East Hills Crossing Towns

Calgary is set to experience incredible growth! It is officially Canada’s 3rd largest city and has outpaced both Vancouver and Toronto in population growth over the past decade. Currently, Calgary is home to over 1.3 million people. The population in the province is expected to grow by an additional 46% by 2046. This massive demographic surge will lead to increased demand for real estate, resulting in consistently higher pricing and premium rental rates.

The Alberta economy is booming and just getting started! The region is transforming into a global tech hub with one of the highest ratios of STEM (Science, Tech, Engineering & Mathematics) graduates in the country. The “Energy Fix”: Alberta is one of the world’s largest oil producers. The Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion is the critical “fix,” moving oil to the West Coast for global ocean exports at higher pricing. This project is projected to create over $70 billion in revenue for producers and over $45 billion for the provincial and federal governments, bringing thousands of jobs to the sector. This environment is paving the path for multinational corporations and a growing number of “Tech Unicorns” (companies valued at over $1 billion), further driving housing and real estate needs.

Alberta is recognized as a lucrative destination for both business and real estate investment, boasting the lowest tax rates in the country. While buyers in Ontario or BC pay 1.5%–2% at closing, in Alberta you pay $0 in Land Transfer Taxes. On average, buyers in Ontario pay over $10,000 in development, levy, and education charges; in Alberta, you pay $0. There is no HST and no Provincial Sales Tax (PST)—buyers only pay the 5% GST. Alberta features the most rent-friendly jurisdictions in Canada with no rent control and no price caps, ensuring maximum performance for your investment. You may also consider other similar options in the same city, such as the Harmony Condos.
