City Market Lofts is an adaptive reuse residential project located on the former Edmonton City Market site. The City Market operated on this block from 1965 to 2004, following its relocation from Market Square as part of downtown redevelopment efforts. During that period, the site functioned as a long standing civic and commercial market serving downtown Edmonton.

The existing 1960s exposed concrete structure from the City Market era was retained and repurposed as the base of the current development. New residential floors were added above the original structure, maintaining the building’s industrial character while enabling residential use.

Today, the building contains 72 units of affordable housing for artists, delivered through a provincial & federal funding program.
