Planning for tomorrow: The City of Leduc's path to sustainable growth
SponsoredA message from BILD Edmonton Metro:
Over the past 10 years, the City of Leduc has been a hot spot for population growth, economic development, and affordability. Situated south of Edmonton and just minutes from Edmonton's International Airport, Leduc has long been recognized by workers and residents as a key regional hub.
"People are choosing to come here for its blend of opportunity, affordability, and quality of life," said City of Leduc Mayor Lars Hansen. "The city's location and competitive housing prices make Leduc an attractive place to live."
Today, the city is entering a new phase of growth — one shaped by thoughtful development, infrastructure investment, and a commitment to long-term sustainability.
Collaboration at the core
For builders and developers, Leduc's appeal goes beyond just geography.
"Our initial conversations about building in Leduc started 17 years ago," said Chris Bidulka, Senior Operations Manager at Homes by Avi. "We saw an opportunity to expand housing choices while still maintaining affordability."
But as growth becomes more rapid, buyer preferences change, and market conditions shift, adaptability has become essential. Builders are increasingly looking for municipalities that can respond quickly — and Leduc has built a reputation for doing just that.
This collaboration is reflected in the City's approach to policy and permitting, prioritizing clear communication, streamlined approvals, and predictable timelines.
Averaging around just 9.5 days, the City of Leduc prides itself on being one of the fastest municipalities for permitting times in the region, allowing builders to move projects forward without significant delays. To help remove barriers and support housing supply, they also offer an expedited permitting option for single-family residential developments, where a decision is fast-tracked and made within 72 hours.
