But what we’re
really doing is building better lives

We’re a team united by the idea that better inner-city buildings mean better lives for our residents and anyone who has the pleasure of strolling down one of Calgary’s urban streets.

We intelligently build awe-inspiring buildings that create exceptional value for our homeowners, where it matters most to them. And, as long as the Battistella name exists, those are the buildings we will strive to create— ones that leave the communities they live within better than they found them.

About us

Building the urban mosaic

It’s 1980; enter Jacqueline and Giovanni Battistella. Yes, that multisyllabic Italian-sounding word is actually a last name, the last name of our company’s founders to be specific. Two passionate people who chose Canada, and Calgary, as their homes and then dedicated their lives to making it a better place for all to live.

As a credit to Jacqueline and Giovanni’s penchant for innovative, inner-city design, in 1986 their leadership in infill development was recognized with a Governor General of Canada Award.

Today, Battistella Developments remains a true family-run business with the next generation, Paul and Simon Battistella, expanding on their parents’ vision.

On any given day of the week there’s a good chance you’ll find Paul or Simon either in a hard hat or delving deep into blueprints. They’re hands on, not because they have to be, but because they believe taking personal ownership in the work they do creates lasting value for our customers.

We believe so strongly in the value of what we’re creating for today and for all of Calgary’s tomorrows, that we’re not just builders, we are owners too.
