Despite looking the same on the outside, work is proceeding on the redevelopment of the tower at Bridgeland Place.
A year ago, interior demolition and abatement began, and involved stripping the interior back to the concrete structure at 736 MacDougall Court NE. That first big step wrapped up this past March.
In early July, Calgary Housing announced it selected Canadian company Buttcon Ltd. as construction manager. With more than 45 years of experience in construction projects across the country in a variety of institutional, commercial, and residential mid- and high-rises, Buttcon will help ensure the 17-storey tower redevelopment is on budget and on schedule.
Calgary Housing is now working on the design of the building that will include nearly 200 one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes, with full redevelopment expected to be completed by Q4 2027. Once occupied, Bridgeland Place will use the mixed-income housing model to bring housing stability to residents without requiring operating funding from governments.
In June, we met with members of the BRCA about this work, and we look forward to working with the community surrounding Bridgeland Place Tower as the design work progresses.
