Abrio Place

The Rocky View Foundation, which has existed since the 1960s, partnered the province, as well as other organizations to purchase and retrofit a former Hamptons Inn in Airdrie, Alberta. This innovative redevelopment created 93 units quickly and at a lower cost than an entirely new build. Rocky View Foundation is in the process of pursuing other projects based on this successful model. Abrio Place offers independent living in a healthy and engaging environment where residents can live with dignity and feel a genuine sense of belonging. The design factored in accessibility, flexibility and digital technology to address the needs and wants of older adults to live safely and facilitate aging in place. The project has a mix of affordable and market rental units, with 73% designated as permanently affordable. This project was made viable through fundraising delivered by the Partners for Affordable Housing team, which included raising project equity through $661,775 in corporate and philanthropic donations and $4M in public sector grants.
