Really have to disagree with you on this one. Calgary is already too segregated from a land use perspective. Having offices along retail corridors brings bodies in to support breakfast, lunch and general daytime activity so business don't have to only rely on the 6pm+ crowd to survive. If anything, 17th would benefit from more office space throughout.

I think that 500 5 Ave SW, Chevron Building, is missing. That's another 332 units.
Another one that was completed in 2021 would be The Westley Hotel at 640 4 Ave SW. It has 104 rooms.

An office to hotel conversion on 17th would be money!

Almost all of them have had 'For Lease' banners up on them for years. No one wants to lease 1980s Class C office space whether its downtown, Beltline or 17th Ave.

Missing the Minto International Hotel conversion which is 200+ units.
That's new to me. I like it. Just the kind of building Centre Street could use a hundred more of.

Office conversion list updated again and I think this should be up to date now. The thing that really struck me was the total number of residential units at 3605. It's like building around 10-12 x 30 storey residential towers around the core.
