Transit-Oriented Communities

More Connection. More Community.

Bringing development expertise, masterplanning experience
and community connection to new Transit-Oriented Communities (TOC) in Calgary.

Our History

Realizing development potential

  • CMLC forged a partnership with the City of Calgary that supports the City’s housing goals and leverages CMLCs expertise in master planning and community development to realize development potential on city-owned transit-oriented development sites along Calgary’s Red Line.

  • Our work in East Village has earned us the recognition of peers across Canada and around the world—and more importantly, the trust of Calgarians across the city.

  • In late 2024, CMLC received approval from City Council for $20 million to kick-start TOC development outside the Rivers District.

Our Process

CMLC is the right team to steward new TOC Development.

Our approach starts with community engagement to help us understand what’s most needed, and our proven placemaking and masterplanning experience is driven to attract development, improve services, expand green spaces and gathering places, and create flourishing, walkable new hubs in neighbourhoods.

Our process, brought to TOC sites, will result in a community-informed and market viable master plan for each that creates a balance of places to live, shop and enjoy. CMLC’s role is also to engage with capable private developers who will design and build housing and mixed-use developments guided by the master plan.

New Homes. Dynamic Neighbourhoods. Better Calgary.

We are in the early stages of exploring potential master planned Transit-Oriented Communities at Fish-Creek-Lacombe, Dalhousie and Anderson LRT stations.

These sites are located on underutilized City land along transit lines where opportunity exists to bring thoughtful density and a choice of housing, retail/commercial space and amenities to growing neighbourhoods. This serves both Calgarians looking for housing options and adds to the quality of life of current residents. TOCs encourage transit use by putting more people within walking distance of stations, which can speed up commutes—and because they bring new homes to underutilized land, TOCs also generate tax revenues that are reinvested in our city. They’re a smart, strategic solution to bring more needed housing to our city.
