The Masterplan Vision for East Village is Broadway Malyan's first Canadian project, covering 55 hectares of city centre land in the western province of Alberta. The Vision proposes a sustainable urban living community for up to 12,000 new residents, with a focus on the provision of new arts and cultural facilities.
Broadway Malyan's appointment followed a search for masterplanners by Calgary Municipal Land Corporation (CMLC), a company formed in 2007 with a remit to regenerate brownfield land in the City of Calgary. Broadway Malyan was one of four shortlisted practices invited to submit proposals and was subsequently appointed as CMLC's Masterplanning Advisor on winning the competition.
Located in downtown Calgary where the Bow and Elbow Rivers meet, East Village lies adjacent to historic Fort Calgary at the edge of a thriving central business district. A sensitive strategy was created for East Village incorporating existing buildings including those of historical merit, to create a mixed-use contemporary scheme for a sustainable urban community.
