Taza Park is part of a broader 1,200-acre master-planned community situated on Tsuut’ina Nation land, just west of Calgary's city limits. The development is designed to accommodate approximately 12,000 residents through the construction of over 6,500 residential units. In addition to housing, the plan includes more than one million square feet of retail and commercial space, featuring a 150,000-square-foot main street offering shopping, dining, and entertainment options. citeturn0search1

Brookfield Residential will introduce 'Rhythm' at Taza Park, offering two- and three-bedroom townhomes equipped with walk-out and rooftop patios, as well as spacious garages accommodating up to three cars. Crystal Creek Homes plans to develop 'Juniper Ridge,' a series of villas that provide options for walkout basements, lofts, and secondary suites, catering to multigenerational living. Homes by Avi will present 'Aurora,' consisting of 46 townhomes with two- and three-bedroom layouts, 24 of which will include secondary suites, all under a no-condo-fee structure. citeturn0search0

The development emphasizes sustainability and cultural integration, incorporating over 20 acres of green space, including parks, wetlands, and dedicated dog parks. Its proximity to natural areas like Weaselhead Flats and North Glenmore Park further enhances the community's appeal. citeturn0search0

Construction of essential infrastructure, including roadways, utilities, and a culturally significant water reservoir, is already underway. This reservoir, designed in collaboration with a Tsuut’ina Nation Elder, features a conical shape inspired by a tipi and reflects the cultural heritage of the Tsuut’ina people. citeturn0search0
