Century Park Station is the current southern terminus of Edmonton’s Capital Line LRT, and the assumption that “end of the line” means a long commute or nothing worth renting yet doesn’t hold up. The ride from Century Park Station to Churchill Station in the downtown core takes about 23 minutes, according to transit trip-planning data, and three rental buildings, Central Tower, Louvre Residences, and Century Gardens, were already leasing steps from the platform as of September 2026. Edmonton’s citywide average rent for a furnished one-bedroom was $1,398 in September 2026, down 3.9% year over year, according to liv.rent’s September 2026 Calgary and Edmonton rent report.
What is Century Park Station, and why is it changing?
Century Park Station sits at 111 Street and 23 Avenue in south Edmonton and has been the Capital Line’s southern terminus since it opened in April 2010, according to the City of Edmonton. The site used to be anchored by a large surface park and ride lot, but that land is now part of an eight-hectare redevelopment: Edmonton city council voted in 2026 to rezone it from a restrictive direct control designation to a new Century Park Mixed Use Zone that permits buildings up to 22 storeys, according to Taproot Edmonton. The rezoning clears the way for developer K&H Developments to build out roughly 2,500 housing units across the site over the next eight to 10 years, according to Global News.
Most drivers heading to Century Park Station from further south no longer park at the station itself: the Heritage Valley Park and Ride, a 1,100-stall lot with room to expand to 1,900 stalls, connects to Century Park Transit Centre by shuttle buses running every five to 10 minutes on weekdays between 5 a.m. and 10 p.m., according to the City of Edmonton.
Who does renting near Century Park Station actually suit?
Renting near Century Park Station suits people who value a short, predictable LRT ride over walkable nightlife right outside the door, and it suits four groups of renters in particular. It doesn’t suit renters who want an established commercial strip nearby today; the retail side of Century Park is still years from finished.
Commuters driving in from the south and west who want to park and ride
Renters who work downtown or near the University of Alberta but live, or want to live, south of Anthony Henday Drive get the clearest benefit here: park at Heritage Valley’s 1,100-stall lot, shuttle to Century Park Station, then ride the LRT the rest of the way, avoiding downtown parking costs entirely.
Renters who want new construction over an established neighbourhood
Every rental building leasing at Century Park as of September 2026 was completed in 2019 or later, so renters trade the character of an older inner-city walk-up for in-suite laundry, air conditioning, and underground parking.
Renters who don’t mind trading nightlife for quiet and space
There is no corner-store strip or late-night restaurant row at Century Park yet, since the retail component of the site is still being built out under the new zoning, so this location suits renters who are fine with big-box shopping at South Edmonton Common and Southgate Centre nearby rather than a walkable main street.
Early movers who want in before the neighbourhood fills in
With roughly 2,500 housing units planned across the whole site and just over 800 built so far across Central Tower, Louvre Residences, and Century Gardens combined, renters who sign a lease now are moving in near the start of a build-out the city expects to take another eight to 10 years to finish.
What rental buildings are actually renting near Century Park Station?
Three purpose-built rental buildings were leasing next to Century Park Station as of September 2026, each within roughly a five-minute walk of the platform: Central Tower, Louvre Residences, and Century Gardens. All three are professionally managed, and each opened within the last several years, which is part of why this stretch of south Edmonton still feels new.
Central Tower
Central Tower is an 18-storey, 176-unit building at 2610 109 Street NW, steps from Century Park Station, with one-bedroom suites starting around $1,775 a month and two-bedrooms from about $2,049 as of September 2026, according to operator Equiton Living. It was originally developed by Procura and completed in 2019, and it now offers a fitness centre, a golf simulator, a rooftop lounge, and heated underground parking.
Louvre Residences
Louvre Residences, branded Le Louvre, is a 358-unit building at 11025 26 Avenue NW directly beside the LRT station, with studios listed from about $1,400, one-bedrooms from $1,500, and two-bedrooms from $2,050 as of September 2026, according to the building’s own site. It was developed by Procura with an art-focused design theme and live/work suites, and it’s now operated by Strategic Group.
Century Gardens
Century Gardens is a 278-unit, seven-storey rental building at 2815 109A Street NW, completed in mid-2023 as the first residential phase of K&H Developments’ broader Century Park community, according to the Canadian Precast Concrete Institute. It offers junior to three-bedroom suites plus a 2.5-acre fenced dog park called Century Bark, and it’s managed day to day by ICM Property Management Group.
Here is how the three compare on the numbers that matter most to renters:
| Building | Units | Storeys | Starting rent (September 2026) | Opened | Managed by |
| Central Tower | 176 | 18 | $1,775 (one-bedroom) | 2019 | Equiton Living |
| Louvre Residences | 358 | 6 | $1,400 (studio) | early 2020s | Strategic Group |
| Century Gardens | 278 | 7 | Not published online | 2023 | ICM Property Management Group |
What’s still coming to Century Park?
A second apartment building, a 293-unit next phase of the Century Gardens project, was under construction as of March 2026, according to the Canadian Precast Concrete Institute. Separately, Edmonton’s 2026 rezoning clears the way for a 250-unit building to break ground under the new zoning, with a groundbreaking targeted for April 2027, according to Global News. Public reporting does not make clear whether this 250-unit building is the same project as the 293-unit phase above, an updated count for it, or a distinct building; readers should treat the two figures as separately reported rather than additive.
City planners expect the full build-out, including new retail along 27 Avenue, to take another eight to 10 years, and the pace of that construction is worth watching for renters who plan to stay in the area long-term.
What should renters know about rent and notice periods near Century Park?
Alberta has no cap on how much a landlord can raise the rent, but the timing is still governed by the province’s Residential Tenancies Act. For a monthly periodic tenancy, a landlord must give at least three full tenancy months’ written notice, and rent can’t be raised again until 365 days have passed since the tenancy started or since the last increase, according to the Centre for Public Legal Education Alberta. During a fixed-term lease, rent can’t be raised at all until that term ends.
Edmonton’s average furnished one-bedroom rent was $1,398 in September 2026, down 3.9% year over year, according to liv.rent’s September 2026 Calgary and Edmonton rent report; prices for individual buildings near Century Park Station may differ from that citywide average. This is general information, not legal or financial advice; renters and landlords with a specific dispute should confirm current rules directly with Alberta’s Residential Tenancy Dispute Resolution Service.

Is Century Park Station the end of the line for Edmonton's LRT?
Yes, Century Park Station is currently the southern terminus of Edmonton’s Capital Line, and has been since it opened in April 2010, according to the City of Edmonton. A future Capital Line South extension would eventually push service further, to a new station near Heritage Valley, but that extension has not been built yet.
How long is the LRT ride from Century Park Station to downtown Edmonton?
The trip from Century Park Station to Churchill Station in Edmonton’s downtown core takes about 23 minutes, according to transit trip-planning data.
Is there still park and ride at Century Park Station?
The large surface lot that used to sit at the station itself is being redeveloped, but drivers from further south can still park and ride: the Heritage Valley Park and Ride offers 1,100 stalls with shuttle buses to Century Park Transit Centre every five to 10 minutes on weekdays, according to the City of Edmonton.
What rental buildings are near Century Park Station right now?
As of September 2026, three buildings were leasing within about a five-minute walk of the station: Central Tower (176 units, one-bedrooms from about $1,775), Louvre Residences (358 units, studios from about $1,400), and Century Gardens (278 units). A fourth, 293-unit building was under construction as of March 2026.
Can a landlord in Alberta raise rent by any amount?
