Equitable and impact‑driven real estate
Astra is a group of companies that work synergistically to create more equitable, sustainable housing and value for stakeholders.
Astra Group includes development, construction, property management, and ownership. This wholistic approach enables us to integrate our values throughout our operations. With this model, we work with stakeholders to create building environments that benefit the planet, our communities, and the people who live in them.
In our 10 years, we have expanded from a premier commercial-residential renovator into a group of companies leading the way in Western Canada in terms of impact development and adaptive reuse. Our steady growth is based on an innovative approach to fiscal, environmental, social, and governance responsibility.
“I believe this is a crucial but nevertheless exciting time for development. The social and environmental challenges we face are pressing. Housing especially is at a crossroads, and these challenges must be addressed head on. Canadians have never faced such housing inequality. Our aim is to set a standard for the necessary change that will inspire others to follow our lead.”

Office-to-residential conversion
Featured project
The Cornerstone
The Cornerstone is one of our three newest Developments. It is a 10-floor office-to-residential conversion, will introduce 112 suites, including affordable and accessible units, to downtown Calgary and is targeted to meet green certification standards.
Two years ago, this tower sat empty and unused, depleting Calgary’s downtown vitality. Once completed, it will become a vibrant centre that brings households and foot traffic to the Core.
We are partnering with community organizations to ensure we maximize housing access and benefit to the downtown community.
Substantial completion is expected by early 2024.
