Esker Park: A Community Sculpted for All Life’s Stages
Calgary’s upcoming new northwest community, designed and developed by Shane Communities, will feature homes for all kinds of living.
In a sense, Esker Park, a new community designed and developed by Shane Communities, has been 22,000 years in the making.
While the official vision for the community began in 2009, the name “Esker” symbolizes the natural, winding ridges that have been sculpted over thousands of years by glaciers. Esker Park, appropriately enough, will be built on glacier-sculpted land in northwest Calgary, directly east of Glacier Ridge. The new community honours its namesake with a layout interwoven with winding streets, green spaces and eco-friendly elements. The “Park” in its name, represents a focal point of the community where residents can gather for a sense of belonging.
“Esker Park is perfect for those who prioritize sustainability, community and quality living,” says Melanie Gowans, vice-president of sales, marketing and interior design with Shane Homes Group of Companies. “With its prime location, variety of home styles and abundant nearby amenities, it sets a new standard for urban living in Calgary.”
An array of homes to choose from
Groundbreaking took place on April 19, 2024, setting the stage for what will soon be 220 acres of developed land for the Esker Park community. The first show homes will open in the spring of 2025, and presales for the exclusive Shane Homes will begin in the fall of 2024. Future residents will have a choice of a diverse range of home styles, including single-family front garage homes, laned homes, paired homes and townhouses.
Whether taking the kids to the playgrounds, walking the dog to the park with your partner or jogging or strolling on the many walking trails crisscrossing the community, Esker Park is built to accommodate all stages of life. “Esker Park is perfect for those seeking a vibrant, inclusive community with ample amenities and natural surroundings,” affirms Gowans. “It’s designed for families, young professionals and retirees looking to set down roots in a welcoming environment.”
For community events, residents can come together to the centrally located outdoor park space for gatherings and connection.
Surrounding the community are top-rated schools, shopping centres, dining options and medical facilities. Convenient access to both major roads and public transit makes commuting around the city and to nearby natural attractions a breeze. Esker Park provides homes for every type of family and can grow with them as they change over time.
“The location offers an ease of living, making it a place where people can build their lives and enjoy them for years to come,” affirms Brenden Montgomery, vice president of land development at Shane Homes Group of Companies.

A quick walk away, community members can find themselves at the edge of the Bow River, where they can enjoy the sounds of rushing water, go fishing, take up bird watching, or hop aboard a raft and float down the river. The proximity of the Bow is the community jewel, but it doesn’t end there. Logan Landing will feature over eight kilometres of pathways where residents can walk, run or bike. These pathways encourage exploration beyond the community allowing residents easy access to Cranston and even all the way to Calgary’s downtown core.
Over 115 acres of the community will be dedicated to an environmental reserve, and residents will enjoy over 24 acres of open space designated for a school, eight parks with a variety of playgrounds, as well as a six-and-a-half-acre stormwater pond. Plus, Logan Landing boasts incredible views of Calgary’s natural setting including views of the Rocky Mountains.
“The most scenic viewpoints overlooking the escarpment and the valley were purposely preserved and included in our open space network. The pathways, as well as some of the key parts of the community, are going to be perched on some of the best views,” says Peter Jensen, senior development manager for Logan Landing.
Sustainability and preservation
Genesis Land, the community’s developer, designed Logan Landing with a focus on preserving the surrounding natural environment — after all, it’s what makes the community so special. It’s a sanctuary to the migratory nesting site of Great Blue Herons and has been designed to protect the native species in the area.
As part of the harmonious connection between the natural landscape and an idyllic living design, the community has three distinct neighbourhood zones, each offering unique views, landscapes and housing options. The Ridge is the upper area of the community nestled in a prairie landscape. The Bench is a terraced area overlooking the river valley and mountains with stunning views. The Valley is tucked in near the river, where you’ll find tranquility among native plants and grasses.
Genesis also ensures sustainability features can be easily integrated in its homes. Residents can expect access to green technology and renewable energy with rough-ins for electric vehicle chargers and solar panels in their homes. The community’s homes offer a variety of styles including craftsman, prairie, farmhouse and modern tudor styles, to suit many tastes.
Logan Landing is close to restaurants, shops and businesses, and is only a 25-minute drive from the city centre. Logan Landing is where you’ll find the intersection of peaceful living and a vibrant, urban lifestyle.

