Phil and Louise Landry have been preparing for the launch of the spectacular development that is known as Nature's Haven Parkland Estates & Adult Living Complex  for a long time. They are the owners of the land which is located at the extension of St. Michel Street in a section of Ward Six East known as Hanmer. They are responsible for initiating the project at this time.

One of the reasons for moving forward with the development at this time is that as a community, WARD SIX has come of age. The combined population of Hanmer and Val Therese is approximately 15,000 and WARD SIX has become one of the fastest growing regions of Greater Sudbury. It is now being recognized as the preferred choice for many new people moving into the area. People want to live in community that offers important quality of life values without having to give up the many benefits of urban society.

 
"JUST FAR ENOUGH AWAY FROM THE CITY LIFE"

Phil and Louise have been watching quietly as WARD SIX has been going through a transformation during the past decade that has caught many people by surprise. In fact, most of the current residents of Greater Sudbury will be amazed at what this part of the city has turned in to during that time. What was once thought of as farm land has developed into a very attractive residential settlement in which many major retailers have also established in order to be in a position when this community reached its tipping point.

New residents find that WARD SIX is "Just far enough away from the city to give you that country living feeling, and just close enough to the city for you to enjoy the benefits the city has to offer". In fact, you are just 20 minutes away from Lasalle Blvd. from Nature's Haven Parkland Estates & Adult Living Complex, which is located at the northeast corner of Ward Six.

NATURE'S HAVEN - THE TIPPING POINT

Most experts we have spoken with agree that the final "tipping point" that will push WARD SIX "over the top" is the new Nature's Haven Parkland Estates & Adult Living Complex which is being developed at the end of St. Michel Street in the small community of Hanmer, located at the far side of WARD SIX EAST.

Nature's Haven Parkland Estates & Adult Living Complex will eventually expand to contain up to 151 single unit modern homes, 42 semi-detached homes, and a 120 unit apartment complex in a gated-community styled setting sprawling over approximately 77 acres of some of the best land in the region.

MUCH MORE THAN JUST A SUBDIVISION

Nature's Haven Parkland Estates & Adult Living Complex is not going to be the last development for Phil and Louise Landry. It is the first of what is expected to be several such residential developments.

In this, as well as in all future Nature's Haven developments, the fundamental principle which become clearly evident to all is that the "Nature's Haven" Lifestyle Concept will work its way though the fibre of the entire community. This is not just going to be a place where you can buy land and build a house. It is going to be a place where you can enjoy a lifestyle and a quality of life that includes all of the values which are important to people of all ages today.

"NATURE'S HAVEN" IS A WAY OF LIFE

"Nature's Haven" refers to a "way of life" that Phil and Louise wanted to create for "everyone" living in and around Nature's Haven Parkland Estates & Adult Living Complex. While developing the Parkland Estates & Adult Living Complex, we will also be actively involved in helping residents in other parts of the community enjoy a better quality of life. We will be working with playground associations, schools, churches, and organizations to make the community a much more attractive place in which to live. We will be helping to improve community pride and demonstrating to everyone that WARD SIX, and in particular, our little corner of Greater Sudbury known as Hanmer, is one of the best places to live, no matter what your age.

With Nature's Haven Parkland Estates & Adult Living Complex we intend to show what a "Nature's Haven" development will mean to a community. Wherever you see a "Nature's Haven" development, you will know that we will not just be creating another subdivision - we will be creating a way of life that will benefit the entire community. 

YOU ASKED FOR IT AND WE DELIVERED

Phil and Louise Landry have spoken to countless numbers of people over the years and they have constantly been told what people wanted to see in a community. In designing Nature's Haven Parkland Estates & Adult Living Complex, Phil and Louise have incorporated just about everything that was deemed to be important to the people with whom they spoke.

Phil is proud to declare, "You asked for it and we delivered."

I now invite you to read on and discover why Nature's Haven Parkland Estates & Adult Living Complex will immediately become the development of choice for new homebuilders. WARD SIX is the perfect place for the first "Nature's Haven" development, and you have our guarantee that it will only become better as we turn WARD SIX into a "Nature's Haven Community".

WARD SIX - WE HAVE IT ALL!!!!

 STREET MAP OF WARD SIX
With a population of over 15,000 people, WARD SIX has become one of the fastest growing sections of the City of Greater Sudbury. Despite the tremendous growth, WARD SIX is still one of the least congested segments of the region. Consider that it takes only five minutes to drive from one end of Ward Six to the other and that there is only ONE traffic light needed to control the flow of vehicles in the community! It is a community that has it all, but we still maintain a quality of life that is the envy of everyone in the region.

LOOK AT WHAT WARD SIX HAS TO OFFER RESIDENTS OF NATURE'S HAVEN PARKLAND ESTATES & CONDOMINIUMS

The growth of the retail sector in Ward Six over the past several years has been truly amazing. Larger corporations do their homework and they have all recognized the growth potential of this area of Greater Sudbury. They realize that a place like Nature's Haven Parkland Estates & Adult Living Complex is exactly what people of today are looking for. People would rather shop in smaller stores where they know they will receive personal service and attention. They do not want to battle the crowds and the traffic, but they do want to receive the benefits of competitive pricing that one normally finds in larger box stores. Ward Six offers shoppers an ideal solution to their needs. You have a mix of large national chain stores that are just the right size: not too big and not too small. This means that you get national pricing with excellent selection. You also have a wide variety of boutiques which offer unique styles and choices from which to choose. Best of all, the time you save from not driving into the city and from spending time in long line-ups at larger box stores enables you to enjoy the quality of life experiences you are seeking as a member of a "Nature's Haven Community".

The Hanmer Valley Shopping Centre is the 3rd largest indoor shopping centre in Greater Sudbury. It is also one of the very first indoor malls ever build in Northern Ontario. This has become the community centre, not only for retail and professional services, but also for schools, churches, organizations and groups wishing to increase their profile and raise funds for their own activities. Just consider what you will find, seven days a week, only minutes away from your doorstep at Nature's Haven Parkland Estates & Adult Living Complex  when you pull into the parking lot of the Hanmer Valley Shopping Centre.
