Celebrating a Century of Change…

Love this image from 100yrs ago shot on Tompkins Park and looking directly at the land where our ENZO project is currently being developed.

We mark today as the completion of our concrete podium, and the transition into the residential development of the 5 stories above.

Honored to create a project that will be looked back on 100 years from today.

“The bar at spans the entire length of the restaurant and it changes throughout its length to respond to the area of the room it's serving. We think the best seat in the house is the chefs table at the end of the bar with a view into the kitchen. Have you sat there yet??

Hmmmmmmmm…..

Introducing Enzo.

This will be Arlington Street Investments 5th project within our 17th Ave SW Urban Masterplan.

Enzo will be located between the high-profile blocks of 7th and 8th ST SW. It could be argued that it is the most important project to be developed on to date. The development is oriented directly across from Tompkins Park and as such will enjoy stunning, unencumbered views north towards Calgary’s Downtown skyline.

We have approached this project with a great deal of integrity as it relates to all aspects of its orientation not just geographically, but as or maybe more important, historically. The development will be home to 90 residents and an additional 10,000 SF of curated retail offerings.

Not withstanding the fact that we have announced the start construction for Spring 2023 we have yet begun actively marketing the project. Of note and without any promotion we have already received interest from over 60,000 SF of retail users. It’s an important fact given that 2 years ago during the pandemic the overwhelming commentary was around “The death of retail on 17ave SW.” This should always remind us that it’s never the “moment in time that has relevance, but instead the span of time that wins the day and the future.” Our entire team are very excited about the launch of this project and how it will significantly enhance this important destination on 17 Ave sw.

Special thanks go out to our planning team as well as our exceptional architects at

On September 1, and after 3 years of work Arlington Street Investments received unanimous ascendance of our application for our Fishman's development site, located at 17th Ave SW and 5 ST, by the Calgary Planning Commission in a 7:0 vote.

On October 4, our land use application was unanimously approved at a public hearing by city council.
Our planning team, led by Ralph Bennetsen, who worked diligently with a very engaged Community Association, after all the hard work and coordination The Community Association complimented our Team and stated that we had responded to all their perspectives and concerns with full integrity.

On behalf of ASI, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Brown and Associates Planning Group specifically Kathy Oberg, Vern Hart, and Bridget Naud, who did a masterful job moving through this process and achieving our stated goal. I would also like to thank Joshua de Jong, the File Manager at the who was exceptionally professional with his care and attention to our file.

Lastly, the Fishman’s site is a legacy asset and as such and in all cases our team operated with the care and concern one ought to given the history and very personal nature of this project. On that note, we would like to thank Sheldon Fishman, of Fishman’s Personal Care Cleaners, who has been great to work with and a wonderful steward of his family’s legacy. We look forward to announcing the launch and start of construction of this very important project in the 2023.
