About Arriva
Construction began in April 2005 and the tower opened in November 2007; two further Arriva towers were planned and cancelled, according to Wikipedia. BKDI Architects designed it and ITC Construction Group built it.
Suites run from one to three bedrooms, and 106 of the 164 units have more than one parking stall, which Best Calgary Homes notes is rare in Calgary. The building has few amenities beyond its common garden.
Unit counts are 164 (Justin Havre, Best Calgary Homes) or 167 (ITC Construction Group).

Arriva reviews: the Google rating

Who Arriva suits, and who should look elsewhere
A good fit for
Buyers who care more about solid construction, big suites and parking than a gym or pool, a short walk from the Stampede grounds and downtown.
Look elsewhere if you are
You want a full amenity package; there is no pool or gym listed.
Before you buy in any Alberta condo, ask for the estoppel certificate, the reserve fund study and plan, recent board minutes and the bylaws; together they show the corporation’s finances, special assessments and upcoming repairs. Use the condo fee calculator to check monthly costs and the land title fee calculator for closing.
