  • No cookie cutters.
  • No chasing trends.

Founded in 2018, Oldstreet was borne out of a desire to build better – better homes, better communities and a better Calgary.

Stylish projects, each one unique. No cookie cutters, and no chasing trends leaving homes and communities feeling dated and listless. We create buildings that hold their value while enhancing and reinforcing community character.

We bring much needed quality housing stock to inner city communities, contributing to more dense, thriving communities – communities that we ourselves, and our kids, and their kids, will want to live in.

Oldstreet | Calgary Real Estate Development

With each development we ask ourselves “does this look great now and will this look great 10, 20, 50 years from now? Does this create a more beautiful, vibrant and livable community? Is this a home we would want to live in ourselves?” These questions guide our every decision throughout the creative process.

Our Inspiration

We have spent time exploring iconic neighbourhoods in global cities such as London’s Chelsea, Manhattan’s Greenwich Village, Brooklyn’s Park Slope and Boston’s Beacon Hill (we suggest you do the same!). We love the density, walkability, access to local amenities, diversity and character in these communities. We are inspired by the timeless and dramatic brownstones and other low and medium density housing options in these neighbourhoods and the lifestyle they afford their residents. In fact, Oldstreet is named after a tube station in London!

Oldstreet Development | Inspiration

We constantly seek new and interesting global destinations for travel – we draw inspiration from unique cultures, weather, lifestyles, art, architecture, design, cuisine and much more. We have been moved to action by the Pura Vida lifestyle in Costa Rica (a great place to beat Canadian winters!) and are excited to grow our presence throughout the country and in other unique and interesting global destinations in the future.

Oldstreet | Calgary Real Estate Development

Our Promise

We promise to use the highest quality standards of design and construction. We will build every home as if it was our own. We will respect and enhance neighbourhood character and vitality and build upon existing heritage and cultural identity. We will foster efficient use of land, helping to create complete communities that offer a greater variety of housing choices. We will help rejuvenate communities and create a better quality of life for residents and guests – the elderly living next to young families, school yards full of activity, bustling coffee shops and local business thriving.

This is our promise and our commitment to our customers, our neighbours and the communities we are in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Homebuyers
Renters
Realtors
Landowners

Homebuyers

Will you sell us a home before it is complete?
Yes! We “presell” many of our homes. Buyers get to secure their home before it goes to someone else. Also, we often work with presale buyers to customize certain details to their liking.
Do you have any projects coming that are not listed on your website?
We have a lot of fun stuff in the works! Our projects are long-lead, and we are typically working on them long before they become public knowledge. Please reach out. If we know what you are looking for, we can do our best to make something work.
Do you offer a warranty on your homes?
Yes! Oldstreet is a licensed developer and is pleased to provide homebuyers with a comprehensive warranty through the Alberta New Home Warranty Program. In summary, this includes warranty of 1 year on labour & materials (e.g. baseboards, flooring and fixtures), 2 years on distribution systems (e.g. heating, electrical and plumbing), 5 years on building envelope (e.g. roof and exterior walls) and 10 years on structural (e.g. frame and foundation).
Will you build me a custom home?
We are a small and focused company. Our main business is not custom homebuilding; however, we are architecture and design obsessed and love an opportunity to build unique and stylish homes. We consider custom projects on an individual basis – please reach out if you think we could be a fit.

Renters

Why is Oldstreet building rentals?

As Canada’s population grows and home prices continue to outpace incomes in many parts of the country, the demand for rental housing continues to grow. We want to do our part in keeping housing affordable and accessible for more people (especially in Calgary, where our relative affordability has been a good competitive advantage!).

Also, we think renting is cool – you can save money to get ahead, allocate more spending to travel, friends and family and live more flexibly, trying out different housing types, neighbourhoods and cities.

Why rent an Oldstreet home?
A lot of rental housing stock is dated and non-descript. It doesn’t have to be this way. We are excited to build stylish, high-quality rental homes that you can be proud of.

Realtors

Do you pay realtor commissions on land or homes not listed on MLS?
Absolutely. Realtors offer tremendous value, and we are happy to pay for their services. Please reach out to discuss fees with us – we always work out a good and fair deal for all parties involved.

Landowners

I own land that I think has development potential. Are you interested in buying it?
Yes! Landowners regularly get in touch with us if they are looking to sell their land privately or without realtor involvement. Please reach out – we are happy to chat.
I own land that I think has development potential. Are you interested in partnering or joint venturing with me?
Yes! We are open to creative arrangements that could lead to a win-win for both parties. Please reach out and we can discuss your vision and see if we can make something work.
