Calgary Built Brief #16 | October 16, 2026
Listen to this Brief
Truman’s $58-million Moxy Calgary East Village began construction in mid-September, the developer announced September 29. Truman expects the project to support 370 construction jobs. The five-storey, 131-room hotel at 656 Confluence Way S.E. is expected to open in 2028, with a bar, lounge and outdoor thermal spa. Truman bought the RiverWalk site from Calgary Municipal Land Corporation in 2025; Moxy is its second hotel to enter construction in the Rivers District, following the Autograph Collection Hotel earlier this year.
Jayman Living announced groundbreaking October 5 on The Nostalgia Club, planned at more than 400,000 square feet within Nostalgia Townlet in southeast Calgary. CANA is the construction partner. The proposed facilities include an NHL-sized rink, a 25-metre pool, a 25,000-square-foot fitness space and a 380-metre indoor running track, alongside dining and business facilities. The developer targets a fall 2029 opening.
The City announced October 13 that Aecon won the Green Line’s Bow River infrastructure package, marking construction’s start on that section. Stretching from north of Lynnwood/Millican station to west of Deerfoot Trail, the package includes bridges over Ogden Road, the Bow River and Deerfoot Trail, plus a multi-use pathway alongside the river and Deerfoot crossings.
In Airdrie, Graham’s September 30 project announcement identifies another active civil package: approximately 1.4 kilometres of two-lane roadway connecting Cobblestone and Southwinds along 24th Street S.W. The general contractor says the scope includes a bridge, deep and shallow utilities, pathways and temporary access roads. Construction began in summer 2026, with completion expected in summer 2027.
The City’s October 15 update schedules the Bearspaw South Feeder Main tie-in from November 4, requiring approximately four weeks of Stage 4 outdoor water restrictions and indoor conservation. The shutdown will temporarily reduce city water distribution capacity to 500 million litres a day. After connection, disinfection, filling and water-quality testing are expected to take two to three weeks; the City still targets operation by year-end.
