arriVa Welcomes Olives Restaurant - Opening July 4th!
June 26, 2008 – 2:45 pmAs you may have heard, the TORODE Group of Companies have recently increased our commitment to supporting public art in Calgary by commissioning a $1 million sculpture for the flourishing arriVa community. On Thursday June 5th, the successful finalist of the international invitational competition was announced and the winning sculpture concept was unveiled. Entitled “HALF K,” this incredible sculpture is a 500m long metal line drawing by acclaimed Canadian artist Micah Lexier and will be installed September 2009. It will serve as a signature piece for arriVa’s residents and as a new landmark for the people of Calgary. Read more on this exciting story here or visit www.arrivacondos.com or www.torode.com.

We are also very excited to welcome the newest member of the arriVa community, Olives Restaurant. Olives is the third restaurant to be operated by the Hotel Arts Group and will open on July 4th on the main floor of arriVa at the corner of 12th Avenue and Olympic Way SE. Olives specializes in innovative Italian cuisine created by Chef Johnathan Canning in a lively setting furnished with contemporary décor imported from Italy. Dine at the food bar and be inspired by Chef Canning as he creates dishes before your eyes. Relax in comfort in the lounge or dining room while sampling from a wide array of wines from across the Italian countryside. In a hurry? Drop by our deli market and select a gourmet meal to go. Located across the street from the new Stampede Casino and two blocks from the Pengrowth Saddledome, dine in style before and following concerts, Flames games and special events. Underground parking is available in the arriVa parkade.
