The ATCO Attainable Homes Calgary project is a modular affordable housing development located at 1007 6th Avenue SW, Calgary. Designed to deliver high-quality housing on an accelerated timeline, the project includes 84 studio units, each approximately 350 square feet, with no on-site parking. Instead, it features Class A bicycle storage and an integrated bike workshop to support active transportation.
The building includes a large rooftop terrace that serves as a shared amenity space, and ground-floor units with private patios facing 9th Street SW, nestled among existing trees. Its location adjacent to the LRT line ensures excellent transit access and urban connectivity.
A total of 56 units were manufactured off-site in a controlled indoor environment and installed on-site in just 10 days, demonstrating the efficiency and precision of modular construction. Each studio unit includes a combined living/dining area with an integrated kitchen, a private bathroom, and dedicated storage. Large operable windows on both the east and west façades provide abundant natural light and ventilation.
The building’s exterior features corrugated metal cladding, with a mural installation planned for the north façade using cementitious panels—adding visual interest and contributing to the community’s identity.