Mission Landing and The Nines: Quality Rental Living Awaits
OPUS Corporation brings its unique advantage and talent to create two new residential rental buildings for Calgarians to call home.
With building projects around Canada, OPUS Corporation has been a real estate industry pioneer for over 40 years. OPUS has distinguished itself by providing completely integrated services such as construction and project management, development, property management, leasing and marketing, and providing these services to residential, medical and retail buildings, offices and light industrial projects. The team behind OPUS advises and assists owners and investors of each project from the beginning to the end and beyond.
OPUS’s latest developments, Mission Landing and The Nines, will be its first projects developed for residential rental use. “We take great pride in making the city a better place, and I believe that our two new buildings will help to improve Calgary,” says Hannes Kovac, president and CEO of OPUS Corporation.
Mission Landing
The first of OPUS’s mixed-use residential buildings, located on the corner of Mission Road and Macleod Trail S.W., minutes from the Mission district, will be completed at the end of 2024. The six-storey building features 70 one- and two-bedroom units with spacious balconies that effortlessly combine intelligent design with eye-catching architecture and functional living areas. All tenants have access to the building’s rooftop patio, which has a dog walk, sun deck and a barbecue area. In addition, residents can take advantage of retail and personal service amenities on the main floor of the building. Mission Landing is ideal for those keen for downtown access, but not keen on living in the core.
The Nines
This six-storey development, slated for completion in late 2025, will be situated at the intersection of Elbow Drive and Southland Drive S.W. It will feature 86 suites with one or two bedrooms. The Nines boasts a rooftop patio with panoramic views of the mountains and Glenmore Reservoir. The main floor will be dedicated to retail spanning 13,500 square feet. Residents can take advantage of fitness, health and wellness services, coffee shops, restaurants for breakfast and lunch and much more. The Nines offers an inviting environment for established residents to settle down and enjoy the nearby parks and community centres. Its proximity to public transit makes commuting a breeze.
The OPUS advantage
Top-notch smart technology and security systems are outfitted in both Mission Landing and The Nines. Tenants can access the building via an app and use elevators or send QR codes to provide their guests and delivery services access. These security features, explains Kovac, ensure that no one can simply walk into the building. The app also provides easy communication between tenants and property managers and is a convenient way to set up rent payments without missing deadlines or making service requests.
“By bringing our advantage to these buildings, we can maximize convenience and minimize incidents or frustrations for our tenants,” affirms Kovac. “When our tenants come home, they can feel safe, relax, and leave the hustle and bustle of the day behind.”

Happiness is Homegrown in Rangeview
Calgary’s first garden-to-table community nourishes residents and fosters social connections through unique community designs.
Good things grow in Rangeview, an amenity-rich neighbourhood designed to rekindle an old-fashioned sense of community spirit. Every element of Calgary’s first garden-to-table community is thoughtfully designed to foster social connection, embrace the values of healthy living and boost community spirit. At Rangeview, it’s about getting to know your neighbours, building meaningful relationships and enjoying life together.
“Just as small-town Alberta communities have always been made stronger by the connections between neighbours and families, Rangeview will truly come alive when residents of every generation gather to learn, share and cultivate a vibrant way of life,” says Sarah Fehr, marketing team lead at Section23 Developments.
In this southeast neighbourhood, community gardens, greenhouses, orchards and farmer’s markets invite residents to gather over shared celebrations of food grown locally.
Celebrating garden-to-table food
Section23 Developments, the community’s developer, built Rangeview on agricultural urbanist principles, which led to the integration of local food planting, growing and harvesting into the community’s design and programming.
“As food is intrinsically connected with the social and cultural fabric of communities, the celebration of food is used to build lasting relationships between neighbours and provide residents with both fresh food and opportunities for community engagement, education and skill development,” says Fehr.
Residents can learn to garden through the demonstration gardens, share a hobby with a neighbour in the community gardens or enjoy the fruits of their labour with weekly produce pickups at the community greenhouse in the summer months. Orchards will feature fruit- and nut-bearing trees, and greenhouses will make year-round fresh and local produce possible.
The celebrations go beyond the gardens, too. Rangeview will host farmer’s markets, educational programs, cooking classes and food festivals for residents to build skills and create memories together.
Beyond food
Aside from food-focused initiatives, Rangeview offers plenty of other opportunities to gather. The community has over 60 acres allocated to open spaces for parks, playgrounds and sports fields. Plus, the Market Square, a community hub, will host markets and festivals, and the Harvest Hall will host both public programs and private events.
With its small-town feel, Rangeview amenities are within walking distance, with everything you need nearby. Ten acres of the community are dedicated to the Urban Village, where boutiques, shops and businesses will service the community and embrace healthy living.
Homes to suit all available now
Current home offerings in Rangeview include street townhomes, laned homes, front garage homes and semi-detached homes built by award-winning builders Baywest Homes, Daytona Homes, Homes by Avi, Hopewell Residential and Jayman BUILT.
Playgrounds, greenhouses, pathways and homes are open and available now, but more Rangeview plans are still underway. It will be a 320-acre community, ultimately serving nearly 10,000 like-minded residents at completion.
Visit any of Rangeview’s 10 show homes to see how you can plant your roots in this unique community.

