Inglewood
Inglewood is a vibrant, eclectic and ever-evolving arts and culture-filled district with more than two hundred shops, cafes, restaurants and live music venues, many located in Calgary’s historic buildings.
Inglewood has been recognized by international, national and local media as a fantastic Calgary neighbourhood. It is proud, lively, diverse and inclusive and at its essence- the ideal example of a livable community.
To discover more about Inglewood, read more below.
Inglewood has a population of 3,564 living in 2,241 dwellings. Residents in this community have a median household income of $47,040 in 2000, and there were 20.8% low income residents living in the neighbourhood.
Nearly half of Inglewood businesses are either staffed by, and/or owned by residents of Inglewood. This means that many of those who live in the area, also work in the area; businesses and residents are closely intertwined. Calgary is an ever expanding city, but Inglewood - a downtown neighbourhood - has retained a sense of living in a village. Inglewood is a ten minute bicycle ride to the centre of Calgary. Cycling, walking and transit routes have extensive networks and are well used. Crime is low, vandalism is almost non -existent. Inglewood retains a diverse population, with more affordable housing units than any other Calgary neighbourhood, and a strong belief in all being welcome.
Inglewood has a strong environmental leaning, with many backyard chickens and bee hives in gardens. It is not unheard of to be cycling down a quiet street in Inglewood and see a chicken cross the road! It also has over six substantial city parks and a linear river pathway system.
Inglewood is also home to multiple events and festivals throughout the year. These include: Sunfest (attracts 30,00 people in one day), The Calgary Fringe Festival, The Bleak Mid-Winter Film Festival, Calgary Fringe Festival, Night Markets, Girls Night Out, Christmas In Inglewood, the Beakerhead science festival and Gallery Calorie.
The business area is also at the heart of a dynamic residential community. The Inglewood Community Association (ICA) represents the residential community and works closely with the Inglewood business area on everything from broad city policy to local initiatives, such as building playgrounds, the ICA rink, and multiple events.
Inglewood has been chalk full of interesting sights, one-of-a-kind destinations and family-friendly attractions since its historical inception back in 1875. While the community is home to Fort Calgary, the Calgary Zoo, Sam Livingston Fish Hatchery, the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary and the newly-completed Harvie Passage aquatic park on the Bow River, there is also plenty of exciting events and attractions to be found within the walls of more than 100 Inglewood-based shops and restaurants. Without a doubt, there is never a shortage of fantastic things to do in Calgary’s favourite inner-city neighbourhood.
From antique stores to clothing boutiques, contemporary furniture shops to cutting-edge art galleries, one stroll down 9 Ave. S.E. and you will soon see that the shopping possibilities are truly endless in Inglewood. A far cry from a trip to the mall, Inglewood is home to hundreds of thousands of great buys, unique gift ideas, one-of-a-kind treasures and the best local shopping experience in the city!

Property Details
Description
This listing includes 1336 and 1340 - 9 Avenue SE. Iconic Inglewood property, back on the market with a new owner driving the sale process with laser focus at a new lower offering price. This corner property offers a total of 16,236 sq ft of land providing a redevelopment opportunity right at center ice in the heart of Inglewood. As an alternative, because the properties are under two titles, a new owner could consider redevelopment opportunities on the corner with an eye to a refurbishment of the Carson block property. The Carson Block was built in 1912 and holds the distinction of being the first reinforced, poured concrete building in western Canada. Although not officially a historic site, the Carson Block could certainly be considered as a Calgary gem worth preserving. The building offers 7 apartment units that have been very well maintained with a waiting list of potential tenants. The 3,396 sq ft main floor commercial space is currently occupied by the Dirty Duck Pub and offers an exceptional opportunity for a new operator or division into beautiful retail space. 14 ft ceilings with a concrete floor dividing the first and second floor provides excellent sound barrier between the retail and residential spaces. There is an additional 960 sq ft retail space located on the main floor with 9th Avenue storefront that would be an excellent small business retail option or as an addition into the overall main floor pub space. The lower-level space offers 4,300 sq ft of usable lease space. The space is open and ideal for a variety of businesses. In the past it has been a dog salon, weed dispensary and I.T. workspace and is currently occupied by an artists studio. There are 9 parking stalls at the rear of the Carson Block building. The vacant land at the rear of the corner retail could easily be converted to a pay parking lot that would be welcomed by neighboring businesses. Current income on the property is low when compared to area market rents however internal analysis would place the current Cap rate for the Carson Block at approx. 5.25%. The residual corner property is currently leased on a month-to-month basis and offers an additional $66,000 per year of income to supplement cash flow during a redevelopment approval process or renovation. This property could easily be refurbished and adapted to the neighborhood to provide excellent cashflow. The two tenants in the property would be very happy to sign onto a long term lease at market rates. A facelift to the exterior would make all the difference. In order to maintain the quiet enjoyment of the property for current tenant’s thorough tours of the property will only be provided after conditional offers are accepted, common area tours can be provided with reasonable notice. Please note, the asking price for this property is based on an analysis of the net cash flow of the property at 1336 with a capitalization of approx.5.5%. The property at 1340 is considered as land value and a prime development site.
