Bridgeland Place Redevelopment

Bridgeland Redevelopment Rendering

The Bridgeland Place project at 736 McDougall Court N.E., managed by Calgary Housing, represents a transformative initiative aimed at inclusive urban redevelopment and community revitalization.

Located in the vibrant Bridgeland Riverside neighbourhood, this project aims to transform an aging 1971 housing infrastructure into modern, affordable dwellings that foster a sense of belonging and opportunity for residents.

This redevelopment will introduce approximately 195 modern, affordable housing units, with a mix of unit sizes to accommodate the diverse needs of housing in Calgary. The design will incorporate strategies from innovative energy-efficient design features to accessible amenities and services to contribute to long-term affordability and a better quality of life for residents.

Following over 50 years of service, the building was closed in early 2023 to prepare for a comprehensive redevelopment. Interior demolition is slated to commence in August 2024, followed closely by the redesign phase.

As plans evolve, the Bridgeland community will be actively engaged, ensuring that the redevelopment not only meets the needs of future residents but also contributes to the overall resilience and vibrancy of the neighborhood. This project is not just about constructing a building; it’s about nurturing a sense of belonging and dignity, empowering individuals and families to thrive and contribute to the social fabric of their community.

Development Updates

July 2024

Interior demolition of the tower is beginning in July 2024, and will last about a year. The exterior of the building will remain intact while this work is carried out. The entire inside of the building is being stripped down to the concrete, for a complete redevelopment of the tower. 

There will be some construction vehicle traffic through the neighborhood as vehicles exit and enter the site. Calgary Housing is committed to following City Bylaws and all noise will be kept to sociable hours.
