What is Section 23 in Calgary?

Section 23 is a 3.1 km² industrial area in southeast Calgary named after the Dominion Land Survey township section that covered the land before the city expanded. It is zoned General Industrial (I-G), had zero residents in the 2021 federal census, and functions as an industrial land reserve rather than a residential neighbourhood.

Where exactly is Section 23 located in Calgary?

Section 23 fronts Glenmore Trail SE near 68th Street SE in Calgary''s southeast quadrant. It sits near the communities of Riverbend to the north, Ogden to the northwest, and the Foothills Industrial area. The coordinates place it at approximately 50.978°N, 113.937°W.

What is the zoning of Section 23 Calgary?

Section 23 is zoned I-G (General Industrial) under Calgary''s Land Use Bylaw 1P2007. This designation permits warehousing, manufacturing, and other industrial uses but does not allow residential development without a rezoning application.

Could Section 23 ever be rezoned for housing?

It is possible in the long term. Calgary''s citywide rezoning for housing initiative (2024–2026) focused on residential and mixed-use areas, not established industrial land. Any rezoning of Section 23 would require a formal application to the City, a public hearing process, and alignment with the Municipal Development Plan.

What residential neighbourhoods are closest to Section 23?

The nearest residential communities are Riverbend and Ogden to the west and northwest, and Douglas Glen to the west. Buyers looking for homes close to this area should search those communities, where you will find active listings and a mix of detached homes, semi-detached, and townhouses.

Buying in Section 23

Who fits here

Section 23 is one of Calgary''s most unusual community designations — a 3.1 km² parcel in the southeast quadrant named directly from the Dominion Land Survey township section that covered the area before the city expanded. It carries a General Industrial (I-G) zoning classification and recorded zero residents in the 2021 federal census. There are no detached homes, condos, or townhouses here. What exists instead is a swath of gravelled, fenced industrial land fronting Glenmore Trail SE near 68th Street SE, with a legacy Quonset, shop, and a single old structure dating to 1961. The only real estate activity on record is a $9 million commercial land listing — 16 acres with Glenmore Trail frontage — that expired in early 2025 without selling. If you are searching for a home to buy, Section 23 is not the destination. It is, however, relevant context for buyers eyeing the broader southeast: the land supply here represents potential future rezoning or assemblage opportunity, and the surrounding communities of Riverbend, Ogden, and Foothills Industrial give you a sense of the industrial-residential boundary that defines this corner of the city.

Current market in the neighbourhood

Section 23 has no residential real estate market in the conventional sense. The neighbourhood is zoned General Industrial (I-G) and had a population of zero in the 2021 census. There are currently active residential listings and residential sales recorded over the past 12 months. The sole MLS activity on record is a large industrial land parcel listed at — a 16-acre assembly on Glenmore Trail SE. Median sold price, average days on hômm, and price-per-square-foot figures are not available because no residential transactions have closed here. Buyers looking for market data in this pocket of Calgary''s southeast should reference the statistics of immediately adjacent communities, where homes trade at meaningfully different conditions than the city-wide average.

Commute and lifestyle

Section 23 sits along Glenmore Trail SE, one of Calgary''s primary east-west arterials, which gives the land excellent vehicular access — a core reason it carries industrial zoning. Deerfoot Trail is a short drive north, connecting the area to downtown Calgary (roughly 15–20 minutes under normal conditions) the broader ring road network via Stoney Trail. The neighbourhood is not served by CTrain; the nearest LRT stations are in Riverbend and Ogden to the west and northwest. There are no schools, parks, grocery stores, or community amenities within Section 23 itself — it is an industrial reserve. Residents living in the adjacent communities of Riverbend, Ogden, and Douglas Glen access daily services along Glenmore Trail, 68th Street SE, and the commercial nodes near Deerfoot Trail. For anyone considering land investment or commercial development here, the infrastructure positioning is genuinely strong: paved arterial frontage, rail freight corridors nearby, and proximity to the southeast industrial corridor that houses much of Calgary''s logistics and manufacturing base.

Long-term context

Because Section 23 has no residential transaction history, standard appreciation metrics do not apply. The land''s value is shaped by industrial demand and any future rezoning potential. Calgary''s southeast industrial corridor has seen sustained demand from logistics, warehousing, and light manufacturing tenants, driven by the city''s population growth and the broader Prairie distribution hub function. The single land parcel listed here in late 2024 — 16 acres at $9 million, or roughly $558,000 per acre — gives a rough benchmark for bare industrial land value along Glenmore Trail frontage, though that listing expired without a sale. Any meaningful price discovery in Section 23 would require a rezoning application or a city-initiated land use amendment. Buyers interested in the industrial land market in southeast Calgary should consult directly with commercial REALTORS® who track I-G and I-C zoned parcels in the Foothills Industrial and Shepard Industrial areas.
