1979 - Established
Cal Wenzel decides to start a home-building company, bringing in Barry Ballsillie as his partner. The company is named Shane Homes, after Cal’s son. The partners initially aimed to build and sell 50 homes a year. In their first year of operation, five homes were built and sold. The 50-homes-per-year level was reached in 1985, and by the mid-1990s, it was hundreds of homes per year.
2011 - Our Portfolio Grows into Land Development
By 2009, new land to build homes had become scarce, primarily due to legislative restrictions. A good supply of land available for development is key to being a successful home-building company, so in 2011, Cal Wenzel decided a land company was important to the future of Shane Homes. Wenzel Developments was born. The company’s primary role is acquiring small- to medium-sized parcels of land and working with partnered development companies to design and build new communities.
2014 - Rising to New Heights with our Condo Division
As in all major cities, the popularity of condominium living is growing in Calgary. Many of the projects are located in established neighborhoods, which buyers appreciate. Condominiums are, on average, less expensive and many offer a maintenance-free lifestyle, suitable for all generations. Our Shane Multi-Family division builds condominiums that go beyond the premise of ‘stacked boxes,’ incorporating new designs, comfortable environments, and functional spaces in low- to mid-rise buildings.
2017 - Shane Homes Group of Companies
Shane Homes has grown from building high-quality, single-family homes to becoming a well-positioned diversified company for the future. The three divisions are brought under the Shane Homes Group of Companies and include Shane Homes, Shane Communities (previously Wenzel Developments), and Shane Multi-Family (previously Nuovo).
2024 - Expanding Horizons: Shane Homes Now in the US
