Anderson Estates is THE MOST ICONIC apartment building in all of Calgary, located in the historic community of Lower Mount Royal, with a perfect 100% Walk Score!!. As a Provincial Heritage Site, this building is for inspired buyers, those who don’t want the cookie cutter complex being built today. The H-Shaped design, while popular in other major cities, it is the only one of its kind in Calgary! Influence by the English Arts & Crafts movement is also evident in the extensive use of unifying oak, brass, and marble decorative features. The overall effect is one of luxury & elegance. Character defining elements include a BRASS BIRD CAGE elevator, mission oak baseboards + door frames, wrought iron central staircase, & brass decorative features. Upon entering unit #200, you will be transported back in time with a rare inner courtyard unit with 10 foot ceilings, 6 foot windows and 110 year old unchanging view of brick, sandstone and the warm glow of life and the courtyard below. The lay-out is exceptional, featuring formal dining room with an original china cabinet, a large living room with a loft, the largest of the galley style kitchens within the Anderson units, finished with granite counters, custom maple cabinets, stainless steel appliances, including an all-in-one washer/dryer and a pass through. The 4-piece bath is complete with a cast iron claw foot tub, pedestal sink, vintage tiles and a large private window and finally at the end of the hallway a very quiet, large, cozy primary bedroom with a small original closet and a PAX wardrobe. The Anderson Estates is a community of like minded & creative residents. Outdoor movies, resident events + regular social gatherings provide a sense of living somewhere special. You will never tire of hearing from your guests and visitors how incredible and special it must be to live in and be a part of this unique building!

Amenities include Monday to Friday CONCIERGE, leased bike storage stalls, assigned storage lockers, free access to oversized washer and dryer, access to front and back courtyards equipped with propane BBQ and fire table and extensive seating for residents and their guests use, among other things.

Welcome to the Anderson Estates, where all residents including their furry friends are an integral part of this very special community.
Built in 1912, this Provincial Historic Resource is one of only 2 apartment buildings in Calgary that you can own a piece of and enjoy a close-knit community of others that cherish living in such a special place.
The Anderson Lobby has welcomed residents and guests for over 110 years, and has come alive again in the last few years with Monday-Friday 9-5 concierge services, a coffee station and comfortable seating! And don't forget the historic (absolutely working)
This space is often bustling with neighbours chatting on their way in and out with their furry friends, small coffee groups and occasionally an indoor resident event! Tons of opportunities to get to know other incredible members of the community! (Unless
Welcome to Unit #200 and interior courtyard facing unit with old New York style views of brick, sandstone, and the warm glow of life going on across the courtyard.
A large classic floorpan with 2 large principal living spaces, perfect for the entertaining!
The original Anderson apartments feature only one of 2 floorpans, a 2-room T-shaped unit at approximately 500 sq ft with 1 bedroom and 1 living room OR the 3-room plan, over 600+ sq ft, with 3 large principal rooms that could be used as a 2 bedroom and a
This terrific built-in loft provides tons of work, living and guest space! Easy to add French doors to close this room off for a second private bedroom! (seller willing to remove loft if wanted by buyer)
Unique to the Anderson this is no cookie cutter floorpan! And you will not find space like this in a new build.
With 10 foot ceilings, 6 foot high windows, original red oak finishing and maple hardwood floors, the quality can not be replicated at this price.
Dining room with china cabinet and pass through. This china cabinet is a protected "item of significance" listed under inventory of the Historic Resource Act.
Original to the unit, this cabinet can feature many beloved collectables, or use it as a liquor cabinet :)
Let's talk about sound from up above or down below! This building was constructed of solid concrete and brick! The floors are constructed of 2 ft of concrete, then under the hardwood are 4" joists with 3-4" of gravel... No subfloors under this hardwood! C
Stunning Vintage wallpaper tacked on along the edges for easy removal if wanted.
Large entry space with unpainted art rails throughout the dining room
The widest galley kitchen in all of the original Anderson units! So many easy update options and re-using all of the cabinetry... See IG under #andersonestates
Stainless steel appliances, solid wood doors and granite countertops.
All appliances, including a washer and dryer all-in-one housed in the kitchen, making it the true heart of the home!
Large pantries, make this kitchen very functional with a lot of storage!
Large Primary bedroom providing a ton of furnishing and design options!
Primary bedroom with an original closet (how did people survive on such limited wardrobes??) and a large PAX wardrobe (that can be removed if buyer would like)
A cast-iron clawfoot tub, capable of providing a hot bath for well over an hour! Once you have had a cast iron tub, it is difficult to ever go back!
Hallway from the Primary bedroom to the dining room, with the perfectly appointed bathroom and kitchen along the way!
Uplighting glow from the back courtyard provides warmth and drama. And the fact that the view hasn't changed in 110 years is pretty cool too!
Every common floor lobby enjoys comfortable seating for visits or a change of scenery from working in your apartment.
Spotted regularly on Sundays mornings in the winter, residents enjoying morning coffee visits, sometimes accompanied by their furry friends.
The back courtyard, with seating for over 26 people is an oasis from the summer heat and is enjoyed day and night by residents and their guests! But with limited seating, residents don't forget to sign up at Concierge for the weekly "Summer Movie in the C
A propane BBQ and fire table add to this well loved space that was once just a dark, mechanical room roof-top space until the engineers said it could be used! Great use of space for a community that enjoy memorable experiences within their community.
Distinguished by it's H-shaped design, this plan provided all units with an abundance of windows and natural light. This design, although popular in other large cities in North America, it is the only one ever built in Calgary. Unit #200 overlooks the nor

What is there to say other than ... the location!??? Who wouldn't want to live in the heart of Calgary Uptown in Lower Mount Royal?? The envy of everyone you know, you will live in a coveted location that lets you enjoy the best of both worlds, surrounded
Fun Fact: The Anderson Apartments were the OG of residential high rise apartments in Calgary, holding the title from 1912-1955 when the Rideau Towers were built!
Fun fact: In 1909, the Anderson Apartments were one block off of what was home to Calgary's historic streetcar line #5 until the streetcar era came to an end in 1950. Now it is 17th Ave or what Calgary hockey fans refer to as the Red Mile!
We look forward to welcoming you to this incredible community! Just one last shot of the front courtyard with bistro seating for residents and guests. A home and community that you will be proud to be a part of!
