life works here
Morning coffee on the go. Dogs tugging toward the North Pond. A grocery run, a quick trim, and a sunset patio drink, all within a few blocks.
Feet-First
A connected network of wide sidewalks and multi-use pathways links you to everything from groceries and gyms to greenspace and ice cream. The community is built for moving at your own pace, reducing reliance on cars, and saving time.
Urban Energy, Neighbourhood Ease
Home to over 50 shops, restaurants, and services, University District is a new kind of neighborhood where everything you need is a short walk away. It brings together the energy of city living with the comfort and connection of a close-knit community.
Mindfully
Made
As Alberta’s first LEED-ND Platinum-certified community, University District is built for lower-impact living and exceptional everyday comfort. Greenspace is incorporated throughout, buildings are positioned to maximize natural light, and landscaping includes hardy, low-maintenance plants that thrive year-round.
Prime Location with Long-Term Value
Close to the University of Calgary, Market Mall, Foothills Medical Centre, Alberta Children’s Hospital, and multiple CTrain connections, University District offers quick access to the downtown core by car or transit, making it a great place to live and invest.

“There’s something for everyone. Young professionals, retirees, students, families. It makes the whole place feel alive.”
“I was one of the first residents. When I worked at Ronald McDonald House I could walk to work and not rely on my car. We used to live in the suburbs, now, we can walk to get groceries, meet friends for coffee, or see a movie.”
