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.
