Located in the master-planned lakeside community of Mahogany, Westman Village is one of Calgary’s largest residential developments, bringing together diverse housing options, resort-style amenities, and a vibrant multigenerational community.
Challenge
As one of the region’s first major developments, this project helps set the tone for the broader community. The design needed to create a cohesive, vibrant destination for residents of all ages and income levels while carefully distributing height and density to limit shadow impacts on surrounding homes and park spaces.
Solution
Situated on a 13.6-acre site, Westman Village delivers 900 homes across 20 residential buildings, including rental units, condominiums, townhomes, and seniors housing. Using a blend of traditional and contemporary architectural styles characterized by clean lines, earth tones, wood accents, and low-pitch roofs, the development appeals to a wide variety of demographics while maintaining a distinct identity. Amenities provide opportunities for residents to gather and interact, while tunnels and covered walkways enhance accessibility and create an urban village in a suburban setting.
Outcome
With 90% of parking located in underground parkades, Westman Village maximizes land use while minimizing vehicle impacts on the pedestrian realm. Housing options ranging from independent living to assisted care promote social integration across generations and help address social isolation among seniors.
Designed as a resort-style urban village, the development connects residents through a network of amenities, covered walkways, and shared gathering spaces.
