Garrison Woods, a 71-hectare (175-acre) master-planned community, is the first phase of redevelopment of a decommissioned military base in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The infill project is located ten minutes from downtown and features 1,600 housing units, 6,503 square meters (70,000 square feet) of retail space, and five hectares (12 acres) of open space. Developed by Canada Lands Company (CLC), a federal crown corporation, the compact, pedestrian-friendly community was designed according to new urbanist principles and achieves a density of 25.2 units per hectare (ten units per acre).
