Builder Spotlight: RareBuilt Homes — Luxury Homes Built Around You

RareBuilt Homes is a Calgary-based luxury home builder and developer specializing in custom homes, luxury villas, architecturally distinctive townhomes, and thoughtfully planned communities.

Since 2009, RareBuilt has built its reputation on creating homes that are as unique as the people who live in them. Every project is guided by exceptional craftsmanship, innovative design, premium construction standards, and a deeply personalized homeowner experience.

The company is also a proud recipient of the 2025 BILD Calgary Multi-Family Builder of the Year Award (Small Volume)—a recognition that reflects the team’s dedication to excellence and the trust homeowners place in RareBuilt to bring their dream homes to life.

What inspired the conception of the company?

RareBuilt’s vision is simple: to create homes that homeowners genuinely love living in—not just on possession day, but for decades to come. The team wants every RareBuilt homeowner to feel that their home was designed specifically for them, enhancing their lifestyle while providing comfort, beauty, performance, and lasting value.

How has this journey shaped the way RareBuilt builds homes today?

Over the past 17 years, RareBuilt has continually refined its approach while remaining true to its founding principles. Every home is treated as a unique project rather than a standardized product. Experience has reinforced that exceptional homes come from listening carefully to homeowners, embracing innovation, and never compromising on quality or craftsmanship.

A Promise to Homeowners

Customer care begins long before construction starts and continues well after possession. For RareBuilt, this means honest communication, accessibility, transparency, and treating every homeowner as a true partner throughout the building journey.

Building a home is one of the most significant investments a family will ever make, and RareBuilt takes that responsibility seriously. The team guides homeowners through every stage of the process—from design and selections to construction updates and final walkthroughs. After possession, they remain committed to providing responsive warranty support and ongoing service whenever it’s needed.

RareBuilt says:

“We are proud to partner with Alberta New Home Warranty Program on our warranty program. This gives our homeowners additional peace of mind throughout their homeownership journey.”

Going above and beyond is part of RareBuilt’s culture. Whether it’s incorporating highly personalized lifestyle features, adapting designs to meet changing family needs during construction, or finding creative solutions to bring a homeowner’s vision to life, the team is committed to exceeding expectations—not simply meeting them.

What truly sets RareBuilt apart?

Customization is at the heart of everything RareBuilt does. Rather than asking homeowners to choose from a catalogue of predetermined options, the team collaborates closely with each client to create homes that reflect their lifestyles, interests, and long-term goals.

RareBuilt strives to say “yes” to as many customization requests as possible, creating homes that are truly one of a kind.

Combined with its Rare Standards, award-winning craftsmanship, and meticulous attention to detail, this philosophy delivers homes that stand apart from the competition.

Rare Standards include premium construction practices and features that many builders consider upgrades. These include:

• Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) construction
• Hydronic in-floor heating
• European tilt-and-turn windows
• Open-web floor systems
• Premium mechanical systems
• Custom millwork
• Luxury appliance packages
• Solar panels
• Thoughtfully designed architectural details that enhance both performance and everyday living

For homeowners, these standards translate into superior construction, improved soundproofing, greater energy efficiency, better-designed living spaces, and a more durable home overall.

RareBuilt believes building a luxury home should be an exceptional experience—not simply the delivery of a finished product.

Standout Calgary Offerings

RareBuilt is especially proud of its collection of luxury quick possession homes currently available in Serenity at Heritage Pointe and Seventeen Hundred at Aspen Estates.

These homes showcase the very best of RareBuilt—award-winning design, exceptional craftsmanship, and the company’s signature Rare Standards—while offering homeowners the opportunity to move into a beautifully finished luxury home without the timeline of a custom build.

Each residence has been thoughtfully designed with premium features, sophisticated architecture, and carefully curated interior finishes, making them ideal for buyers seeking luxury, convenience, and immediate availability.

RareBuilt believes great design should serve homeowners for decades. Whether incorporating aging-in-place features, flexible living spaces, energy-efficient building practices, or layouts that evolve with growing families, every design decision is made with long-term livability in mind.

Lottery Home

RareBuilt is honoured to partner with the Alberta Cancer Foundation and contribute to a cause that touches so many Albertans.

RareBuilt builds homes everyday,  but having the opportunity to use our work to support cancer research, treatment and patient care across Alberta gives this project a much deeper purpose. Every member of the RareBuilt team understood that this home represented something much bigger than architecture—it represents hope for families throughout the province.

The vision behind The Bridgette was to create a home that feels timeless, welcoming and deeply connected to its surroundings. Located within Pine Springs at Heritage Pointe, the architecture embraces the natural beauty of the community through expansive triple-pane windows, vaulted spaces and a walkout design that fills both levels with natural light.

While the home offers an impressive level of craftsmanship and luxury, they wanted it to feel approachable rather than formal. Every space was designed around how people naturally gather, entertain and unwind.

Peace of Mind Matters

What does your partnership with Alberta New Home Warranty Program mean for your homeowners?

RareBuilt says:

“Every RareBuilt home is backed by Alberta New Home Warranty because peace of mind is just as important as craftsmanship. Our homeowners can feel confident knowing their investment is protected by Alberta’s most respected warranty provider while also having a builder who stands behind every home we create.

It reinforces our commitment to quality and accountability. Homeowners know they’re protected not only by comprehensive warranty coverage but also by a builder with an established reputation for craftsmanship, customer care, and long-term relationships.”

From your perspective, how should warranty coverage matter to someone shopping for a home?

RareBuilt says:

“Warranty coverage should never be viewed as just paperwork. It reflects the confidence a builder has in its product and provides homeowners with important protection for one of the largest investments they’ll ever make.

Buyers should understand not only what’s covered, but also the reputation and responsiveness of the builder standing behind that warranty. We take our aftercare so seriously that our President regularly reviews warranty inquiries to ensure we maintain customers for life and that every homeowner receives the care and attention they deserve.”

Homeowner Highlights

Best feature in your homes right now?

RareBuilt says:

“Some might argue it’s our Insulated Concrete Forms, which are truly rare in our industry. Others might say it’s our hidden doors, twilight movie theatres, or hydraulic golf simulators. But really, it’s whatever a homeowner imagines as their favourite feature.”

What’s one thing every homeowner should look for in a builder?

Choose a builder that builds the home you want—not simply one that offers predetermined options.

RareBuilt says:

“We want you to customize your home—that’s the exciting part for us!”

The team also believes it’s important to choose a builder who values craftsmanship, communication, and long-term relationships just as much as beautiful design. The experience of building your home should be every bit as exceptional as the home itself.

What’s one piece of advice you’d give someone buying a new home today?

Look beyond finishes and floor plans. Ask how the home is built, what materials are used, how the builder communicates throughout the process, and what support you’ll receive after possession. Those details make all the difference in the years to come.
