A Comprehensive Guide for Calgary Homeowners and Investors"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p><strong>TL;DR:<\/strong> H-GO (Housing, Grade-Oriented) is Calgary&#8217;s zoning district for higher-density, ground-level housing on inner-city lots near transit and amenities. It allows up to 8 units per lot, with a max height of 12 metres and minimum 0.5 parking stalls per unit. Here&#8217;s what H-GO means for your property and how it compares to R-CG and R-G.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Calgary&#8217;s zoning landscape has changed dramatically in the past few years. H-GO stands for Housing, Grade-Oriented. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.calgary.ca\/planning\/land-use\/online-land-use-bylaw.html?part=15&#038;div=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">City of Calgary introduced it in January 2023<\/a> as part of a broader push to create more housing options in established communities, particularly along busier streets with good transit access. If your property falls in an H-GO area, you may be able to build significantly more than you&#8217;d expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Jenga Built, we work with H-GO properties regularly. It&#8217;s one of the most exciting zoning districts for both investors looking at multi-unit ROI and landowners wanting to maximize what their lot can produce. Compare it to <a href=\"https:\/\/jengabuilt.ca\/blog\/rcg-zoning-calgary-property-value\/\">R-CG<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/jengabuilt.ca\/blog\/calgary-rg-zone-bylaws\/\">R-G<\/a> in our <a href=\"https:\/\/jengabuilt.ca\/calgary-zoning-guide\">comprehensive zoning guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does H-GO Zoning Allow You to Build?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>H-GO allows a range of ground-oriented housing types, from duplexes to multi-unit developments of up to 8 homes on a single lot. Every unit must have its own entrance at ground level \u2014 no apartment-style buildings with shared hallways are permitted.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The types of housing you can build under H-GO include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Duplexes and semi-detached homes<\/li>\n<li>Rowhouses and townhomes<\/li>\n<li>Multi-unit ground-oriented developments (up to 8 units)<\/li>\n<li>Secondary suites within qualifying structures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The key design principle is that every home must have direct access at grade. This keeps the neighbourhood feel while still allowing meaningful density.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are the H-GO Development Rules?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the key numbers from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.calgary.ca\/content\/dam\/www\/pda\/pd\/documents\/housing-changes\/City-Regional-Planning%E2%80%93Building-Housing-Choice-H-GO-FINAL.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">City of Calgary&#8217;s H-GO bylaw<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Maximum building height:<\/strong> 12 metres (approximately 3 storeys)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maximum floor area ratio (FAR):<\/strong> 1.5<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maximum parcel coverage:<\/strong> 60%<\/li>\n<li><strong>Minimum parking:<\/strong> 0.5 stalls per unit and suite<\/li>\n<li><strong>Building separation:<\/strong> Minimum 6.5 metres between buildings on the same lot<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ground-level access:<\/strong> Every unit must have its own entrance at grade<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The reduced parking requirement (0.5 stalls per unit) reflects the fact that H-GO properties are typically near transit. This saves significant space on the lot for additional units or better outdoor areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where Is H-GO Zoning Applied in Calgary?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>H-GO is focused on inner-city Calgary properties along busier streets with nearby amenities and transit access.<\/strong> It&#8217;s not a blanket designation \u2014 it&#8217;s targeted to specific properties where higher density makes sense given the surrounding infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, an H-GO property is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Located on a mid-block or corner lot along a collector or arterial road<\/li>\n<li>Within close proximity to public transit (bus routes or CTrain stations)<\/li>\n<li>Near commercial areas, schools, parks, or other community amenities<\/li>\n<li>In the Centre City or established inner-city neighbourhoods<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll find H-GO-designated properties in parts of Hillhurst, Sunnyside, Bridgeland, and areas along major transit corridors.

H-GO properties are generally less affected, as H-GO was introduced separately in 2023 and applies to specific inner-city locations.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The broader political conversation around density in Calgary could affect future zoning decisions. If you own an H-GO property and are considering development, it&#8217;s worth acting sooner rather than later. <a href=\"https:\/\/jengabuilt.ca\/blog\/calgary-blanket-rezoning-2026\/\">Read our full blanket rezoning breakdown<\/a> to understand the full picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is H-GO Zoning a Good Investment Opportunity?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>H-GO properties represent some of the strongest infill investment opportunities in Calgary because they combine premium inner-city locations with higher density allowances and reduced parking requirements, maximizing income-producing units per lot.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On an R-CG lot, you might build 4 units. On a comparable H-GO lot, you could build 6 to 8.
