Craig Foley, Vice President of Gibraltar Development, says the company is delighted with the award. It underlines the success of East Village where Gibraltar’s homes have sold particularly well:

“We constructed a new city street connecting Quidi Vidi Road to Cuckhold’s Cove Road. This new street has been named ‘Regiment Road’, evoking the military history of the region. We started home construction in the late fall of 2004. Within eleven months, no less than 25 of the homeshad been constructed, sold and occupied.”

Out of a total project consisting of 30 homes, only five now remain on the market - two are available for immediate occupancy and the other three will become available late this winter or early spring.

All properties in this development were custom designed by David Kelly, P.Eng., President of Gibraltar Development, and are priced from $180,000 to $350,000. The five remaining on the market are between $232,000 and $280,000.
 

Four consecutive years

East, west and central, Gibraltar’s homes have brought a level of quality and distinction to the inventory of homes in the capital region. The company’s first Builder of the Year (multi family) award (2002) was for Brittany on Bond, an eight-unit executive brownstone project on Bond Street, overlooking St. John’s harbour. The second was for West Highlands (2003), a 10-unit townhome development located at the corner of Empire Avenue and Newtown Road. The third (2004) was for Hillview Trails, a 16- unit semi-detached project off Southside Road. Builder of the Year awards are made by the Canadian Home Builders Association - Eastern Newfoundland.

Gibraltar Development Limited principals (in addition to Craig Foley), include Frank Foley, Director, a noted homebuilder in this region for some years with Dave Kelly, P.Eng., as President. The company has been a strong supporter of the Canadian Home Builders Association - Eastern Newfoundland - Frank Foley is a two-time Past President of the organization.
 

 
All homes at East Village at Quidi Vidi offer beautifully functional living spaces and open concepts associated with Gibraltar’s custom and award winning designs.

At East Village, urban living is balanced with outport charm. These rugged hills, sheltering coves and harbours, have seen episodes of history that helped shape The New World. Today, this heritage is still in evidence. As a location in which to own residential property, Gibraltar’s East Village is a unique combination of home quality and character location.
 

Gibraltar’s next and current project

In addition to putting the finishing touches on the highly popular East Village project, Gibraltar is now developing Phase II of East Point Landing

Gibraltar Developments is currently the primary builder of East Point Landing, a community within St. John’s and accessed off Logy Bay Road opposite NTV - OZ FM.

A family-oriented subdivision, Gibraltar has no less than 350 house plans from which prospective buyers can choose. “Or,” says Vice President Craig Foley, “buyers can bring in their ideas and work with our staff on formalizing those ideas as buildering plans.”

Sales in Phase II of East Point Landing are proceeding briskly, with only in the order of 17 lots remaining at this date to be purchased. Phase III is expected to start this coming spring and will offer a further 50 building lots. This phase backs on prestigious King William Estates.
