Element Hotel Calgary Downtown | 48m | 12s | PBA Land Development | NORR

[Surrealplaces]

Not a new hotel or design that we haven't seen before. This is for the conversion of the Canadian Centre at 833 - 4th ave SW into a 226 room hotel. Seeing as the conversion is underway, we might as well get a thread going.

I’m kinda shocked we never see any proposals for the parking lot NW of this. Anyways I’m happy another office building is getting repurposed.

That parking lot is City owned, and given their track record at development, I don't anticipate we will see anything for a while

The city also uses that lot for people to host festivals from time to time, but it would be nice to see it developed. Especially if they could develop it with some restaurants/patios facing the riverfront.
I love the natural feel of the riverfront pathways, but we have a lot of that. It would be nice to see some more restaurants or businesses fronting the river walkway.

 

[Nawads]

I'm doubtful we will see it get developed. The city's current plan is to make it more of a park for events to be integrated more with the pathway system as part of the RiverWalk West project.

Prince's Island Park and the Bow within walking distance will be a great selling point for this hotel.

Do we have any renders yet of what this one will look like after conversion?

How you see it based on the color matched but randomly positioned vent covers

Looks like June 15th is the anticipated opening date for this one. Not too far off.
