Sun Brand Homes are proud to be an associated builder in Willow Ridge, Black Diamond's newest neighbourhood. We were attracted by the scenery, lifestyle and services that the area has to offer. Sun Brand's parent company, Diamond Valley Manufacturing Ltd. is firmly committed to the Black Diamond/Turner Valley area. Our new manufacturing faculty will be opening in the spring of 2002 in Black Diamond. Many of our management, sales and valued trades also have chosen to make this area their home because of all the advantages it has to offer.

The Willow Ridge Neighbourhood is nestled in the scenic Foothills of the Rocky Mountains, at the southern edge of the town of Black Diamond. The Sun Brand Homes staff will be happy to show you around the area & walk you through a few of the homes that we are proud to offer in Willow Ridge. You will be pleasantly surprised with his area, as well as the quality and affordability of our homes. Each of our homes are constructed in the high standard that Sun Brand Homes has become known for. (Please check our "Reference Page".) We believe in building for the future and are pre-wiring each of our Willow Ridge homes with CAT-5 cable & an RJ45 connection box, to help provide a high quality link for your home computer. This provides our new homeowners with an option necessary for an increasing number of careers today. This is offered at no additional charge. Also, at no additional charge, we are pre-wiring each home for security systems, which can be added later at your discretion. We are able to offer these "on the house", by incorporating the wiring at an early stage in our construction process. The Alberta Government has ensured that high speed Internet access will be coming soon.
