Expansion of a Legacy

40 Million visitors per year. Superb retail mix.

Located at the crossroads of two national freeways that boast a combined traffic count of 200,000 vehicles per day, Deerfoot Meadows has become the epicenter of the Calgary and Southern Alberta retail markets. The 3.6 million sq. ft. Deerfoot Meadows is the largest, most visible retail area in the region complemented by an additional 1 million sq. ft. of big box, furniture and auto retail along its northern perimeter and surrounded on all sides by affluent households.

The comparative ease of access and convenience helped secure Deerfoot Meadows’ status as North America’s pre-eminent shopping destination.

Ultimate Visibility & Accessibility

Meadows Mile is located at the crossroads of Alberta’s busiest traffic routes; Blackfoot Trail and Heritage Drive.  With over 1 mile of exposure along Blackfoot Trail, Heritage Drive and Deerfoot Trail, Meadows Mile is an unrivalled location within the City of Calgary.

Vehicular access will occur via two signalized, all-turns intersections to the north at 79th Avenue and Heritage Drive and to the south at 85th Avenue and Blackfoot Trail.  An internal road connecting the two intersections will create efficient circulation through the site and allowing for a range of pad sizes from 0.9 to 8.0 acres.

Enhancing value for all stakeholders

Focus Equities combines macro level market analysis with micro level assessment of potential projects to identify and select development opportunities. This begins with a comprehensive fatal flaw analysis and, if the project passes muster, then a detailed effort is initiated. Projects are financed with nonrecourse or limited recourse project financing.  Focus strives to balance risk and reward in evaluating project economics. Focus looks for opportunities where it or its partners can effectively interface with government and local communities to enhance value for all stakeholders.
