Edmonton buyers always ask what is coming to a neighbourhood. The better question is what actually got finished. City of Edmonton, Nov. 10, 2026: the City advanced more than 200 infrastructure projects in 2026, expects 65 or more to be complete by year-end, and expects 2026 investment to exceed $1.5 billion — including finished work on Terwillegar Drive Stage 2, the Hawrelak Park rehabilitation and the Coronation Park Sports and Recreation Centre. Finished infrastructure is the version that supports a home's value today, not a rendering of what might exist in five years.

What finished — and why buyers care about each piece

Terwillegar Drive Stage 2 (southwest). The southwest's main commute corridor is the reason many buyers choose Terwillegar, Windermere and the neighbourhoods feeding into them — and construction on it was the reason some hesitated. A completed stage means the drive a buyer tests on a Saturday showing is now much closer to the drive they will actually live with.

Hawrelak Park rehabilitation (river valley / central-west). Hawrelak is one of the river valley's anchor amenities for Glenora, Crestwood, Parkview and the neighbourhoods around them. A finished rehabilitation removes the "closed for construction" asterisk that hung over listings near the park for several seasons.

Coronation Park Sports and Recreation Centre (central). A completed major recreation centre is a daily-life amenity for the surrounding mature neighbourhoods — the kind of finished facility that shows up in buyers' shortlists, not just in city brochures.

Bridges. The Beverly and Dawson bridge rehabilitations are done, and the Wellington Bridge rehabilitation is nearing completion — unglamorous work that east- and north-side commuters feel every single day.

Still in progress, per the City of Edmonton, Nov. 10, 2026 update: the Valley Line West LRT, the Capital Line South LRT, the Yellowhead Trail Freeway Conversion and Imagine Jasper Avenue, plus six completed Neighbourhood Renewal projects this year. About half of the 200+ projects are renewal work — fixing what exists — rather than new growth projects.

What this means if you are buying

Buy near finished infrastructure, and price promises carefully. A completed corridor or park is worth paying for because you can use it from possession day. A project that is still in design or early construction is a reason to like an area's direction — not a reason to pay a finished-project premium. When we compare two homes, I separate what is done, what is under construction, and what is only planned, and we price each one differently.

What this means if you are selling

If your home sits near a project that finished in 2026, that completion belongs in your pricing evidence and your listing story — a completed Terwillegar Drive stage or a reopened Hawrelak Park is a concrete, checkable fact, not marketing language. If your area's big project is still underway, expect buyers to discount for construction, and price to today's sold comparables rather than to the finished future.

Does finished infrastructure raise home values in Edmonton?

Which Edmonton projects are still under construction?
