Project Description

This 52-unit, five-storey, mixed-use building is located in the heart of 17th Ave, Calgary. The wood frame building contains 1- and 2-bedroom suites with spacious living areas. This project, although complex in nature, can definitely be considered a success — We completed this project with the minimum disruptions at the busiest location in Calgary while facing a multitude of challenges and delays: supplier delivery issues, worker absenteeism, and inefficiencies due to the COVID-19 restrictions and lockdowns.
