Balmoral is about to become part of a much larger community. About 700 homes will be built starting late in 2010 in a new subdivision called Timberstone Park just to the north and west of the Chapel. The overall plan calls for 236 detached homes, 262 multifamily units, 116 narrow lot homes, as well as a playground, trails, and an outdoor skating rink. One phase of this development, by Laebon Homes, is a complex just to the west of the Chapel, called the Timbers. Earth moving equipment started site grading operations for the Timbers complex in the week of October 20, 2008. Although the Timbers was viewed initially to be the first of several phases in Timberstone Park, construction on it will depend on when services become available from the north.  This is an exciting development for us, and for this community. You can read more in some recent Red Deer Advocate articles and the City of Red Deer website.
