Nestled between the bustling communities of Keewatin and Kenora, the site for The Headwaters has locally been referred to as the‘ jewel’ of Kenora, a nickname taken very seriously by Qualico, the developer for the property.
“ We understand how important it is to create a lake experience that is balanced with the elegant comfort of a condominium, while never forgetting why we’ re there in the first place: to appreciate and experience the natural beauty of Lake of the Woods,” said Barry Hedgecock, Qualico Headwaters Manager.
The Headwaters offers those who have cottaged in the area for years or visit for summer vacations the opportunity to enjoy Lake of the Woods year-round –– hassle free and ready when you are.
A sanctuary amidst your busy life
With its close proximity to Kenora, those living at The Headwaters are minutes away from all the services Kenora has to offer. The Headwaters includes close to a kilometre of natural shoreline, mature trees and landscaping, a private beach and four enviro-friendly low-impact docks with private boat slips. The 80 energyefficient luxury condominiums located in five premium lakefront buildings are beautifully finished with flowing floorplans, spacious over-sized private terraces, and a host of upscale features including a luxury ensuite, fireplace, personal storage locker and more.
“ The exteriors and interiors at The Headwaters will support a modern lifestyle but will be designed in a way to reflect the traditional architectural details of the Lake of the Woods environment,” says Hedgecock.
Throughout the winter and spring months, an intense production schedule including site clearing, servicing and road infrastructure has provided great momentum to start construction of the first two nine-plex buildings at The Headwaters. Ranging from 1,300 – 2,000 + square feet, with a terrace, underground parking stall and private boat slip, suites in The Brook or The Current are available to reserve by contacting The Headwaters’ realtor Grant Robertson.
Elegantly appointed and environmentally sound
The site plan preserves the majority of the mature-growth trees, including 100-year-old white pines, as well as paying homage to the historical and spiritual significance the site has to local elders. The plans for The Headwaters ensured that design, building materials and configurations were carefully chosen to sustain the organic setting and minimize the impact on the environment.
Any removed trees have been transplanted elsewhere on the site or used for interior and exterior timber detail or mulch for landscaping. Rock blasting has been kept to a minimum with excavated rocks and boulders also being incorporated into the landscaping. Once construction is completed, native grasses and trees will be re-introduced to the site to encourage birds, deer and other wildlife to continue sharing the grounds.
Capturing the opportunity
The $ 40-million investment Qualico has made to the community has been trumpeted as a sign of great optimism and support of Kenora’ s economic development plan and vision to turn Kenora into a destination community. The Headwaters provides a surge of new residents, a new vibe and an energized momentum towards Kenora’ s renewal process.
