KPMB is the lead architect and they're also doing the expansion for the Contemporary Calgary building. Their designs tend to be simple with high quality materials, so I'm excited to see their vision. However, I'm curious of those who have seen the renderings, is the design only completed for...

A smaller T&T location similar to the one in Vancouver's Chinatown could probably work well downtown. I noticed that there are a lot of elderly Chinatown residents who go to the EV Superstore location for their groceries.

10th Avenue & 1st Street SW was the location of the second Chinatown in Calgary after it was first displaced from its original location on Stephen Ave and 2nd Street SW by the Great Calgary Fire of 1886. Chinatown was ultimately forced to move again to their current home at the base of the...
