What exists, what is planned and what could change

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.

Under construction

Commercial site, reservoir and pathways

The project update reports commercial-site construction underway, the River Heights Reservoir operational as of March 2026, a dog park under construction, and pathway and James Walker Trail work targeted through 2026. Tenant and road-opening dates can still change.

Buyer check: Check the dated project update and Town construction notices for current access and opening status.

Announced / planned

Future schools and later stages

The municipal plan includes two future school sites. In March 2026, Council supported a conditional FrancoSud site request, subject to provincial funding. This is planning support, not a funded or scheduled school opening.

Buyer check: Verify school funding and address designation with the Province and each school board; do not rely on a site symbol alone.

Sales and phase availability

Southbow Landing 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.

Confirm before relying

Schools and student assignment

Cochrane schools: Confirm designated schools per address.

Buyer check: Run the exact address through both applicable school-board finders before removing conditions.

Amenities and everyday services

The profile identifies Cochrane south 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.

Confirm before relying

Roads, neighbouring land and build-out

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.
