shopping & dining

We are what we eat... and what we shop for. In East Village we will be fashionable, crafty, adventurous, arty, ethnic and overwhelmed with choice.

East Village streets will be narrow and bustling where shops are one-of-a kind; bigger, urban-format stores will offer variety on larger thoroughfares. Restaurants will be of every stripe, from a steakhouse to a food cart by the National Music Centre or a bistro in EVE Block. Some destinations, like the Simmons Building, will offer a variety of choices under one roof. Everywhere, hospitality is a hallmark, as EV merchants welcome Calgarians back to the city’s birthplace. With Embassy Bosa and FRAM+ Slokker alone contributing some 140,000 sq. ft. of commercial space, East Village will offer some of the city’s choicest places to shop – and give residents what they need right on their doorstep.

The EVE Block

The EVE (East Village Experience) Block will house the village movie theatre, event space, street-level stores and several stories of residences. It will really be the heart of the village, a landmark with a glass-covered central space that will frame The Riff walkway and draw visitors and locals alike, winter and summer.
