Local developers Parker Built Homes may be best-known for creating the West Royalty community of Carter’s Creek. They’re now at it again, embarking on a new development venture: the Melody Meadows subdivision.

T he success of Carter’s Creek was key to raising Parker Built Homes’ local profile, company cofounder Parker Perry notes. When asked what led him towards his work developing subdivisions, he explains that he and his wife, Andrea Perry, personally experienced the challenge of choosing a neighbourhood as they tried to find a lot on which to build their family home. “We weren’t just looking for a lot in a subdivision,” he explains. “We wanted a strong sense of community, in an area with a great school and all the amenities for everyday convenience.” Perry ultimately cofounded Parker Built Homes, his Island-based family business, alongside his father-in-law, Paul Gallant. Andrea Perry serves as the company’s administrative lead. “She’s key to running the office and keeping client satisfaction at the forefront of our business,” says Parker. It took less than three years for Parker Built Homes to succeed in selling every lot in Carter’s Creek. Parker quickly realized other Islanders were also in search of a community atmosphere, as well as the everyday convenience provided by easy access to amenities. This led Parker Built Homes to move on to their second development, Melody Meadows, which Parker says has “a similar feel” to Carter’s Creek.
