Heritage Place, 820 5 Avenue SW, Calgary

Downtown

Downtown Calgary is the main commercial and business core of the city, but also offers many residential buildings. The area boundary to the north is defined by the Bow River and to the south by the CPR rail tracks. 14th Street SW forms the western boundary whilst the Elbow River forms the boundary to the east. The neighbourhood was established in 1875 and has a population of over 18,000. Within the downtown, the area can be further divided by sub-neighbourhoods including Eau Claire, Chinatown, East Village, West End and the Central Business District. 

Shopping, dining and entertainment are in abundance within the downtown area, including the CORE shopping centre. It is also home to many of Western Canada’s tallest buildings, including Calgary’s tallest, Brookfield Place East which stands 247m (810 ft) tall. It is also home to the famous Calgary Tower. The +15 elevated and enclosed 18 km walkway system connects many of the downtown buildings, making it easy to get around when the weather is poor. There is also quick and easy access to the Bow River, Prince’s Island Park and the Bow River Pathway.
