McIvor Boulevard is a multi-phased development consisting of Multifamily buildings that are directly
adjacent to its first phase of commercial spaces. The development encompasses three visually distinct
multifamily buildings, totaling 447 units and three additional buildings for a total of nine commercial
units. The multifamily development offers a variety of diverse unit types and ensures to create a
cohesive visual language while simultaneously preserving a unique character for each building – in
particular, utilizing various cladding patterns and scale to alter the edge conditions to denote different
facades and clear way finding. for a sense of vibrancy. McIvor Blvd is strategically positioned 2.5 km
from the future Shepard Green Line station and residents are provided with ample bicycle parking for
catering to convenient and sustainable commuting options to foster a community in tune with modern
lifestyles.

Embracing a scale-sensitive approach, the mass of each building is deliberately stepped backed and
reduced at the fourth floor at the south property line to ensure a gradual transition along the
neighbouring development and to also serve as point of visual interest for the community. In addition to
the stepped backed upper floors, courtyards and open spaces are carved into the buildings to reduce
overall massing and to create at-grade spaces which are accessible for all visitors and residents.
Intentional landscaping surrounds the development, creating planting areas, pathways, benches and
green spaces to be used as connection hubs for fostering community interactions.

With a keen focus on community dynamics, McIvor Blvd Multifamily acts as both buffer and connector,
withs its visual appeal and connection to the adjacent commercial spaces. Vibrant courtyards, urban
interfaces, and landscaped berms contribute to a rich amenity offering, enhancing the overall living
experience. This development not only adheres to City of Calgary policies and the land use bylaw but
also champions resilience through high-quality materials and diverse unit types, catering to the evolving
needs of the community and its residents.
