Calgary’s First Office-to-Hotel Conversion Opens Downtown: Element by Westin Brings New Energy to the Core

Downtown Calgary is experiencing a much-needed revitalization, and leading the charge is the newly opened Element by Westin, the city’s first office-to-hotel conversion. Housed in what was once a 1960s office tower, this innovative transformation is more than just a renovation—it’s a signal of how Calgary’s core is adapting, evolving, and finding new life.

From Office Space to Hospitality Hub

The building at 535 8th Avenue SW was originally constructed as an office tower during Calgary’s economic boom in the mid-20th century. Like many downtown buildings, it sat underutilized for years as companies moved out and vacancy rates soared. Rather than letting the space gather dust, developers saw an opportunity to reimagine the structure entirely. The result is a modern, environmentally conscious hotel that breathes new life into an old building while preserving much of its original frame and character.

Inside the Element by Westin

Designed for both short-term and extended stays, Element by Westin offers a unique blend of functionality and comfort. Each of the 226 rooms is outfitted with full kitchens, making it ideal for business travelers, relocating professionals, and anyone planning a longer visit to Calgary. The rooms are sleek and simple, with natural light, open layouts, and a calming, minimalist design.

The hotel is built with wellness and sustainability in mind. Guests will find filtered water stations on every floor, energy-efficient appliances in each suite, and eco-conscious materials throughout. The property includes a 24-hour fitness centre, complimentary bikes for guest use, and a hearty breakfast featuring fresh and healthy options daily.

What sets this hotel apart from other downtown stays is its community-driven atmosphere. The lobby is designed as a social space, where guests can work, relax, or gather for evening social hours. It’s modern without being cold, and approachable without sacrificing sophistication.

Bow and Bend: The Rooftop Experience

Perhaps the most talked-about feature of the new hotel is its rooftop patio and lounge, Bow and Bend. Sitting atop the 12-storey building, this vibrant new venue offers sweeping views of downtown Calgary, the Bow River, and the surrounding skyline.

Bow and Bend is open to both hotel guests and the public, serving up craft cocktails, local beers, and a curated menu of shareable plates. Whether you’re grabbing a drink after work or enjoying a sunset dinner with friends, the space strikes a balance between urban edge and refined comfort. The design blends warm woods, lush greenery, and open air, creating a rooftop escape that feels both elevated and grounded.

It’s already become a draw for locals and visitors alike, offering a fresh perspective on Calgary’s downtown and not just in terms of literal views, but in the sense of what’s possible when imagination and innovation take the lead.

A Sign of What’s to Come

The opening of Element by Westin marks a significant milestone for Calgary’s city centre. It’s a smart response to office vacancy rates and an encouraging sign that adaptive reuse can play a key role in urban renewal. With its sustainable ethos, thoughtful design, and community-forward approach, this project isn’t just a new hotel—it’s a blueprint for how downtown Calgary can evolve.

For travelers seeking a modern, extended-stay experience or locals looking for a rooftop patio with personality, Element by Westin and Bow and Bend offer a compelling reason to rediscover the core.

If you are interested in moving to Calgary and don’t really know how to start, where to eat and what communities your lifestyle flows into, let’s chat! Because your next chapter begins with Champagne 🥂

Why Young Professionals Are Flocking to Calgary (and Why You Should Work With Me When You Do)

If you're a young professional thinking about making a move, let me introduce you to a city that’s more than just mountain views and affordable real estate (though, yes, we have both). Calgary is having a moment—and if you're looking for culture, career growth, and a place to put down roots, this might just be your city.

I’m Terri Champagne, a local REALTOR® who helps Alberta’s next generation of homeowners buy smarter, live better, and feel confident every step of the way. Whether you're relocating for work, finally ready to stop renting, or just craving a new lifestyle, here’s your guide to why moving to Calgary just makes sense—and where the city’s most vibrant, walkable communities are waiting for you.


🌆 Why Calgary?

Here’s the quick hit:

  • No provincial sales tax (hello, savings).

  • One of Canada’s youngest cities by median age (around 38).

  • Booming industries: Tech, energy, finance, film, and more.

  • World-class nature: The Rockies are an hour away.

  • Cultural energy: Breweries, markets, art walks, food festivals—everywhere.

Calgary offers the lifestyle + affordability combo that cities like Vancouver and Toronto left behind years ago. And when you’re ready to buy? I’m here to help you do it right—strategically, stress-free, and with a little Champagne sparkle.


🔑 4 Hip, Walkable Calgary Communities for Young Professionals

These are the neighborhoods where brunch lasts all weekend, scooters outnumber sedans, and patios fill up by 5. You’ll find great coffee, vibrant nightlife, parks for your pup, and real estate that’s still within reach.


1. Beltline

📍 Inner-city | Median Age: ~33
💥 Vibe: Urban, eclectic, always-on

The Beltline is downtown Calgary’s unofficial playground. Live here and you’re walking distance to 17th Ave (the city’s nightlife strip), craft breweries, local boutiques, and work. High-rise condos, warehouse lofts, and vintage walk-ups make up most of the housing stock.

