Upper West
Smart growth
through infill housing.
Upper West achieves smart growth in the form of established area multi-residential infill.
Located in in the community of West Hillhurst, Upper West sensitively intensifies a site comprised of three lane-oriented single-family detached homes to forty-five apartment-style dwellings within a street-oriented four-storey building form.
In line with Truman’s commitment to a high-quality ‘bricks and mortar’ outcome, the City of Calgary qualified the Upper West redevelopment for a pilot Concurrent Land Use Redesignation and Development Permit. This innovative process allowed the project team to work with The City and community stakeholders on both the Land Use Redesignation and Development Permit applications simultaneously, providing the greater level of detail needed to give certainty to all stakeholders.
The resulting development aligns the proposed land use change with a high-quality and well-thought-out design outcome that ensures the long-term health and resilience of the West Hillhurst community.
