Plus 15 Fund Offset Program

Plus 15 Fund Offset Program

The Plus 15 Fund Offset Program provides a financial incentive to encourage new residential development downtown within the boundary of the Plus 15.

The City is offering a reimbursement of up to $1 million per project. This incentive will help offset required contributions to the Plus 15 Fund.

This program aims to increase economic activity, vibrancy, and safety downtown by:

  • Encouraging new housing developments,
  • Increasing the downtown population,
  • Creating more businesses and things to do downtown,
  • Supporting property values, and
  • Improving the downtown experience for Calgarians.

  • Have questions?

    Email the program team with your comments or concerns.
