More Residential Properties to Come at Currie Barracks Calgary

A new redevelopment plan is now on the drawing board for Currie Barracks, the third and final community to take shape from the old Canadian Forces Base that was decommissioned in 1998.

If approved by the City Council, 11,000 people could call Currie Barracks home in a decade from now when construction is complete. This is 4,000 more than what was originally set forth for the area.

Included is a redesigned central market with commercial, retail and office spaces which in turn will employ many, as well as a completely rethought residential master plan that will focus on a combination of single-family and multi-family housing similar to what is already seen in the area today.

Canada Lands Company (CLC), the developer of the three phase CFB redevelopment project, will be submitting their final proposal to the city council with response by the end of the year.

If all goes well, the first section of retail development is thought to open sometime in 2017. Also, several historical buildings will be kept as heritage sites which will add lots of character to the already stylish Euro-themed community.

No Stranger to Multi-Family

Calgary is no stranger to recent urbanization projects which are increasing the population density of the inner city areas. Neighbourhoods such as Sunnyside, Hillhurst, South Calgary, Altadore, Inglewood, Mission, Victoria Park and Connaught to name a few have also saw their own share of multi-family projects in recent years.

The difference between these well-established communities and Currie Barracks is age of course. As one of the newest and most exclusive community developments in Calgary’s inner city, these recently constructed multi-family buildings and single-family homes will offer living opportunities for a full range of buyers.

Today, Currie Barracks is a very affluent area consisting mostly of townhomes and single-family properties over the $700,000 range.
