is where we raise our family, cook Thanksgiving feasts and have coffee with the neighbours. It's where we envision our dreams, play with the family pooch and escape from the hectic happenings of the world.

Creating the stage for those stories to unfold is the driving force behind luxury custom builder Capstone Custom Homes.

Whether you're building a $1-million-plus customized dream home or your family's first abode, the key is finding a place that fits your lifestyle.

Are green spaces and parks most important? Do you need quick access to roadways or transit to take you to work? Are shops and restaurants nearby? Are there schools for your kids or places to walk your dog?

"Tela" is Italian for "fabric," and that word provided the inspiration for the tela condominium development in the heart of Calgary's trendy Mission neighbourhood.

While you might regret measuring your waist, accurate and consistent property measurements are time and money well spent. That's why measuring residential property is mandatory for real estate professionals licensed by the Real Estate Council of Alberta. Governed by the Residential Measurement Standard, these calculations provide buyers and sellers with reliable property size and dimensions to help inform their decisions.
