The 114-year-old Gresham Block building in Inglewood is set for demolition, according to a notice to terminate residential tenancy obtained by Postmedia .

Tenants received three month’s notice that their tenancies would be terminated.

The city says it is not aware of any redevelopment or demolition permits being issued for the site.

Heritage Calgary chief executive officer Josh Traptow says the three -storey building is a landmark.

The Silk Road Spice Merchant moved its flagship location out of Gresham Block nearly three years ago .

The business said one reason for the move was that “the old building felt like it was falling down around our ears” The building is owned by Louson Investments , a family real estate company headed by Justin Ryder .
