New 200-Acre Currie community to set a standard in smart growth and sustainable design
The new community at the 200-acre (80.9-hectare) site is based on the principles of smart growth and sustainable community design. The vision for Currie will build on the successful designs at Garrison Woods and Garrison Green to create an even more dense community with a richer mix of land uses, housing types and servicing innovations to achieve a more complete and integrated neighbourhood.
Currie was designed to set a new standard in sustainable development. This includes traffic-calmed streets and pedestrian networks that bring most residents within a five-minute walk of shops, parks and public transportation.
At full development, Currie is expected to include approximately 5,700 housing units of various types, 250,000 square feet (23,226 square metres) of retail space, roughly 615,000 square feet (57,135 square metres) of office space and 23 acres (9.3 hectares) of parks and open, accessible public areas.
In the fall of 2023 according to CMHC’s Housing Market Information Portal, the vacancy rate for the Southwest area of Calgary was 0.8% and the total rental market in the Calgary area holds a universe of 5,118 units.
