The Site

The site at 1406 26 Street SW is a vacant parcel located at the southeast corner of Bow Trail and 26 Street SW, right next to Shaganappi Park and just steps from the Shaganappi Point LRT Station. Its location creates a natural setting for a walkable, transit-oriented development that aligns with the City’s long-term vision for the area.

The Project

Onward is proposing a Land Use Redesignation to support a five storey, multi-residential building with approximately 63 affordable housing units.

This proposal responds to the goals outlined in the Westbrook Local Area Plan, which encourages higher-density housing near major corridors and transit infrastructure, while promoting welcoming, inclusive communities.

The development will offer affordable housing options close to parks, public transit, and essential services—an approach that supports both livability and long-term sustainability.

The Process

Onward is in the early stages of the development process for 1406 26 Street SW, seeking a Land Use Redesignation to enable the development of new affordable housing in the Shaganappi community. Our application was submitted to the City of Calgary in April 2025, with a decision anticipated by Summer 2025.

This project is part of a City of Calgary initiative to create more affordable housing opportunities across the city. In early 2025, Onward was selected as one of four affordable housing providers to purchase City-owned land at below-market value, a key action under Home is Here — The City’s Housing Strategy. This strategy is helping to build more inclusive and connected communities while addressing the urgent need for affordable homes.

Information Session

Onward is committed to working closely with the community throughout this process. We invite you to join an upcoming virtual Information Session to learn more about the proposed Land Use Redesignation, as questions, and share your feedback.
