Greenfield land development

Airdrie’s real estate market story continues to be that of pent-up demand. As one of Canada’s fastest growing cities, the expanding population is generating demand for non-residential space. Airdrie’s planned growth and available land provide real estate developers with attractive opportunities.

Airdrie boasts approximately 550 acres of industrial (light, medium and heavy) and 100 acres of commercial / mixed-use lands that have Community Area Structure Plans in place and are immediately serviceable. From shovel ready, to privately held land still open for development, Airdrie Economic Development will guide you from search to shovel in the ground.
