The Daisy is a proposed 12-storey building designed for the east side of 14A Street SW, just behind Starbucks.

The Daisy will deliver:

  • Publicly accessible rooftop all-seasons garden

  • '88 Olympics Interpretive Centre

  • Not-for-profit office space

  • Affordable, accessible housing

  • New housing

A Family Legacy for Calgary

The Daisy is being led by Robert “Bob” Brawn, who grew up on this very block. Now head of the Brawn Family Foundation, Bob is bringing his family’s story full circle. Once complete, this development will generate ongoing revenue to support parks, healthcare, the zoo, and other community spaces—to benefit Calgarians for generations to come.

Story Behind the Name

The Daisy is named in honour of Bob’s mother, Daisy Mamani Brawn (1909–1989), who raised her family on this site in the Bankview neighbourhood. This project carries her name as a tribute to the values she passed down: care, community, and a deep love for Calgary. The Daisy carries that spirit into the future through housing, shared spaces, and social impact.

Vision for the development

The Daisy will be a unique 12-storey mixed use development that both celebrates legacy while contributing back to the City for generations to come.

Concept

  • Legacy project celebrating the life and achievements of Robert “Bob” Brawn.

  • Located on the childhood home of Bob, and named after his mother Daisy.

Housing

  • Essential multi-family housing.

  • Aligned with the approved LAP.

  • Targeting ~5% adaptable affordable housing.

Public Space

  • Publicly accessible all season rooftop garden with views of downtown.

Interpretive Centre

  • Celebration of Bob’s legacy, including chairing the 1988 Winter Olympics committee.

Similar Developments

The Daisy will keep good company. These are precedent examples of other Calgary developments that incorporate community amenities.

cSPACE King Edward School

Marda Loop

After the closure of King Edward School, cSPACE purchased the site in 2012 to transform the site into a community hub and arts incubator in 2017.

Much like cSPACE utilizing a cultural site, this proposed building will also draw upon the history of a prominent Calgarian’s childhood home. Not only providing much needed housing but also creating public spaces that serve as a cultural anchor for the city.

Grow Residence

Bankview

The Grow residence serves as an example that has integrated a private rooftop garden. Designed to be a place for the residence to work together and create a sense of community.

The proposed development goes further and introduces a rooftop park and interpretive centre which are both open to the public. Providing an amenity to more than those who live in the building.

Esker Foundation

Inglewood

Founded by the Hill family, the Esker Foundation was envisioned as a space for the public to engage with contemporary art. It shows how private initiative can serve the public good, transforming personal passion into a lasting cultural contribution.

In a similar spirit, The Daisy aims to create public space amenities that serve the community. It also emphasizes the value of privately supported, publicly beneficial spaces that contribute meaningfully to the urban and cultural landscape.

Devonian Gardens

Downtown

The Devonian Gardens are an indoor botanical garden that includes over 500 trees, with a living wall, fountains, fish ponds and a playground.

The privately owned rooftop public space (park), in this development will be open to the public to explore in a similar fashion to the Devonian Gardens. Offering a variety of green space amenity and plantings.
