From sitting in a barren field to unveiling their latest in a string of successful housing projects, it's fair to say the last three years have been kind to Trimount Developments.
The company held a grand opening Thursday for the North Point condominium project and Fairview Villas, a collection of duplexes.
Both projects are located in the Dominion Heights subdivision, an area that Trimount has been developing for just over a year.
Mike Reinheller, who is one of three partners in Trimount, said they are excited about the new project and the public reaction as six of the 39 condos in the first phase of North Point are already sold.
"I really get the sense that people don't about it yet," said Reinheller who added that four of the 16 duplexes they plan to build have also been spoken for. "People like the duplexes. We found that once we did 117 condo units (at Petterson Point) we kind of saturated the market for that year. There is pent up demand for single family and we did our best to satisfy that for a bit and now we are getting back into the higher density condominiums and duplexes."
Reinheller said he expects the first duplexes to be ready by February while work on the first phase of North Point will start in September with a late April, early May finish date.
Trimount first entered the Estevan market with their Petterson Point condo development in the Trojan subdivision. They further cemented their presence in Estevan after purchasing 86 acres of land in the Dominion Heights area. When fully built out, Reinheller said 700 residences will have been created between the single family lots and multi-family developments.
"I feel like we have pedal to the metal ever since we started construction," he said. "As quick as we can build them, we are selling them. The big thing that we had to build with Estevan was respect and trust. I feel like we have gotten that with the community and we just have to maintain it and keep doing what we say we are going to do."
Reinheller said Trimount also has plans to develop a park in the Dominion Heights area that will include a pathway system, spray park and picnic area.
"It will be a nice central location for families to come and enjoy."
