Luxuria Homes will bring a refined multi-family project featuring 184 homes to Calgary’s University District, located adjacent to the University of Calgary main campus
University District continues to expand its dynamic residential offerings with the addition of a new builder partner, Luxuria Homes. The Calgary-based builder will bring a collection of thoughtfully designed condominiums and townhomes to the community through a multi-family development that will deliver 184 new homes to University District upon completion. Construction is anticipated to begin next summer.
Luxuria Homes’ new condominium offering, Cadence, will feature 156 meticulously planned units ranging from 504 to 784 sq. ft., across two, five-storey modern buildings. Residents will enjoy a range of amenities including a private gym, a versatile amenity space with a spacious outdoor patio, secure entry, dedicated parking and a private outdoor patio for each unit.
Luxuria Homes’ new townhome offering, Vanguard, is a limited collection of 28 design-driven townhomes influenced by six distinctive cities – Kyoto’s calm, Marrakech texture, Stockholm’s simplicity, Manhattan’s edge, São Paulo’s modernism and Edinburgh’s rich history. Each of the three-storey homes across four buildings are intentionally different, offering approximately 1,900 sq. ft. of living space and three bedrooms with interiors that celebrate design as culture, not as trend. Every townhome will include a double-car garage equipped for EV charging and buyers will have the opportunity to choose a bespoke design package rooted in a specific city or aesthetic movement with unique finishes and materials to reflect that theme.

The new projects, designed by Gravity Architecture, are a contemporary and welcoming addition to University District’s urban landscape. The design emphasizes functional elegance and connection to greenspaces that complement the community’s pedestrian-friendly design.
Says Novy Cheema, President and CEO for University of Calgary Properties Group, “University District was created to bring people together through inspired design and a shared sense of place. We’re excited to welcome Luxuria Homes as our newest builder partner. Their reputation for quality craftsmanship, timeless design and commitment to community building aligns with the values that define University District.”
Founded in Calgary more than 20 years ago, Luxuria Homes is a family-owned builder recognized for creating homes that balance luxury, comfort and value. With projects spanning more than 14 communities across Calgary and surrounding areas, Luxuria Homes has built its reputation on precision construction, customizable design and elevated finishes that reflect the unique vision of each homeowner.
Says Hap Randev, Vice President, Operations & Strategy for Luxuria Homes, “Joining University District marks an exciting new chapter for Luxuria Homes. We’re proud to bring our expertise in multi-family design to one of Calgary’s most forward-thinking communities. This project reflects our dedication to building homes that combine modern architecture with enduring quality and a true sense of belonging.”
University District is one of Calgary’s most innovative urban communities, designed to integrate residential, retail and recreational spaces within walking distance. When completed, the community will include approximately 7,100 residential units, 13,000 residents and 300,000 sq. ft. of retail along its vibrant Retail Main Street.
The Luxuria project will be located adjacent to 39 Street NW and will continue to enhance University District’s appeal as a premier destination for Calgarians seeking connected, contemporary urban living.
Luxuria Homes’s Show Suite will open for public viewing at the University District Sales & Discovery Centre this Saturday, November 22, 2025. It is located at 4410 University Ave NW. A grand opening event is scheduled for 2026.
