The Aster - Banff Avenue Housing Development

The Aster - Banff Avenue Housing Development

The Town of Banff developed a complex with 33 dwelling units in the heart of downtown Banff to provide affordable, for-purchase housing for eligible Banff residents. This development, called The Aster, is part of the Banff Housing Strategy to ensure those working in Banff are able to live in Banff. The homes were sold at the cost of construction only. The development was complete in October 2023.

The Banff Housing Corporation will manage the building and sales of the dwellings. 

The Aster is named after a perennial wildflower frequently found in Banff National Park.

The Aster is located at 340 Banff Avenue. 

Learn more about The Aster, floor plans, price lists and more at AsterBanff.ca. 

Learn about the Hindes Cabin, a heritage structure on the site that will be preserved and integrated into the common area of the condominium complex.

Condo units are sold out

The Aster is completely sold out. The Banff Housing Corporation manages sales of the dwellings and the operations of the completed building.  All dwellings were selected by lottery and finalized.
