ABOUT US
For more than 50 years, Truman has helped shape Calgary and the surrounding areas through homes, communities, and places designed to help people Live better.®
Today, Truman is more than a homebuilder. We are a vertically integrated real estate development company creating master-planned communities, single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums, rental housing, affordable housing, mixed-use destinations, hospitality projects, branded residences, commercial spaces, and landmark urban developments across Calgary and surrounding areas. Our work is rooted in a simple belief: better places create better lives.
From Homes to City-Building
Truman began with a commitment to quality construction, thoughtful design, and lasting value. That foundation still guides everything we do.
But our work has evolved.
Across Calgary and surrounding areas, Truman is delivering projects that include single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums, purpose-built rentals, affordable housing, mixed-use main streets, retail environments, commercial spaces, hospitality destinations, branded residences, and large-scale urban redevelopment.
Our projects are designed not only to serve homeowners, residents, and businesses, but to strengthen the neighbourhoods, communities, and districts around them.
We think beyond buildings. We think about how people live, work, gather, move, visit, and belong.
A Vertically Integrated Real Estate Platform
Truman brings together land acquisition, planning, design, entitlement, construction, sales, leasing, property operations, partnerships, and long-term asset stewardship under one platform.
Our integrated structure includes more than 35 companies across development, construction, trades, servicing, millwork, property management, and related disciplines. This gives Truman greater control over quality, schedule, cost, and execution from the earliest stages of planning through final delivery.
This is what allows Truman to operate with institutional discipline.
From land acquisition and entitlement through construction, delivery, lease-up, sales, and long-term asset management, Truman is built to execute. Our platform is designed to manage complexity, protect design intent, maintain cost control, and deliver developments with accountability.
Our work spans:
Homes and Communities
Single-family homes, townhomes, duplexes, condominiums, and master-planned neighbourhoods designed for modern living.
Rental Housing
Purpose-built rental communities that provide flexibility, service, and long-term livability.
Affordable Housing
Housing solutions designed to increase supply, support broader access, and help more people find a place to live in the communities they want to call home.
Mixed-Use Development
Projects that combine housing, retail, hospitality, public realm, and everyday services into more complete places.
Hospitality and Tourism Infrastructure
Hotel, branded residence, and destination-oriented projects that support the region’s growth as a destination for business, tourism, culture, and events.
Commercial and Retail Places
Spaces that bring daily convenience, employment, services, and activation into growing communities.
Urban Redevelopment
High-impact sites that require vision, complexity management, entitlement expertise, capital discipline, and long-term commitment.
Scale, Experience, and Execution
Truman’s scale is the result of decades of disciplined execution.
We have delivered more than 10,500 multi-family units, thousands of single-family homes, and millions of square feet of residential, retail, office, and commercial space across Calgary and surrounding areas.
Today, Truman continues to grow with more than 3,000 multi-family units currently under construction, more than 8,500 units in planning, development, or permitting, and a significant pipeline of new projects across housing, mixed-use, commercial, hospitality, and urban redevelopment. This experience matters.
Large-scale development requires more than vision. It requires land expertise, entitlement knowledge, design coordination, construction discipline, financial management, cost control, customer care, reporting systems, and the ability to bring many stakeholders together around one outcome.
Truman’s platform is structured to deliver institutional-grade quality with private-company accountability. We manage our projects with a focus on schedule, budget, risk, quality, and long-term value. At Truman, those capabilities are part of the same organization.
Leadership and Operating Depth
Truman is led by a founder-led executive team with deep experience across development, construction, finance, land, design, sales, leasing, property management, and long-term operations. Behind every Truman project is an integrated team of more than 90 people across office, field, and rental operations. This includes executive leadership, development managers, construction leadership, project managers, project coordinators, site superintendents, finance and accounting, sales and marketing, leasing, property management, service, safety, and field operations. That depth matters.
Large-scale development requires more than a strong idea. It requires the people, systems, controls, and operating discipline to move complex projects from planning through entitlement, construction, delivery, lease-up, ownership, and long-term management. At Truman, those capabilities are in-house. Our team is structured to protect quality, manage cost, maintain schedule discipline, and deliver projects with accountability from concept to completion.

