Calgary looks to prezoning to open up old shopping malls to housing

As part of a rezoning application to build more than 1,000 new dwellings over the course of a decade in Glenmore Landing, a community shopping centre in Calgary’s southwest, RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust, the property’s owner and developer, spent close to a year engaging neighbours to incorporate their feedback into a cohesive vision for the 10-acre site.

Built in 1980, the Glenmore Landing Shopping Centre not only sits adjacent to a bus rapid transit route and green open spaces that surround the Glenmore reservoir, it’s also located within a 20-minute walk from two elementary schools and one high school.
