MIXED-USE

Keynote Urban Village

The Keynote Urban Village is a visionary development located in Calgary's Beltline District—designed to embody the concept of an "urban village." This mixed-use project integrates high-quality residential units, a Class A office tower and diverse commercial offerings, including retail spaces, a restaurant and a high-end food market. Strategically positioned between 11th and 12th Ave. S.E., the development serves as a focal point by linking the downtown core with the revitalized communities of Victoria Park and Connaught.

Keynote Urban Village plays a pivotal role in the resurgence of the Beltline District by creating a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly environment. The development features four levels of underground parking, internalized service lanes and an innovative courtyard that provides a mid-block pedestrian connection between 11th and 12th. This courtyard not only enhances pedestrian accessibility but also ensures uninterrupted active uses along the street frontages to foster a lively urban atmosphere. Keynote Urban Village enhances the public realm with wide sidewalks, tree-lined streets, and human-scale architecture, contributing to the re-population, re-activation and revitalization of Calgary's Beltline community.

Architecturally, the development combines traditional brick masonry with contemporary glass and metal forms to create a dynamic streetscape that reflects the area's historical and modern influences. The three towers— rotated 45 degrees from the street grid—are designed to maximize sunlight penetration, offer unobstructed sightlines and contribute to a striking skyline. These towers include a lower-scaled office tower, a mid-rise residential condo tower and a taller residential tower, each thoughtfully designed to enhance the overall urban experience.

Sustainability is a cornerstone of Keynote Urban Village. The project incorporates green roofing, energy-efficient glazing and low-flow fixtures, among other environmentally responsible features. These sustainable elements, combined with the development's emphasis on live-work-play harmony, make Keynote Urban Village a model of urban design excellence.
