Advancing a bold vision for an urban culture & entertainment district
CMLC and Calgary Stampede are underway with the delivery of a 20-year master plan for The Culture + Entertainment District (The C+E).
Guiding east Victoria Park’s transformation into Calgary’s C+E
CMLC’s 20-year vision for east Victoria Park describes a mixed-use community that’s home to 8,000 additional residents and four million sq ft of new development. The Rivers District Master Plan was crafted to flexibly imagine and integrate modernized amenities like a new Event Centre, an expanded BMO Centre, the Stampede Trail retail corridor and other entertainment and cultural amenities.
In 2018, CMLC and Calgary Stampede unveiled the Rivers District Master Plan—our roadmap for east Victoria Park’s transformation into The C+E.
Our vision for The C+E is already attracting private investment as developers recognize the neighbourhood’s growing momentum.
The BMO Centre expansion, 17th Avenue extension and Stampede Trail are giving our master-plan vision a solid foundation.
Approved January 2018
After pausing road works for Stampede 2023, construction on more than $600M in major city-building projects is ramping back up in The Culture + Entertainment District. This week, the intersection of 11 Ave and 4 St S.E. will close to enable the Green Line LRT’s Beltline and Downtown Utilities Relocation Project, effectively closing the 4 St S.E. Underpass to vehicles until late 2023. Pedestrian and cycling access will be maintained.
