About TELUS Sky
The tower's footprint narrows as it rises, so the residential floors at the top have roughly half the floor area of the offices below, which Canadian Architect notes gives residents more light and views. Wikipedia lists construction from 2015 to 2020 and a roof height of 222.3 metres.
The homes are rentals, not condos: Westbank Living offers 12-month unfurnished leases and furnished suites for stays of 30 nights or more. Listings advertise heat, water, electricity, air conditioning and TELUS internet included in rent.
Unit counts differ: Wikipedia describes 341 planned residential units on the upper 32 floors, while REW lists 326 units. The building was renamed Calgary House; many residents and listings still call it TELUS Sky.

TELUS Sky reviews: the Google rating
Google reviews are the largest public sample of resident opinion for most condo buildings. The breakdown matters more than the average: a building with as many one-star as five-star reviews is a very different place from one with a steady spread of fours.

Who TELUS Sky suits, and who should look elsewhere
A good fit for
Renters who want a landmark building with utilities included, directly on the downtown CTrain line, and who value views and a turnkey furnished option.
Look elsewhere if you are
You want to buy; the homes are rentals. Renters on a budget will find cheaper space per square foot in the Beltline.
Before you buy in any Alberta condo, ask for the estoppel certificate, the reserve fund study and plan, recent board minutes and the bylaws; together they show the corporation’s finances, special assessments and upcoming repairs. Use the condo fee calculator to check monthly costs and the land title fee calculator for closing.
