Northeast Calgary · Active
Northeast Calgary's largest active community, with the widest builder line-up in the quadrant.
Cornerstone is an Anthem United community north of Country Hills Boulevard and east of Metis Trail, in the growth corridor between Stoney Trail and the Calgary International Airport. It is the largest active new home community in Northeast Calgary and, in most years, one of the busiest in the city by permit count. Build-out continues, so newer phases live beside construction traffic and unfinished streetscapes.
Profile
Cornerstone is an Anthem United community north of Country Hills Boulevard and east of Metis Trail, in the growth corridor between Stoney Trail and the Calgary International Airport. It is the largest active new home community in Northeast Calgary and, in most years, one of the busiest in the city by permit count.
The community is planned around a central park and plaza with a commercial site on Country Hills Boulevard. Product runs from apartment condos and townhomes through duplexes, laned homes and front-drive garage homes, which is why Cornerstone carries the widest range of entry price points of any single community in Calgary.
Cornerstone is still building out. Northern and eastern phases sit next to open land and active construction, and the commercial and school sites are delivered on the developer schedule rather than the buyer schedule. Buyers trade a shorter amenity wait in the older southern phases against more lot choice in the newer ones.
Commute note: Approximate drive to downtown Calgary via Stoney Trail and Deerfoot Trail. The airport is roughly 12 minutes away. Off-peak roughly 24 minutes, peak roughly 32 minutes.

We separate an operating facility from funded construction, a developer announcement and a long-range plan. A sales map shows intended land uses; it does not guarantee a builder, tenant, school, road, opening date or uninterrupted view. Written information for the exact phase and lot takes priority over this profile.
Cornerstone is marketed as active. “Active” means the development or builder programme is current enough to research; it does not mean every product, lot or incentive described by a past release is still available.
Buyer check: Ask for a dated inventory sheet, release map and written lot-hold terms.
School sites within the plan: Public and Catholic school sites are reserved; confirm which schools serve a specific address today.
Buyer check: Run the exact address through both applicable school-board finders before removing conditions.
School sites within the plan: Public and Catholic school sites are reserved; confirm which schools serve a specific address today.
Buyer check: Separate open facilities, funded construction and long-range plan symbols on the sales map.
Which phases are still selling, what remains to be built around the lot (roads, parks, commercial sites), and the developer's published build-out timeline.
Buyer check: Request the approved phase plan and current land-use map for every parcel beside and behind the lot.

Cornerstone carries more entry-level product than any other active Calgary community, including apartment condos, townhomes, duplexes and laned homes from a long list of builders. That range, plus quick Stoney Trail access, is why it is a common first-home choice. The trade-off is that amenities inside the community are still being delivered phase by phase.
Anthem United is the developer and sells lots to a rotating group of Calgary volume builders. Excel Homes, Jayman BUILT, Trico Homes, Shane Homes, Homes by Avi, Rohit Communities, Truman Homes and Pacesetter Homes have all held lots in the community. The active list changes with each phase, so confirm current showhomes before you plan a visit.
Cornerstone sits a few minutes north-east of the Calgary International Airport, typically a 10 to 15 minute drive. That is a genuine advantage for shift workers and frequent travellers, and a reason to check aircraft noise on the specific lot before you commit.
No. The Blue Line CTrain ends at Saddletowne station, south-west of Cornerstone, and bus routes connect the community to it. Check the current Calgary Transit route map at your commute time rather than assuming a rail connection.

Ask the developer or builder for a dated inventory sheet before planning around a specific home or possession date.
School sites within the plan: Public and Catholic school sites are reserved; confirm which schools serve a specific address today. The status can change after this page is reviewed, so confirm funding, construction and opening dates with the organization responsible for delivery.
Designated public and Catholic schools for the specific address (CBE and CCSD school finders), and whether any on-site school is open or only planned. Which phases are still selling, what remains to be built around the lot (roads, parks, commercial sites), and the developer's published build-out timeline. Aircraft noise on the specific lot, checked at more than one time of day. Which commercial and park sites are built today versus approved but not yet constructed. Also request the approved plan for neighbouring parcels, because future roads, commercial uses and building heights can affect noise, traffic, privacy and views.
