Edmonton-based Melcor Developments reported second-quarter results on August 13: revenue of $61.99 million, down 38.1% from Q2 2025, with the decline driven almost entirely by a steep drop in U.S. land sales. The Canadian side moved the other way — land revenue rose $10.32 million to $40.09 million on stronger single-family lot sales, and the company said demand for residential lots continued to support its Canadian business. Melcor also cut total debt 18.4% to $490.24 million and held its quarterly dividend at $0.15.
CEO Timothy Melton called the core Alberta operations “stable” with strong margins, and pointed to Alberta’s population growth as a continuing tailwind.
What it means: The builders buying those lots are the real signal — single-family lot absorption in Alberta is holding up even as headline construction numbers soften. Land positions registered today become community launches over the next 12–24 months, and the companies taking down lots now are the ones planning to grow through the cycle.
