All data is approximate. Records are anonymized: locations are shown by community (or quadrant where a community has 2 or fewer records), sizes are rounded (lot to 250 sf, building to 100 sf), and prices are shown in $50K bands. Compiled from public City of Calgary data and MLS®/IDX listing data as of early October 2026. Listing status, development-permit status and prices change. Nothing here is verified for any specific purchase. Unit counts marked “unverified” are not confirmed in City records. Under-construction stages are inferred from City permit and trade-inspection records and may lag what is happening on site. Not an offer or solicitation; buyers should do their own due diligence.
- Project stage
- Land/DP only: a lot with no released or pending development permit. Shovel-ready: DP approved/released or pending release, no building permit yet. Under construction – underway: new-building permit issued and City trade rough-in inspections recorded. Under construction – finishing: trade final inspections recorded. Permit issued – not started: building permit issued but no inspection activity found in City data yet. Under-construction projects are new multi-unit buildings (rowhouse/townhouse, 4-plex and up, multi-residential, mixed-use) on M-C1, M-C2, MU-1, MU-2 or R-CG lots, with building permits issued since late 2023.
- Listing
- Whether the property or its new units were found on MLS® in early October 2026. Under-construction projects may be listed as a whole building (one price for all units) or per unit. Presale offerings outside MLS® were not checked.
- DP stage
- Development permit for the shown project: Approved/released (permit released), Pending release (approved, with prior-to-release conditions or the appeal period outstanding), In review (application under review or on hold), None (no current multi-unit permit; construction type shows the zoning potential).
- Shovel-ready
- Yes = DP approved/released or pending release, and no new-building permit issued yet as of early October 2026. A building permit is still needed.
- Units / suites
- Units = dwelling units in the approved/proposed project. Secondary suites are additional. For under-construction projects, units come from the building permit(s) or DP, and suites are shown where the permit description states them.
- Price band
- On-market: asking price band (for under-construction projects, marked “whole bldg” or “per unit”; a per-unit range spans the listed units). Off-market: 2026 City assessment band (labelled “Assessed”). For projects under construction the assessment mostly reflects land or partial construction, not the finished building. It is not an asking price, and off-market owners have not indicated they want to sell.
- Price vs assessment
- Asking price compared with the 2026 City assessment: Under <95%, At 95–105%, Over >105%.
- Zoning / zoning change
- Zoning is the current district on the City of Calgary land use map (checked October 2026). Calgary’s citywide rezoning was repealed effective August 4, 2026, and most parcels rezoned to R-CG in 2024 returned to their earlier zoning, unless they had a qualifying R-CG application. Zoning changed – DP-dependent means the parcel’s current zoning (for example R-C1 or R-C2) no longer allows the multi-unit project shown, so its potential depends on the existing development permit staying valid. Zoning changed (still multi-unit) means the district changed but still allows multi-unit housing.
- Transit
- Straight-line distance to the nearest CTrain station (≤800 m), MAX/BRT stop (≤400 m) or bus stop (≤400 m), from City of Calgary open data.
- Building size
- Existing building above-grade area from listing data, where known. Blank for vacant lots and off-market sites.
