Town of Carstairs and NeoForm Developments Announce New Transformative Seniors Housing and Mixed-Use Campus
June 11, 2026
CARSTAIRS, AB
The Town of Carstairs is pleased to announce today a landmark agreement in principle with NeoForm Developments to construct a state-of-the-art, multi-phase seniors housing and mixed-use campus. This partnership marks a significant investment in the community, addressing the community’s need for housing options, specialized seniors' care, and enhanced local services.
“This project is a significant milestone for our community,” says Mayor Dean Allan. “Our housing needs assessments have clearly identified the need for more diverse housing, particularly for our seniors who wish to age in place in our community. This development will provide much-needed specialized care facilities, which have previously been unavailable in Carstairs, and also create a vibrant, integrated campus that provides housing and benefits to residents of all ages.”
The planned development, located on a site Council strategically designated for this use on the east side of Carstairs, represents an immediate initial investment of over $15 million into the local economy, with total project investment expected to exceed $60 million upon full build-out.
Addressing Community Needs through Innovation
As one of the fastest-growing communities in Alberta, Carstairs has experienced a surge in demand for housing. The new campus is designed to meet several critical infrastructure and service needs by offering:
Specialized Seniors Care: Round-the-clock designated supportive housing (Level 4), allowing seniors to remain in the community they call home.
Housing Diversity: A mix of affordable seniors housing and regular market-rent apartments to increase the overall local housing supply.
Community Integration: Commercial space designed to house local businesses, alongside an active living campus that will tie into the community and nearby parks and pathways.
“NeoForm is proud to bring our expertise in quality development and state-of-the-art construction to Carstairs,” said Ako Ufodike, CEO of NeoForm Developments. “Our vision is to create more than just housing; we want to help enhance the community with a master planned campus designed to foster social connection and long-term economic vibrancy. We look forward to working closely with the Town of Carstairs to ensure this development is a cornerstone of the region’s growth.”
The project will utilize advanced modern construction methods to ensure efficiency and quality. Construction is slated to begin in early 2027, with Phase 1 including a 60+ unit building that integrates commercial space, supportive care, and independent living apartments.
“We view this as a true partnership between the Town and NeoForm Developments,” added Mayor Dean Allan. “This campus aligns with our long-term vision for sustainable growth, economic development, and a high quality of life for all Carstairs residents.”
Economic Opportunity and Local Engagement
The development is committed to supporting the local economy. NeoForm intends to utilize local trades and businesses during the construction phase and throughout the ongoing operation of the campus. Local companies looking to expand into the new commercial space are encouraged to reach out to the development team.
