Inspired by the power and splendour of the buffalo and its roaming spirit – Buffalo Run honours this extraordinary connection with the land, sky and all living things.
Buffalo Run
The first debuting Village of Taza
Buffalo Run is a 390-acre space that provides a one-of-a-kind blend of retail, office, and tourism offerings. Positioned at the intersection of the Stoney Trail/Tsuut’ina Trail Ring Road and Calgary’s Southwest communities of Cedarbrae and Woodbine, this expansive community serves as a major hub for high-quality shopping, dining, and recreation.
Cultural Significance of the Xani-tii
Inspired by the power and splendour of the buffalo and its roaming spirit—The Shops at Buffalo Run honours this extraordinary connection with the land, the sky and all living things.
The Tsuut’ina story “Be the Buffalo” describes how this creature, when faced with a storm, will battle through it head on. They are the only animal known to do this; most animals will either attempt to outrun the storm or avoid it all together.
The Shops at Buffalo Run, a premier retail destination, offers over 265,000 square feet of prime retail space adjacent to the newly opened Costco on Buffalo Run Blvd. With construction completed in early 2024, the development is nearly 80% leased and will house 60 diverse tenants, providing an exceptional shopping and dining experience.
“Our ancestors laid the groundwork for us to be able to make the choices we are making today”
– Chief Roy Whitney, Tsuut’ina Nation
Together with Tsuut’ina
Something wondrous is coming…
Building on over 50 years of economic development and planning by Tsuut’ina, a genuine partnership was formed with Taza Development Corp. to plan, finance and develop Taza along the path of Tsuut’ina Trail, a component of the Southwest Calgary Ring Road highway expansion. This partnership thrives on a generosity of spirit at every exchange, setting the tone for something wondrous to come.
Taza is one of the largest First Nation developments in North America. Its legacy is founded on a set of standards that define an innovative framework to champion all Indigenous communities to further transform and thrive.
Project Pillars
Community and Connectivity
Building on over 50 years of economic development, with direct Ring Road access to three distinct Villages that include high-value real estate, vibrant outdoor spaces, centres for innovation, wellness destinations and more.
Cultural Influences
Bridging advancement through deep ties to tradition, resilience and a shared vision of the Tsuut’ina people.
Nature and Connection to the Land
Connection to nature inspires a commitment to sustainability targeting a net-zero carbon footprint by 2030.
Economic Diversity
Affordability, competitive taxation, and deliberate reinvestment will spur economic impact to fund the future and continue to extend the ripple of success for generations to come.
Taza reflects the authentic and aspirational vision of the Tsuut’ina Nation to be North America’s Indigenous leader of carbon neutral/near net zero energy buildings by 2030.
The land, water, air, animals and plant-life must be protected, restored, and enhanced throughout all the built environments on this territory. This includes a long-term plan to reach overall carbon neutrality across all sectors including all forms of energy, transition, and energy grid development/storage and an investigation of carbon capture targets for the Nation.
With over 1,200 acres and three distinct Villages, the master planned development of Taza holds endless possibility. Provide your information in the form and we will be in touch with leasing opportunities.
