South Bank Mixed-Use Development: Evolving Calgary’s Oldest Neighbourhood at Human Scale

The South Bank Mixed-Use Development reimagines the entrance to Calgary’s iconic Inglewood neighbourhood, blending the area’s industrial heritage with its progressive vision for the future. Spanning 85,800 square feet, this innovative project unites a sleek, contemporary building referencing the contextual scale and materiality of the neighbourhood’s historic brick and concrete buildings; creating a harmonious space that fuses residential, retail, and office functions while ensuring alignment with the Inglewood Area Redevelopment Plan.

Positioned as a bridge between Inglewood and downtown Calgary, South Bank preserves the distinctive architectural essence of the area while introducing forward-thinking elements that elevate urban living. Each design decision was informed by thoughtful planning and collaboration, ensuring the integration of modern architecture in a unique neighbourhood. The five-storey development encompasses 62 upscale rental apartments, seven townhome-style live-work units, and eight boutique retail spaces, cultivating a dynamic live-work-play environment. Residents enjoy private terraces on the fifth floor and pedestrian pathways at grade inviting vibrant street-level engagement.
