The Famous Black Knight Inn

This is a landmark of the area with deep roots in the history of the area. It is special to many people due to the fun they had there staying in the hotel, seeing entertainment around the area, or the dinner theatre. For others, it was a learning environment where they attended conferences. What’s left is a beautiful piece of real estate that was for sale.

The Real Estate

The land in which Black Knight Inn was on is a highly valued piece of real estate. There were some thoughts of affordable housing or condos for the area that would give housing to local residents or those looking to move to Red Deer. However, in one corner of the land a KIA dealership has been built. There is still plenty of land to build future projects. Will it be residential? Will it be commercial? We will keep you updated.
