Living at the Windsor means dwelling at the very heart of the southwest.
Your community and what’s around you is as important as your actual residence, and Britannia has it all. Surrounded by resplendent natural beauty, celebrated communities, fantastic businesses, endless amenities, and stunning parks, and only minutes from downtown.
More than just a home, living at the Windsor is a lifestyle. You’ll find a growing and engaged community, many opportunities for building connections with your neighbours, and tons of activities. We’ve put a list together of the many things to do in beautiful Britannia:
Get Shopping:
As a contemporary mixed-use development, life at the Windsor encourages the “live-work-play” lifestyle. With retail merchants on the main level, access is easier than ever. Nearby Britannia Plaza is also one of the best shopping experiences in the city with their eclectic selection of merchants and premier retailers. From Hemm to Ginger Laurier to Owl’s Nest to Optimal Pet Foods, and many, many more, you’ll find an excellent selection of notable stores independently owned by local entrepreneurs. Eat well with organic grocer and market Planet Organic right in building.
Chinook Mall, just a few blocks away, has many stylish and trendy options, including shops like Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom, Hugo Boss, Tiffany & Co. and even Tesla.
Get Dining:
You’ll enjoy your proximity to some of Calgary’s best restaurants living at the Windsor. From casual to contemporary to upscale, you’ll find delicious option for all meals (and libations) of the day. Local gems and trusted favourites, many within walking distance, and tons only minutes away. Try nearby Alloy, the Elbow Room, Mercato, Suzette Bistro Britannia, Gruman’s Delicatessen Britannia or take a short drive to Mission and enjoy the abundance of restaurants along lively 4th street.
Get Active:
Living at the Windsor gives you access to some serious greenspace. You can use the Elbow River Pathways to discover nature right in the city, from the Britannia Slopes, Elboya Park, Stanley Park and River Park right in your backyard. Walking and bike paths continue all the way the Glenmore Reservoir and Weaselhead Flats, with so much more in between. You’ll also be directly across from the prestigious Calgary Golf & Country Club, with a variety of activities from of course golf, to tennis, to Windsor Park and the Windsor Park Association and Rink.
Plus, tons of dog parks, playgrounds for the little ones, biking, and access to the gorgeous Elbow for kayaking and canoeing. And of course, OrangeTheory Fitness is right downstairs. Check out our fitness blog with some info and tips here.
Get Pampered:
After all that eating, drinking, shopping and exercise, you’ll need some pampering and relaxation. Bloom into wellness and achieve a higher standard of health, comfort, and happiness with products and services ranging from chiropractic, foot orthotic, clinical nutrition, naturopathic, acupuncture, massage and more.
