Optimistic outlook for 2026 (Part 1)

Calgary remains to be the engine for new home growth in the country, and the outlook for 2026 remains optimistic.

“Alberta continues to lead Canada in population and economic growth, with Calgary at the forefront thanks to its competitive advantages: a diverse and growing workforce, robust infrastructure, and a business-friendly environment,” says BILD Calgary Region CEO Brian Hahn.

He believes growth is still in the forecast with Calgary’s varied new home owning opportunities. “For homebuyers next year, it’s important to explore options early and act with confidence. Calgarians are looking for homes that balance lifestyle, location and affordability.”

He adds that BILD Calgary Region members are delivering more options than ever – townhomes, condos, and single-family homes, not to mention more new communities – so buyers have real choice while keeping affordability front and center.

Here are some of the newest opportunities that buyers can look forward to in the New Year.

Apex

Apex is coming out swinging in 2026, as they launch the new community of Monarch in southwest Calgary.

“This stunning new community will offer some of the most breathtaking city views situated in Calgary’s desirable SW quadrant,” says Apex Development Coordinator, Michelle Wilken. “We can’t wait to share more about Monarch as we get closer to launch. Stay tuned for exciting updates coming in early 2026.”

“We are selling our fourth and final phase in Creekstone – and it brings some of the most desirable homesites in the entire community,” Wilken says. “This limited release includes duplex lots fronting directly onto the park, premium lots backing onto greenspace, and rare front-drive homes with alley access.”

Silver Spruce is also introducing its final phase. “Our Phase 4 will feature an impressive selection of lots backing onto the community’s highly sought-after green space. We will also be releasing more of our popular duplex lots, which continue to sell quickly in this exclusive community.” For more information, go to apexland.com.

Brookfield Residential

2025 was a spectacular year for Brookfield Residential in Calgary, capped by the opening of the two new communities of Seton Ridge (SE) and Starling (NW), along with the multitude of new showhomes in the city. Another stellar year is ahead in 2026.

In March, Brookfield will be opening townhome showhomes for Rhythm in Taza Park in the southwest, as well as Brightside in Main in the standout community of Seton in the southeast.

In June, Brookfield is slated to hold the grand opening of front-drive garage, laned, and duplex showhomes in their rapidly growing Rockland Park community in the northwest. The community will also see the sales launch for their new Range West showhomes in the second quarter on the year, with showhomes expected by the fourth quarter of 2026.

Mary Aucoin, Senior Marketing Manager, Calgary Communities, says it will be a little quieter than this year coming off of back-to-back community openings and celebrating two brand new HOA facilities. But they aren’t resting on their laurels.

New developments are going on in Seton, including their first purpose-built rental townhomes, along with a bunch of exciting retailers opening in Seton’s Market Street in the next few months.

“The much anticipated first commercial space in Livingston will be coming to market late next year,” Aucoin adds. “We will have a few different fun pop-up events over the year as well to keep momentum going in our communities Livingston, Starling, Rockland Park, Seton and Seton Ridge.

Chinook Gate is selling its final phase and will most likely be closing showhomes mid 2026.” Go to brookfieldresidential.com for more.

Jayman BUILT

It had been a very busy 2025 at Jayman BUILT, as their land division (Jayman Living) launched Nostalgia Townlet in southeast Calgary to great acclaim last fall.

“Homebuyers can expect Jayman to continue delivering the best included value in all our homes combined with a dedicated focus on customer experience through the Jayman journey,” says Tanya Durkic, Sales Manager Calgary. “We are constantly innovating – whether it is floorplan design, energy efficiency and smart home technology!”

Jayman will open new showhomes across several new phases and new communities in 2026, with exciting openings coming to both the north and south ends of the city. “We’ll also be launching several new townhome projects that bring fresh design and attainable pricing, as well as several exciting showhome openings in Spring through Fall,” she adds.

“Street Town product currently in Seton and Wolf Willow with no condo fees have been very successful and we are hoping to expand that offering to different communities in Calgary.”

Much focus will be on Nostalgia Townlet, where road paving work has now been completed to connect the riverside community to 212 Ave SE. Now on pre-sale are the Icona Townhomes in Nostalgia Townlet. “They are revolutionary to Jayman’s townhome offering – with no condo fees but unique floorplans in this one-of-a-kind community,” Durkic says.

Logel Homes

One of Calgary’s most awarded multi-family developers is continuing the momentum it gained in 2025 with the release of Meridian in Seton. Pre-sales have started, and they are off to a hot start.

“We look to provide more move-in-ready offerings as the sense of assurance that comes with a completed home has resonated with buyers,” says Director of Sales & Marketing, Reilly LePage.

Logel will have new building releases across Meridian Seton, Waterside at Mahogany, Sage Walk Ravines, Seton West Phase 2, Sage Walk Bridges, Altitude at Three Sisters Mountain Village, and Livingston Central.

“We’ll also be opening three new show suites in Altitude, three in Sage Walk Ravines, and two in Sage Walk Bridges,” he adds. More information will be available at logelhomes.com.

More exciting new home developments will be announced next month in Part 2 of the 2026 Calgary Outlook.
