When Phil and Louise Landry first looked over the property at the end of St. Michel Street in Hanmer, they both visualized a future development which would be much more than just a place to live for hundreds of local residents. They realized that what they were looking at was an opportunity to create a whole new concept in living. A place where young and old alike could enjoy the peacefulness that comes with having a home that was right in the middle of a natural parkland: a place where quality of life would become a lifestyle - not a slogan.

This became their goal. They wanted to build a small community within a community that would give older residents a chance to retire in dignity and comfort and they also wanted to provide young families with a place where raising children would be a joy, not a chore. This was what people they spoke to were looking for as well. Phil and Louise saw that they had an opportunity to deliver what the people wanted, and the rest is history.

"Louise and I wanted to create a place that would be more than just a collection of homes," explained Phil. "We remember what it was like when people first moved to Valley East. The lots were large and you felt you were surrounded by nature.  

We decided that we did not want to be remembered as just another developer who was trying to put up a collection of houses. Instead, we are offering a variety of "homes" to suit most lifestyles. That is why we feel Nature's Haven Parkland Estates & Adult Living Complex will be one of the most desirable places to live in the Greater Sudbury Area. It is all about the lifestyle you find in our development and within our community."

Before long, Phil, who has always been involved in construction, erected his own home at the beginning of the property. Then he set the wheels in motion to create the plans and go through the approval process with the city to bring the development to where it is today. Soon, hundreds of residents will be living in Nature's Haven Parkland Estates & Adult Living Complex, a testament to Phil and Louise who can now say, "You asked for it and we delivered."


        

When setting out to develop Nature's Haven Parkland Estates & Adult Living Complex our goal was to create and deliver superior value based on benefits per cost that addressed the real needs of people who are in search of a new home. 

We also wanted to make it clear that we could provide our customers with the best alternative for meeting these needs. 

In order to make sure that we were meeting the needs of future home owners, we asked and we listened to hundreds of people over the years. We fully realize that homeowner's needs are constantly changing.

We listened to town planners, community leaders, architects and interior designers;

But most of all, we listened to people who currently live in homes and those searching for a new home.

We listened to people's dreams and expectations, needs and hopes. 

We then make a commitment to help people realize their dreams and that is what Nature's Haven Parkland Estates & Adult Living Complex is all about.
  
As we listened to all of the people over the years, we discovered what you really want when you are looking for a new home: 

We discovered the following:

  1. You want spacious lots. You do not want to feel crowded by your neighbours. 
      
  2. You want a good-sized yard. You do not want the house of your dreams taking up most of the room on your lot. Most importantly you want "frontage" so that you can get to your back yard if you need to bring in boats, trailers, etc.
      
  3. You want to feel safe in your home and you want your children to be safe playing in the neighbourhood.
     
  4. You want to be far enough away from the city, but still close enough for work, shopping and recreation.
      
  5. You want to be in a community which can provide you with most of the goods and services you need to meet your particular lifestyle and family requirements.
      
  6. You want to live in a place where you can feel part of a community and where you can get involved with neighbours in satisfying and worthwhile activities.
      
  7. You want a home where you feel you are getting the best value for your investment.
      
  8. You want a home which will have a good resale value should you ever decide to move.
      
  9. You want the option of living in a single detached home or in a condominium.
       
  10. You want to live in a subdivision where neighbours share your values.
What we discovered from speaking and listening to people was that they were not just looking for the right house. 

They were looking for the right place in which to live.

In other words, you can find empty lots just about anywhere in the area. You can then build the house of your dreams on that lot simply by finding a design and a builder to put the house up. But that isn't enough to make you happy. 

What is most important is "where" your dream home is located and that you feel a sense of pride in your community. You want to feel good about the community in which you are living. When you tell people where you live, you want to do so with a sense of pride.

People begged us to take care of the "locational" needs first. They asked us to make sure that we took care of the personal and emotional needs - the quality of life issues - and then they would build their dream home on our lots.

And so we listened, and we delivered.
