Located on the 156-acre (63-hectare) former Canadian Forces Base Calgary, Garrison Woods is one of three communities planned by CLC for one of Canada’s fastest growing cities.

Developed using the principles of New Urbanism, CLC worked with its private sector partners to create a compact, pedestrian-friendly community. Our shared goal was to build a space where residents are never more than a few minutes away from parks, schools, green space and access to public transit. With 1,600 housing units ranging from single-family homes to townhouses and apartments, as well as retail shops and services located on the property, the development offers something for everyone.

Garrison Woods also celebrates its association with its military past, by retaining existing street names from the former Canadian Forces Base. As a gesture of respect to the Base’s history, Garrison Woods also incorporates memorials to pay tribute to the men and women of Canada’s military.

Garrison Woods was completed in 2004, and has since become one of Calgary’s most desirable neighbourhoods.
