NEW CONSTRUCTION
Constructing the future of affordable living.
HomeSpace has a strong growth mandate to increase the number of affordable housing units available to Calgarians as part of Calgary’s Community Plan to End Homelessness. Once we complete construction or renovations to a building, we partner with a local social serving agency to provide social supports to residents in the building. We work with talented home builders, consultants, government, and the community through the planning and development of each project. Community consultation and engagement is important to us before and during the development of each building. We meet with community associations, neighbours and businesses in advance. We review Good Neighbour Communications with communities to ensure strong and open relationships going forward.
If you have concerns or questions about a planned development in your area, please contact us.

HomeSpace recently completed the development of a 4 storey, 35-unit affordable housing complex in Crescent Heights. This project hosts an innovative intergenerational program focused on connecting young indigenous mothers and their children with elders. The building helps foster a community of mutual support where seniors educate youth on Indigenous culture and traditions, while youth support seniors with daily living tasks and companionship.
HomeSpace partnered with Hopewell Residential who generously donated $1.4M in building costs towards the project. We received our development permit in December 2022; broke ground in Spring of 2023; and completed construction in the Winter of 2024. HomeSpace will hold and maintain the building as affordable housing for a minimum of 50 years.
Hope Heights houses 1-bedroom units where over 30% of those units are fully accessible. Residents currently benefit from 23-32% below market rents for Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH).
HomeSpace always partners with a social serving agency to provide supports for our residents including income testing, referrals, social supports, and community building. In Hope Heights, residents have access to these services through Highbanks Society & McMan Youth and Community Services of Calgary.
Hope Heights
Family Lease Site
HomeSpace is excited to announce that we have been awarded a City of Calgary Family Lease Site, at 3510 34 Street NE. As part of the City of Calgary’s Housing Strategy, this site is intended for affordable family housing to alleviate the pressure of the housing crisis on low-income families experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
In the community of Horizon/Whitehorn, in close proximity to the C-Train line, we plan to construct 52 units of 2-storey, 3-bedroom townhouses. These homes will provide much-needed affordable housing as well as amenity space, playgrounds, ample parking, and supportive programming ensuring a nurturing environment for families to thrive.
