22 Jan 2026
University District closed out 2025 with strong momentum, marked by award recognition and major construction milestones for a neighbourhood designed around connection, walkability, and long-term livability.
University District’s approach has always been about more than individual buildings. It’s about mindful design, long-term planning, and ensuring each new phase builds on what already exists. In 2026, that means welcoming new residents, completing key projects, and continuing to invest in the experiences that bring the community to life.
That forward-looking mindset is echoed by U/D’s builder partners as they reflect on milestones ahead and the role their projects play in shaping what’s next.
Dean’s Landing by Rohit Homes offers both condos and townhomes, and welcomed their first residents in 2025.

Says Mike Dziubina, Vice President for Rohit Homes Calgary, “In 2026, Rohit Homes is thrilled to welcome some of the final homeowners as Dean’s Landing reaches its last chapter, a community designed to feel like home from day one. Our homes feature thoughtful design and quality craftsmanship, with premium finishes included so you can entertain effortlessly and live the way you want. Young professionals will love being steps from the university, shopping, gyms, restaurants, parks, and dog-friendly spaces. And for those looking to simplify without giving up style or connection, Dean’s Landing offers low-maintenance living that fits your next chapter.”
Magna by Jayman BUILT condos are located at 4180 Kovitz Ave NW, just steps away from Northwest Commons Park.

Says Michael Klassen, Director of Sales and Customer Experience for Jayman BUILT, “We’re looking ahead to 2026 with great anticipation. With three new show suites opening in Magna Luxury Condominiums by Jayman BUILT at the close of last year and three more set to follow, we’re pleased to welcome more guests to experience everything this exceptional community has to offer. This year also marks a significant milestone as we will reach construction completion and welcome Magna’s very first residents home, an exciting next chapter in the community’s evolution.”
GUILD by Crystal Creek Homes offers thoughtfully designed townhomes overlooking the North Pond.

Says Karla Takasaki, Marketing Manager for Crystal Creek Homes, “We are excited to welcome our buyers home in the coming months as the first buildings at GUILD Townhomes reach completion and families begin moving into their new luxury townhomes. This year also brings the opening of a new showhome in the first completed building, giving prospective buyers the opportunity to experience the finished townhomes firsthand, with continued construction and more homeowners joining the community throughout the year. We are excited to see the GUILD Townhome community take shape.”
Autumn by Homes by Avi condos offer the convenience of living directly on Retail Main Street.

Says Vered Amir, VP of Brand Leadership & Community Engagement for Homes By Avi, “Homes by Avi is proud to welcome homeowners to Autumn, marking our third building to be completed on University Avenue in University District. Since the community’s inception, Homes by Avi has been committed to building for the long term—not just homes, but a legacy. Autumn represents the culmination of that vision, offering unmatched value in the community’s most walkable location and the closest condo residences to the University of Calgary. With only 10 homes remaining from $335,900, and a limited-time promotion of a Free Parking Stall for the next 10 homeowners, Autumn is a rare opportunity. With Spring 2026 possession ahead, this is a moment Homes by Avi is proud to celebrate—and one buyers won’t want to miss.”
The recently announced Cadence condo and Vanguard townhome projects reflect Luxuria Homes’ first chapter in University District, with a continued focus on thoughtful design and creating spaces that respond to evolving lifestyles while strengthening U/D’s connected, people-first vision.

“Joining University District marks an exciting new chapter for Luxuria Homes,” says Hap Randev, Vice President, Operations & Strategy for Luxuria Homes. “We’re proud to bring our expertise in multi-family design to one of Calgary’s most forward-thinking communities. These projects reflect our dedication to building homes that combine modern architecture with enduring quality and a true sense of belonging.”
Builder’s perspectives like these highlight how projects across University District are thoughtfully aligned with long-term growth, ensuring each new phase enhances the neighbourhood experience as a whole.
