In 2018, progress continues in East Village at a rapid pace. CMLC, master developer of East Village, is leading a team of developers, planners, architects and engineers who are building important and entertaining institutions and gathering places for all Calgarians, like the iconic New Central Library. They’re building new condominium homes to welcome new residents to our urban village. And they’re building hotels where friends and visitors can stay. 

The most important thing in all this? You. Your routes around construction. And most of all, your safety. We make every decision to ensure the safest possible outcome.

BE CAREFUL

Construction zones are places that have a lot going on. So be careful! Keep your eyes open and follow the routes outlined on this page.

Obey pedestrian signage and use designated crosswalks. Look for updates online or in person at the EV Sales and Experience Centre at 553 Riverfront Ave. SE. You’ll find info on project status and updates from our ambassador staff.

“NEW RETAIL”

Our new retail is as practical as it is beautiful: on the site of the residential development Arris, an urban retail centre called 5th & THIRD is underway, bringing Loblaw's City Market and Shoppers Drug Mart to EV. 

In FIRST, a residential development at 6th Ave SE, Merle Norman Cosmetics, RedBloom Salon and East Village Dry Cleaners are open with more shops coming.

Across the street at Evolution, the doors are open at Liz & Lottie Gifts, Davidson & Co Jeweller, Frilly Lilly and Mari Bakeshop.

Verve has become home to Panago, Good Earth and Barber Culture with Hart Healthy Foods and V Medi Spa coming soon.

“NEW NEIGHBOURS”

Right now, more than 3,200 people call EV home, and when it's built out in the mid-2020s, there will be 11,500 living here.

More neighbours are coming: currently under construction is HAT @ East Village - EV’s newest residential rental tower by Cidex.
