Lucid Block: An Architectural Landmark for NE Calgary.

The Vision.

Calgary isn’t known for remarkable architecture, especially in the NE where office centres, industrial buildings, box stores and subdivisions dominate the landscape. And yet, it is the first impression we make on business executives and tourists that fly into our City. There is a HUGE opportunity to represent and introduce our City in NE Calgary.

Lucid + Calgary Commercial = Change.

When Lucid entered the lucrative Calgary Commercial market they immediately identified the opportunity to construct an iconic landmark that would excite Calgarians and invigorate existing businesses located in the Barlow Trail corridor. More than another office centre or chain restaurant, the intent of Lucid Block is to create ‘a space of social significance,’ a place that Calgarians are proud to call home.

Sustainable, Timeless & Forward-Thinking.

The architectural design of Lucid Block is cognizant of Calgary’s place and time: sleek and dynamic with flowing layers of visual interests indicative of a multicultural society in a boom and bust City. And like Calgarians, the building comes alive at night with depths of coloured lighting that play off the façade. View rendering.

The Site.

The Lucid Block is a land redevelopment opportunity in the exciting commercial Barlow Trail corridor. The site consists of approximately 1.5 acres, with an existing 6,137 square foot restaurant building.

No Re-Zoning Application Required.

Under the City of Calgary’s new Land-use Bylaw, the site is zoned C-COR3, with an FAR (Floor Area Ratio) of 1, and a height restriction of 12 metres.

What does this mean to Lucid and our investors? It takes away the guesswork of re-zoning. Unlike most land development opportunities, the land is currently zoned to allow for Lucid’s re-development plan and does not rely on a long, expensive or risky re-zoning application. Lucid will move directly to a Development Permit application!

The Details.

Utilizing the current zoning for the site, Lucid Block is a 3-Storey, 27,000+/- Square Foot office building immediately adjacent to an existing restaurant building. Concurrently, the restaurant facility will undergo a dramatic renovation and re-branding to create an exciting new High-End Casual dining concept, creating immediate interim cash flow for property investors while the office building is undergoing construction.
