About - Beljan

We’re not just a development company; we’re a movement towards creating a better Edmonton. At Beljan we strive to build architecturally prominent buildings that highlight the best of Edmonton, buildings that are creatively designed while still holding true the fabric of the communities they are a part of. We believe that buildings should interact with the built environment and that streets lined with cafés, shops and galleries create a valuable social experience that contributes greatly to a city’s identity and culture.

Passionate about a better edmonton

The team at Beljan Development shares a huge passion for Edmonton and for urban community development. We are united in the belief that a better Edmonton involves connecting people, homes and businesses into communities that are lively, social and walkable. After all, a city is fundamentally made up of people, not buildings.

Our approach to every project is highly collaborative. Each project starts with assembling a multidisciplinary team that consists of key professionals and specialists because we believe that selecting the right team is one of the key factors towards executing a successful development.
