CALGARY FARMERS MARKET, ANCHOR TENANT PROPOSAL (CALGARY CANADA)

The new CFM will create an anchor, and focus a catalyst for High  Street and  the  Currie Barracks community. It will continue to serve  the broad Calgarian market, but also over time it will become the grocery supply centre for the Currie community.  Experience   throughout the world, indicates the very strong attraction that Farmers and Public Markets have for the public.  Grocery stores are the core element of a  cohesive   neighbourhood   and   markets perform this function  far better  than the traditional  corporate   grocery stores. Our   research indicates that  the  presence of the Farmer’s Market, will attract other  commercial  outlets to raise the demand (and price) for residential units, and also give the Currie Barracks community an immediate identity in the eyes and hearts of Calgarians.