Why it’s hot: Calgary’s highest walk score, trendy eats, nightlife, bike lanes, and the city’s coolest coworkers all live here.


2. Kensington (Hillhurst/Sunnyside)

📍 Northwest | Median Age: ~35
💥 Vibe: Chill, community-driven, indie

Kensington is like Calgary’s own little Brooklyn. It blends heritage homes and modern condos with river paths, indie bookstores, and pop-up galleries. You’re minutes from downtown but feel miles away from the hustle. Plus, you can actually walk to brunch—multiple options.

Why it’s hot: It’s highly walkable, LRT-connected, and perfect for creatives, couples, and professionals who love a Sunday market and a strong Americano.


3. Mission/Cliff Bungalow

📍 Inner-city South | Median Age: ~34
💥 Vibe: Boutique, historic, riverside cool

Tucked between the Elbow River and 4th Street’s foodie strip, this pocket is classy without trying too hard. Think character condos, brownstones, and gorgeous tree-lined streets. Live music, wine bars, yoga studios—it’s all a short stroll.

Why it’s hot: Young, stylish, and walkable. You’re by the river for weekend runs and minutes from some of the city’s best happy hours.


4. Bridgeland

📍 Northeast | Median Age: ~36
💥 Vibe: Modern meets Euro-village

Once known for its Italian roots, Bridgeland has exploded with modern infill homes, cool mid-rises, and some of Calgary’s top new restaurants. It’s got a tight-knit feel and overlooks the Bow River and downtown skyline.

Why it’s hot: Close to the core, full of character, and full of life. From coffee to cocktails, it’s a walkable urban haven.


🏡 Why Work With Me?

Buying your first home (or your first place in a new city) doesn’t need to be overwhelming. With me, you’ll get:

✔️ Strategic guidance that helps you buy smart in the right neighborhood
✔️ Access to hidden gems, including off-market listings
✔️ A laid-back, professional approach—no pressure, all clarity
✔️ Local intel: Where to invest, where to live, where to brunch
✔️ Connections: Mortgage brokers, lawyers, movers, and even local dog parks


✨ Ready to Make Calgary Home?

Let’s turn this dream into a move. Whether you’re relocating for your career or just want a place that feels like you, I’ve got you covered.

📲 Slide into my DMs, shoot me a text, or schedule a call—however you like to communicate, I’m here to make your move to Calgary easy, fun, and totally on your terms.

New property listed in Airdrie, Airdrie

I have listed a new property at 350 Reunion GREEN NW in Airdrie. See details here

**OPEN HOUSE - SATURDAY JULY 26 12PM - 4PM** | Steps from Reunion’s Pond, Parks, and Top-Rated Schools but quietly distanced from the hustle is YOUR NEW HOME, where thoughtful design and everyday magic collide. From the moment you arrive, it’s clear: this one is different. The extended front patio and custom 9’ screen door invite you in with a charm that whispers “Stay a while.” Fresh exterior paint and a lush side garden add curb appeal that’s equal parts polished and personal. And then there’s the backyard. Oh, the backyard. Landscaped with intention and creativity, it’s a private showstopper backing onto quiet, protected greenspace and walking trails—NO NEIGHBORS BEHIND, just peaceful views and birdsong year-round. A two-tiered deck creates multiple zones for lounging and hosting, with a gas line for your BBQ, a bespoke pergola with built-in shades, and artfully crafted wood privacy screens that turn outdoor living into luxury. Think golden summer sunsets, outdoor dinner parties under twinkle lights, or fireside chats beneath the stars on a crisp winter evening. Inside, the details continue to surprise and delight. Stone-accented front entry and an updated powder room bring elevated style to the everyday. A spacious mudroom with custom lockers keeps busy life beautifully organized. In the living room, a bold drop-down ceiling adds drama and dimension, framing a cozy gas fireplace and mantle that dares to be different. The kitchen is an entertainer’s dream with huge windows overlooking the yard, quartz counters, stainless steel appliances, a designer rangehood fan, and bonus wine/coffee bar for life’s little luxuries. The corner pantry keeps everything in reach (and out of sight!). And outside your kitchen window? Edible landscaping—think herbs, berries, and perennials planted by a passionate gardener who made this home truly bloom. Upstairs, enjoy the everyday ease of a second-floor laundry room and say goodbye to hauling baskets up and down! A spacious bonus room offers extra lounging space, while two well-appointed bedrooms share a full bath. The romantic primary suite is a retreat of its own with a walk-in closet and ensuite featuring a 6-jet shower system to melt the day away. The basement offers a head start on your future plans with soundproof tiles and a ready-made theatre area that still leaves space for a full basement layout. There’s an egress window, rough-ins for a bathroom, and just enough finished space to let your imagination take the lead. With security system wiring, thoughtful updates throughout, and one-of-a-kind custom touches you won’t find anywhere else in Airdrie, this home is ready to sweep you off your feet. Best of all, it’s nestled in a community of incredible neighbors, moments from shops and conveniences—yet perfectly removed to feel like your own hidden haven. Seconds from Highway access or a quiet shortcut through 567 to Banff, your new home is as connected as it is peaceful.
