Section23 History and Experience

Creating community through dynamic, inspired built environments

Section23 is a diversified collective specializing in residential design, land development and housing, with a track record spanning more than three decades.

But Section23’s story truly began almost a century ago, when Joe and Florence Ollerenshaw settled on Section 33, a parcel of land south of Calgary, Alberta. Their son, Fred Ollerenshaw, along with his wife, Marjorie, later expanded the family farming and ranching operation with the purchase of nearby Section 23, the current location of the Ollerenshaw Ranch, now located in the community of Mahogany.

Over the years, the Ollerenshaw family earned a well-deserved reputation for innovation, sustainability, entrepreneurialism, philanthropy and commitment to Alberta’s agricultural community. The legacy is a point of pride today and was the inspiration for the development of the family’s lands and ultimately in the founding of Section23 Developments.
