We are an entrepreneurial group of hands-on doers and placemakers. Our approach is rooted in community participation and designed to strengthen the connections between places, experiences and people. Over the past ten years, we have transformed East Village into one of the most eagerly anticipated neighbourhoods in Calgary. And we're just getting started.
CMLC was created with the ambitious mandate to revitalize the neighbourhood the Rivers District with the neighbourhood of East Village.
CMLC has expanded its focus to unlock placemaking potential in the broader Rivers District area.
When CMLC’s work is complete, more than 11,500 residents will call East Village home. To ensure they’re as proud of the neighbourhood as we are, we’ve partnered with residential developers whose track records of helping create successful, sustainable communities across North America are strong.
From the start, East Village was envisioned as a complete urban village with 411,500 sq ft of total retail space. To help realize our retail strategy – a complementary mix of ‘urban format’ and 'village style’ retail – CMLC has partnered with some of North America’s most notable and capable commercial developers.
Recognizing that there’s far more to creating a vital and enduring neighbourhood than just building homes and shops, CMLC has forged partnerships with a variety of cultural and community partners to enhance East Village with compelling amenities and engaging cultural attractions.
