The Globe and Mail is paying attention to the conversions. Globe Headline (and byline):
Office-to-hotel conversion is bringing something new to Calgary's downtown core
Nearly two years after the announcement of the first office-to-hotel conversion project in downtown Calgary, the retrofit of the 170,000 square-foot Canadian Centre building into an extended-stay hotel, Element by Westin, has begun.
It is this one in case you're like me and forget generic building names like Canadian Centre. I didn't know it was extended stay.

I hope they make those upper terraces into shared amenity spaces for guests, with maybe even a resto/social club or something.

I had no idea the Fina Building conversion was underway?? There was work going on inside (the door was open), so I dunno? Figured we would heard about it here first.

I think the Petro Fina conversion has been underway for some time now. Perhaps it deserves a thread of its own!
Might as mention this one as well, as it possible conversion is already underway. 26 floors and 264 units. NORR/Cairo

This CBC article notes that 5 office conversions are on track to be completed in 2025.

Which 5? Canadian Centre, Teck Place, Eau Claire 1, Eau Claire 2, Dominion, The Loft and Baron all could finish in 2025. Hanover, Petrofina in 2026? Has Cressey started work on The Taylor Building (805 8 Ave sw) ?

The article doesn't specify. My guess would be Teck Place, Petrofina Building, Eau Claire 1, Eau Claire 2, and Element Hotel if I had to place a bet. I haven't heard anything regarding the Taylor Building.
