It doesn't leave a whole lot to the imagination. Sort of like one of those old mental wards you would have found 60 years ago, just in isolation in the middle of nowhere.

The house looks like it belongs in England as one of those aristocratic estates but the nine car garage looks like an add-on by some first year architectural student... ugly.

It seems really cheesy to build anything that big out of plywood and 2x6. Did they hire the staff architect from Super 8?

Could it be victor Choy? He basically owns like half of the resturants in Calgary. Flames Central is one of them.

I've seen car washes and Travelodges that look better than this ugly house. If this guy wants to show off, why didn't he hire someone to build him something cool?

It looks like he drew a rectangle and asked someone to build a house between the lines.

I think it belongs to the Hon Family. They own the Guardian development and Jager Homes.

Are you sure about that? Hon #1 and #2 are taking both penthouses of the Guardian towers as their main residences. I guess they could be also be building a country estate as well, but this monstrosity seems far from their style...

I too would bet against it being the Hon's. The only thing that makes sense is the garage count.No penthouse units were made available to the public as the Hon's are taking them + some of the wild ideas they have had don't jive with this design.
The member who knows them can confirm though..

When did Jager Homes get sold? I grew up with the Jager family. The son's, the kid I grew up with, grandpa owned Jager homes. I guess no one in the family wanted to take over the business from the old man.
