The Sentinel

Overview

The Sentinel is a 1.43-acre mixed-use high-density development site located in the heart of Calgary’s inner-city Beltline district. This landmark property is positioned between two major traffic corridors on the corner of 17^th Ave SW and 14^th St SW – offering easy access to a variety of retail, restaurant and other amenities in the 17th Avenue Entertainment District.

The existing site is improved with several retail and commercial buildings and features X surface parking stalls. The existing income on site is stable and can be relied upon through any development planning process. Demolition clauses are in place for all of the existing tenancies.

Under the policy for the area, the 62,240 SF site allows for up to an 8.0 FAR, or 497,600 SF of buildable area. A variety of development configurations and designs can be realized such as dwelling units, hotel, café/restaurant, supermarket, live-work and other uses.

Current demand for housing in Calgary’s Beltline continues to demonstrate the need to bolster multi-family supply. With substantial rent growth, strong absorption rates and high interprovincial/international migration trends, densification and increased residential supply remain a top priority in the Calgary market for the foreseeable future.
