Mission Calgary Condo Community Review

Tribeca condos in Mission CalgaryMission Calgary is a highly desirable urban living destination in the southwest inner city region. In recent years, the area has seen a steady climb in new Calgary condos and infill development due to its prime location.

Mission was originally a village named Rouleauville and was founded by Dame de la Paix, a group of French Catholic missionaries.

Mission is located in close proximity to downtown Calgary as well as amenities and services essential for living. 4th Street SW is a well known business district that happens to border the community and access to main routes and recreational pathways, the Talisman Centre and more has never been quicker and easier to do than when living in the highly regarded and desirable inner city neighbourhood.

Other than infills, two new condo developments underway in Mission are Tribeca Condos and The River Condos. Tribeca is currently sold out, while The River is a revolutionary development in Calgary that has set the standard of condo luxury living in Calgary higher than ever before.

Mission Amenities and Services

Mission has great access to businesses of all types ranging from A to Z. Take a five minute walk to 4th Street SW to get some shopping done, head to 17th Avenue SE / SW to meet a friend at a night club or restaurant, take one of the multiple bridges over to the Talisman or walk to the Stampede grounds during July.

Let's not forget that the downtown core is walking distance away, where over 1000 business reside and operate. Macleod Trail SW is a short walk and even a shorter drive away from the community that has a mainstay of services ready to serve you.
