Turning Raw Land into Complete Communities

At Saga Development, we work diligently to transform raw sites into builder-ready neighbourhoods through a coordinated process that blends planning, engineering, municipal navigation, and phased delivery. Our mandate is simple: shape Edmonton’s growth with quality, efficiency, and strong partnerships so builders can start construction with confidence and communities can thrive for the decades to come.

Stage 1: Site Assessment & Feasibility

From the start, our focus is on site selection and evaluation. Every successful community begins with a location that aligns with municipal growth plans and practical development realities. When we develop land, we work to assess sites according to their zoning context, access and connectivity, nearby amenities, and long-term growth potential, engaging early with municipalities and planning authorities to keep the vision aligned with policy frameworks. This upfront diligence lays the foundation for everything that follows.

Stage 2: Engineering & Infrastructure Planning

With a viable site secured, we move into planning and design the stage where strategy becomes a buildable plan. Working with planners, engineers, and environmental consultants, we shape subdivision layouts, servicing concepts, and engineering frameworks that turn raw land into a cohesive plan. This is where road networks, servicing corridors, stormwater systems, lot mixes, and open-space concepts are organized to support a complete community. The planning work directly supports a smoother approvals path and sets the stage for efficient servicing and construction.

Stage 3: Subdivision Layout & Design

Next comes permitting and approvals, which can sometimes be the most complex part of land development. When we at Saga work with subdivision developments, we work carefully to coordinate registrations, servicing agreements, and related permits, streamlining interactions with municipal departments so reviews, conditions, and registrations stay on track. Our Edmonton experience and longstanding relationships can help make approvals more predictable, which protects timelines and budgets for our builder partners.

Stage 4: Municipal & Regulatory Approvals

When approvals are in hand, we aim to lead infrastructure development to deliver fully serviced, builder-ready lots. Our team oversees construction of road networks and underground utilities and ensures stormwater systems and public-realm elements meet municipal standards. The objective is reliable delivery: lots ready when builders are ready, with quality and compliance verified.

Stage 5: Phased Construction & Build-Out

For larger neighbourhoods, Saga structures multi-phase community developments. Phasing strategies align infrastructure delivery and lot releases to market demand and builder schedules, maintaining momentum from one stage to the next. We integrate builder feedback early, optimizing lot layouts, access, and servicing details so that communities are attractive to buyers and practical for construction teams. This blend of strategy and collaboration is core to how we manage subdivisions and multi-site projects across the city.

Why Choose a Developer with Strong Experience

Our role doesn’t end with engineering drawings or a single approval milestone. As a builder-focused land developer, we manage the end-to-end process, site evaluation, subdivision and multi-site planning, streamlined approvals, servicing, and lot delivery so builders can focus on what they do best: building great homes. Saga’s wide ranging portfolio includes multi-phase Edmonton communities such as The Grande at Glenridding, Salisbury Village, The Pointe at Riverview, Parkside at Glenridding, and Aster, reflecting our commitment to quality and reliable delivery.
