Victoria Crossing is well on its way to becoming one of the hottest and most desirable locations in Calgary. Several renovations to structures and streets, improved public safety, an overall effort to maintain cleanliness in the area, the area's proximity to downtown and other amenities, easy commuter access and lower land/lease & tax costs, have all contributed to redevelopment in the Victoria community.

Between the restoration of particularly old or historical buildings, and construction of new, modern projects, Victoria Crossing is fast becoming one of the most dynamic, exciting areas in the city. The enhancement of the area's aesthetic appeal, while preserving original architectural styles as predominantly seen in areas such as the Warehouse District (take virtual tour) and Scarth Street (take virtual tour), as well as the addition of more modern structures, such as M-Tech and Sasso (see develop), paint the picture of Calgary's new model urban community; the Soul of Calgary.

What contributes to the “soul” of this community however, is its immense potential. There are exceptional new opportunities for those businesses wishing to locate out of the downtown core or those people looking for distinctive residential options. The latest residential and commercial buildings to emerge in this community are contributing a modern vernacular to this neighbourhood’s built form; there are many new opportunities to build and there are diverse options to live, work, play and learn in a truly distinctive and urban environment.
