Eau Claire Market and River Run Condos demolitions
The City of Calgary took possession of Eau Claire Market and the River Run Condos in June 2024.
The buildings were immediately secured as procurement took place for a contractor to complete the demolition work, which began in January 2025 and was completed by June.

The scope of work included hazardous material abatement, demolition and removal of all above-ground structures, the below-grade parking structures, the building foundations and all vegetation and hardscaping within the project area.
Why did the demolitions take place if the land may not be required for a Green Line station?
Vacant properties can become unsafe spaces. The removal of these buildings decreased the potential for safety and security issues, while fulfilling contractual obligations.
The Council-approved 46-km vision of Green Line has not changed. This includes an elevated crossing of the Bow River with a station at 2 Avenue. The future needs of the project may include the lands which The City has already acquired.
