Buying at The Shores While Construction Is Underway
Sales and construction are underway at The Shores at Alces. Purchasing during construction gives buyers the opportunity to choose from currently available homes and locations while planning ahead for financing, selections, and possession.
Choose from current availability. Depending on the stage of sales and construction, buyers may be able to select from different models, orientations, and home locations throughout the development.
Personalize available selections. Homes that are early enough in construction may offer a choice of available interior colour palettes and selections. Options become more limited as construction advances.
Plan ahead for possession. Purchasing while a home is under construction gives buyers time to arrange financing, prepare for their move, and stay informed as construction progresses toward completion.
What to Know Before Buying at The Shores at Alces
The Shores at Alces is being developed as a bareland condominium. This structure combines individual ownership of the home and land within the condominium unit boundaries with shared responsibility for defined common property through the condominium corporation.
Current expectations are that condominium contributions will be approximately $90 per month once the condominium corporation and operating budget are established. The final contribution, what it covers, and how costs are allocated will be determined through the registered condominium documents and approved budget.
Buyers should review the condominium plan, bylaws, budget, disclosure documents, and associated ownership responsibilities as part of their purchase decision. The Government of Alberta provides additional information about condominium ownership in Alberta.
New homes at The Shores are also protected through Alberta’s mandatory new home warranty program. Buyers can review the prescribed coverage periods for labour and materials, distribution systems, building envelope components, and structural components through the Government of Alberta’s new home warranty information.

Basement Development and Legal Suite Options
Basement options at The Shores at Alces depend on the model and configuration of the home. All Heron and Sandpiper homes can accommodate finished basement development, while the three-storey Kestrel and Wren use their ground levels for garage and entry space and do not offer basement development.
Select Heron homes can also accommodate a legal secondary suite. This option is limited to Heron homes located at the exterior end of a threeplex, fourplex, or fiveplex, where an exterior side entrance can be provided. Interior Heron homes can still accommodate finished basement development but are not configured for a legal secondary suite.
All Sandpiper homes can accommodate finished basement development for additional personal living space such as a recreation room, home office, guest area, or other flexible space. Sandpiper homes are not configured for legal secondary suites.
Legal secondary suites must comply with applicable municipal zoning, permitting, building, fire safety, egress, parking, and other requirements. Buyers considering a legal suite should review the City of Edmonton’s secondary suite requirements and confirm that the specific Heron home they are considering is configured with an exterior side entrance.
Financing can also affect how buyers approach a legal suite. The guide to financing a legal secondary suite in Edmonton explains how Purchase Plus Improvements financing may work for eligible buyers.
Buyers can also use the site’s mortgage calculator to estimate monthly payments when comparing available homes and financing scenarios.
Planning Your Townhome Purchase
Buying a new construction townhome involves more than choosing a floor plan. Buyers may also want to consider financing, available government programs, estimated monthly payments, construction timing, condominium ownership, and how their preferred home fits their longer-term plans.
Eligible first-time buyers may be able to use programs such as the First Home Savings Account or Home Buyers’ Plan, while qualifying purchasers may also be eligible for applicable GST relief or rebates. Program eligibility and requirements depend on individual circumstances and current government rules.
Explore additional home buying resources, use the mortgage calculator to estimate monthly payments, or review the GST rebate calculator when planning your purchase.
