Framing Excellence for Multi-Family, Condos, and Apartments In Calgary, Ab.
At Martennial, we specialize in delivering precision framing solutions for Calgary’s most ambitious multi-family developments. With a dedicated team of 40+ framing professionals, we’ve perfected the balance of speed, quality, and innovation in wood-frame construction. These three signature projects – Harlow in Wolf Willow, The Arthur in Cityscape, and Carrington Apartments – demonstrate our ability to tackle complex construction challenges while maintaining strict timelines and budgets. From prefabricated systems that accelerate schedules to weather-resilient building techniques, each development showcases our commitment to building smarter, safer, and more efficiently.
Located in Calgary’s vibrant Cityscape community, The Arthur is a 5-storey, 98-unit wood-frame multi-family residential building thoughtfully designed with modern living in mind. Residents enjoy secure underground parking, ample visitor and surface stalls, private patios and balconies, and convenient bike storage with over 225 spaces. The building includes barrier-free accessibility, emergency vehicle access, and a fully sprinklered fire protection system. Sustainable features like underground MOLOK waste and recycling bins support a clean, efficient living environment. The Arthur offers a balance of comfort, function, and community-focused design.

Located in Calgary’s desirable Wolf Willow neighborhood, this 4-storey, 88-unit residential building represents our most efficient framing project to date. Completed in just 41 working days, Harlow benefited from our strategic use of prefabricated wall panels and optimized sequencing that allowed parallel work streams. The project’s success was rooted in our early collaboration with architects to simplify structural details while maintaining premium acoustic and fire performance standards.
Achieved 30% faster completion using prefabricated wall panels and optimized sequencing
Implemented resilient channel systems achieving STC 55+ sound ratings between units.
Maintained perfect schedule through daily alignment with masonry and steel teams.
As our largest framing project to date, this three-building, 324-unit development in Northwest Calgary demonstrated our capacity to manage scale without compromising quality. The Carrington project introduced several innovations, including ground-level assembly of floor systems for enhanced worker safety and specialized sequencing to accommodate concurrent trade work. The development’s premium amenities – including co-working spaces and games rooms – required additional structural considerations that our team expertly incorporated into the framing plans.
