Project Details

Balboa Land Investments Inc., embarked on the development of a mixed use concept in early 2005.  In 2006 Keynote Development Corporation, a subsidiary of Balboa, took over ownership and control of the project.  The property is located between 1st Street and Macleod Trail, 11th and 12th Avenues S.E.  Designed by Gibbs Gage Architects, the development permit was approved in 2006 and construction commenced in early 2007.  The three high rise towers will be located on a 45 degree bias to the downtown street grid.  This orientation maximizes sunlight penetration and views, as well as creates a diagonal urban street well suited for pedestrian activity. Several elevated, landscaped parks will serve as gathering places for tenants, customers and residents.

Environmentally responsive, the Keynote Urban Village project plan includes numerous green areas, sustainable design concepts and materials, as well as responsible construction practices.

Future planned tenants of the project include: Sunterra Market with a new "Urban Market" concept, a pub/restaurant, and other commercial retail tenants.

The Keynote Urban Village project brings downtown quality office space and fresh inhabitable spaces, to the Victoria Crossing District bridging the Stampede Entertainment District to downtown – a place where people can live, work and play.
