Our Projects

Spruce Meadows

With over thirty years of partnership, Kristi has worked with Spruce Meadows to ensure that it remains a special place for people of all ages and backgrounds to come together to learn about, experience, and celebrate the horse. In order to accommodate and find their place within the growth of the Calgary region, Spruce Meadows took the forward-thinking step of developing an Area Structure Plan in order to provide a framework for growth over the next thirty (30) years.

Goals within the ASP included: the protection of the pastoral nature of the site, diversification of sport and venue programming, an efficient infrastructure plan, and the development of an interconnected open space system to improve the site’s public spaces and experience. Township completed the ASP in 2020. Kristi has also successfully negotiated the de-annexation of Spruce Meadows from the City of Calgary and the connection of the venue to the City’s water and wastewater systems.

Hawks Landing

This project was designed with organic flow and nature in mind. The lots all fit into the landscape with very little grading. This project required a 9-hole expansion to the Priddis Green’s Golf Course and the introduction of a new wastewater treatment plant.

The site supports a separate non-potable irrigation system and detailed architectural design controls. This community is well established and is a crown jewel among the Priddis Greens Golf Course.

The site today retains many trees in the building envelopes and wildlife can be found in abundance. Hawks Landing is truly a community that is integrated with nature.

Granary Road Concept Plan

Granary Road consists of four components: (1) the Agri-Edu-tainment Park, (2) the Farmers Market and Greenhouse featuring local products, (3) a coffee shop, bakery, and restaurant for patrons, and (4) the continued agricultural cultivation and production of crops on site.

The facility is designed to enhance the educational opportunities offered to children. The Edu-tainment Park is designed to complement the K-5 curriculum. The farmers market, its companion greenhouses, and restaurants provide opportunities for adventure and learning to families all year round.

Granary road supports farm-to-table initiatives and locally grown and produced food. The venue supports year-round activities and has become a destination within Foothills County.

LaunchPad

One of the first in Canada, with a smaller companion location at Mickelson National, this 40 stall golf practice facility will be open year-round. The facility offers top tracer technology to track ball flight and trajectory. LaunchPad provides opportunities to practice and play as a family, or with friends, and includes food service and in-booth games to enhance the golf experience.

Launchpad required a rezoning, development permit, and full retrofit and redevelopment of the existing driving range. Community consultation ensured that the interface and beauty of the landscape were compatible with its context.

LaunchPad offers opportunities for anyone to play golf and grows the game for the better of those who love it. #Golfisgood
