    Outstanding opportunity to acquire a fully assembled, mid-block development site in Calgary’s Beltline community. This 9,756 square foot site spans three contiguous lots at 1314, 1316, and 1318 15 Avenue SW and is currently zoned CC-MH (Centre City Multi-Residential High Rise District) under Land Use Bylaw 1P2007. This zoning supports a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of up to 5.0, allowing for substantial future density in one of Calgary’s most dynamic and walkable urban neighbourhoods. The site is rectangular in shape with approximately 75 feet of frontage along 15 Avenue SW and rear lane access, offering strong development efficiency. Located between 12 Street and 14 Street SW, it enjoys immediate access to key commuter routes including 14 Street, 17 Avenue, and 12 Avenue SW, with nearby transit options enhancing connectivity for future residents or tenants. The property is within walking distance to grocery stores, restaurants, fitness studios, and both downtown and 17th Avenue’s retail corridors—an essential attribute for any successful multi-residential project. The land is improved with three separate structures: two are currently rented out, and the third is used as a professional office space. These improvements generate short-term holding income and provide flexibility for interim commercial or residential uses (subject to City of Calgary approvals). The site’s existing configuration and tenancies reduce carrying costs while future development planning is underway. This valuation reflects comparability to several recent area land transactions, adjusted for location, zoning, and development readiness. No development applications have been submitted to date, providing a clean slate for a custom-built vision. With its location inside the Beltline Area Redevelopment Plan, this parcel benefits from a municipal planning framework that prioritizes high-density residential growth. The CC-MH zoning allows for a wide range of uses and building forms, with potential for further density incentives where community benefit contributions apply. Whether you're a builder, developer, or investor seeking to hold income-producing land in Calgary’s inner core, this offering provides both immediate utility and long-term potential in equal measure.

Built in 1912, this beautifully maintained Craftsman-style home offers a rare blend of preserved heritage detail and thoughtful modern updates. Positioned on a quiet pie-shaped lot, the property enjoys elevated views of the downtown skyline and Nose Hill Park. This two-storey residence features four generously sized bedrooms, a comfortable library or entertainment area, and a wine/root cellar tucked beneath a main floor powder room added in 2015. The original millwork with leaded glass, restored quarter-sawn oak, and a hidden liquor cabinet from the Prohibition era speak to the home’s storied past. A major renovation completed in the 1990s introduced radiant stone floor heating, oak hardwood, and custom finishes throughout, enhancing comfort while maintaining architectural integrity. The kitchen, renovated in 1995 by Empire Kitchen & Bath, includes Downsview cabinetry, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a custom copper hood fan, and city-facing windows that bring natural light into the space. The front veranda overlooks a mature garden established over 77 years ago, now a vibrant arboretum featuring multiple species of larch trees and a tranquil pond that attracts a variety of birds. Outdoor dining areas are integrated into the landscape, creating a private urban retreat. Heating is provided through a combination of radiant and hot water baseboard systems. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the main living area, while leaded-glass built-ins and original detailing add warmth and character. There is potential to reconfigure the upper level to create a spacious primary suite. The property also includes an oversized detached double garage, providing ample space for vehicles and storage.

    Introducing the Campbell Residence – A Rare Offering in the Heart of Elbow Park! Built in 1912, The Campbell Residence is a beautifully restored example of Georgian Revival-style architecture in Calgary. Situated on a 60' x 126' lot across from the Elbow River and surrounded by mature trees and lush landscaping, this 4,250 sq.ft. red-brick estate blends timeless architectural charm with modern functionality for contemporary living. Its dignified exterior—defined by formal symmetry, quality pressed brick, and a full-width veranda with classical balustrades—recalls the grace of substantial American colonial homes. But step inside, and you’ll find a residence that has been thoughtfully and extensively restored to today’s standards while preserving its historic soul. This home also has a storied past. Joseph Campbell acquired the lot in 1911, and in the decades that followed, it was occupied by several notable Calgarians, including Percy Carson, Mrs. Adelaide E. Parker, and Mrs. W.A. Stevens. From 1924 to 1927, it was the residence of John Burns, and nephew of Senator Patrick Burns. From 1929 to 1957, the home was owned by industrialist Frederick L. Irving and his family—marking over four decades of prominence in Calgary’s social and business history. Inside, expansive principal rooms offer exceptional flow for everyday living and elegant entertaining. The formal living room features original millwork, a fireplace, and French doors that open to a private southwest-facing patio with an outdoor fireplace. The formal dining room is ideal for hosting, while a cozy family room with its own fireplace provides a relaxed retreat. The beautifully updated kitchen pairs heritage style with high-end functionality—featuring classic white cabinetry, a generous walk-in pantry, top-tier appliances, a hearth-style sitting area with fireplace, and heated floors. The upper floors include four bedrooms—three with ensuites—highlighted by a luxurious primary suite with a 5-piece ensuite and a spacious laundry room. The third floor offers flexible space for a gym or quiet retreat, complete with a large bedroom and full bathroom—ideal for teens, guests, or a live-in nanny. A den or home office completes this versatile level. Modern upgrades are seamlessly integrated throughout, including new electrical and plumbing systems, built-in Sonos surround speakers, Nest thermostats, and secure electronic entry and car gates—all enhancing daily comfort. The lower level is currently undeveloped but includes full architectural plans, offering the opportunity to tailor additional living space to your needs. A triple heated attached garage with an oversized door also includes a lofted bonus space—perfect for a gym, art studio, or music retreat. Enjoy a walkable lifestyle just steps to top schools, parks, river pathways, the Glencoe Club, and the shops and restaurants of 4th Street. With its rich history, modern upgrades and unbeatable location, The Campbell Residence is a true legacy home. More details
