“Davey Lake will be tranquil retreat from busy urban life...an alternative for those who want to get away from the crowds and enjoy a quiet, serene setting.”
-Christopher Baradoy, President

It’s incredible to know that in Alberta’s hot real estate market there are still a few undiscovered treasurers. It’s even better when you can make one of those scarce opportunities your own while still maintaining its natural beauty. Davey Lake is one of those tremendously rare gems.

When we first discovered Davey Lake we were immediately struck by its intimacy. The lake itself is a wonder, but when you get up on the Pointe, or back in the private wooded areas, you really earn an appreciation for the local landscape. Out of this appreciation we were inspired to form a community concept that preserves its natural charm, and is extremely conscientious of any environmental impact.

The vision that ensued is one of rural luxury on the water, where the environment and community seamlessly unite. We’ve worked very hard to come up with a plan that works with the existing landscape, and are committed to improving the current environmental conditions. The estate sized lots will add to the aesthetic appeal of the land by having all log or timber-frame exterior homes, the creeks and streams that wind into the lake will be re-vitalized with continuous fresh water flow, and alternative energy sources such as solar, wind and geothermal will be implemented to create low impact living. In a province where over-crowding, noise and pollution are becoming common lakefront issues, Davey Lake will offer a secluded refuge for an organic lifestyle.

What’s further, in today’s market there is an unsurpassed demand for recreational property, and that trend is set to continue for the next five to ten years as baby boomer’s compete for similar types of properties. We’re creating value from a completely undeveloped lakefront asset in a market where prices have soared through the roof. It’s an incredible opportunity.
What we’re most excited about is the number of partners who share our vision and have invested with us to participate in the project. We’ve designed a very attractive investment structure that returns a large piece of the pie back to the investors, and it’s rewarding to work with people who understand the scale of the opportunity and share our common goals.
We trust you’ll be happy with the vision we’ve created, and hope to add you to our growing list of partners as we move towards a successful future.

“The investment in Davey Lake offers extraordinary potential for return. The first right of refusal that investment can give you on a lot is icing on the cake.”
- Christopher Baradoy, President.

Davey Lake Developments is pleased to announce that investors in the lakefront development project will be given priority choice of single family residential lots ahead of the general public when the community goes to market. Based on a three tiered priority, investors will receive first right of refusal on lots on a first come first serve basis.

“The investment in Davey Lake offers extraordinary potential for return. The first right of refusal that investment can give you on a lot is icing on the cake” explains Christopher Baradoy, president of Davey Lake Developments. “The sooner you get in, the better your choice of a lot will be.” And while Baradoy admits the community will appeal to a broad range of home owners due to its diverse landscape, the high demand for this type of property in Alberta means if you’re interested in ownership, you’ll want to invest now.

Investors of $100,000 or more will receive first right of refusal on the lots until they have exercised that right, investors of $50,000 or more will have a second right of refusal, and all other investors will get the final option before it goes to the public market. Essentially, this means the possibility of selling out the property to investors in extremely high.
Davey Lake Developments is developing a substantial residential and recreational community just outside of Innisfail, Alberta on Davey Lake.

Investors can now use their RRSP funds to invest in Davey Lake Investments Ltd., and participate in the profits of the lakefront project being developed between Calgary and Red Deer.

Rare chance to invest in Alberta lakeshore project - Link to Business Edge Article

Business Edge Article - March 21, 2008

South-Central Alberta is a terrific place to live.

But even its most zealous admirers will find it hard to argue with the following factual remark: There aren't enough lakes.

It's why lakeshore real estate is priced at such an outrageous premium along Sylvan Lake and Pine Lake.

In this part of the world, there simply isn't enough prime lakeshore property to go around.

Until now, that is.

An innovative real estate team called Davey Lake Developments is prepared to offer investors a rare ground-floor opportunity to join them in the creation of a brand new, rural development on the shores of one of the province's hidden jewels.

Ever hear of Davey Lake?

We didn't think so.

This is a picturesque recreational lake situated about 10 minutes east of Bowden, which lies approximately one hour's drive north of Calgary on the QE II. Davey Lake Developments has concluded an agreement to purchase a large parcel of choice property on the lake, with the intention of creating a natural, environmentally sensitive residential community of about 300 detached timber-frame homes.

"This neighbourhood is going to look like it's been beside the lake for 100 years," predicts Chris Baradoy, president of Calgary-based Davey Lake Developments. "We've pledged not to harm mature trees and to refrain from unnecessary grading. We're working with Stantec Engineering on community design and our architectural plans include substantial reliance upon such green techniques as solar and geothermal energy."

The goal is to enhance the local landscape while avoiding any measures that could conceivably place it at risk.

So how come you've never heard of Davey Lake? Because this sparkling little gem is hidden from the view of nearby roadways and is completely surrounded by private property. The lake currently affords no public access. But Davey Lake Developments has completed an amiable round of negotiations to acquire necessary land for the new community from the current owner.

And that's precisely where you come in.

The company is in the process of raising $24 million by means of a limited partnership. Members of the public are invited to participate with a minimum investment of $10,000.
In its initial offering, Davey Lake Developments proposes to raise $12 million to cover purchase of the land, to move the project through the development process and for sales and marketing purposes. The second $12 million will be set aside to cover construction costs.

