New Affordable Housing Development Announced for Long-Vacant Midfield Site
Construction crews are now building new housing on the site of the former Midfield Mobile Home Park, which has remained vacant since 2018. A portion of the homes being constructed will be designated as affordable by the developer, according to an announcement made on April 30, 2026.
The project marks a significant step toward addressing Calgary's housing needs, utilizing a long-dormant parcel of land. The development includes a mix of market-rate and affordable units, aiming to provide options for a range of income levels.
Local officials have expressed support for the project, noting that it will help alleviate pressure on the city's housing market. The developer has committed to ensuring that the affordable units remain accessible for the long term.
Residents in the surrounding community have welcomed the news, as the vacant site had become an eyesore and a source of concern over the years. The new development is expected to include amenities such as green spaces and community areas.
Construction is already underway, with the first phase scheduled for completion in early 2027. The developer plans to build multiple phases, eventually adding hundreds of new homes to the area.
