    Specific Tips for Chinatown Moves



  • The Elevator "Window": Most Chinatown condos (e.g., Waterfront) only allow moves in 3-to-4-hour blocks (typically 9 AM–12 PM or 1 PM–4 PM). If your movers are 15 minutes late, the building may cancel your slot. Book 2–4 weeks in advance.


  • Parking Waivers: Street parking is extremely limited. If your building doesn't have a dedicated loading bay, you must apply for a Temporary No Parking Permit through the City of Calgary. In 2026, this costs roughly $31.50 per day.


  • Truck Height Restrictions: Many Chinatown parkades have a maximum clearance of 6'8" to 7'0". If you are moving into an underground unit, you must tell your mover. They will need to bring a "shuttle van" or a low-roof truck rather than a standard 5-ton.

Get Movers Calgary provides all of these professional protections, logistical planning, and parking coordination at an affordable price, ensuring your Chinatown move remains in your budget.