We have seen first-time buyers and downsizers, along with families drawn to Park Place’s townhomes.”
Personalization in Park Place’s north expansion
Jayman BUILT has released two new buildings on the north side of Park Place, now allowing residents to personalize their future homes with Jayman’s styleMagic Design Centre. While the south side homes are spec homes with interior finishes selected by Jayman’s professionally certified interior designers, allowing for sooner move-in dates, the new north townhomes are able to be fully personalized. Homeowners can choose everything in their new townhome, from flooring to fixtures, countertops to lighting, and everything in between. The personalization aspect allows future residents to truly make their townhome theirs. The remaining buildings will be released at various intervals throughout 2024 and into 2025.
Park Place offers a diverse selection of eight different floor plans, all named after fine wines including Moscato, Prosecco, Chardonnay, Merlot, Malbec, Pinot, Shiraz and Cabernet. Just as there is a wine for everyone, there is a floor plan for every resident to choose from. Residents can choose street-facing or park-facing townhomes ranging from 1,380 to 1,742 square feet with two to three bedrooms and flex spaces, two-and-a-half bathrooms, and tandem or double-car garage options. This variety ensures that every resident’s needs and preferences are catered to.
Community moments in Central Green
From the air, Central Green looks reminiscent of Central Park in New York City. On the ground, it has that same urban park appeal. It spans a sprawling 13 acres of green space, complete with tennis courts and pickleball to stay active, a community garden and an amphitheatre that will be a popular gathering space for neighbourhood events. The green space is owned and developed by Hopewell Residential, the same developers behind the rest of Mahogany. Central Green is in its final development stages, with the eastern section of the project expected to finish in 2024.
As a focal point of Mahogany, which offers four-season living and abundant natural space, Central Green provides personalized living and a community space so every resident can enjoy relaxed and luxurious living at Park Place.

Urban Living in Harmony with Nature in Glacier Ridge
The new northwest community features top amenities in natural surroundings.
Positioned in highly sought-after Northwest Calgary, this new community is surrounded by rolling plains and coulees, sculpted by glaciers and rivers from the past, giving residents elegant views from connected pathways. Nature is woven into the community’s best-in-class amenities, from its fox-themed playground to its future residents association village offering a myriad of outdoor activities such as tobogganing and tennis.
Natural living and complementary amenities make it clear why Glacier Ridge is Calgary’s top-selling community this year.
Surround yourself with nature
“Glacier Ridge promotes a healthy, family-focused lifestyle, with access to ample amenities in the community and nearby,” says Brady Morrice, director of land development for Anthem, Glacier Ridge’s developer.
The community launched in 2022 with its first nature-themed playground; at its centre stands a bold fox-shaped structure for kids to ascend.

Goldwyn: In Harmony with Nature
This beautiful prairie estate community north of Calgary provides all the amenities of city living while being nature’s retreat.
Goldwyn, a serene community of prairie estates nestled in Rockyview County, offers all the conveniences of the big city only minutes away, but enjoys the peaceful seclusion of rural living. Surrounded by rustic beauty, Goldwyn is aptly named to honour the area’s golden wheat fields and breathtaking sunsets, enhancing the tranquil lifestyle on offer.
Melcor Developments has owned the land for decades, dating back to the 1970s. Now, as Goldwyn settles into the land, its development will be in the trusted hands of seven skilled and talented local builders.
“Goldwyn will accommodate the best of both worlds — urban servicing, densities and amenities with a rural feel including ample open space, dark skies and larger lots,” says Erin Cripps, sales and marketing coordinator at Melcor.
Designed with many natural features to complement its surroundings, Goldwyn focuses attention on a distinctive network of pathways that aligns with the land’s natural topography and enhances the charm of discovering each route. Each trail respects the greenery that grows naturally, and the new landscape follows the same approach, with drought-tolerant plants placed in higher elevations, while native trees and shrubs can be found at lower elevations and closer to water.
The community also has a number of ponds, creeks and wetlands that are home to a wide variety of wildlife and a planned nature-inspired playground. Complete with scenic views of the Rocky Mountains in the distance, and stunningly vivid prairie-sky sunsets in a rural setting, Goldwyn truly fosters a sense of harmony among residents and with the land.
