About

Specializing in quality infill homes in mature neighbourhoods in Edmonton, Liv Homes builds new homes designed to meet the needs of today’s home buyer. Affiliated with Liv Real Estate, Liv Homes can help you through the whole process of building your dream home in a mature neighbourhood – from selecting and purchasing a lot, to designing and building your dreams, to helping you ensure you maximize resale value when the time eventually comes to sell. Liv Homes also builds beautifully designed turn-key homes in great areas around Edmonton.

Liv Homes was founded by Sheldon Johnston and Sara MacLennan when they began the process of building a home for their family and were not satisfied with the options available. They were either too expensive, didn’t have infill experience, or didn’t offer enough options to build a true custom home. And so, Liv Homes was born.
