The River
Ledcor Properties' 38-residence Mission landmark, paired across 135 + 137 26 Avenue SW.
The River is a 15-story, 38-residence luxury condominium completed by Ledcor Properties in 2015. Set in Mission, the building shares a single architectural identity across two interconnected residential addresses (135 + 137 26 Avenue SW) — one of the most established premium condo addresses south of the river.
The Mission location places residents steps from the Elbow River pathway, the Stampede grounds, and 4th Street SW's restaurant strip — a rare combination of urban access and natural amenity in the inner city.
Thirty-eight residences across fifteen stories, ranging from one-bedroom apartments through expansive penthouses. Each unit is laid out to maximize space and natural light, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing panoramic Bow River and downtown Calgary views.
Interiors are finished with premium materials — hardwood flooring, granite countertops, custom cabinetry — and signature 2-sided fireplaces. Kitchens carry top-of-the-line appliances; spa-style bathrooms feature deep soaker tubs, rain showers, and designer fixtures. In-suite laundry, ample storage, and climate control are standard.
A sleek, contemporary facade in high-quality materials, designed to blend with Mission's premium-residential character. The two addresses (135 and 137 26 Avenue SW) share a single shared parcel and architectural treatment, paired as one building under one identity.

Living at The River
Prime Location & Transit Access
Mission is one of Calgary's most established inner-city neighbourhoods — a tree-lined grid south of the Elbow River, walkable to downtown but quiet enough to feel residential. The River sits a block off 4th Street SW, putting the building's residents within a five-minute walk of the river pathway, Lindsay Park, and the MNP Community & Sport Centre.
Commuter access is exceptional: a four-minute drive to the downtown core via Macleod Trail, direct bike-lane access along 12 Avenue, and the 39 Avenue and Erlton/Stampede LRT stations each within a fifteen-minute walk. The Stampede grounds and Saddledome are six blocks east, making event access frictionless.
Dining & Entertainment Nearby
Mission and the adjacent 4th Street SW restaurant row deliver one of the strongest dining clusters in the city. Within a five-minute walk: Anju (Korean-influenced fine dining), Una Pizza + Wine, Without Papers Pizza, Cassis Bistro, and Boogie's Burgers. Coffee runs to OEB Breakfast Co., Phil & Sebastian, and Analog Coffee.
Evenings extend to Proof, Last Best Brewing, and the Hop in Brew Pub for craft cocktails and beer. The Mission BIA (Business Improvement Area) maintains the strip with consistent year-round programming, including Lilac Festival each spring.
Shopping & Daily Essentials
Day-to-day shopping is anchored by Safeway on 4th Street SW and a Sunterra Market two blocks away — both within easy walking distance. Specialty retailers along 4th include Britannia Wine Merchants, BARK YYC for pet supplies, and a cluster of independent boutiques. Chinook Centre, Calgary's largest mall, is a six-minute drive south on Macleod Trail.
Community & Culture
Mission has a strong sense of community character — a mix of multi-generational families, young professionals, and downsizing executives drawn by the walkability and the river-pathway lifestyle. The Calgary Stampede and the Saddledome bring a steady event calendar; the Mission Bridge and Elbow River pathway connect to Stanley Park, the Repsol Sport Centre, and the broader downtown bike-pathway network.
Cultural anchors include the Lougheed House (a National Historic Site) on 13 Avenue SW and the riverside Talisman Centre. Mission's mature elm canopy and tightly-woven street grid make it one of the most photographed inner-city neighbourhoods in Calgary.
Schools & Education
Public catchment is Western Canada High School (one of Calgary's top-ranked public secondaries) and Earl Grey School for K–6. Catholic options include St. Monica Elementary and St. Mary's High School. Mount Royal University is a fifteen-minute drive west; SAIT and the University of Calgary are accessible by LRT in under thirty minutes.
