Starbucks Rendering | Meadows Mile Professional Centre

You may have noticed in a recent post on the Meadows Mile Professional Building, or perhaps on our new website, that one of our many selling features is the inclusion of an on-site Starbucks. We're thrilled to have Starbucks as a confirmed anchor tenant for Lot 1 on Meadows Mile. We've been working with our designer Andrew Martschenko, of Parataxis, and Jaydean Boldt, of Focus Equities, to design a building that pairs nicely with our Professional Building. Our most current rendering of the Starbucks should give you an idea of the direction we're going in.

The building features the same vertical composition and Edwardian Classical nods, while still maintaining the sleek modern qualities of a contemporary building, and enough glass to show off the stunning views of the site. All that paired with the iconic Starbucks branding, and we've got ourselves a solid on-site cafe (complete with drive-through window on the far side). Professional Centre tenants, as well as there clientele, will appreciate having a recognizable and convenient vendor on the lot.

3D Rendering Animation Release | Meadows Mile Professional Centre

Take a digital tour of our upcoming development, the Meadows Mile Professional Centre. 

Thanks to A.I.K.Visual Concepts for animating Andrew Martschenko's designs, we can now get a better idea of what our development will look like. 

This animation cycles from a sketch, to a rendering, and finally into a photo-realistic rendering. Take a look! Seeing what our development will look like when it's built, before we've even broken ground, is very exciting.

Official Logo Release | Meadows Mile Professional Centre

The official Meadows Mile Professional Centre logo is complete! We worked with Jeff Weidenhamer from Digital Avatar graphic design solutions to create a logo that would communicate the function of the building as well as the architecture.

Here it is! In our previous blog post we put a lot of emphasis on highlighting the mast and cable detailing. You'll see that Jeff took this to heart, and incorporated the cable element in both the shape of the "M"s as well as the graphic's details on the right-hand side. He also payed homage to the cross-beam details of the building. Notice how closely the logo represent the Southwest elevation rendering.

Southwest Elevation

The close resemblance was exactly what we wanted. We hope that people will recognize the building from the logo and vice versa. As per the function, the logo provides the "professional" element in the clean, bold, lines and attention to detail. There are no frivolous elements or airy qualities -- The logo is solid, grounded and deliberate.


We're very pleased with Jeff's work, and will be finalizing building renderings which include the logo in the days to come. Next, we'll be working with A1 Signs to create a sign to place onsite 85th Ave & Blackfoot Trail SE.

Logo in the Works | Meadows Mile Professional Centre

Now that we have an idea what our Professional Building is going to look like, we're getting a head start on branding! We've recruited the talents of Digital Avatar graphic design solutions to help us in this endeavor, and Jeff Weidenhamer has been a great asset to the team. Jeff also designed our CDC Group logo:

We want the Meadows Mile Professional Centre logo to represent what this development is going to function as: A multipurpose professional centre -- both Medical and Business -- adjacent to Deerfoot Meadows. We also want the logo to communicate the appearance of the building: The building will have contemporary architecture and will be located on a high profile site, with stunning vistas, and visual exposure to all elevations from great distances.

Pictured here we have a simplified rendering of the South Elevation. A part of Andrew Martschenko's design that is so unique is this mast and cable detailing he's incorporated throughout. The mast and cable element will be an identifier of the Meadows Mile Professional Centre. 



Here we have the North Elevation. See that all elevations maintain the mast and cable detailing. We hope to pay homage to this architectural detail in our logo design

What will the logo look like? We have seen some preliminary designs, but the final design is still a mystery. We hope to be unveiling the official logo next week.

Additional Renderings Release | Meadows Mile Professional Centre

We're getting closer to a final rendering!

Andrew Martschenko, our designer, has been hard at work getting these new colour renderings to us. We can now share a few of them with you; a "teaser", if you will.

The first photo shows the initial floor plan of the first floor. The second photo shows the West facing entrance. The third, the Northeast corner of the building.

Now that we have colour renderings, we can share a few of our material ideas. We've chosen brick as our primary material: A throwback to the brick buildings of the early 1900's (Think the Old Y.W.C.A [1909] or the North-West Travellers Building [1912]). Also, notice the black metal beam detailing. This gives it the industrial, contemporary edge. The high volume of glass will bring in tons of natural light on all floors, as well as reveal spectacular 
views of the surrounding vistas. 

Our architect, David Lachapelle, will be working with these design renderings over the next few days to pull together a set of development permit drawings. Soon, we'll have all the information we need to move forward with building permits!

Preliminary Renderings Release | Meadows Mile Professional Centre

We're excited to unveil our preliminary architectural renderings of the Meadows Mile Professional Centre with you today. The Professional Centre is a commercial property that will host Medical and Business Professionals. Here are the sketches of the development that we can share with you at this time:

Preliminary Renderings of the Meadows Mile Professional Centre

This week we've invited Andrew Martschenko from Toronto to join our team as Architectural Designer. David Lachapelle (DLA Architecture) and Jaydean Boldt (Focus Equities) have been hard at work these past weeks, collaborating with our team to draw up renderings of the upcoming Professional Centre. Andrew joined us Monday and is throwing some stunning design inspiration into the mix. 

Above we have the West Facing Elevation rendering, including the main entrance with a cantilevered canopy and rooftop pillar detailing. To the right we have the South Facing Elevation. These designs marry the vertical composition of the historical sandstone buildings you can find in Calgary's downtown core, with warehouse-inspired glazing and modern steel detailing. 

The CDC Team is thrilled with Andrew's work, and we look forward to sharing further developments on the project as they come in the next weeks. 

The development will be located at 85th ave SE and Blackfoot trail, across from Deerfoot Meadows. We invite to email any questions or feedback you may have on this upcoming development to info@cdccalgary.com. Please also feel free to visit our website to learn more about Cochrane Developments Corporation.
