I don’t think there is a whole lot of lovin’ in Mattamy Land recently. If you peruse the blogs and news you will see that Mattamy isn’t keeping people happy – not like in their ads.
In Ancaster, they originally brokered a deal for a development that would have 36 foot lots as their smallest. They do a deal with the Separate School board and now say they need some 30 foot lots. I mean, correct me if I am wrong, but developers know what land is going to go to different school boards in their initial plans I thought. Why the change now? More likely to accommodate the declining market in homes. Now, I live in one of those small lots but fortunately I live on a wide street and the driveway will accommodate 2 cars side by each. I’ve seen the new kind of development. Narrow roads and short frontages that, in some cases, you can’t even park a car in the driveway. Hey, we all know the Canadian way don’t we – garages are for storing stuff, not parking cars.
And, in Milton, Billionaire Gilgan’s scam email trying to get sympathy for some Billionaire Welfare is meeting some resistance from the local politicians. And here is a guy sending out email that doesn’t have the right facts – and you’d buy a house from someone who is putting out false facts. Consider your home plans – are they true to form or adjustable by the builder when times change.
And, also in Milton, Mattamy is giving up on the warehouse style of house building, according to a newspaper article. It is going to be a feed mill. Interesting that both products from this building are known to produce the same end product. At least the farm animal’s end product can be recycled, whereas Mattamy’s was just overlooked by the Town of Oakville.
I see that their Fernbank Community Plan in Stitsville is at odds. Mattamy feels that the centralized park will interfere with their development plans – read profit here.
Well, I could go on and on about their recent problems but, I understand their frustration. I mean, I got the same kind of service from Mattamy Homes who put children’s lives at risk but really didn’t care. So, in closing, I will put the following, written by a recent Mattamy homeowner who isn’t getting the advertised love and care from Mattamy. His use of caps kind of says it all..
And gives one an insight into the JD Power survey that shows Mattamy is tops. Maybe they should rethink their evaluation methods.
