Unveiling Magna: Elevating Urban Living in University District with Jayman BUILT

With construction planned to begin this spring, an exciting new builder will be joining the University District community; Jayman BUILT. The newest project, Magna, is a luxury concrete-built condominium project that will provide a new level of elegance and convenient urban living in University District. Magna earned its name from the Latin  “Magna Cum Laude” distinction, meaning ‘with great praise,’ symbolizing Jayman’s commitment to showcasing the highest level of finishings that they have ever delivered in any product. 

For more than 40 years, Jayman BUILT has been a trailblazer in new home construction, sustainable building practices and energy-efficient designs. As we welcome Jayman to University District, we celebrate their commitment to innovation, showcased by spearheading the introduction of BUILT GREEN® in Alberta in 2005. Magna is set to be as environmentally friendly as possible by maximizing efficiency throughout, reducing water consumption, energy usage and the associated costs for future residents. 

“University District prides itself in offering a variety of home options from some of Calgary’s most successful builders. We are thrilled to welcome Jayman BUILT to University District. With mindful features and a focus on sustainability, we believe that Jayman is an exceptional addition to University District, and we look forward to formally celebrating this project launch,” says Gregg Callander, Interim President and CEO for University of Calgary Properties Group.
