Looks pretty cool.
Anyone have an area map?

Found it.
The Embassy Bosa parcel looks large. Not as much river frontage as I thought. Would be nice to see a layout of how it will go up. Likely the open area will be to the East? As 5th street might get quite busy (hopefully), there's the train and 5th ave bridges there.
Hopefully the building does well - that's a huge start for the area. Looks to be about 20% of the EV.
Here's a blurb from the City of Calgary website about the developer
Quote:
In October 2010, CMLC celebrated the announcement of the first major land development deal in East Village in more than a decade. Embassy Bosa Inc. will deliver approximately $300 million of mixed-use, multi-family residential development to the community. That equates to roughly 700,000 square feet of new residential and retail product over five years, including 600 new residential units.
Embassy Bosa Inc. is headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia. The developer’s international project expertise and creativity are unparalleled with mid-rise, mixed-use communities. The infusion of residents in Embassy Bosa neighbourhoods typically leads to a strong immigration of retail stores, restaurants and services to serve the needs of families and to benefit from the communities’ robust economic climates.
Pre-sales for the Embassy Bosa East Village project will begin in March 2012, with initial residential occupancies by late 2013. For more information about Embassy Bosa's first residential project, please visit www.evexperience.com
