This
two-tower, mixed-use development fuses historic preservation and urban
design. The towers' podiums have two faces: The commercial face reflects
a neighbouring historic brick building. The commercial outlets reinforce
the existing streetscape and maintain a pedestrian scale. The other
face responds to a heritage sandstone school and park environment.
The towers themselves are contemporary, light and glassy. The development
is the result of collaborative planning with the City of Calgary and
other stakeholders.
