Xenex
Xenex stands at 788 12 Avenue SW, in the Beltline. Bucci Developments built it and completed it in 2010, holding 150 homes. The exterior runs green-tinted windows, stone, and glass railings, and ceiling heights inside range from nine feet three inches up to eleven.
Listing sources read the building at 18 storeys and describe it as concrete. Xenex carries no entry in the city height register, so that figure has no independent check behind it and it is attributed here rather than stated flatly.
Bucci has built across the inner city for decades, Radius in Bridgeland among them, so Xenex sits inside a body of work rather than standing on its own.
Parking runs underground and titled, with visitor stalls on the same level and a car wash bay for residents. Homes take a separate storage locker, and laundry is in-suite.
The building is concrete and two elevators serve the floors. Video surveillance runs through the common areas, and a concierge works the lobby on weekdays.
What sits around it
Twelfth Avenue runs east and west through the middle of the Beltline, which was assembled in 2003 out of Connaught, established 1905, and Victoria Park, established 1914. It is one of the densest communities in Calgary and it takes its name from an early twentieth-century streetcar route. Council approved its redevelopment plan in May 2006 with the intention of housing up to 40,000 residents by 2035.
Central Memorial Park is a few blocks east on the same avenue, two hectares and complete by 1912, carrying the Memorial Park Library of that same year at its east end and designated a National Historic Site of Canada in January 2018. Haultain Park is further east. Seventeenth Avenue SW is five blocks south. Stephen Avenue and the 7 Avenue corridor are north, where 7 Street SW and 8 Street SW have carried both CTrain lines since 1981.
