Currie Barracks Calgary Inner City Community and Home Search

Currie Barracks is a new inner city neighbourhood in southwest Calgary founded on the old military residential area, also known as the Canadian Forces Base (CFB).

Just recently Canada Lands Company (CLC), the developer of Currie Barracks, submitted a proposal to City Council to increase the number of residential units and add even more retail, commercial and office space to the central market proposed for the community.

These additional amenities and increased amount of residential units are in response to demand for inner city properties in a city undergoing rapid urbanization.

Needless to say, Currie Barracks is the epitome of an inner city lifestyle where all the must-have amenities, downtown and Calgary's famous network of river parks and pathways are all easily accessed whether that be on foot or by vehicle.

Did you know..?

Currie Barracks is the first neighbourhood in Canada to be recognized as a leader in environmental and engineering design for a community development.

Currie Barracks is home to the largest amount of landscapes and highly significant buildings of old for any urban residential area in the province.

If you can’t find what you are looking for at the commercial and retail spaces in the community itself, hop onto Crowchild Trail to arrive at Chinook Mall. If that’s too far, drive to 33rd Avenue SW and find what you’re looking for in the prestigious shopping district of Marda Loop.
