Calgary's downtown commercial core is a vibrant hub of economic activity, serving as the city’s business and financial center. This area is home to iconic skyscrapers, office buildings, and corporate headquarters, housing a mix of national and international companies. The core is easily accessible, with major transit systems like the C-Train light rail, buses, and bike lanes facilitating mobility.
