Shaganappi Multi-Residential TOD

The community of Shaganappi is about to get 99 new homes in this stunning six-storey apartment building along Bow Trail. This transit-oriented development is steps away from the Shaganappi Point station of the Blue Line LRT, providing quick car-free access to, and incredible views of, Calgary’s downtown core.

Like its sister building in Killarney, this apartment block achieves visual interest and balcony privacy through the push/pull articulation of its pixelated facade. The two-tone corrugated metal cladding is punctuated by wood-toned accents at the recessed balconies. Light from the double-height entrance spills out onto the corner plaza through a perforated metal screen, providing safety and security for residents and visitors as they approach.

Inside, residents are provided with ample amenities, including a pet wash, car wash, social lounge, fitness room, and rooftop terrace. Underground vehicular and bicycle parking are each provided at a 1:1 ratio with the suites; combined with immediate access to transit, residents have ample mobility options.

Deviate was contracted by Gravity Architecture in early 2023 to produce the development permit and construction drawings under the design direction of Nicholas Tam. The entire process went incredibly well, with construction set to begin before the holidays!
