Major Housing Project in Anmore Withdrawn Last Minute — What’s Next for the Village?

A highly anticipated development proposal that would have brought over 1,750 new homes to the quiet village of Anmore has been officially withdrawn—just one hour before its scheduled public hearing.

The project by Icona Properties would have spanned more than 150 acres, introducing duplexes, townhomes, and apartments that could have tripled the local population over time. While some saw it as a necessary evolution to support housing diversity, the vast majority of public feedback focused on serious concerns:

• Traffic congestion and limited evacuation routes

• Overstretched infrastructure and schools

• Environmental degradation and loss of Anmore’s rural charm

• A lack of reliable public transit access

Some residents did support the plan, citing the need for options beyond single-family homes—especially for downsizing families and young adults who grew up in the area.

Now that the application has been withdrawn, the project is considered off the table. However, Anmore’s future development remains a key topic of interest and conversation.
