Development evidence · reviewed 2026-09-20
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.
Cochrane’s 2025 development summary describes Rivercrest as a 93-acre plan for about 660 homes with parks and a future school site. The sloped north edge requires engineering attention and the plan does not establish a school opening date.
Buyer check: Request the approved grading plan and determine whether the lot sits near the escarpment, future school site or later phase.
Rivercrest 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.
Cochrane schools: Confirm designated schools per address.
Buyer check: Run the exact address through both applicable school-board finders before removing conditions.
The profile identifies Cochrane retail, Cochrane schools. 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.
