For twenty years, ADR Properties has been a trusted name in Winnipeg’s residential construction scene. Founded by mechanical‑engineering student Adamo Rondinella, the company grew from building one or two homes a year to an annual output of 30 to 50 houses. Now, ADR is setting its sights on a new frontier: the bedroom community of Oak River Meadow in Île‑des‑Chênes.
From Red River College to a Growing Portfolio
Rondinella’s journey began while he was studying mechanical engineering at Red River College. “I was always fascinated by construction,” he recalls. “When I finished my degree, I decided to jump straight into the industry.” The early years of ADR saw the company focus on the city’s northern quadrant and the Interlake, delivering homes that blended modern design with the region’s natural surroundings.
Over time, ADR’s reputation for craftsmanship and customer service helped it expand its reach. Today, the firm builds between 30 and 50 homes each year, offering a range of styles from contemporary bungalows to traditional ranches.
Oak River Meadow: A New Chapter
Oak River Meadow, a rapidly growing bedroom community, is home to eight builders, and ADR is poised to be one of the first to showcase its design philosophy there. The company plans to unveil a show home at 143 Rosybloom Lane, a 1,751‑sq‑ft bungalow that will sit on a generous 53‑by‑150‑foot lot.
Rondinella says the new location offers a fresh canvas for ADR’s “realistic and affordable” approach. “We want to show what we’re capable of, but in a way that’s grounded and attainable for families,” he explains. The design team has emphasized functionality, ensuring wide walking paths and a smooth flow between living spaces.
Design Highlights: Rustic Charm Meets Modern Comfort
The exterior of the Rosybloom home will feature acrylic stucco and stone, complemented by a custom front door framed by pillars. A wood‑grain garage door ties the look to the surrounding rustic landscape. Inside, the layout balances elegance with practicality.
- Large tri‑pane windows and a 12‑foot patio door bring in natural light and frame country views.
- Soft, rounded details—such as arched alcoves around the dining area and gas fireplace—create a gentle, inviting atmosphere.
- The kitchen island, finished in darker thermofoil, contrasts with Laminam porcelain countertops for a touch of sophistication.
- Two oversized secondary bedrooms, a primary bedroom measuring 13 by 12 feet, and a well‑appointed ensuite provide ample space for families.
- Custom cabinetry in the walk‑in closet offers organized storage for wardrobes.
Interior designer Kim Money notes that the design team has carefully selected materials that reflect the rural setting while maintaining modern durability. “The porcelain countertops are more resilient than quartz, and the LVP flooring adds warmth,” she says.
Building Experience and Future Plans
ADR’s mission extends beyond the finished product. Rondinella emphasizes a smooth, enjoyable building process, aiming to make the journey as simple and fun as possible for homeowners. “Every homeowner deserves a home that delivers excellence without compromise,” he states.
With the Oak River Meadow project, ADR hopes to demonstrate its ability to deliver quality homes that fit the needs of contemporary families while staying true to the company’s roots in craftsmanship and customer satisfaction.
As the show home prepares for its grand reveal, prospective buyers and industry observers alike are eager to see how ADR’s design and construction principles translate into a new market segment.
What’s Next?
Once the Rosybloom home is completed, ADR plans to expand its presence in Oak River Meadow, offering a range of floor plans tailored to the community’s preferences. The company will also continue to refine its building processes, incorporating feedback from clients and industry trends to stay ahead of the market.
For now, the focus remains on delivering a single, exemplary home that showcases ADR’s commitment to quality, affordability, and family‑friendly design.
