Zoned MU-1 with a 3.0 Floor Area Ratio & a maximum building height of 16 metres, this site allows developers the freedom to build up to 18,000+ sq ft (depending on design).

This zoning supports a versatile mixed-use format aligned with Calgary’s long-term land use strategy & provides the flexibility to adapt to changing market demands. BOWNESS ROAD NW – A NEIGHBOURHOOD MAIN STREET ON THE RISE. Located within a designated Neighbourhood Main Street in the Calgary Municipal Development Plan, the site benefits from public investment, infrastructure improvements, & strong community engagement. The area is surrounded by shops, parks, transit, schools, & the Bow River Pathway, making it one of Calgary’s most desirable growth corridors. Directly across the street, a 176-unit condo is underway—boosting density and foot traffic that could support two retail bays on this lot. DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL. Subject to city approval, redevelopment options include mid-rise residential with 12–18 units, a mixed-use building with retail at grade & housing above, or ground-oriented townhomes designed for families, working professionals, or downsizers. A site-specific design could incorporate rooftop patios, green features, & modern architecture to maximize value. Calgary’s continued westward population growth & strong demand for urban living outside the downtown core position this site perfectly to meet both investor goals & community needs. WHY INVEST HERE? Proven area growth with strong absorption in adjacent developments. Built-in demand from professionals, families, & downsizers seeking urban lifestyle. Excellent transit connectivity & walkable access to amenities support higher density. City-backed redevelopment vision offers long-term upside. Corner exposure makes this a rare infill with curb appeal & strong development potential.
