Bridgeland Hill
Bridgeland Hill sits at 510 Edmonton Trail NE, on the western edge of Bridgeland where Edmonton Trail runs up from Memorial Drive. It is a four-storey wood-frame building of roughly 93,000 square feet over a concrete parkade. Rositch Hemphill Architects drew it and Ventana Construction built it for GableCraft Homes. Ventana dates the finished building to 2016. The City issued the building permit in November 2014, and GableCraft ran a temporary sales centre on the site through 2016.
Residents share a fitness centre and a landscaped courtyard with a patio and a barbecue area. The parkade runs two levels underground, heated, with titled stalls and visitor stalls beside them. Bicycle storage and assigned storage lockers are inside.
The trail the address is named for
Edmonton Trail draws the western boundary of Bridgeland, and the name records the overland route north out of Calgary. Riverside grew beside the Langevin Bridge on that trail and incorporated in 1903. Bridgeland grew beside Riverside. The two were absorbed into one community, and the old grid is what a four-storey building on Edmonton Trail now sits inside.
What is around it
Bridgeland and Memorial station opened on the Blue Line in 1985, in the median of Memorial Drive NE. Murdoch Park is east, on the ground the Calgary General Hospital held until it came down in a controlled implosion on the morning of October 4 1998, and bricks from the hospital are built into a wall inside the park. Tom Campbell's Hill rises above the community to the north. Memorial Drive and the Bow River close the south, and downtown is one bridge away.
