Our North Glenmore Park backyard suite project began as a “Benjamin” package with 572 square feet of upstairs living space. Looking for more square footage to fit king-sized bedroom furniture, our client requested we expand the size of the bedroom and main living room / kitchen area by 80 square feet.

Other additional upgrades requested by our client include (but are not limited to):

• Carport with balcony rooftop
• 300 square foot concrete pad
• Extensive wrap-around balcony
• Patio slider for bedroom-balcony access
• Kitchen countertop and cabinetry expansion
• Custom MDF shelving
• Extra windows
• Balcony bi-door with multiple glass panes

Our client also made several interior upgrade selections for their North Glenmore Park backyard suite in Calgary, including handle materials/colours and additional pot lights to name a few.

If you’re looking to build a backyard suite in North Glenmore or another community in Calgary, it’s best to know what your limits are before applying for permits. That way, you won’t lose precious time when waiting on the City and Enmax to review and approve your submissions.

North Glenmore homes are highly sought-after family-oriented neighbourhood in Calgary’s southwest inner city. Home to mostly single-family homes on spacious lots, the community is an ideal place for homeowners to build backyard suites.

Situated a short walk away from the Elbow River parks and pathways, residents have convenient access to several outdoor green spaces and dedicated off-leash areas. To the north, residents can use the Elbow River pathways to reach downtown, while heading south will take them you the Glenmore Reservoir and Weaselhead Flats – both stunning natural areas with views of the mountains.

North Glenmore homeowners tend to stay in the area for the long-term due to its close-to-everything location. Not far away you’ll find Marda Loop, Mount Royal University, Chinook Mall, and so many more useful amenities that make day-to-day errands convenient.

North Glenmore residents may or may not have a powerpole on the same side of the alley as their home which may complicate building a backyard suite on the lot. If you’re thinking of building a carriage house or garage suite but are unsure about the utility connections, contact us anytime and we will be happy to evaluate them for you!
