T
he decision to live urban or suburban in Calgary is an oftencontested one. Do you go with the potential smaller spaces and higher rents but easier access to varied amenities of the Inner City or do you go for a home with a yard
and a garage but a longer commute? Most often, the decision lies with what is best for you and your family. For those looking to learn more about anything and everything to do with living in suburbia or choosing the downtown, this year’s Calgary Home + Design Show — running Sept. 20-23 — is featuring Sarah Daniels and Philip DuMoulin of HGTV’s Urban Suburban.

round breaking has begun on Embassy Bosa Inc.’s first tower — FUSE — in Calgary’s East Village, six months after launching. “We’re off to the races,” said Ryan Bosa, president Embassy Bosa Inc. “Calgary is a great market; after our initial launch, we had sufficient buyer interest to trigger development start and since that time have been aggressively working through out permitting processes to ensure we could break ground this fall.
