Designing a civic plaza for an iconic Calgary Corner
[]
REMINET
Terraces and shared spaces overlook the plaza, supporting visual connection between residents and the surrounding neighbourhood while strengthening the sense of the square as an inhabited civic room.
Built form shaped by the streetThe development maintains a strong streetwall condition along 17th Avenue before transitioning to taller residential towers that frame the site and respond to surrounding neighbourhood scale.
Above, the three residential towers introduce a varied skyline presence that marks the eastern gateway to the Beltline and Mission districts.
Together, the podium, plaza, and towers establish a new urban threshold that strengthens the transition between downtown Calgary and its surrounding inner-city neighbourhoods.
Broadway on 17th demonstrates how architecture can support city-building at multiple scales — from the design of individual residential towers to the creation of new civic space that strengthens the structure of the surrounding neighbourhood.