Although some risk is inherent in any investment, potential returns are extremely attractive.

"Through the limited partnership, we intend to distribute 70 per cent of profits back to our investors," Baradoy confirms. You'll look far and wide to find an investment vehicle that matches such a generous split. Profits will start to flow as soon as the project reaches the marketing stage.

"Our partnership is set up in such a way that all investors will recover their principal before management participates in any profits. That tells you management is motivated to proceed as rapidly and efficiently as possible," says Baradoy, who adds that the investment is RRSP eligible through an extremely tax-efficient vehicle.

The investment includes a few more privileges of ownership for eligible investors. For example, those partners who invest a minimum of $100,000 gain first right of refusal on lots, on a first-come, first-served basis. Those investing $50,000 are next in line for their choice of lots and the remaining investors are also guaranteed an opportunity to purchase before the units are listed on the public market, if ever.

"We're extremely confident that we'll sell out these properties to our investors before we ever reach the stage of selling to the public," Baradoy says.

If you're unfamiliar with this part of the province, you'll find no less than 14 superb golf courses within a half-hour's drive of Davey Lake. At the moment, boating on the lake is unrestricted. However, Davey Lake Developments intends to urge regulators for a new set of restrictions which would limit access to canoes, kayaks and sailboats.

"Our ultimate goal is to create an intimate, peaceful community," adds Baradoy.

Perhaps it's time to introduce you to the principals behind Davey Lake Developments, a company formed specifically to develop the community on Davey Lake.

President Chris Baradoy earned a degree in international business and brings several years' experience in project development to the table.

His associate Gary Leontowicz is a respected construction and property development professional who's been in business for more than 30 years. Gary's sister-in-law Debbie Leontowicz is also a veteran of the industry.

Business in Calgary Article - October 2007

It’s hard to imagine that with acreage-hungry real estate investors sniffing and scrounging every corner of Canada’s most prosperous province for the “next big thing,” that there is still a secret or two out there. But secrets there are and a jewel of a lake – not to mention an investment opportunity – about an hour north of Calgary, is one of them. Davey Lake, located 20 km out of Innisfail, is a little prairie oasis of fresh water, rustling trees and a whole lot of peace and quiet hidden among the rolling hills of southern Alberta. “You wouldn’t even know it’s there,” says Chris Baradoy, president of Davey Lake Developments. “It’s a hidden gem.”

Baradoy and his partners, Debbie and Gary Leontowicz, have been mining this gem for more than a year and have secured rights to the land surrounding the 265-acre lake with an eye to creating a sustainable, peaceful and, of course, fruitful development. Working closely with Stantec’s Red Deer office, Baradoy and his team have created a conceptual plan that encompasses 315 acres of single and multi-family residential homes hugging the shoreline and nestled back into the wooded area.

“We have tried to create a place where there’s something for everyone,” says Baradoy. “From the waterfront up to the spectacular views from The Pointe, to the more private wooded area, Davey Lake will appeal to a broad range of homeowners.”

Strict architectural controls featuring a log-cabin or timber-frame feel will keep the community in harmony with its natural surroundings. Baradoy says his team is extremely conscious of potential environmental impacts of the development and is committed to not only improve on current conditions by improving year-round fresh water flow, but by developing a community that is environmentally sustainable in the long term.

Currently in the fundraising phase, Davey Lake provides a rare opportunity for investors to get in on the ground level on a recreational property investment in Alberta.
“The property values around Sylvan Lake, for example, have maxed out,” says Baradoy. “Not to mention the fact that it’s getting crowded, noisy, polluted. Davey Lake will offer an affordable alternative for those who want to get away from the crowds and enjoy a quiet, serene setting.”

Baradoy estimates Davey Lake lots will average $300,000 in price and, with a cost-to-develop of about $ $85 - $110K, offers excellent potential for a high return on investment. “We’re confident that this development provides an excellent investment opportunity,” says Baradoy. “And as investors get first right of refusal on developed lots, it’s also an excellent lifestyle opportunity.”

The opportunity is structured as a limited partnership that will raise a total of $12 million through its first offering to purchase and develop the land. The deal gives limited partners a chance to participate in up to 70 per cent of the project’s profits. The proceeds will go towards the purchase, development and marketing of the land located at the heart of Canada’s hottest real estate and economic corridor. Investors will also be paid back their original investment before the general partner participates in any of the returns, which puts the limited partners first in line for the investment.

The Davey Lake Limited Partnership offers investors the opportunity to participate in 70% of the development’s profits. Plus, investors’ original capital is paid back before the General Partner sees any cash flow.

Davey Lake Developments Corp. entered into the Davey Lake Limited Partnership Agreement, taking on the role as General Partner for the large lakeside community being constructed near Red Deer. With 317 acres of developable land on a 265 acre lake, the partnership plans to develop a recreational / residential community that fits the diverse needs of Alberta’s booming market.

The partnership will raise a total of $12 million through its first offering to purchase and develop the land, which will give the Limited Partners a chance to participate in 70% of the project’s profits. The proceeds will go towards the purchase, development and marketing of the land located at the heart of Canada’s hottest real estate and economic corridor.

Investors will also be paid their original investment back before the General Partner participates in any of the returns, which puts the Limited Partners first in line for the investment.
