August 21, 2025

(Calgary, AB – August 20, 2025) – Gracorp and Graham proudly celebrated the construction completion and grand opening of Encore, the newest residential community in Calgary’s vibrant University District! The event marked a major milestone, bringing together community members, partners and leaders to toast the beginning of something truly special. 

Encore, a 303-unit, 440-bed rental development, comprises an 8-storey building and a 16-storey tower with two and a half levels of secure underground parking. Constructed by Graham, Encore has been built to Green Gold standards and is designed to exceed the current National Energy Code by more than 25%, which will deliver significant reductions in energy use and emissions. 

In partnership with Harrison Street, Gracorp has now developed nearly 1,000 residential units and 74,000 square feet of commercial and retail space in University District, either completed or currently under construction.  

This is Graham’s fifth project in Calgary’s University District. 

“Encore represents the best of what we aim to deliver—high-quality housing in premiere neighbourhoods like University District that meets the needs of today’s renters,” said Trevor Dickie, Vice President, Real Estate Alberta at Gracorp. “Our partnership with Harrison Street and the construction expertise of Graham have been key to bringing this project to life. This is Graham Group’s fifth project in University District, and we’re proud to continue contributing to one of Calgary’s most vibrant communities.”
