The Vision
"Just west of Calgary, where the foothills begin to roll toward the Rocky Mountains, a rare kind of community has taken shape."
The Acres is a carefully planned residential estate community set within the Elbow River valley. A select number of private estate parcels, each between 1.2 and 2.0 acres, designed with architecture, privacy, and natural beauty as the guiding principles.
Here, Alberta's foothills beauty meets modern convenience without compromise. The Acres delivers what most developments only promise.
A community defined by what it is, and what it will always remain.

The Land
Large acreage parcels within close proximity to Calgary are increasingly rare.
Each lot at The Acres was designed as a canvas for exceptional architecture. Building envelopes are carefully positioned to maximize privacy, preserve view corridors, and celebrate the terrain. No two lots feel the same, yet every one belongs to the same considered landscape.
From the river ridge to the upper foothills, mountain views and valley vistas are woven into daily life. Mature vegetation corridors, the Elbow River, and expansive Alberta skies form the backdrop for every home.
Life at The Acres
The Acres embraces the idea that great communities extend far beyond individual homes.
Innovation & Infrastructure
At The Acres, the landscape comes first, and world-class infrastructure quietly supports it. Every home is served by a complete community system, designed for long-term reliability and simplicity, consolidated into one professionally managed structure.
Community potable water system with treatment and storage, paired with an on-site industrial wastewater facility. Safe, sustainable, and entirely independent of municipal supply.
Full-service waste and recycling collection managed under the community fee. Scheduled pickup, sorted recycling, and composting — handled professionally so residents never have to coordinate logistics.
Community-scale power generation offering rates better than market to every home, through a dedicated industrial power system designed for long-term efficiency and sustainability.
Unlimited gigabit fibre to every home, purpose-built for modern estate living. Seamlessly supports home automation, integrated security systems, and professional-grade remote work without compromise.
Controlled entry and dedicated monitoring ensure privacy and peace of mind are woven into daily life at The Acres.
Maintained private roads with year-round snow removal and long-term resurfacing, managed so you never have to think about it.
Community Ownership & Equity
The Acres is structured as a Bareland Condominium, a model that aligns every homeowner's interests with the long-term preservation of the whole community.
As a homeowner at The Acres, you hold not only your private estate lot, but a genuine equity interest in the collective lands and infrastructure of the entire community. This is not merely shared liability, it is shared ownership.
The approximately 100 acres of common land, encompassing the river corridor, green spaces, recreation areas, trails, and natural buffers, is held collectively by all homeowners. Every owner holds an equal share in this extraordinary asset. You have not just bought a lot. You have bought a stake in the landscape itself.
Decisions about the common lands are made by the community, governed by the owners, for the owners, and protected by the permanent legal framework of collective ownership.
More than half of The Acres will never be developed. River corridors, trails, natural meadows, and foothills terrain are preserved in perpetuity, held in common by the owners.
The Bareland Condo model consolidates infrastructure into one predictable structure, while ensuring each owner holds genuine equity in both their private lot and the shared community lands.
You and your fellow owners govern the community together. From landscape decisions to facility management, The Acres is shaped by the people who live in it.
Architecture
Distinctive. Harmonious. Uncompromising in quality.
Architectural guidelines encourage creativity while maintaining quality and cohesion. Natural materials, stone, timber, and brick, pair with strong rooflines and proportional design to create homes rooted in the foothills landscape.
Every home responds to its specific terrain, views, and natural light. The result is a neighbourhood where each residence is unmistakably individual, yet unmistakably part of The Acres.
Stone, timber, and brick — materials that age with grace and honour the foothills setting.
Proportional design with rooflines that complement, rather than compete with, the mountain horizon.
Homes positioned to work with the land, not against it. Grade changes become design features.
Building envelopes protect view corridors for every homeowner — yours and your neighbours'.

Location & Proximity
Close enough to city life. Far enough from the noise.
The Acres sits in Springbank, ideally positioned along Calgary's western edge. As the city grows outward along the ring road corridor, residents here are positioned perfectly: close enough to benefit, far enough to remain truly away.
Ten minutes from the ring road strikes the ideal balance. At The Acres, you arrive home to quiet fields and mountain views, with the full reach of Calgary's amenities a short drive away.
As southwest Calgary grows, all future amenity development will orient toward the ring road corridor. Ten minutes away means access without proximity. Connected to everything, removed from the density.
