Prince’s Crossing is one of Eau Claire’s more established Condominium Buildings.  It was built in 1981, well before the latest building boom in the 90’s and 2000’s.  Prince’s Crossing was converted from apartments in 1993 on Condominium Plan 9310779.  It still has an amazing amount of charm and finesse.   Prince’s Crossing is located at 738 3rd Ave SW, Calgary, AB in Eau Claire, Kitty-Corner  from the Eau Claire Retirement Reside and Catty-Corner from the Pavilions Condominium Complex.  Prince’s Crossing is very nearby the Peace Bridge, Prince’s Island Park and is in the heart of Downtown Calgary in the Eau Claire District.  Some of the suites have a partial river view.

Prince's Crossing Calgary

The lobby is spacious and manned 24/7.   I found the attendant to be unusually amicable.  Gordon has been there for 4 years and seemed to like his position there, and take great pride in carrying out his duties.  For this reason  I suspected him to be a unit-holder but I was wrong.  Unlike most condominiums, Prince’s Crossing apparently hires their security people privately and this seems to make a huge difference.  There are three Otis Elevators, very generous by today’s standards.   There is a refundable damage deposit of $100 to move in or out (Subject to change)

Prince’s Crossing Amenities

Prince’s Crossing has an Exercise Room with rubber floor on the second floor.  It is spacious and airy, with a big screen TV, and his/hers steam rooms and lockers.
