When Vision Meets Legacy: The Stollery Story

There's something magical about walking through Angus Glen that you can feel but might not beable to name. It's in the way the mature trees create natural canopies

over winding roads, how the rolling terrain makes every view feel carefully composed, and how every home seems to belong exactly where it sits. This isn't the result of accident or luck ‒ it's the legacyof the Stollery family's five-decade commitment to creating something truly extraordinary.

At The Unionville, we understand that we're not just building another luxury development ‒ we're continuing a story that began with vision, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Our partnership with inCAN Developments, renowned for their ability to honor and enhance established communities, ensures that we contribute to rather than detract from theexceptional character that makes Angus Glen so special.

The Stollery approach to development was revolutionary for its time and remains inspiring today:instead of maximizing short-term profits, they prioritized creating a community that would remainbeautiful, valuable, and desirable for generations. This long-term thinking is evident everywhere youlook in Angus Glen, from the preserved natural features to the carefully planned infrastructure that continues to serve residents beautifully decades after its installation.

The Philosophy That Changed Everything

What set the Stollery family apart wasn't just their financial resources ‒ it was their understandingthat great communities require patience, vision, and a willingness to make decisions based on long-term value rather than immediate returns. This philosophy influenced every aspect of Angus Glen's development, from the initial master planning to the ongoing stewardship that maintains itsexceptional character.

The preservation of natural features was a cornerstone of the Stollery approach. Rather than clear-cutting sites to maximize buildable area, they worked around mature trees, natural drainage patterns, and existing topography to create developments that felt like they had grown naturally from the landscape. This approach required more planning and often higher construction costs, but itcreated the distinctive character that makes Angus Glen so appealing.

Quality over quantity became the guiding principle for all development decisions. Lot sizes weregenerous enough to provide privacy and space for families to grow, while building standards exceededtypical requirements to ensure that homes would remain beautiful and functional for decades. Thiscommitment to quality created a

community where property values have consistently outperformed broader market trends.

Community amenities were planned and built to serve residents for generations rather than justmeeting immediate needs. The golf courses, parks, and recreational facilities were designed and constructed to championship standards, creating assets that continue to provide value andenjoyment decades after their completion.

The Art of Thoughtful Development

The Stollery approach to development demonstrated that luxury isn't about ostentation ‒ it's about creating environments where every detail contributes to residents' quality of life and long-term satisfaction. This understanding influenced everything from street layouts to architectural guidelinesto landscape design.

Street planning prioritized safety, beauty, and functionality over efficiency or cost savings. Windingroads that follow natural topography create interesting views and slower traffic speeds, while generous sidewalks and boulevard plantings create pleasant environments for walking and cycling.

Architectural guidelines maintained aesthetic consistency while allowing for individual expression and customization. These standards ensured that new homes would complement existing development while preventing the kind of architectural chaos that can undermine property values and communitycharacter.

Landscape design integrated natural and cultivated elements to create environments that feel both sophisticated and natural. Native plant selections support local ecosystems while requiring minimal maintenance, while carefully planned gardens and common areas provide beauty throughout theseasons.

Infrastructure investment included utilities, roads, and services built to standards that exceed typicalrequirements. This upfront investment in quality infrastructure has paid dividends over decades, with systems that continue to operate reliably while supporting ongoing development and growth.

The Championship Golf Legacy

The Angus Glen Golf Club represents perhaps the most visible symbol of the Stollery commitment toexcellence. These aren't just golf courses ‒ they're championship-

quality facilities that have hosted PGA Tour events and attracted golfers from around the world. The decision to create facilities of this caliber reflects the family's understanding that great communitiesdeserve great amenities.

The North and South courses were designed by renowned golf course architects and built to standards that rival the world's finest facilities. The investment in quality construction, premiummaterials, and ongoing maintenance has created courses that continue to challenge and delight golfers while providing beautiful open space that benefits the entire community.

The clubhouse and facilities reflect the same commitment to excellence that characterizes the golfcourses themselves. From the elegant dining rooms to the well- appointed locker rooms, every detailreflects an understanding that great amenities require attention to every aspect of the experience.

The economic impact of having championship-quality golf facilities extends far beyond the golf clubitself. These facilities attract visitors from throughout the region, support local businesses, andcontribute to the area's reputation as a destination for quality and excellence.

More Than Golf: Community Assets

Even residents who don't play golf benefit from having these exceptional facilities in theirneighborhood. The golf courses provide permanent open space that can never be developed, ensuringthat the rolling fairways and mature trees will continue to provide beautiful views and recreationalopportunities for future generations.

The maintenance standards required for championship golf create park-like conditions throughout thecourses, with perfectly manicured landscapes that provide beauty and environmental benefits for theentire community. The extensive irrigation systems, mature plantings, and careful turf management create green spaces that support wildlife while providing natural cooling and air purification.

Walking and jogging opportunities on cart paths and designated areas provide recreational options for non-golfers while creating connections between different areas of the community. Theseinformal trail systems complement formal parks and recreational facilities to create comprehensiveopportunities for outdoor activity.

Property value benefits from proximity to championship golf facilities are well- documented, withhomes near quality courses consistently outperforming broader

market trends. The Stollery investment in golf excellence continues to provide financial benefits forall Angus Glen residents.
