From Quarry to Community
What used to be an old, rundown gravel quarry is now the new community of Quarry Park Calgary. After its resources were expended, the area became free for development, and the city was left questioning what to do with it. This is when Remington Development Corporation did well by stepping in and taking charge.
The gravel quarry's owner, Lafarge, already had a relationship with Remington Development Corp through their own commercial real estate endeavours. It was a perfect opportunity for Remington as they were looking to step out of strictly commercial and venture into residential developments where they could test integrating the two into a mixed-use community with a seamless design.
Now transformed by Remington Development Corporation into an eco-friendly, innovative neighbourhood, Quarry Park has become a popular destination for people looking for a highly convenient, mixed-use community to live in.
