Westhills to Host Ribbon-Cutting Event to Celebrate 1,000th New Home Milestone

LANGFORD, BC, April 23, 2024 /CNW/ - Westhills, the vibrant 517-acre master-planned community in Langford, BC, is proud to announce a significant achievement ? the construction of its 1,000th home. To celebrate this major milestone, Westhills and the City of Langford will host a ribbon-cutting event on Monday, April 29th, 2024.

Local media, City of Langford representatives and Westhills staff are invited to gather at the 1,000th home to mark the occasion with speeches by Mayor Goodmanson, Westhills leadership, and a Westhills resident.

The event will be an opportunity to celebrate the development's impact in building a thriving community, home to approximately 3,300 residents. Every new home has been Built Green^TM Certified, spanning a diverse range of housing types including 683 single-family homes, 203 townhomes and 114 condos.

"Completing the construction of our 1,000th home is a tremendous accomplishment for Westhills," says Ryan McKenzie, Manager of Westhills. "This number represents thousands of individuals and families who now call Westhills home. We are incredibly grateful to our employees, residents, the City of Langford, the builders, and the partners who have helped us achieve this feat. With this milestone, we are celebrating the development of Westhills and the many people who have helped build our community."

The completion of the 1,000th home is just the beginning for Westhills. The development has plans in place to provide thousands of additional homes, along with retailers, offices, parks and recreational sites. 

McKenzie adds, "Looking to the future, Westhills is focused on building a strong, diverse community while addressing the critical need for additional housing in the region."

Community members can look forward to much more from Westhills in the months to come. The latest condominium project, Solaris, will welcome its first residents in May, adding 130 new housing units. In June, Westhills will host a block party for residents to celebrate the development's 1,000th home milestone and thank the community for making it possible.
