Your building’s private neighbourhood.
Chat with real neighbours, buy and sell within your walls, and plan small get-togethers — without the noise of public social media. RiseYYC is only for verified residents of your Calgary apartment or condo building.
Free for residents · Building-restricted · No ads, ever
Building-restricted
Each community is limited to one building. Nothing city-wide, nothing public.
Resident-verified
Everyone confirms their unit before joining. Neighbours, not strangers.
Quiet by default
No ads, no follower counts, no public feeds. Just useful, local conversation.
How it works
From download to “hi, neighbour” in four steps
Joining takes a few minutes. Verification keeps things private — and worth joining.
Download the app
Grab RiseYYC from the App Store. It takes about a minute, and it’s free for residents.
Find your building
Search your address. If your building is on RiseYYC, you’ll see it right away — if not, you can request it.
Verify you live there
Confirm your unit with a building code or a quick residency check. This keeps your community residents-only.
Meet your neighbours
Say hi in the building chat, browse the marketplace, or RSVP to the next rooftop get-together.
What’s inside
Everything a building needs. Nothing it doesn’t.
Private building chat
One shared space for the people who share your walls. Ask for a cup of sugar, coordinate a package pickup, or just talk about the chinook rolling in. No algorithms, no strangers — just your building.
Marketplace
Sell the bike you never ride, give away moving boxes, or find a bookshelf two floors up. Pickup is an elevator ride away — no shipping, no meeting strangers in parking lots.
Building events
Rooftop BBQs, lobby coffee mornings, game nights in the amenity room. Create an event, see who’s in, and actually get to know the people down the hall.
Lost & Found + Notices
A missing key fob, a found mitten in the elevator, a heads-up about the water shut-off on Tuesday. The small stuff that keeps a building running smoothly.
Safety & moderation
Every resident is verified, every post is accountable, and clear community standards are enforced by real people. Report anything in two taps — we review within 24 hours.
Made in Calgary
Built for Calgary buildings
From Beltline high-rises to Mission walk-ups, more of us live in shared buildings than ever — and most of us couldn’t name three neighbours. RiseYYC starts small on purpose: one building, one community, real people you already share an address with.
We’re a Calgary team, and every community on RiseYYC is a real Calgary building. That’s the whole idea.
From early buildings
Neighbours, not strangers
“I borrowed a drill from a neighbour on the 14th floor within an hour of joining. We’d shared an elevator for two years and never spoken.”
“Our lobby coffee mornings started as a RiseYYC event. Now it’s just something our building does every second Saturday.”
“As a board member, the notices feature alone has been worth it. People actually see the water shut-off warnings now.”
Our privacy promise
We don’t sell your data, we don’t run ads, and your posts never leave your building’s community. Read the full details in our Privacy Policy.
Say hi to the people down the hall.
Your building is already full of good neighbours. RiseYYC just makes it easy to find them.
