Eau Claire Calgary Condo Community Profile
Eau Claire is a downtown condo community in Calgary located between the Bow River, 2nd Street SW, 3rd avenue SW and 8th Street SW. It was established in 1885 without having its official name just yet, one that was later adopted from the Eau Claire Lumber Company in 1886.
Eau Claire was once a quiet riverside residential community without much development. In recent decades the neighbouring business district of downtown Calgary has influenced the area, penetrating all aspects of Eau Claire and promoting new urban developments such as riverside condo complexes.
The community has a character created by both natural and urban environments that come together seamlessly to create one of the most enjoyable ambiances in the city centre. Amenities are available in Eau Claire Market as well as surrounding business districts north of the river and further south of 3rd Avenue SW.
