Alma stands on land with a long and layered history. Once farmed in the early 1900s, the area was annexed by the City of Edmonton in 1913 and later purchased by the University of Alberta in 1930. For decades, the lands supported the University’s Agriculture and Farming faculty, shaping the site’s legacy of learning, cultivation, and growth.
Alma reimagines what urban living can be. Spanning 240 acres in the heart of Edmonton and nestled along the natural corridor of Whitemud Creek, this new community will blend modern design, connected streets, mixed-use spaces, and everyday conveniences – all within minutes of the city’s most vibrant districts. Thoughtfully planned and purposefully built, Alma is where people, nature, and opportunity meet.
Alma is built around the idea that great neighbourhoods bring people together. Walkable blocks, inviting public spaces, and active street fronts create a community where residents can meet, gather, and grow. With a diverse mix of housing, Alma offers options for every lifestyle from young professionals and growing families to downsizers looking to stay close to the core.
