Our History

CMLC was created in 2007 to revitalize the Rivers District—504 acres on downtown Calgary’s east end.

Our transformation of the city’s urban landscape began with East Village—now among the city’s most sought-after neighbourhoods. In 2017, we expanded our focus to include neighbouring east Victoria Park, now undergoing a dramatic transformation into The C+E—Calgary’s Culture + Entertainment District. In 2025, we broadened our boundaries to bring the vision and talent that’s transforming the Rivers District to other communities in Calgary through Transit-Oriented Community development in support of the City’s Housing Strategy.
