Anthem Properties Group Ltd. (“Anthem Properties”) and Arrowleaf Real Estate Holdings Ltd. (“Arrowleaf”) have broken ground on a new purpose-built rental community in Currie, one of southwest Calgary’s most sought‑after urban neighbourhoods. This marks the first joint venture between Anthem Properties and Arrowleaf.
Located directly adjacent to Mount Royal University and just ten minutes from downtown Calgary, the project will deliver 254 one- and two-bedroom apartments across two five‑storey buildings, providing much-needed rental housing to support the rapidly growing community. Tenant amenities will include an entertainment lounge, coworking space and study bar, fitness studio, community garden, bike tune‑up station, dog wash, 266 visitor and resident parking stalls, including 37 equipped with Electrical Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) and EV-capable infrastructure, and 182 bicycle stalls.
“The dynamic Currie district is one of Calgary’s most exciting neighbourhoods, and demand for well‑located rental housing remains strong. We’re thrilled to be partnering with the Arrowleaf team, who share our vision of bringing high-quality homes to renters in this vibrant part of the city,” said Joe O’Brien, Senior Director, Asset Management and Investment, Anthem Properties.
A groundbreaking was hosted on Wednesday, August 27 with executives from both Anthem Properties and Arrowleaf in attendance. Excavation is now underway, and completion is targeted for Spring 2027.
