Green All Around

Shawnee Park by Cardel Homes makes life a breeze, both inside and out.

Built on the last developable land bordering Fish Creek Park, Shawnee Park by Cardel Homes lets residents live with nature at their doorstep. With nearly 600 mature trees lining the neighbourhood — and plans to plant thousands more — over three kilometres of pathways and 25 per cent of the community dedicated to green space, Shawnee Park is perfect for buyers looking to live an active, outdoor lifestyle.

Connect to nature

You literally can't live closer to Fish Creek Park than Shawnee Park. Phase three homes, coming in late 2026, will back right onto the park, while other areas of the community are just a quick walk away. Beyond the nearby 3,000+ acres of green space offered by Fish Creek, the community of Shawnee Park itself has 33 acres of green space, with natural features such as a 20-metre greenbelt, a Central Park and plans to add 3,000 new trees to keep natural beauty at the forefront of the community.

In Shawnee Park, it's easy to get moving. Find pickleball and basketball courts — converting to an ice rink in winter — a gazebo with picnic tables and a wetland in the West Park, plus walkways and bike paths throughout the nature-focused community.

Just outside of the community, loads of amenities and easy access to major routes await. Located in Calgary's Shawnee Slopes, the community is in an established area. Schools, shopping centres and medical services are nearby, not to mention the Fish Creek–Lacombe LRT station is right next to the neighbourhood to get you around without a car.

"You get all the benefits of a close-in-proximity location, but with more home, more yard and more value compared to traditional inner-city neighbourhoods," says Jessica Mix, marketing manager at Cardel Homes. "Shawnee Park is a rare opportunity to own a new home in an established southwest community."

Find your dream home

When you're not out soaking up the sun and among the trees, Cardel Homes ensures the inside of your home is just as relaxing and comforting, thanks to its meticulous attention to detail and unwavering commitment to quality. The homebuilder delivers luxury homes with innovative design, rich exterior finishes and fully landscaped yards, including decks and irrigation.

Cardel is now selling phase 11 front-garage homes starting in the $880s and limited courtyard homes, with park amenity and greenbelt lots also available. Located in phase 10, The Birch offers a limited opportunity to own a luxury paired home design. This three-bed, two-and-a-half-bath, three-storey home includes elevated features such as premium architecture, quartz countertops, a large front balcony, full yard landscaping and more.

"The Birch strikes a great balance of luxury, comfort and convenience, and this design is located on a quiet, private street, in close proximity to the West Park," says Mix. "Amenity lots available in phase 11 back onto one of the Shawnee Park greenbelts, pathways and mature trees, not directly onto neighbours."

Witness Cardel's quality builds and personalization options with a visit to The Birch or one of the many other showhomes currently open.
