The Riverfront is a low-rise condominium building in Calgary’s East Village, offering private residences with river and city views in a peaceful community setting just steps from the Bow River pathways.
Completed in 2000, The Riverfront features 145 residences within a four-storey structure built with wood-frame construction over a concrete parkade. The building’s design creates a quiet, neighbourhood feel while maintaining the convenience of modern amenities and thoughtful layouts. Many suites include nine-foot ceilings, heated floors, gas fireplaces, in-suite laundry, and private balconies that capture views of the river or surrounding cityscape.
Residents enjoy a highly walkable location with immediate access to the Bow River Pathway system, Prince’s Island Park, Chinatown, and the shops and cafes of East Village. The building offers secure heated underground parking with titled stalls, visitor parking, dedicated bike storage, storage lockers, and elevator access. With essential utilities often included in condo fees and a pet-friendly policy, The Riverfront provides comfortable and connected urban living along Calgary’s most scenic waterfront corridor.
The East Village is Calgary at its most dynamic and creative, an exciting inner city neighbourhood and destination where Calgary’s most inspiring people, events and opportunities are concentrated in a few walkable, bikeable and well-connected streets.
The neighbourhood is a model of urban revitalization, blending Calgary’s rich history with innovative design and sustainable living. It’s a neighborhood where modern condo living meets cultural landmarks like the National Music Centre and the Calgary Central Library, creating a vibrant environment for people who want to live in the heart of Calgary’s urban renaissance.
Originally a bustling hub due to its proximity to the Bow River and the Canadian Pacific Railway, the area fell into decline in the mid-20th century. By the 1980s, East Village was largely abandoned, with derelict buildings and vacant lots defining the landscape.
However, in the early 2000s, the Calgary Municipal Land Corporation (CMLC) embarked on a large-scale redevelopment project to revitalize East Village. This ambitious transformation has turned East Village into one of Calgary’s most vibrant neighborhoods, with over $2.75 billion invested in new infrastructure, residential developments, and public spaces. Today, East Village is one of Calgary’s most desirable and forward-thinking communities.
