FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

All lots in Roseburn are either owned by our builders, or must be purchased through our builders.

Please navigate through the 'LOT MAPS' section to view which lots are owned by the respective builders, and if you are interested, contact them for more information

To put a lot on hold, please speak with the sales team from one of the builders and they will be able to contact us and put that lot on hold on your behalf

Yes, lot holds can be challenged if a builder executes a purchase agreement on that lot (on your behalf). The group with the lot on hold would have 48-hours to exercise their first right of refusal, otherwise the challenging builder would be given the right to proceed with the lot purchase

When purchasing a lot, it is important to first recognize the approved zoning of that lot, and then read the corresponding requirements in Fort Saskatchewan’s Land Use Bylaw. You can access this online at: Residential Land Use Districts. In addition to those requirements, our subdivisions have architectural controls that outline the requirements for house size, exterior treatments, choices available for private fencing, and allowable front/side landscaping. You can view this document by going to the LOT MAPS section and clicking on the button below the stage map labeled “Architectural Controls”

The purchase agreements specifies that building must commence one year from the purchase. If a purchaser continues to maintain their lot from weeds, garbage, and other dumping, we are fine extending that timeframe until the purchaser is ready to build. However, we intentionally keep that clause in our purchase agreement as a means to take legal action if someone is not building on their lot and also not maintaining it. In a situation such as that, we will use the proceeds of your deposit to clean up your lot for you, and then proceed with further legal action once those funds are “used up”.

The architectural controls specify that front landscaping must be completed by the year after your house is completed. If there is a reason that a person cannot complete their landscaping within that timeline but is still maintaining the front of their lot to be tidy, we have no problem extending that timeframe another year. Backyard landscaping is not a requirement and therefore there is no time frame where you must complete your backyard landscaping.

Please note that we can only return a deposit to the party that paid it to us, meaning the purchaser of the lot. If you are a homeowner that purchased from a builder, you must contact them to let them know that you have completed landscaping, and they must coordinate the return of the balance of their deposit directly with us.

The deposit covers three requirements: any infrastructure damaged during the construction process, building to the approved plans, and completion of the front/side landscaping.

Front landscaping must be completed as per the requirements in the architectural controls. Once complete, the lot owner is to fill out the Landscaping Inspection Request Form that was part of their purchase agreement, which will trigger an inspection.

As soon as a lot is purchased, the purchaser is responsible for ALL 3rd party damage adjacent to their lot, not just activity that is proven to be caused by construction activity on their house. After 2 years of warranty, Fort Saskatchewan completes an inspection and determines what deficiencies need to be repaired before they assume responsibility for that infrastructure. Once we complete these repairs, lot owners are invoiced for any costs associated with their lot. If that invoice is not paid, it is deducted from the deposit.

Even if the landscaping is completed and approved, no deposits can be refunded until Strathcona County has assumed ownership of ALL infrastructure within the stage. This is typically 3-4 years after construction. The reason for their “delay” is because once a deposit is returned, there is no way for the developer to pursue repayment for damages that are later identified by Strathcona County.

Construction of both playgrounds in Stage 1 will start Summer 2026, with completion and opening in Fall 2026

Show homes will be opening in Fall 2026, located at 6, 10, 14, & 18 Lavender Crescent

Development, and the rate of development, is driven by market conditions. It is impossible to accurately predict the timing and size of future stages because it is often a 2 year process to prepare a new stage for construction, and in that time market conditions can fluctuate greatly.

All questions about timing should be directed to the development manager. Do not rely on information from 3rd party individuals about the details of future development.

In addition to approved zoning & subdivision plans, the best resource to see what future development may look like is the Area Structure Plan
