The Globe and Mail is paying attention to the conversions. Globe Headline (and byline):
Office-to-hotel conversion is bringing something new to Calgary's downtown core
Nearly two years after the announcement of the first office-to-hotel conversion project in downtown Calgary, the retrofit of the 170,000 square-foot Canadian Centre building into an extended-stay hotel, Element by Westin, has begun.
It is this one in case you're like me and forget generic building names like Canadian Centre. I didn't know it was extended stay.

I hope they make those upper terraces into shared amenity spaces for guests, with maybe even a resto/social club or something.

I had no idea the Fina Building conversion was underway?? There was work going on inside (the door was open), so I dunno? Figured we would heard about it here first.

I think the Petro Fina conversion has been underway for some time now. Perhaps it deserves a thread of its own!
Might as mention this one as well, as it possible conversion is already underway. 26 floors and 264 units. NORR/Cairo
