In 1997, Lamont Land took a different approach to a 12-acre wetland area in southwest Calgary that had been viewed as difficult to develop. Rather than filling the site, Lamont worked with the existing landscape and incorporated stormwater management into the community design.
The wetland was retained as a natural feature and designed to function as both a stormwater management facility and wildlife habitat, creating an amenity for the surrounding neighbourhood.
Today, Bridlewood Creek includes 225 homes surrounding the integrated urban wetland, reflecting an early example of Lamont Land’s approach to balancing residential development with environmental stewardship.
