The New Haskayne Development West of Tuscany Calgary

Tuesday, March 10th, 2015

I just recently attended an information open house at the Lynx Ridge Golf Course Club House that described in detail the new Haskayne Development including the Area Structure Plan, the plans for the landscape, city transit plan, the construction of roughly 3400 residential homes/lots and some awesome sounding commercial additions, all with a wholesome influence.  For those of you who don’t know the location, this will be just south of 12 Mile Coulee Road, and west of the Stoney Trail, past Home Depot in Tuscany on Nosehill Drive.   This whole development will be brought to us by Brookfield and it sounds great!!   Good news for the residents of Tuscany, the commercial sector will bring in some great new stores and amenities that Tuscany really needs!

As described to me, the developer will be using a very natural theme to the landscape and try to work with the flora and fauna that already exists in the area and surrounding coulee.  This is very important to the wildlife, and it sounds like Brookfield is doing their best to respect Mother Nature.  There are plenty of plans for parks and green space but the best news yet is that it will connect Cochrane to Calgary with bike paths that already meander through Glenbow Ranch.  This means that Calgarian and Cochrane residents will be able to make even more of their weekend bike rides along the river!  It also connects Cochrane to inner-city and downtown Calgary for those of you who enjoy long bike rides to and from work.  What a win!!

The plans will commence construction in 5 years if all goes well.  I could go on and on from what I learned at this open house out of excitement, but for now I will update you with more information as provided by the developer and the City of Calgary.

The Calgary housing market is showing signs of a sustained recovery according to figures released by the Calgary Real Estate Board.

The number of single family homes sold in November 2009 in the city of Calgary were up 63% from the same time a year ago, while condominium sales saw an even steeper increase–up 77% from the same time last year.

“A healthy demand for homes combined with a steadily decreasing inventory is holding prices firm,” says Bonnie Wegerich, president of the Calgary Real Estate Board.

“Clearly low borrowing costs are helping to fuel this recovery,” says Wegerich. “Many buyers want to get in while mortgage rates remain at record lows. Better employment numbers and an improving economic outlook are giving the market an added boost.”

The following is written and published by the Calgary Real Estate Board:

Calgary, November 2, 2009 – The Calgary housing market continued to rebound in October, according to figures released by the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB®).

“Calgary’s housing market has clearly turned a corner,” says Bonnie Wegerich, president of CREB®. “We expect there to be a few bumps on this road to recovery but we believe the worst is over.  Home prices have held firm and edged upwards in some markets over the past months.  This has helped buoy up the confidence of both buyers and sellers.”
