Neighbourhood Plan

Residential development within Michener Park offers residents a variety of housing types to choose from to help create an inclusive, vibrant community. The plan shows a thoughtful mix of commercial uses, medium density homes (townhomes, apartments and condos), high density homes (apartments and condos), greenspaces and pathways.

Property 

The University of Alberta Properties Trust (UAPT) has established Michener Park as a 99-year land lease community.
This is a common practice with public entities in other big cities and national parks across Canada, and will support the University of Alberta’s faculty, students and research for generations to come.

Leasehold ownership holds exceptional value, and is just as common a way for developers and homeowners to purchase a home as a freehold purchase. Buyers remain in control of their home: they can renovate, decorate, sell or will their leasehold property as they would with any other property.

The University of Calgary’s University District, the University of British Columbia’s Wesbrook Village and Simon Fraser University’s UniverCity are proof of how this approach to serving the community with new residential, retail and commercial opportunities helps everyone – the residents, the university and the surrounding neighbourhoods – thrive.

Retail Tenants

The design of Michener Park is centred around a large commercial site offering residents – and neighbouring communities – easy access to a variety of shops and services, including everyday essentials. Our commercial site has also been designed to build community, including places for residents to meet and connect while supporting local businesses.

Watch this space as new commercial tenants are added to Michener Park!
