“The concept for us is we’re building your home inside our walls” says Peter Brady of Trophy Property Corp. as he makes his way through The Newcastle the 15-unit condominium complex being built by Greystone Construction in Minden’s downtown.

The studs are going up at the building located between Newcastle Street and Pritchard Lane the rooms beginning to take shape.

“We’re over half sold” Brady says.

The full range of unit options – ranging in size from about 850 to some 2000 square feet – is still available at this point residents choosing not only the configuration of their living spaces but the finishes as well.

“They pick the flooring the countertops the cupboards . . . everything you select yourself” Brady says.

Designer Andria Cowan Molyneaux of ACM Designs has partnered with Greystone and Trophy on the project and specializes in aging-in-place designs.

Units come with walkouts on the lower level and balconies on the upper two Brady emphasizing the balconies offer privacy from neighbours.

The upper floors offer views over the village.

Each unit is outfitted with large windows and comes with six appliances.

Other custom features – stool-height countertops for instance – can be constructed and Brady points out that the company always strives to offer residents what they want – whether that be an area to garden or in one case electronic dog fencing.

Located near the area where the Minden farmers’ market takes place each Saturday Brady says some market-goers have been on tours of the building and that tours can be arranged for those interested in buying.
