After more than 25 years telling Calgary’s business stories, David Parker is stepping into retirement — and our industry owes him a sincere thank you.
David was more than a columnist. He was a connector within Calgary’s development and commercial real estate community. He showed up to announcements, openings, groundbreakings and industry events not simply to report, but to understand the people behind the projects. He built genuine relationships with developers, brokers, investors and business owners across the city.
His writing consistently spotlighted local entrepreneurship, celebrated major milestones, and supported the broader business community through both expansion cycles and challenging markets. For many in commercial real estate, a conversation with David meant thoughtful questions, balanced coverage and a shared interest in Calgary’s long-term growth. Equally important, he is simply a good person — approachable, curious and generous with his time. That reputation matters in a relationship-driven industry like ours.
David, congratulations on your retirement. Thank you for decades of community engagement, for supporting local businesses, and for helping tell the story of Calgary’s evolving commercial landscape.
