CMLC, the master developer of East Village, has begun asking potential lessees of the handsome hundred-year-old building for Expressions of Interest - ideas of how The Simmons Building could become a great public space for Calgarians. "The Simmons Building could be many things," says CMLC's Susan Veres, senior manager of marketing and communications. "We've often looked around this space wondering if it should one day be a pub, a great restaurant, or something we haven't even thought of.

The walls of the Seafood Market and the King Eddy Hotel both sport the work of one of western Canada’s leading visual artists, David Brunning, aka ‘The Kid Belo’.

CMLC first commissioned Calgary local Brunning to paint his largest mural to date on the east and south exteriors of the Seafood Market. Brunning took his inspiration from the East Village tagline, ‘Calgary’s newest, oldest, coolest, warmest neighbourhood.’
