Our Timeline
1957
Put a ring on it?
The City of Calgary publicly releases its plans for a ring road around the city with a southwest bypass road proposed west of the Glenmore Reservoir, part of a major road plan exploration first started in 1952. Decades of wrangling over scale, alignment, and ownership would follow. Image courtesy of

A chance opportunity
Dream, then known to Calgarians as Dundee Development, acquires its first 320 acres of land west of 37th Street of what would at one point grow to over 1800 acres held in the region. The same year, negotiations for the Sarcee Trail Extension road began again with talks between the Tsuut’ina Nation, the City, and the Province.

A historic agreement
After a failed vote in 2009, members of the Nation vote in favor of a re-negotiated agreement with the province of Alberta to allow the final leg of Stoney Trail to be built on reserve land, which includes the transfer of 428 hectares of reserve land to Alberta for a transportation and utilities corridor.
2016
Budgeted, unlocked
Alberta’s government announces funding for Calgary’s long-awaited southwest ring road, an anticipated $2.2 billion, 5-year construction project.

Respect for the land
Reflecting the significance of the first development along the Tsuut’ina Nation’s southern boundary and the positive relationship Dream and the Nation had established together, a pipe ceremony is held with Nation members before any earth is disturbed.
2020
Groundbreaking
With over two decades of ongoing anticipation, Alpine Park broke ground with a carefully organized, socially-distanced ceremony which included media, partners, and His Worship Naheed Nenshi, Mayor of Calgary in attendance – a first for modern greenfield developments in the city.

First opening
Following a prayer given by Charlie Crowchild and a safe journey song led by councilor Ellery Starlight, dignitaries from the Nation, City and Province officially open Tsuut’ina Trail, the leg of the ring road crossing the reserve.

Ribbons are cut

Showhome Neighbourhood Reveal
With showhome construction begun Spring 2021, the first 7 of 13 showhomes were revealed at the end of October, marking the first exciting steps into Calgary’s new west and providing an opportunity for city residents to experience Alpine Park's unique streetscape first-hand.

Phase 2 Released
Building off the success of Phase 1 and a massive construction program over the course of the summer, Phase 2 was released in the fall and included two of the most exciting green court spaces yet - Orchard Green and Sanctuary Green.
