Yeah strange. At least picking something with some flair. The building is a little bit funny as well, but the urban form is good.

Lots of work started beside Aspen Glen Landing shopping centre off 17th Ave. Not sure if they are expanding the commercial area.

Would it be this site? https://developmentmap.calgary.ca/?find=DP2018-3374

I heard that a new senior's/assisted living facility was being built in that area.

Yes that's the location thanks. Not a bad site for a senior's facility.

For years I wondered what was slated to go on that site.

A client of mine is converting an old office building on 4th Ave into a 108 room hotel. It’s the first I hear of such a development since the downturn. An interesting alternative to residential conversion.

Sounds promising, I hope it's something that comes to fruition.

That's great to hear. Any idea on the new tenant? Hopefully it's coupled with an exterior update like for the new conversion of Edmonton's former Enbridge Tower into their new Hyatt.

It is absolutely happening. He sent me interior elevations and it sounds like it's already under construction.

I don't know what it will be called yet. I think it's going to be an independent brand as opposed to a chain. I'll update you if I learn more.

Wow, already going ahead, that's awesome. Which building is it in?

Is it this office building at 4th ave between 5th and 6th street? I think I remember hearing something about this a year or two ago.

That's the one. It will be a boutique hotel with a restaurant on the ground floor. I think it's called Wesley Hotel. Won't be open before July or August.
