The Aster - Banff Avenue Housing Development

The Aster - Banff Avenue Housing Development

The Town of Banff is developing 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 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.

Council approved a 33 unit development on Banff Avenue on October 13, 2020.

The Aster will be on three lots at 338-342 Banff Avenue. Learn more about The Aster at https://asterbanff.ca/. 

This will be a price-restricted home ownership project.
