Transforming Calgary’s Skyline: Dominion Centre Office-to-Residential Conversion Impeccable Interiors is excited to contribute to the dynamic transformation of Calgary's downtown through the redevelopment of the Dominion Centre at 665 Eighth Street S.W. Led by Brenton Construction, this ambitious project will convert a former office building into 132 modern rental apartments above retail spaces, with at least 25% allocated for affordable housing. Our journey began with the demolition phase, and we’re now focused on steel stud framing, drywall installation, and finishing. These efforts are vital in ensuring the new living spaces are functional, durable, and meet the highest standards of craftsmanship. This office-to-residential conversion marks a pivotal step in creating sustainable, affordable housing solutions while breathing new life into the heart of Calgary. Scheduled for completion in summer 2025, this project is more than just construction; it’s about revitalizing communities, addressing housing needs, and shaping Calgary's future. Impeccable Interiors is proud to collaborate with Brenton Construction on this transformative initiative, which blends innovation, sustainability, and social responsibility.

The City of London financial district has given the green light to plans for a 73-story skyscraper that will match the height of Western Europe’s tallest tower, located just a mile to the south, signaling that city planners are still optimistic about the office market despite the ongoing downturn. The proposed tower, designed by Eric Parry Architects, will stand at 309.6 meters (1,015.75 feet), identical in height to London’s iconic Shard. If constructed, the tower would offer 154,156 square meters (around 1.66 million square feet) of office space, along with educational facilities for children on the 72nd and 73rd floors, as well as a public garden. The Shard, which currently holds the title of the tallest skyscraper in Western Europe, was completed in 2012. #LondonArchitecture #EricParryArchitects #Skyscrapers #TheShard https://lnkd.in/e6QKCbYW

Skyscraper matching The Shard is set for approval!!! A 309.6m (1,016ft) skyscraper, matching #TheShard's height, is set for approval in central #London. Named 1 Undershaft, it will replace the 28-storey Aviva Tower, offering office and retail space, a viewing gallery, and a garden. Historic England has opposed the plans, citing concerns about the impact on the area's character and historic sites, including the Tower of London and St James’s Park. The Twentieth Century Society also objected, highlighting the significance of the existing 1960s Aviva Tower. If approved by the City of London’s planning committee, the Greater London Authority (GLA) and the next Levelling Up, Housing and Communities Secretary would need to review the proposal. The new 74-floor #skyscraper would replace a vacant 28-storey tower, featuring office and retail space, a viewing gallery, and a garden. It would be the tallest building in the City of London’s skyline. The plans were revised from a previously approved 72-storey design to address post-pandemic needs and market changes. The GLA noted that the project does not fully align with the London Plan and requires more details on energy strategy, sustainable development, and traffic impact. Mayor Sadiq Khan will evaluate the public benefits against heritage impacts in his decision-making. #watchthisspace

Now known as 110 The Queen’s Walk, the former home of London's GLA will undergo a redesign from architect Gensler which will see the slanted egg-shaped building straightened to include more office and retail space. It will also be upgraded to meet the expected introduction of the EPC B rating or commercial buildings by 2030. https://ow.ly/PaJm50UrENU Keep up with the UK's evolving office sector and refurbishment trends with news and analysis from thesectorscope.com

A very satisfying part of our work is being able to give older buildings a new purpose and lease of life to protect their future for generations to come. Peel House in Sheffield city centre had come to the end of its useful life as an office building. There was an opportunity to transform the building into a new use that would secure its future for many decades to come. Working on behalf of our client, we converted this former office building into The Fitzgerald, a residential development comprising 102 apartments. The things I particularly like about this scheme are: 🏘️ More new homes in the city centre. 🏢 The sensitive refurbishment preserved the strong lines and robust architecture of the former office building. ✅ Breathe new life into a building whose former use had become obsolete, securing its future for many decades to come. 🏬 A good example of ‘gentle density, buildings ranging between 3-7 storeys. ♻️ Reusing the existing structure was a more sustainable alternative to demolition and the construction of a new building on the site. The Fitzgerald is a project that can help bring new life into urban centres, and it is a classic example of our work.
