Development With Intention

The Tsuut’ina people have a deep reverence for the land and believe that it provides everything necessary to sustain life. They adhere to the principle of taking only what is needed and showing gratitude for what has been taken. This sacred connection to the natural world heavily influences the Taza design process, which has been collaboratively shaped with principles from world-class architecture.

These include environmental, social, and governance practices, as well as the integration of emerging technologies, leading-edge urban planning and design for environmental protection. These environmental initiatives are further reinforced by a set of Tsuut’ina development laws and civic procedures that mirror those found in major municipalities, ensuring a high standard of development and business operation. Ultimately, Taza represents the culmination of thorough planning and design, with a focus on maximum adaptability to meet the needs of the environment, society, and economy in the future.
