Calgary Condos: Imperial Lofts

Building 206 - 11th Avenue SE was constructed in 1909 originally as a warehouse and in 1996 renovated to accommodate its current configuration of commercial space on the main and basement levels with three levels of residential apartments (two apartments per floor). It is a four-storey building plus basement with a concrete foundation, post and beam structure, exterior brick cladding and a flat membrane roof. The building is fully sprinklered and heated by a natural gas boiler system shared with the adjacent building. The main floor and basement levels offer retail space and the three upper floors offer 4 residential units. An opportunity for an investor to upgrade and resell the residential units and maintain the existing commercial tenants or just have long term investment income in a great location..

Apartment-Loft/Bachelor/Studio

Imperial Lofts has roots going back to the early 1910s, when the warehouse complex first started taking shape for the Imperial Tobacco Company. After decades as a warehouse, two adjacent buildings were combined and converted to the Imperial Lofts in 1995. It's one of only four true warehouse conversions in Calgary. Unit 405 is the top floor northeast corner. Thirteen-foot ceilings, stunning oversized windows, and gray-washed hardwood give the suite its loft character. The original freight elevator shaft is still here, with its metal door and pulleys intact, now opening into a quiet nook off the main living space. Use it as a reading corner, a closet, a hidden office. It's a piece of the building's history you can actually walk into. Two huge east-facing windows light the unit from sunrise onward. You wake up to morning sun on the brick of the buildings next door, and the light tracks across the suite all day. A corner gas fireplace anchors the living area, and the kitchen has been updated with white cabinetry, granite counters, and stainless steel appliances. The dining area looks straight out to the downtown towers. The three-piece bathroom has a glass shower with a tall ceiling and a rainfall spout. The In-suite laundry and a flex den that works as a home office or guest space finish out this amazing unit. Titled underground parking is also included. Building amenities include a rooftop patio with BBQ, fitness room, and a party room. You're across from Sunterra Market, a short walk to everything in the Beltline, Mission, and East Village, and close enough to walk to a Flames game! Don't miss your chance to live in this unique piece of Calgary history!.

Apartment-Single Level Unit

For the discerning buyer who values character as much as square footage, Unit 222 delivers something the modern market simply cannot replicate. Constructed in 1912 for the Imperial Tobacco Company by A. Dale and Associates, the architectural firm behind the iconic Calgary Tower, thoughtfully converted to lofts in 1995, this red brick residence is one of the first homes in this storied portfolio to reach the open market. At over 1,100 SqFt, it offers the kind of expansive, light-filled space that feels increasingly rare in urban Calgary. Soaring ceilings, exposed wood beams, and original hardwood flooring and brick walls set the tone the moment you step inside, while the open-concept layout moves naturally from the galley-style kitchen, dining space and into the living area, anchored by a feature corner fireplace. Maple cabinetry with under-mount lighting, a tiled backsplash, and a peninsular island with seating make the kitchen both polished and practical, designed for easy entertaining without sacrificing flow. A private den offers genuine live/work flexibility, whether used as a dedicated home office or quiet creative studio. Entered through brick-arched French Doors, the large master bedroom includes a walk-in closet and full ensuite, while a second generous bedroom, in-suite laundry, and three-piece bathroom complete the layout. Fresh paint and new lighting add a refined update while preserving the loft’s authentic character. Beyond the residence, the building offers a gym, games room, rooftop patio with panoramic 360 downtown skyline views, and titled underground parking. Set in Calgary’s Beltline, steps from some of the city’s best dining, transit, green spaces, and downtown energy, this is more than a home, it is a rare opportunity to own a distinctive piece of Calgary’s architectural heritage..
