The Birkenshaw  is a 17-story high rise apartment building offering

fully funished and equipped 1 & 2 bedroom apartments for those requiring

a long or short term all-inclusive living arrangement.  We are within easy

walking distance of Calgary's downtown business core and the LRT 

(Light Rail Transit) and public transit, both providing access to all parts 

of the city.

The Birkenshaw  is a quiet, adult only building, with a front door intercom

 and video monitoring for safety.  All units have spacious balconies that

 afford breathtaking views of the downtown skyline to the north or the south

 skyline with the Rocky Mountains to the west.  Our suites are tastefully

 decorated and meticulously cleaned and maintained.

At The Birkenshaw  we have an excellent reputation for meeting the 

needs of our clients.  Our friendly and helpful staff take pride in doing their best to ensure every guest's stay is an enjoyable one.

The Birkenshaw  is located in the Connaught-Beltline district, an area

rich in architectural and historical significance in Calgary.  Our building

was named in honor of dry-goods merchant Thomas Birkenshaw, who

more than a century ago, built a stately three-story brick and sandstone

mansion which is part of our complex and is situated next door to our

apartment tower. The home's exterior was restored and the building is

consider an architectural gem for its refined elegant design, and it is a

landmark in our City of Calgary historical walking tours.  It has been

designated an "Alberta Heritage Home".

Another neighboring grand Heritage Home, just across the street, is 

the refurbished Lougheed Manor, with its expansive beautiful  Beaulieu

Gardens. Rich in history and a truly magnificent home, it contains a

wonderful restaurant that offers lunch on Wednesdays, Thursdays &

Fridays, and weekend brunches every Saturday & Sunday.
