Community pushes back against new seniors complex

Riverwalk, a new seniors complex, is a 12-storey building that’s proposed to replace the existing four-storey one in Cliff Bungalow-Mission.

A plan to redevelop a parcel of land in southwest Calgary and add a brand new condo building is being met with opposition from area residents.

There is a proposal before council to build a new 12-storey building in the community of Cliff Bungalow called Riverwalk.

The 141-unit development, to be built at 5 Street and 25 Avenue S.W., is supposed to replace a low-rise apartment complex across the street.

However, the proposal has already been met with considerable opposition from a group of concerned residents who don’t want to see such a large building placed in their community and zoning doesn’t even allow for such a project either.