Expanding Housing Choice
Growth requires more than one type of housing.
Truman is committed to delivering housing across a broad spectrum of needs, from ownership homes and townhomes to condominiums, purpose-built rentals, and affordable housing.
Through our work and partnerships, Truman has helped provide more than 350 affordable homes to Albertans through the Liberty Home Ownership program, representing more than $12 million in contributions. Truman continues to support housing solutions that help close the affordability gap, with a goal of supporting hundreds of additional affordable homes in the years ahead.
We believe complete communities should include a range of housing choices for different stages of life, household types, and income levels. That means building more supply, creating more options, and helping people find homes that support their future.
Our work in affordable housing is part of our broader commitment to city-building. By delivering housing across different formats and price points, Truman helps support more inclusive, resilient, and complete communities across Calgary and surrounding areas.
Live better® is more than a tagline.
For Truman, Live better® means creating places that improve daily life. It means better homes, better streets, better amenities, better access, better design, better housing choice, and better long-term value. It means building communities where people can put down roots, businesses can grow, and neighbourhoods can become more complete over time.
Every project is shaped by the same principles:
- Design with purpose.
We create spaces that are functional, beautiful, and durable. - Build with care.
Quality, craftsmanship, and accountability remain central to our work. - Deliver with discipline.
We manage complexity with a focus on institutional-grade execution, schedule discipline, cost control, and long-term performance. - Expand housing choice.
We work to deliver homes across different formats, price points, and needs, including affordable housing.
- Think at the scale of community.
We consider how each project contributes to the surrounding neighbourhood. - Create long-term value.
We build for homeowners, residents, investors, partners, and the city itself. - Keep raising the standard.
We continue to evolve because Calgary and the surrounding areas continue to evolve.
What Truman Is Building Today
Truman’s current work reflects the next phase of growth across Calgary and the surrounding areas. We are building new communities in emerging neighbourhoods, adding housing choice in established areas, delivering rental and affordable housing options for a changing market, and advancing mixed-use projects that bring more services, amenities, and activity closer to where people live.
Our work includes award-winning master-planned communities, inner-city residential towers, purpose-built rental communities, commercial and retail spaces, mixed-use main streets, and major hospitality and branded residential projects.
We are also pursuing larger city-building opportunities tied to the region’s future as a destination for business, tourism, events, culture, and urban living. These projects combine housing, hospitality, branded residences, public-facing amenities, and mixed-use programming to support the broader growth of downtown, entertainment, and convention districts.
This is the next evolution of Truman: building not just homes, but complete places.
Proudly Local. Built for the Future.
Calgary is our home. It is where we started, where we have grown, and where we continue to make our largest commitments.
We understand this region because we live and work here. We understand its neighbourhoods, its growth patterns, its opportunities, and its potential. From suburban communities to inner-city redevelopment, from family homes to landmark mixed-use projects, Truman’s work is connected by a long-term belief in Calgary and the surrounding areas. Our goal is not simply to participate in that future. Our goal is to help build it.
Award-Winning Communities and Long-Term Value
Truman’s work has been recognized for design, marketing, planning, floor plans, and multi-family development.
Our projects are built with long-term value in mind: value for homeowners, residents, communities, partners, and the region. From West District to downtown residential towers and future hospitality projects, Truman continues to deliver places that are designed to stand the test of time.
We approach every project with the same standard: thoughtful design, disciplined execution, strong project controls, and a commitment to creating places people are proud to call home.
A Commitment to People and Place
We believe development carries responsibility.
Every project affects the people who live there, the neighbours around it, and the city or community it becomes part of. That is why we approach our work with a focus on livability, connectivity, public realm, housing choice, affordability, and long-term community value.
We are proud to support partnerships and initiatives that expand access to housing, strengthen communities, and contribute to a more complete region.
Building well is not only about what is delivered on day one. It is about what continues to matter years later.
Live better. Build better. Think bigger.
Truman’s story began with homes. Today, it continues through communities, rentals, affordable housing, mixed-use destinations, hospitality, branded residences, commercial spaces, and city-building projects that reflect the ambition of a growing region. We are proud of where we started. We are even more excited about where we are going.
Live better®. Live Truman.
