About Calgary's Renovation Market
Calgary is Canada's fastest-growing major renovation market, driven by in-migration from other provinces and a strong Alberta economy. Kitchen and bathroom permit volumes are growing faster than any other large Canadian city. New construction permit activity is also strong, with significant subdivision development in the city's expanding southern and northern sectors.
