At the Heart of Kensington: The Kenten Meets One of Calgary’s Best Neighbourhoods.

At the Heart of Kensington: The Kenten Meets One of Calgary’s Best Neighbourhoods.

Avenue Living has once again highlighted Kensington as one of Calgary’s Best Neighbourhoods of 2025. Much of that acclaim comes from its perfect blend of walkability, culture, greenspace, and local charm. Now, imagine living where that vibrancy meets luxury — that’s The Kenten.

Kensington: Why It Stands Out

A walkable, art-filled core: Heritage brick storefronts, murals, boutique galleries, and independent bookstores like Pages and Sunnyside Art Supplies give Kensington a distinctly urban‑village vibe.

Café culture central: From iconic Higher Ground to artisanal Aggüdo and long-time favourites like The Roasterie, Kensington boasts a coffee scene built on decades of true community.

Lifestyle at your doorstep: With over 250 small shops and eateries, outstanding pubs like Kensington Pub and Hayden Block, plus attractions like the Plaza Theatre and the Regal Cat Café, every stroll reveals something new.

Nature just steps away: Riley Park offers family-friendly greenspace, and the Bow River Pathways invite walking, jogging, or biking with downtown views and an urban-river connection.

Introducing The Kenten

Perched on the corner of Memorial & 10^th Street, The Kenten takes its name from Kensington and Tenth — a nod to its landmark location in Calgary’s most celebrated zone.

Boasting just 44 exclusive residences, the building offers expansive floor plans from ~1,500 to over 4,400 sq/ft, each tailored for natural light and sweeping views of the Bow River and skyline. With retractable glass curtain walls stretching 22 ft across, the design transforms living spaces into “bungalows in the sky”.

Inside each residence reveals premium European inspired interiors: Sub-Zero appliances, butler pantries, private terraces, heated floors, custom millwork, and room to entertain in style.

A Perfect Match: Lifestyle & Luxury

In-Kensington, Out-of-Ordinary

Just steps from Kensington’s cafés, groceries, and galleries, residents of The Kenten enjoy the walkable energy that Avenue describes — but from the comfort and sophistication of a curated and simplified lifestyle.

‍Elevated Amenities‍

The Kenten offers over 8,000 square feet of amenities to socialize and relax — a Sky Lounge with views, private gym, hot tub & sauna, golf simulator, concierge services, and even a car wash.

Riverfront Access & Outdoor Living

Residents step right onto the Bow River Pathways, and live close to Riley Park and the Peace Bridge — making scenic runs, walks, and bike rides part of their everyday routine.

What the Neighbourhood Says

A longtime Kensington resident summed it up:

“The draw is unparalleled. I can’t imagine another community bordered by one of the largest urban green spaces ... the river and downtown core ... some of Calgary’s best local businesses ... strong community … no reason to leave when it’s all right here."

The Kenten builds on that legacy — putting you in the center of Calgary’s best urban experience, with surroundings worthy of being called one of the city’s best neighbourhoods in 2025.

Final Thoughts

Kensington remains Calgary’s benchmark for walkable, art-rich, community-centred living. The Kenten elevates that experience — blending that neighbourhood feel with high-end design, sweeping views, and tailored amenities. If Avenue’s feature sold you on Kensington’s vibe, The Kenten will give you the ability to live in its luxury.
