BURNSWEST retail, office, industrial and mixed-use properties are developed by paying close attention to customer and user needs. We collaborate with existing community residents and municipalities to ensure our developments add needed functionality to the communities in which they reside.

We pay attention to the details at every stage of development, and we carefully integrate our new developments with the natural surroundings to create finished spaces everyone involved can be proud of for decades to come.

Our History

BURNSWEST is a family-owned business that has been built over four generations in Calgary and surrounding area. BURNSWEST oversees the reclamation and redevelopment of gravel lands that were originally purchased by James F. Burns and acquired by fourth generation, Jeff Burns in 2012. Enabling the land to take a new course enhances its value and allows for exciting, new uses.

These uses include the development of residential neighbourhoods as well as the sale of industrial business districts and leasing of commercial space. As landlords, we have many satisfied long-term tenants and act with the highest regard for their ongoing success.

Our Future

The BURNSWEST mandate has now shifted to developer and manager of land and property holdings in which businesses and residents can thrive. We take great pride in our ability to transform land in useable ways for future generations to enjoy and appreciate. Our plans encompass long term land use and much care and attention goes into every detail of our developments.
