FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: HOW MUCH DO UNITS COST?
A: Over 75% of units will be in the mid 300s:
1 Bed, 1 Bath: $294k - $319k inc. GST
2 Bed, 1 Bath: $334k - $359k inc. GST
2 Bed, 2 Bath: $354k - $379k inc. GST
3 Bed, 2 Bath: $389k - $419k inc. GST
Invest early to secure the best pricing! Most developers continually increase prices 10k-20k after enough units have been sold. Buying at the initial launch is the best way to guarantee a gain in equity. This is the first phase of the development and the first condo building to launch in the Huxley community - you are getting in at the bottom.
INSIDER TIPS:
The lowest prices are for ground floor units and there is a $5,000 premium for 2nd floor, $10,000 premium for 3rd floor and $15,000 premium for 4th floor penthouse units.
Q: HOW MUCH IS THE DEPOSIT?
A: The down-payment is depending on the model type:
Models D, E, B: 5% deposit of the purchase price until closing
Here is an example for a $349,900 purchase price:
AT SIGNING = $10,000
REMAINDER TO 5% IN 90 DAYS = $7,495
MODELS A, B: 10% deposit of the purchase price until closing
Here is an example for a $349,900 purchase price:
AT SIGNING = $10,000
REMAINDER TO 5% IN 30 DAYS = $7,495
2.5% IN 365 DAYS (1YR) = $8,748
2.5% IN 540 DAYS (1.5YRs) = $8748
TOTAL DEPOSIT: $34,990
Q: HOW DOES THE RENTAL GUARANTEE WORK?
The Rental Guarantee is for 2 years starting at closing:
– MODEL D (1 bed, 1 Bath): $1,425
– MODEL E (1 bed, 1 Bath): $1,475

This is a leaseback program by Truman - essentially they rent the unit from you at closing, then using their in-house property management company, Empire 81, they will rent the unit to an actual tenant. This has HUGE advantages for you:
GUARANTEED RENT: Rates are set today so you know exactly how much you can rent the unit for today, regardless of what happens.
FREE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT: Includes free property management services for 2 years who manage the tenants and unit.
NO VACANCY: You get paid even if the unit sits empty for 24 months.
NO RENTAL COSTS: No matter how many times the unit needs to be rented during the 2 years, there are no costs to you (typically units in Calgary are rented by property management companies and this costs 1/2 a months’ rent + GST)
NO HASSLE: Truman and Empire81 are taking on the rental risk and managing the unit - there is nothing for you to do until 2029!
OPTIONAL: Rents are up over 30% in Calgary YoY so if rents are significantly higher by 2027, you can opt out of the program.
Q: WHEN IS THE EXPECTED COMPLETION DATE?
A: Horizon is expected to close in 2027 - this is the farthest out closing date of any project available in Calgary. Planning and design are already underway for the development and Site preparation and Construction will commence once everything is complete. The developer will communicate a firm month/date approximate 90 days before closing.
Q: IS TRUMAN HOMES A GOOD DEVELOPER?
A: Truman Homes is one of the top and most trust worthy builders in all of Calgary. For over 35 years, Truman has been building properties of exceptional qualify in Calgary and the surrounding areas. Truman is the proud winner of the Buyers Choice Award and is rated Highest Among Purchasers for customer Satisfaction with over 50 awards to their name.

Q: Can I Sell The Unit Before Closing?
A: Yes! This is called an assignment sale and view it as your “escape clause” in case life happens (job loss, death, etc.) and allows you to get out of the contract. I don’t recommend this as an investment strategy because of the new taxes and fees now associated with it (contact me for more details) - buy and hold is how you make serious money in real estate.
Q: Do I Need A Mortgage Now?
A: No, that’s the beauty of pre-construction - you only get the mortgage at closing in 2027. The 10% deposit secures the unit with the developer while it is being built. If you are buying the unit for investment purposes, then you will need another 10% deposit in 2027 (banks will not give you a mortgage on an investment property unless you have 20% down at closing). If you plan on living in the unit, then you can put down as little as 5% with CHMC insurance.
I always recommend getting a mortgage pre-approval now so that you can be confident you won’t have any issues at closing - contact me if you need a referral to a Mortgage Broker!
Q: How Much Are Closing Costs?
A: Budget for around $1,500 including the lawyer fees. Yes, this is ridiculously low and is one of the best parts about investing in Calgary:
NO Land Transfer Tax
NO Development Charges
NO HST or PST
.
Q: Do Appliances Come With The Unit?
A: Units come fully kitted out with integrated Stainless Steel Appliances, Dishwasher, Stacked Washer/Drier, Kitchen Islands per plan, Quartz Counters & Backsplash, Pot Lights throughout.
Q: How Much Are the Condo Fees?
A: Condo fees are estimated at $0.46/sf (a 650sf unit would have roughly $300/mo. condo fees). Condo fees cover all utilities except for electricity which is metered separately.
Q: When Will Construction Commence
A: Planning and design are already underway. Site preparation and construction is scheduled to begin in 2024.
Q: How Much Is Parking?
Q: Because I get Platinum Access, one parking space is included with every unit for FREE. Parking stalls are legally titled separately. Parking is assigned by the builder and parking locations cannot be requested.
Q: How Much Is A Locker?
A: Locker are $5,000 + GST Extra. This is just added to the total purchase price.
Q: Are Airbnb and Short-Term Rentals Allowed?
A: YES! There is no restriction or limitation to short-term rentals. The City of Calgary requires a business license which costs $100. A risk with any condo building in Canada is that the Board of Directors of the building can restrict short-term rentals in their bylaws if they decide to. Calgary tends to be very pro-business, anti-government so it is unlikely any restrictions will be put in place and Horizon has no restrictions in the initial bylaws.
I have a partnership with a fantastic local turnkey Airbnb provider in Calgary with over 1500 5* Reviews - contact me if you are interested to learn more.
Q: How Do I Reserve A Unit?
A: To ensure you are at the front of the line when the project launches, simply complete the Unit Registration Form - it only takes a minute and there is no obligation
Q: Can I Become A Condo Millionaire Too?
A: Yes, all it takes is one property and TIME!
