“When a government or mu-
nicipality decides to work on
an area like that, that means
a good study has been done,”
Abo says. “No government or
municipality in Canada will cre-
ate a town centre and potential-
ly spend over $100 million with-
out having done their intensive
due diligence.”
That fact, combined with some
other observations Abo had
made, convinced him that the
location was going to be high-
ly-sought after – maybe not in
2010, but definitely by 2020.
From there, Denna Homes set
their sights on producing the
best quality they possibly could.
They wanted to set a standard
that other developments in the
area would have to live up to in
the future.
“We wanted to build a really
high quality product,” Abo says.
“We wanted to set the bench-
mark. I’m proud to say, that’s
what we have accomplished.”
In the years since, Seylynn Vil-
lage has grown to comprise
two residential towers, called
Beacon and Compass, with the
third coming soon. It also in-
cludes a 70-unit rental parcel.
Then there’s the residents-only
clubhouse called Denna Club,
which features more than
14,000 square feet of amenities,
including a 25-metre swimming
pool, sauna, steam room, locker
rooms, a full fitness centre, and
yoga space.

“We wanted to set
the benchmark.
I’m proud to say,
that’s what we
did.”
