Condos in East Village
East Village sits where the Bow and Elbow rivers meet, beside the site of Fort Calgary, and declined for decades after the Second World War. The City created the Calgary Municipal Land Corporation in 2007 to redevelop it, and every one of its roughly 2,100 condo units was built in 2000 or later, three-quarters of them since 2010.

The Central Library (opened 2018) and Studio Bell, home of the National Music Centre, anchor the neighbourhood.

East Village condo buildings
Almost entirely mid-rise and high-rise towers from the 2000s to the 2020s, many with amenity floors and river or skyline views, up to Arris Residences at 39 storeys. East Village is also home to N3, which CMLC describes as Canada's first parking-free condo.
Transit & CTrain
City Hall/Bow Valley College (Red & Blue lines, free fare zone) on its western edge; Bridgeland/Memorial (Blue) across the Bow. The Green Line's Event Centre/Grand Central station in Victoria Park, on the southeast segment targeted to open in 2031, will also serve East Village. See how the lines connect on our Calgary condo map & CTrain guide.
Transit Score 84 and Bike Score 91 out of 100.
What to watch for in East Village
East Village is on the Bow and Elbow floodplain and was evacuated in June 2013. CMLC has since raised the ground about five feet across 40 acres, but ask about each building's flood protection. Construction and event crowds will continue next door as Scotia Place and the Culture + Entertainment District build out to at least fall 2027. Not every unit comes with parking.
