Calgary’s Concrete Chronicles: The +15 Skywalk Network

This edition of Calgary’s Concrete Chronicles dives into one of the most quietly influential pieces of urban infrastructure in the city - a system so embedded in daily life that many Calgarians forget how radical it really is. The +15 Skywalk Network isn’t flashy. It doesn’t ask for attention. But it has shaped how downtown Calgary works for more than five decades.  

Suspended above the street grid and stitched through office towers, hotels, retail centres, and cultural spaces, the +15 is pure Calgary thinking: practical, climate-aware, and unapologetically efficient.

This is concrete designed for movement, survival, and continuity - a city built one level above itself.

Calgary’s Concrete Chronicles: Studio Bell (National Music Centre)

This chapter of Calgary’s Concrete Chronicles takes us to a building that doesn’t just sit in the city — it changes the energy around it. These are the places built from concrete, steel, and glass that quietly shape how Calgary feels to live in, not just how it looks. 

Today’s stop is one of the best examples of that: Studio Bell, home of the National Music Centre.

It rises out of the East Village like a sculpture — not a traditional “museum” shape, but something that feels in motion. And what I love about it is this: it’s a building designed around something you can’t see. Sound. Rhythm. Resonance. Memory.

Yet it’s built with the most grounded materials we have — concrete,…

Calgary’s Concrete Chronicles: Calgary’s Former Calgary Board of Education Headquarters 

Welcome back to Calgary’s Concrete Chronicles — a series where we dig into the concrete buildings that helped shape this city long before glass towers took over the skyline. These are the structures that tell real stories about ambition, planning, and the version of Calgary that leaders once believed the city could become.

This chapter focuses on one of downtown’s most quietly important buildings: the former Calgary Board of Education (CBE) headquarters along Macleod Trail SE. You’ve driven past it. You’ve probably wondered what it is. And you may not realize how central it was to Calgary’s first attempt at large-scale urban renewal.

January 2026 Calgary Real Estate Statistics Recap    

Calgary’s housing market began the year at a measured pace, with January activity reflecting a typical post-holiday reset. Sales totaled 1,234 units, down 15% from last year, but closely aligned with long-term seasonal norms.

The slowdown was most pronounced in higher-density housing, where buyers took longer to re-engage amid growing supply and broader options. Apartment and row homes saw the sharpest reduction in activity, while detached homes remained comparatively resilient.

According to Ann-Marie Lurie, Chief Economist at CREB®, buyer behavior in January reflected changing market dynamics rather than weakening fundamentals.…

Along the Bow: Stories and Structures That Shape the City

Calgary isn’t just built around the Bow River — it’s shaped by it. From iconic bridges to quiet pathways, the spaces along the river tell the story of how this city moves, connects, and evolves. 

Along the Bow explores the landmarks, structures, and places that define life beside the water. Some are bold. Some are subtle. All of them shape how we experience Calgary — one crossing, one connection, one moment at a time.

Some infrastructure disappears into the background. The Peace Bridge did the opposite. It showed up loud — in colour, in form, and in public reaction. Love it, question it, or still argue about it at dinner, the reality is simple: the bridge changed the conversation.

It…

Calgary’s Concrete Chronicles: Centre Street Bridge

This chapter of Calgary’s Concrete Chronicles explores one of the city’s most enduring and quietly powerful landmarks — the Centre Street Bridge. More than a crossing, it is a physical thread woven through Calgary’s growth, linking generations, neighbourhoods, and moments in time. 

This bridge doesn’t shout for attention. It doesn’t compete for headlines or skyline dominance. Instead, it does something far more important — it shows up, every day, carrying the rhythm of a city that never quite stops moving.

For more than a century, the Centre Street Bridge has served as both gateway and guardian, guiding people into the heart of Calgary while silently witnessing the city’s evolution.

Detached… But Not Really? Understanding Garage-Linked Homes in Calgary

If you’ve seen our three recent listings, you may have wondered: what kind of home is this?

They look detached, but the garages are touching. They aren’t townhomes. They aren’t duplexes. And they don’t fit neatly into the categories most buyers are used to.

You’re not imagining things.

This is one of the most misunderstood housing styles in Calgary: garage-linked homes.

They look semi-detached from the street. They’re often marketed as detached. They live somewhere in between. And for buyers, sellers, and even some agents, that confusion matters.

Let’s clear it up.

Calgary’s Concrete Chronicles: The Bow River Pathway System

This chapter of Calgary’s Concrete Chronicles focuses on one of the city’s most quietly powerful achievements — a linear piece of infrastructure that touches more neighbourhoods, routines, and memories than almost any building ever could. The Bow River Pathway System isn’t just a trail. It’s a spine.

Stretching along the Bow River’s banks, stitched together by bridges, underpasses, and carefully engineered river edges, the pathway system defines how Calgarians move, decompress, and connect with nature — without ever leaving the city.

This is concrete working in harmony with water, landscape, and daily life.

Calgary’s Concrete Chronicles: The Calgary Zoo

This is the next chapter in Calgary’s Concrete Chronicles — our ongoing deep dive into the places built of steel, stone, and concrete that quietly shape how Calgarians live, gather, and connect with the city. These aren’t just structures. They’re long-standing civic investments that tell stories about who Calgary was, who it is, and who it’s becoming. 

Today’s stop isn’t a single building or plaza — it’s an entire living campus rooted along the Bow River: the iconic Calgary Zoo. For more than a century, it’s been a place where infrastructure, conservation, and community intersect in a way few urban spaces ever manage.

The Zoo isn’t just about animals. It’s about how Calgary chose to build space for…
