Profile
Mahogany is a master-planned community by Hopewell Residential in the far south-east of Calgary, east of 52 Street SE and south of Stoney Trail. It is best known for Mahogany Lake, a private freshwater lake with beaches and a beach club reserved for residents, and for the Mahogany Wetlands, a large naturalised area threaded with pathways.
The community has been one of Calgary's top-selling neighbourhoods for most of the years since it opened. It combines a wide range of product, from apartment condos and townhomes to laned, front-drive and estate homes on the lake, with amenities that are already built: Mahogany Village Market for daily retail, Westman Village for mixed-use living and dining, and schools inside the community.
Buyers should treat Mahogany as an established community with new phases rather than a brand-new one. Much of the infrastructure exists today, which reduces the "will it ever get built" risk common in newer areas, but it also means remaining lots carry premiums and the newest phases sit farther from the lake.
Commute note: Approximate drive to downtown Calgary via Deerfoot Trail or 52 Street SE. Test it at your own commute time. Off-peak roughly 28 minutes, peak roughly 35 minutes.

Development evidence · reviewed 2026-09-03
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.
Mahogany 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.
Schools within the community: Public and Catholic school sites are built in Mahogany; confirm the designated school for a specific address with each board.
Buyer check: Run the exact address through both applicable school-board finders before removing conditions.
The profile identifies Mahogany Lake and Beach Club, Mahogany Wetlands, Mahogany Village Market and Westman Village, Seton Urban District, South Health Campus, Schools within the community, Calgary Transit bus and BRT. Travel times and access should be tested from the exact phase and at the time of day you expect to use them.
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.

Mahogany is one of the most established lake communities in Calgary, with the lake, beach club, wetlands, retail and schools already built. That maturity reduces the uncertainty that comes with newer communities, but it also means lot premiums and association fees. It suits buyers who value amenities today over lower entry prices.
Every home in Mahogany pays an annual fee to the Mahogany Homeowners Association that funds the lake, beach club and community programming. The amount is set each year by the association and is registered on title, so ask the builder or the association for the current figure before you sign.
Hopewell Residential is the developer and builds within the community, and a rotating group of Calgary volume builders has held lots over the years, including Jayman BUILT, Excel Homes, Homes by Avi, Trico Homes, Calbridge Homes and Cardel Homes. The active builder list changes with each phase, so confirm current showhomes with the developer.
No. Mahogany is served by Calgary Transit bus routes connecting to Seton and the south-east bus rapid transit corridor. A Green Line LRT station in the area has been discussed in long-range plans but has no confirmed construction date.
Mahogany is roughly 25 kilometres south-east of downtown. Plan on about 30 to 40 minutes by car at peak times using Deerfoot Trail, and longer by transit. Drive it during your normal commute window before committing.
Mahogany 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. Ask the developer or builder for a dated inventory sheet before planning around a specific home or possession date.
This profile does not treat a master-plan symbol as an opening commitment. Ask which schools, parks, shops, roads and facilities are open, funded, under construction or still conceptual.
Current residents association fee, what it covers, and whether it is registered on title. 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. Lot premium, lake-access rights and any architectural controls for the specific lot. Also request the approved plan for neighbouring parcels, because future roads, commercial uses and building heights can affect noise, traffic, privacy and views.
