What we build
Narrow-lot custom homes, side-by-side duplexes, and four-plex projects across Calgary’s most established communities. We know the lots, the permits, and the design moves that work on a 25-foot frontage.
How we build infill
Inner-city infill is its own discipline. Narrow lots, deep setbacks, mature trees, and city scrutiny on every line of the elevation. Here’s how Ace approaches it.
On a 25-foot lot, every foot of depth matters. We push primary retreats up, scale entries to draw light deep into the plan, and use double-height moments at the entry or stair to make the home feel larger than its footprint.
A duplex is two homes that have to read as one continuous building. We design party walls for acoustic separation, mirror or invert plans where it serves the buyer, and finish each unit to the same custom standard.
We know which lots in West Hillhurst, Killarney, and Banff Trail have setback or grading complications before drawings start. That depth means fewer surprises during your build and fewer conversations with the city.

We focus on a small set of established neighbourhoods. Click through for lot dynamics, schools, and the parks and cafes that make each community its own.
Why buy from Ace
These aren't spec builds chasing volume. Every home in our inventory is the same calibre as our presales: custom-designed for a specific inner-city lot, finished by trades we've worked with for years, and held to the same standard of detail as a build you'd start from scratch.
When you buy an Ace home, you get award-winning craftsmanship from a team that treats every project as their own. Every home is backed by Progressive Home Warranty and our after-possession support, so the relationship doesn't end at the keys.
