About the station

Highfield Station is in the centre of Calgary’s original industrial district. With close to 5,000 jobs within a 10-minute walk, Highfield Station will provide important connectivity to this large employment area. This station connects to:

Alberta Distilleries Ltd.
Alberta Flour Mills (Spillers Mill)
The Compound Skate Park
Calgary Food Bank

Highfield station reuses land that was previously a landfill. The station has the potential to encourage additional industrial and commercial growth in this area.

Public spaces

Considering the relative isolation of Highfield Station due to its particular location and topography, providing spaces that incentivize public engagement is of high importance to ensure the station is an inviting urban location. Creating points of interest on site will encourage users to engage with the space, whether they are actively waiting for a train or simply passing by the station.
