The TRC Projects Ltd. has taken over the well-known Parkside Place development in downtown Invermere and is putting a fresh stamp on the place. 

TRC Projects Ltd. has previously built and sold 21 houses in Radium Hot Springs. “We’re selling to people that want to live there full-time, and more and more people want to come out there and live here full-time,” said Kevin Blackwell, developer and owner of TRC Projects Ltd. 

The company acquired Parkside Place in December 2020 from another local building company. TRC projects Ltd. tweaked the plans, but will continue developing the original numbers of fourplexes for a total of eight townhouses to complete Parkside Place. The development has been constructed in partnership with Kris Newman Building Construction, a company that has built hundreds of homes in the Columbia Valley.

These townhouses have two or three bedrooms, as well as a two-car garage. “In my opinion, it is one of the best locations of all availabilities in Invermere. It’s on a quiet street, but half a street from the main street. You can walk to the grocery store, the coffee shops, the restaurants and the beach. You can enjoy Invermere walking,” explained Blackwell.

Building materials include an ICF concrete foundation, concrete party walls, and wood frame walls. “They’re also more energy efficient in the foundation because there is insulation on both sides of both walls. They are very well sealed,” explained Blackwell to the Pioneer.

The sale process has just begun, and it’s a good time for the buyer to choose a unit and begin to envision the house’s finishing touches, such as the colours of the walls and flooring. Owners will be able to take possession of the property during the months of October through December. 

If you’d like to see the finished product, TRC projects Ltd. has a show home base in Radium for a short period of time. For more information, visit: parksideplace.ca.
