Construction is ready to begin on 54 new homes in Woodstock. Geranium Homes held a launch event today, hilighting their Energy Start rating of their homes set to go up in the Sally Creek subdivision. So far, 5 homes, including 3 model homes have been built. Geranium Corporation President Boaz Feiner (In photo with other Geranium, Enerquality officials and Woodstock Mayor Pat Sobeski) says the focus is on building quality and efficiency. "We fancy ourselves as a 'behind the wall builder'. We take a lot of pride in that, so we spend a lot of time on our built form. Everything you don't see, which really gives that assurance to you as a purchaser, to know that your home is built properly for years and years to come." Homes in the subdivision range from $290,000 - $425,000. Geranium has also finished Phase 1 of 3 of a recreation centre for the residents. Phase one features a large banquet hall with a kitchen, bar and lounge/card room. Next phases will include a swimming pool, sauna, fitness area, workshops and craft rooms. Feiner says they've fielded quite a few inquiries so far. "There has been a lot of interest, which is great, and it's calling from all over southern Ontario, which is very interesting. You try to designate where people would come from, but we're seeing people from out of province to people in Woodstock to people from Burlington and as far as Markham, so you know it's really a large pool of people looking to land in Woodstock and it's really encouraging."
