New senior housing in Emerald Hills

The grand opening of Terra Vale, a new 55-plus senior housing community in the heart of Emerald Hills Urban Village, marked a significant milestone for both the development and the broader community it serves. Local residents, project partners, and dignitaries gathered to celebrate the unveiling of this thoughtfully designed community, which combines modern living, walkable convenience, and exceptional amenities tailored to active adults seeking comfort, connection, and independence. The event showcased Terra Vale’s commitment to enhancing quality of life for seniors through premium rental suites, inviting social spaces, and a lifestyle rooted in wellness and community engagement.

Dignitary messages

The ceremony was highlighted by the attendance of the Mayor of Strathcona County Rod Frank, whose presence underscored the project’s importance in supporting the county’s vision for vibrant, inclusive neighbourhoods. Adding to the occasion, Terra Vale received a formal letter of acknowledgement from Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, recognizing the development’s contribution to addressing the evolving housing needs of older adults while strengthening the social fabric of the region. Her message commended the collaborative effort behind Terra Vale and celebrated the community-focused values that guided its creation.

A connected place to call home

Together, these recognitions reflect the strong civic and provincial support behind Terra Vale’s mission to offer seniors a beautiful, connected place to call home. As residents begin moving in and the broader Emerald Hills Urban Village continues to grow, Terra Vale stands as a cornerstone of thoughtful, people-centered development—an inspiring addition to the county and a proud new chapter for senior housing in Alberta.
