eople often think of ‘dream house’
when the subject of homebuilders
comes up, but one Canadian builder
is setting the standards high with random
acts of kindness. In addition to providing
financial support to various deserving Cal-
garians who have selflessly given back to
the community, Broadview Homes Cal-
gary opened up its show homes to house
families during the Calgary flood in 2013.
“We were on the phone day and night,
helping families. What really shocked me
was talking to each and every one of these
families. Our whole staff was touched by
it,” said Peter-JohnWoolf, vice president at
Broadview Homes Calgary.
The company’s social heart can be traced
all the way back to its inception.
Based in both Calgary and Winnipeg,
Broadview Homes is a subsidiary of Quali-
co, which is one of Western Canada’s larg-
est privately owned real estate companies.
The reason behind its immediate success
in the Calgary housing market was due to
affordability. At the time of its founding in
1988, Broadview Homes helped a lot of
people enter the market by delivering af-
fordable homes. The company has been
“We’ve got such a talented design team that moving walls is easy.”
