Eau Claire Place II Residential Conversion

RJC is providing Structural and Building Envelope engineering services for the conversion of this existing office building into rental residential space in downtown Calgary.

This adaptive re-use project is one of the largest of its kind in the province.The 17-storey tower will be redeveloped into a 195-unit apartment building, providing much-needed housing in the area.Our team is working on behalf of Pacific Reach Properties on this project, with a design team led by NORR Architects, Engineers, and Planners.

A re-imagining of the exterior concrete cladding will bring enhanced aesthetics that are more representative of a residential building, creating a welcoming home for tenants.

Soffit metal cladding placed along the underside of the post-tension floor slab at the entrance creates additional visual appeal.

Exterior improvements also include the replacement of glazing systems and windows.The interior transformation from office space to residential creates a modern, livable space utilizing tailored materials such as wood to enhance the feel for occupants.Minor modifications to the main and second floors accommodate ground level retail and a co-working lounge and gym.
