Project Description:
Astra Group took possession of a 1970's warehouse in the Northeast McCall Lake Industrial Park that was in desperate need of a transformation. The warehouse was orginally built for utility purposes, was bland and had not been maintained or upgraded since the time that it was built. When Astra took possession It was our vision to optimize the space by creating several smaller bays making the best use of this warehouse and to diversify the retail potential.
In the first 3 months we divided the building which was used for one single tenant into 5 separate units which we leased out immediately.
Throughout the renovation we uncovered and adressed a number of areas that did not meet today's building codes. Once the demising walls were completed and the new tenants had taken possession we continued our upgrade to the exterior where a new metal clad facade and LED lighting was added. This, along with new tinted glass storefronts, up to date repaint and an exterior secured chain link fence transformed our building into a desirable Warehouse that our new tenants are proud to be apart of.
The goal of obtaining and upgrading these warehouses is to give them new life and give tenants a great place to conduct their business at a reasonable lease rate.

Project Description:
The VCad Calgary Project is a private college/learning institution owned by a group in Vancouver whospecialize in privatized business, technical colleges and design colleges. VCad (Visual College of Art and Design) is their flagship College that enrolls students for architectural Design, interior design, fashion design, graphic design, gaming design, and 3D modeling. A cutting-edge school for Calgary.
The construction of the school started in a vacant 6 story commercial building which once had an oil gas technical company occupying the entire space. The school now occupies half of the main floor and the entire second floor accumulating approximately 16,800 square feet. Due to the technical requirements the school required high tech projectors and screens in each of the classrooms as well as typical data wiring to support all needs of the students. Despite the challenges of retrofitting an office space into a school and learning facility The Astra Group successfully completed this project in four and a half months.
