What’s Happening Now:
We’re making strong progress in Southbow - bringing new homes to the community while delivering the infrastructure and amenities our community expects.
Commercial Site Breaks Ground
Construction has officially begun on the community’s commercial site—an exciting milestone that brings services and amenities closer to home. Tenants include Sobeys, Rexall, the Brick Dollarama and more!
Dog Park Now Under Construction
Construction is underway on the new dog park creating a dedicated space for residents and their furry companions. Anticipated opening in 2026.
River Heights Reservoir Now Operational
Completed in March 2026, the River Heights Reservoir is now fully operational – bringing critical water capacity and fire protection to south Cochrane. Delivered in partnership between the Town and Qualico, this major investment supports Southbow Landing and future development in the area.
West Pond Pathways & Landscaping This Year
With approvals secured in January 2025, landscaping and pathway construction at the western pond (visible from Hwy 22) will be completed this year extending the pathway network from the Willows and Fireside.
James Walker Trail Progress Update
Qualico’s portion of James Walkter Trail is now underway, with full connection to the Jack Tennant Memorial Bridge anticipated in late 2026. For details, residents are encouraged to reach out to the Town at capitalprojects.eng@cochrane.ca.
South Pathway Extension
A new pathway running along the southern boundary of the community, connecting Stage 1 and 2 will be built this year, opening fall 2026.
Multi-Family - South of the Willows Starting This Spring
Grading was completed in 2025 near The Willows, with landscaping to follow in late 2026 or spring 2027. As development progresses, builders will move through the Town’s standard permitting process, including Development Permits (DPs) and Building Permits (BPs), along with required public notifications – ensuring transparency and opportunities for community awareness along the way.
The Summit Construction Underway Soon
Grading begins this spring near Riversong, with full construction ramping up this summer.
For details, residents are encouraged to reach out to Calbridge Homes directly at info@calbridgegroup.com.
We are actively working through the details for our Stage 2 Neighbourhood Structure Plan and will provide updates as more information becomes available.
Welcome to the Southbow Landing Project page!
Southbow Landing is more than a development—it's a long-term vision for a neighbourhood where people can truly feel at home. This is a community designed for all stages of life, where thoughtful planning meets the natural beauty of the Bow River Valley.
We know trust is earned, not given. That’s why we’re committed to listening, adapting, and building something that reflects what matters most to the residents of Cochrane: protecting natural spaces, creating safe and welcoming streets, and offering amenities that serve real community needs—from much needed housing options, to pathways, open spaces and parks.

We’re Listening
We know any new development comes with change, and we are committed to doing it right: preserving key natural areas, minimizing impacts on neighbours, and creating a place that fits thoughtfully into the broader community.
We’re listening, and we’re open to making changes. Whether you live nearby, use the pathways, or are simply interested in how this area evolves, we want you to feel confident that Southbow Landing is being planned with care and accountability.
