Silverado is a residential neighbourhood currently under development in the south-west quadrant of Calgary, Alberta. It is located at the southern edge of the city, south of the Spruce Meadows Trail and east of the equestrian sports facility Spruce Meadows. Its eastern boundary is presently Sheriff King Street, although the 2007 edition of "Sherlock's Map of Calgary" shows it extending to Macleod Trail. ["Sherlock's Map of Calgary" 9th Edition (2007), p. 4] The map also shows an as-yet unbuilt major road, 194 Avenue S.W., forming the community's southern boundary.

Silverado is represented in the Calgary City Council by Ward 14 Alderman Linda Fox-Mellway.

Development controversy

Prior to the commencement of development of Silverado, the owners of nearby Spruce Meadows pushed for a wetlands development to be established between the residential area and the show-jumping facility. Calgary City Council approved the wetlands proposal in 2004, along with a request that one of the major roads leading into Spruce Meadows not be upgraded to a residential collector street, although Spruce Meadows was unsuccessful in getting the City to increase the setback between Silverado and the facility. [Jan Mansfield, "Spruce Meadows wins wetlands protection", "Business Edge", Feb. 19, 2004. (archived [http://www.businessedge.ca/article.cfm/newsID/5236.cfm here] , accessed 2008-01-09]

Construction of homes in the community began in 2005.
