Inglewood Crown Surplus Site

Overview

The Crown Surplus site offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire a mixed-use redevelopment property in Calgary’s vibrant Inglewood neighbourhood. This 40,917 SF (0.94 acre) transit-oriented site offers a prominent location with frontage on both 11 Street SE and 10 Avenue SE, steps from a future LRT Green Line station.

The property offers developers potential for either woodframe or concrete development.

The City Planning Commission unanimously approved the motion to rezone the site to MU2 allowing up to 6.3 FAR with heights up to 38 m (124.6 feet).  It is scheduled to go to City council for approval on July 16, 2024. The proposed concept plan envisions a buildable area of 257,777 SF within two 10 and 11 storey towers above ground floor retail / commercial. As an alternative, internal massing for a 6-storey project supports an estimated 134,837 SF (3.30 FAR) of buildable area.

Documentation submitted in support of rezoning includes traffic and shadow studies along with phase I and II environmental reports, with no material concerns raised.

Location

The site is conveniently located in historic Inglewood, one of Calgary’s most sought after and vibrant communities. Inglewood is home to a lively shopping and arts district; the heart of Calgary’s Music Mile with its many live entertainment venues, restaurants and breweries; and was once named Canada’s Greatest Neighbourhood by the Canadian Institute of Planners. Inglewood is Calgary’s oldest neighbourhood, with close proximity to downtown Calgary and abundant recreational amenities.

The site is located at the southwest corner of 11 Street SE and 10 Avenue SE, one block south of 9 Avenue SE, the main thoroughfare and commercial corridor, and one block north of the future Ramsay-Inglewood Green Line LRT Station. As part of the new LRT rapid transit line, the City of Calgary’s Ramsay-Inglewood Station Area Improvements project will provide public realm improvements, including the streets adjacent to this site, along with parks and pathways throughout the neighbourhoods of Inglewood and Ramsay.
