Partnerships
Lamont works with land owners to turn their land into viable and attractive communities. Expertise and careful planning combine to make the best use of land. Landowners often have very personal connections to their land, sometimes going back generations. Lamont respects those relationships, and honours them.
If you have a rural parcel of 80+ acres within the Calgary-Edmonton corridor, or an urban parcel of 5+ acres ready for immediate development, consider Lamont. Our relationships with landowners have taken many forms, including straight sales, partial sale with investment participation, and joint ventures.
We invite you to contact us to discuss further possibilities. You’ll gain more information from our experience, and you might gain a new perspective and appreciation for your land.
We are stronger together. Lamont works with others in the development industry to complement skills, combine expertise, and collaborate to ensure that our projects are the best that they can be.
Building a Greener Planet
Mark Twain once said, “Buy land. They aren’t making any more of it.” That may be true, but is all land created equal?
For many years, part of what is now Bridlewood in Calgary’s southwest was considered “undevelopable” because of a 12-acre slough believed to be fed by underground streams. What that meant was, it was “undevelopable” in the traditional sense of bringing in heavy machinery and filling the slough to create more room for more houses.
At Lamont, we looked at it carefully and a little differently. It turned out that the slough wasn’t fed by underground streams. We found a way to regulate the water level by using water from storm water drains. In the process, we were able to not only save but enhance a wetland habitat for ducks, frogs, songbirds, dragonflies and many other species that otherwise would have disappeared from the community forever.
Today, residents of Bridlewood consider the wetland one of the community’s greatest assets, and the development model that we used in Bridlewood has provided inspiration for other communities. It’s just one example of how Lamont respects land, and how that respect for our earth creates better communities.
So, all land may not be created equal, but it’s all just a matter of perspective.
