Important Update - January 5, 2008
The past year (2007) has been very productive, as Calterra Country Estates
completed the subdivision and title registrations of acreage lots in its
current phases (Phase 2 & Phase 4), and as Mountain Lynn Estates completed
the subdivision and title registrations of acreage lots in Phase 5
just prior to the end of 2007. We anticipate that 2008 will
provide a lot of activity in both developments as the new roadways will be
paved and clients proceed with design and construction of their custom estate homes
on the new acreage lots.
Clients that have not been able to contact us recently or have the opportunity
to meet with us can contact us again to discuss their plans or opportunity
to build on one of these estate lots We don't anticipate any
additional lots in the near future, but we may still have a few lots possibly
available at this time for suitable clients. The lots in both
developments offer excellent pricing (starting at $335,000), rare market availability,
estate-style development and lot sizes, superior panoramic views, and
premium location, providing one of the best values in the Calgary area.
Clients interested in either Calterra or Mountain Lynn lots can contact us
using the contact information form or e-mail links on the Contact Information page.
Important Update - August 1, 2007
The long-awaited annexation by the City of Calgary has now received
final approvals, with an immediate effective date.
The new Calgary boundaries are based on the negotiated annexation areas
indicated in the last publicly-released annexation map.
The effect of this annexation on Calterra Country Estates is that
the development is now located only 1/2 mile north of the new Calgary city boundaries.
No other effects are anticipated at this time.
We will provide more updated information as it becomes available, as well as
information on the progress of the Stoney Trail construction (expected to be
completed later next year) and the progress on the new regional super mall
and race track / entertainment complex at Balzac.
Important Update - January 25, 2006
There have been many newspaper articles and announcements about the current
developments around Balzac. One of the latest is the proposal by
United Horsemen of Alberta (UHA) and Ivanhoe Cambridge for construction of a
large regional shopping mall and racetrack facility centre on the southeast corner
of Hwy.2 and Hwy.566 (directly southeast of Balzac, and approximately 3 1/2
miles east of Calterra).
The Retail and Racing Entertainment Centre (RREC) combines the previously-planned
Genesis commercial development with UHA's racetrack facility in a single
comprehensive world-class regional shopping mall and entertainment centre.
Ivanhoe Cambridge currently operates many large shopping centres, including Calgary's
Market Mall, Deerfoot Mall, Southcentre Mall and Sunridge Mall.
United Horsemen of Alberta are constructing Southern Alberta's only Class "A"
racetrack for thoroughbred and standardbred horse racing, taking over the racing
venue from Calgary Stampede.
You can click on the following links to see the color brochure outlining the
new proposed Retail & Racing Entertainment Centre.
The proposal is currently undergoing regulatory amendments and approvals, with
preliminary plans to start construction in the summer of 2006, and planned
completion of the centre in late 2007. With the planned completion of
the Stoney Trail ring road also planned in late 2007, the location of the RREC centre
would provide excellent access and premium location for what could well become one
of Southern Alberta's primary destinations of choice.

Important Update - November 9, 2005
After several years of ongoing negotiations, the City of Calgary has released a
new annexation proposal.
The new proposal doubles the area requested for annexation north of Calgary
from 10 square miles to 20 square miles along Calgary's north boundary.
Like the original annexation proposal in 2002, this annexation proposal would
place Calgary city limits 1/2 mile south of Calterra Country Estates.
Although this announcement is only a proposal and subject to changes and revisions
in the future, the announcement also identified the target date for the actual
annexation as January 1, 2007.
There are no effects on Calterra at this time, but we will attempt to keep
our clients informed of any changes or effects on Calterra Country Estates
if the annexation plan area changes.
For those who missed the newspaper articles, Homburg Invest Inc. announced on
October 27, 2005, the purchase of another property in the Calgary annexation zone.
The property is apparently located at the southeast corner of Hwy. 566 and Hwy.782
intersection, west of Homburg's other development parcel (Homburg Springs),
and 1/2 mile southeast of Calterra Country Estates.
The announcement stated the development, called Homburg Springs West, is intended
to be a mix of residential and retail commercial development with estimates of
over 400,000 sq.ft. of retail space.
The development is expected to start within a year after Calgary annexation is
completed, incorporating the development into Calgary city limits.
Homburg Invest Inc. is a publicly traded Real Estate Investment Fund listed on
the Toronto Stock Exchange.
