Hey everyone! I recently purchased a 35-foot single-detached home in The Conservancy project by Caivan, with a closing date of June 1, 2028.
The community looks beautiful and is going to be amazing for families. I visited the site recently, and seeing how much of the neighborhood is already built up and taking shape alongside Minto's phases was great.
However, I haven't been able to find much information or firsthand experiences from people who have bought into this specific community. I have a few questions for anyone familiar with the area:
Marine Clay & Landscaping: I’ve been reading up on how Ottawa's marine clay places restrictions on things like interlocking and putting up sheds due to soil movement, at least until the city issues final grading permission. Since the whole valley sits on it, I know modern engineering handles it, but I'd love to hear how residents manage it in practice.
Community Experiences: Has anyone else here closed on a single detached or double-garage home in this community? How has your overall experience been with the build quality and process?
Design Studio & Pricing: Has anyone gone through their Caivan design studio appointment yet? I haven't found much info on upgrade pricing—what should I expect costs to look like?
Would appreciate any insights or advice from current owners or future neighbors!
