There are only three lots left in Phase I at The Ridge in Courtenay. Two of these lots are zoned for duplexes and there is one single family lot available.

Developers have begun site preparation for Phase II which will contain 43 single family lots. This subdivision will be completed in the early spring and registration is expected to completed on all of the lots by the end of April 2017.

Sixty-six of the lots have already been sold in Phase I and many homes, some with secondary suites, have already been built in the master-planned community. The Ridge is one of the most desirable locations for new homes in the Comox Valley.

Give the developer a call and have your name added to the reservation list, so that they can contact you when the lots are available to purchase.

The newest home at The Gales in Ladysmith, Unit # 8, comes with a feature list that reads like a Christmas wish list. Everything you could want and more! Imagine hanging your stocking on the mantle of the Napolean gas fireplace in the Great Room of this Built Green Certified Home.

This new Vancouver Island luxury patio home features: Lectus Maple cabinetry throughout; Kitchen Aid stainless steel appliances; Granite countertops in kitchen, ensuite and guest bath; heated tile floors in all bathrooms; and European French White Oak Matte, Wire Brush Engineered floor on the main floor. More luxury touches include Kohler plumbing fixtures, designer lights and 3 ceiling fans.

Next week marks the kickoff of the annual Ladysmith Festival of Lights. More than 1,000 volunteer hours go into setting up the festive decorations and 200,000 sparkling lights. The Town of Ladysmith has been a huge supporter of the Festival of lights since the beginning, helping make Ladysmith the Light Up Capital of Vancouver Island.

Service clubs like the Rotary Club and Eagles, along with many other organizations and downtown merchants have been major supporters of the F.O.L. for years. The Festival of Lights' biggest “sponsors” are the residents of Ladysmith, whose ever-increasing core of volunteers enhances the essence of our community and makes Light Up what it is today - a celebration of the spirit of the town and the coming of happy holidays and Christmas.

This year, award-winning GNB Builders, brought out a full crew to help set up the lights throughout downtown Ladysmith. GNB Builders are big part of the community, and are currently working on building new homes at The Gales in Ladysmith.

The Gales is nestled between the sea and the mountains - a retreat from the hustle and bustle of modern life. The Gales is a 68 home development (42 patio homes & 26 condos in two condo buildings) with ocean and mountain views. Every residence at The Gales is inspiring. Vaulted ceilings, spacious rooms, and impressive views are only the beginning. You'll also find top-quality finishing and amazing attention to detail. Grounds keeping is included, so you can enjoy relaxed, low-maintenance living and have more time to explore the beauty around you. Homes are designed and built in West Coast contemporary architectural style and floor plans are open, ideal for entertaining. 

Ladysmith is a small and growing town located on a welcoming, active harbour, a spectacular hill-side setting, an historic heritage and a large range of activities for residents and visitors to delight in.

With an aging population on Vancouver Island, health care is a major concern for residents and for those considering retiring to the Island. The Comox Valley is well-positioned to care for an aging population, thanks in part to the ongoing North Island Hospital Project, which is managing the construction of the new Comox Valley Hospital.

Replacing St. Joseph’s General Hospital in Comox, the new hospital now under construction in Courtenay will offer expanded services in a modern setting, and serve residents of the Comox Valley and the North Island. The new hospital is expected to be completed in the fall of 2017.

Access to important services such as health care has been a significant draw for residents retiring to the Comox Valley and Courtenay. The Comox Valley also features a variety of retail, recreational and cultural amenities.

New home developments like The Ridge are able to offer additional benefits that appeal to many baby boomers, including zoning for Carriage Homes or secondary suites for extended family, in-laws or adult children.

With new custom homes starting at $430,000 (including lot and landscaping) building a new home at the Ridge can offer an affordable lifestyle that can be difficult to maintain in larger urban centres.

As cold weather hits across Canada, the Comox Valley continues to be one of the best places in the country to enjoy outdoor activities, such as golf and fishing, year-round.

Residents of The Ridge in Courtenay are a short drive from several golf courses, which remain open 12 months of the year, as well as some of the best winter fishing on the West Coast.

If you prefer more traditional “winter activities” you’ll still find plenty of snow a short drive up Mount Washington, where alpine and cross country skiing, hiking, snowshoeing and more are offered. Ski in the morning, and golf or kayak in the afternoon – our beaches are open year-round!

But if despite it all, you find yourself in need of some summer beach weather, the Comox Airport (YQQ) offers direct flights to Mexico, as well as Western Canadian gateways.

And year-round, living in the Comox Valley means access to theatre and music productions and festivals, fine dining, and an active community with events for every interest.

Be part of this west coast wonderland. Contact The Ridge today, to select your lot or learn more about their preferred builders.
