The Developer
A lifetime mastering difficult things — and a lifetime in love with the land that shaped him.
Diamond Ridge was brought to life by longtime resident Don Beaton. With over 400 lots developed in the area, multiple commercial projects, and decades of experience across every stage of building, Don's goal is simple: bring value to the community he loves, for the people who live here and the people who aspire to. You'll often find him working the site himself, smile included.
Don started working alongside his father at thirteen, learning excavation from the ground up. By eighteen he ran his own excavation company, then earned his journeyman carpenter ticket to master residential craftsmanship — a career spanning commercial structures and even professional roping competitions across Alberta and the United States.
He moved to Alberta in 1998 and has lived on his Diamond Valley ranch for nearly twenty years, surrounded by his horses, his loyal dog Sumo, and the foothills he calls home. A proud father of five daughters and a stepson, he has spent years quietly supporting local trades and hiring local crews. For Don, this isn't a project — it's a community he's part of, and one he hopes his neighbours will be proud of for generations.
