Melcom Homes, a relatively new player in Calgary’s new home construction scene, is turning its attention from single-family custom product to the multi-family market with the launch of Aspire at Sage Hill.
The new mixed-use development, featuring 65 condos, 35 townhomes and commercial space is being built on the northeast corner of Symons Valley Parkway and 37th Street N.W. The 3.5-acre parcel of land was acquired in 2021 by Melcom, a company that’s made a solid entry into Calgary’s housing market despite its pandemic-era start up in 2020.

Melcom specializes in building eco-friendly custom homes using low environmental impact materials while integrating energy-efficient technologies. The condos and townhomes in Aspire will be built following the similar principles.
“Aspire is not just a development,” says Deimira Baidoo, president of Melcom. “It’s a promise to redefine community living in Calgary. It embodies our aspirations for a sustainable and united future and will foster a sense of belonging that transcends walls and transforms houses into homes.”
The one-bedroom, one-bathroom and two-bedroom, two-bathroom condos are available in six floor plans, ranging from 645 to 990 square feet. Prices start at $299,000. The three- and four-bedroom townhomes have 1,538 to 1,845 sq.-ft. with prices starting at $559,000.
Townhome buyers can upgrade to Melcom’s Eco-Life package, which includes premium insulation, top-tier windows and doors, a high efficiency HVAC system, energy recovery ventilation, LED lighting, energy-saving appliances, water-conserving features, a two-stage furnace, tankless hot water heater, foundation wrap, heat pump, six solar panels and smart home technology.
Aspire will include a playground and EV charging stations. The location is within walking distance of transit and shopping centres in the Sage Hill district.
In the four short years it has been in existence, Melcom has built custom homes in inner-city Calgary neighbourhoods including Renfrew, Killarney, Montgomery and Tuxedo Park and in new communities such as Walden, Discovery Ridge, Nolan Hill, Sage Hill and Echo Haven. They also build in Airdre and Edmonton.
Construction is underway with completion anticipated for August 2025.
