The Neighbourhoods of Hunt Club: Hunt Club Chase - Sandbury, Cadillac Fairview, et. al.

This is the second in a series about Hunt Club Chase, focusing on the southeast sector of the area where houses were built by Sandbury Homes and Cadillac Fairview. Sandbury Homes constructed an interesting mix of homes that includes a wide range of styles from more traditionally-leaning architecture to designs that have a more contemporary flair. Ottawa Citizen. September 8, 1978 Ottawa Citizen. March 3, 1979 Cadillac Fairview's designs are generally traditionally-inspired, while the Fairfax plan has a decidedly open-concept layout with vaulted ceilings. Ottawa Citizen. August 18, 1979 Unfortunately, I do not have the floor plans for the Solidex-built homes in the area. Ottawa Citizen. October 11, 1981 I am also missing the Perez-built plans in the area. If any of my readers has these, I would love to get my hands on them so I can share on this blog! Ottawa Citizen. August 20, 1983

The Neighbourhoods of Hunt Club: Hunt Club Chase - Campeau

This is the first in a series of posts on the neighbourhoods in Hunt Club. The area north of Hunt Club Road and west of the Airport Parkway was begun in the mid 1970s as Hunt Club Chase, and as the map below indicates, there is an intricate mix of builders within the area. Hunt Club Chase map from Campeau with additions by author to show builders and tract names. Campeau built large swaths of land on the east side of Hunt Club Chase, including detached houses in a variety of sizes, semi-detached and townhouses. Ottawa Citizen. December 5, 1975  Ottawa Citizen. April 30, 1976 The largest collection of Campeau's detached homes in the Hunt Club Chase are from their Executive Homes series. Ottawa Citizen. January 13, 1978 The Seignory Homes are a collection of larger, and wider homes, most with a centre hall plan. Ottawa Citizen. February 26, 1977 Semi-detached houses were built by Campeau on Pigeon Terrace. There are 1 or 2 plans that I am missing from my collection.  Ottawa Citizen.
