On a clear night, the celestial dance of the stars is easily observed from the heights of Vermilion Hill in Calgary’s southwest.

Located within the city’s dark skies corridor that seeks to preserve the night sky from light pollution, Vermillion Hill has captivated homeowners not just with its scenic views from one of the highest points in Calgary, but with the relaxed, nature-centric lifestyle it offers.

Today, there’s even more opportunities for new homebuyers to find out what it would be like to live in such a unique community, as Vermilion Hill launches its next phase.

“The launch of Vermilion Hill Phase 4 has been met with a lot of excitement,” says Rishika Dave, Communications Specialist at Qualico Communities Calgary.

“Homebuyers are now experiencing the community truly taking shape. With views of downtown Calgary and the Rocky Mountains from the playground, gazebo, and pathway areas, and with nearby commercial areas ready, buyers are getting a better overall feel of the community. Visitors can tour the new showhomes and view available lots in Phase 4, some of which back onto green space.”

Much to offer

The southwest has always been the preferred sector for building family homes in Calgary. For the longest time, that’s where everyone wanted to buy a home to settle down. Who can blame them? The southwest was one of the earliest residential areas to be developed in the city, so it’s an established, amenity-rich area with all the benefits of urban living as well as plenty of opportunities to enjoy nature’s beauty.

Vermilion Hill brings a fresh new vibe to Calgary’s southwest with its multitude of offerings that has attracted new homebuyers from all stages of life. From young couples looking for their first home, to empty-nesters looking for a new home to fit a changing lifestyle, and families looking for a place to set roots in, Vermilion Hill has it all.

There are plenty of the much-needed amenities already existing nearby that make life here a breeze. It’s only a five-minute drive to the new Taza (commercial and cultural) complex, the Costco, and the 7 Chiefs Sportsplex. It is also just a 10-minute drive to Shawnessy Shopping Centre, which has ample dining, grocery, and entertainment amenities.

But its enviable amenity-rich location is only second to its appeal as an enclave for those looking to live closer to nature.

Vermilion Hill is surrounded by nature, its own enchanted forest, to coin a phrase. It is mere steps away from Fish Creek Park, the largest urban park in the city that’s home to wildlife, paved and gravel pathways, picnic areas, riverside trails, fishing spots and so much more.

Since its grand opening in the fall of 2022, Vermilion Hill has set the stage to bring the community’s vision to life, and the release of its Phase 4 brings it even closer to this goal.

Pristine location

Located just west of Tsuut’ina Trail and north of Highway 22x, Vermilion Hill offers some of the most spectacular views of both the city and the Rocky Mountains. “That’s one of the biggest observations from our visitors,” Dave says. With a wide range of product types to choose from, the community appeals to many buyers looking for a brand-new home in this much sought-after area.

The vision behind Vermilion Hill is to create a vibrant, inclusive community where nature and city living coexist seamlessly.

“It’s designed for people who love the outdoors while staying connected to the city,” she adds. “Whether you’re enjoying the surrounding parks and pathways, taking in views of the Rocky Mountains or downtown Calgary, or simply stepping outside to appreciate the night sky in this designated dark sky community, Vermilion Hill promotes a lifestyle rooted in an appreciation for nature.”

What sets Vermilion Hill apart is its unbeatable location and thoughtful planning. Nestled in Southwest Calgary just west of Stoney Trail, the community offers easy access to Fish Creek Park, Bragg Creek, Kananaskis, and the Ann & Sandy Cross Conservation Area.

“It combines scenic beauty with everyday convenience—ideal for families who want nature on their doorstep and city amenities close by. With over 160 acres planned across six phases and features like a storm pond park, playgrounds, a gazebo with downtown views, and a future school, this is a community built for the long term,” Dave explains.

Latest offerings

The community’s highly anticipated phase brings a variety of new homes from six highly touted builders, all thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of a diverse range of families.

The lineup includes laned homes and townhomes by NuVista Homes, Broadview Homes, and Shane Homes, as well as front garage homes by Genesis Builders, Homes by Avi, and Sterling Homes. Pricing begins in the mid $500s for townhomes, low $600s for laned homes, and mid $700s for front garage homes. Select lots in this phase offer added value by backing onto scenic playfields adjacent to the community’s future school site.

“The launch of Phase 4 is an exciting step forward for Vermilion Hill,” Dave, says. “Our grand opening in June was a great opportunity for families to tour the new showhomes, connect with builders, learn about promotions, and to experience the community in person.”

Six new showhomes include Laned Showhomes on Alpine Avenue SW, and Front Garage Showhomes on Versant Grove SW. “Homebuyers are encouraged to visit the new showhomes to learn more about available lots and experience the beautifully designed homes in this stunning southwest community,” Dave says.

Broadview Homes, Shane Homes, and Nuvista Homes have also begun selling townhomes, offering even more options for those looking to make Vermilion Hill their home.
