Those who want a small-town feel home would be buying a home in Cochrane, which is right next to Harmony and it's got a variety of housing to offer with all of the infrastructure (except for a hospital). The only buyer group left consists of those who cannot afford an 2,500 sq.ft. two-storey in Rocky Ridge or Tuscany but want it anyway, so that they can say "we live in Springbank"... I'd say this is a risky value proposition.
I assume this is going to be an upscale development like the rest of Springbank. Probably similar to Heritage Pointe but on a larger scale.
