Planning the financing for a development project — Cochrane
Why Cochrane

Cochrane is built for this move.

Cochrane’s fast growth and big Rocky View lots make it one of the Calgary region’s more suite-friendly satellite towns.

Financing is where good Cochrane projects die quietly — not because the money doesn’t exist, but because nobody sequenced it. Equity, construction draws, once-built refinancing and government-backed programs each have a moment; we line them up.

The rules in Cochrane: Cochrane permits interior secondary suites and detached backyard (garden) suites on lots with a single-detached home, each requiring a development and building permit. Rowhouses and multiplexes follow the town’s district zoning.

Cochrane questions

Asked in Cochrane.

Almost never cash. The typical stack: equity starts the project, construction financing carries the build, and refinancing against the once-built value repays it — with the rent servicing the debt from there.

No — it was cancelled in Budget 2025 and never launched. We build Cochrane financing plans around programs that are actually active today.

Increasingly, yes — lenders count rental income from legal units. That’s one more reason the legal-and-permitted route pays: illegal suite income often doesn’t count at the bank.
