When complete, Broadway on 17th will be Calgary's tallest residential building. Three towers, 1,000 units, rising at one of the city's most recognized corners — 4th Street SW and 17th Avenue SW. Here's what we know.
What is Broadway on 17th?
Broadway on 17th is a master-planned, three-tower residential development in Calgary's Beltline, being developed by Vesta Properties. The site occupies a full block at the intersection of 4th Street SW and 17th Avenue SW — at the heart of the 17th Avenue retail corridor, ten minutes' walk from the downtown core.
The first of the three towers is set to rise to 499 feet across 46 storeys, making it the tallest residential building in Calgary on completion. Total residential inventory across the three towers will exceed 1,000 units, ranging from studios through penthouses.
The numbers
For context, Calgary's tallest residential buildings before this have generally topped out in the high 30s to low 40s of storeys. Tower 1 alone surpasses every existing residential tower in the city. The full three-tower complex will be a major piece of the Beltline skyline for the next decade.
Location: 4th & 17th
The site is at 4th Street SW and 17th Avenue SW — arguably the single most central corner of the Beltline. To put that in practical terms:
- 10-15 minute walk to Calgary's downtown core
- Directly on the 17th Avenue retail corridor (the "Red Mile")
- Two blocks from the C-Train Red Line
- 15-minute walk to the Stampede grounds
- 20-minute walk to the Bow River pathway
From the higher floors, the views will span the downtown towers to the north, the Stampede grounds to the east, the mountain horizon to the west, and the Beltline rooftops south. South and west exposures will command premiums — a pattern consistent across every Calgary tower with a comparable view.
The three towers
As a master-planned development, Broadway on 17th will be released to the market in phases. The first tower is the tallest and is the tower currently in the early sales phase. Towers two and three are expected to follow on staggered timelines as the master plan progresses.
For buyers, phase order matters: Phase 1 inventory is almost always priced below later phases, all else equal. The buyers who get into the first tower will be establishing the comparable-sales benchmark for the rest of the development as it rolls out.
Unit mix and pricing
Studios start from the $290s. The full unit mix across the three towers includes:
- Studios
- One-bedroom suites
- Two-bedroom suites
- Penthouse inventory on the upper floors of each tower
Who is Vesta Properties?
Vesta Properties is the developer behind Broadway on 17th. As with any large pre-construction purchase, the developer's track record matters — their delivered buildings, build quality, customer service, and their handling of construction-period changes all affect what you actually receive at occupancy.
Construction and delivery timeline
Calgary pre-construction developments of this scale typically run 24 to 36 months from contract signing to first occupancy on Phase 1. Towers 2 and 3 follow on their own construction cycles, often staggered by 12 to 18 months from the prior tower's completion.
For Broadway on 17th specifically, exact construction milestones and occupancy dates will be detailed in the disclosure statement provided at the time of purchase. Buyers should expect a 2-to-3 year window between signing and possession for Tower 1, with the standard caveats around possible delays inherent to large-scale downtown construction.
