City's evolving arts scene a good news story for real estate
Recent high-profile additions to Calgary's cultural scene stand to benefit the city's real estate market in a big way, say experts.
New facilities such as Studio Bell's National Music Centre and the Calgary Film Centre will go a long way toward helping the city shake off its stodgy Cowtown image, said Tom Keenan, a professor at the University of Calgary's Faculty of Environmental Design.
"Interesting people, things to do, cultural amenities like the opera – these all play a role in making a city appealing to live in," he said.

Driving diversity
Film centre represents just one example of efforts to transform local economy, say officials
Film production may be the world's glamour industry, but in Calgary it is shooting to become a new driver of Alberta's diversified economy.
Last week, the $28.2-million Calgary Film Centre opened in a Calgary southeast industrial park, about 20 minutes from downtown. The new facility includes three new sound stages spread across a total of 50,000 square feet and three multi-purpose workshop spaces offering an additional 15,000 square feet.
Calgary Economic Development president and CEO Mary Moran said the film and television industry is just one sector being focused on in attempt to diversify the local economy. CED predicts it could provide an annual $500-million injection into the economy in as little as five years, compared to its $175-million share today.

Lights, camera, action
New film centre coming to southeast Calgary
After much delay, Calgary's burgeoning film industry is about to get a major boost.
Approved earlier this year but with roots dating back to 2009, the city's first major film studio broke ground late last week in a high-profile ceremony ironically set within an unassuming industrial suburb at 5750 76th Ave. S.E.
Spread out over more than three hectares of land, the $23-million facility will include 50,000 square feet of purpose-built sound stages, 20,000 square feet or warehouse space and 15,000 square feet of space for office and storage.
