For Raimondo Ferraro, his passion for home building first took root as a means to support his growing family following their immigration from Italy in 1959. For the next 19 years, Raimondo worked a variety of jobs until establishing Calbridge Homes in 1978 with his son Joe Ferraro – the beginning of a life-long passion and bond between father and son. The very first home they built was perched on a modest lot in the beautiful inner-city community of Bridgeland. This location formed the foundation for their new company’s name – ‘Calbridge’ – Calgary meets Bridgeland. From their small start in Bridgeland to being one of Calgary’s top builders 40 years later, the art of home building has been an unforgettable journey for the Ferraro family.
