BUILD IT Calgary and Toronto Lead Canada’s Hotel Renovation Surge
BUILD IT aligns its Calgary and Toronto teams to meet rising demand for hotel renovation projects nationwide, helping owners modernize properties while minimizing guest disruption.
BUILD IT Calgary is advancing its role in Canada’s hospitality sector as hotel renovation activity reaches record levels nationwide. In coordination with BUILD IT Toronto, the company is supporting a growing wave of renovation projects as hotel owners prioritize upgrades to remain competitive in an evolving market. Recent industry data underscores the scale of this trend, with Canada’s hotel pipeline exceeding 330 projects, including roughly 120 renovation and conversion initiatives totaling nearly 15,000 rooms.
As new supply adds around 6,500 rooms in 2025, following years of limited growth, renovation is emerging as a critical strategy for enhancing guest experience and extending asset value. Statistics from Hotelier Magazine show that Manitoba alone has reached record highs, while CBRE reports that new supply will provide much-needed relief across Canada next year, highlighting the increasing focus on renovations over new builds.
“As the Canadian hospitality landscape enters a phase where renovation activity is as critical as new supply, hotel owners are looking for partners who understand the delicate balance of high-end construction and uninterrupted guest service,” said George Thomas, Marketing Manager at BUILD IT.
In Alberta, BUILD IT Calgary has demonstrated its expertise through major renovation projects in high-profile destinations. The full renovation of The Kenrick Hotel in Banff highlights the company’s ability to transform properties in competitive tourism markets. The team has also begun work on the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, a project located within Jasper National Park that requires careful coordination to preserve the character of the property while delivering modern upgrades. These projects position BUILD IT Calgary as experienced hotel contractors capable of handling complex renovation environments.
“By aligning our Calgary and Toronto teams, we’re able to deploy specialized renovation strategies that modernize iconic properties,” Thomas added.
In Toronto, BUILD IT Toronto has delivered several notable renovation projects that reflect the brand’s capabilities in urban hospitality settings. These include the renovation of Cassette at The Gladstone House, along with work at The Broadview Hotel and multi-level renovations at Soho House. Each project required careful execution within active properties, reinforcing the company’s ability to deliver upgrades while maintaining ongoing operations.
“Projects such as the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge and The Kenrick Hotel reflect how we ensure consistent execution across regions while meeting the expectations of our national clients,” Thomas said.
The collaboration between BUILD IT Calgary and BUILD IT Toronto allows the company to operate as a unified organization while delivering region-specific expertise. This structure supports hospitality clients across Canada by combining local knowledge with shared processes and standards. The company’s services as hotel renovation contractors include pre-construction planning, project management, and renovation execution designed to minimize disruption in active hotel environments.
As renovation demand continues to rise alongside new supply growth, BUILD IT remains focused on helping hotel owners enhance property value and maintain competitiveness. Through its coordinated approach between BUILD IT Calgary and BUILD IT Toronto, the company is positioned to support hospitality projects across Canada’s most active markets.
Further information from the company highlights its role as a commercial construction provider serving hospitality, retail, and institutional sectors across Canada. Its teams deliver project management and general contracting services tailored to operational needs, ensuring that renovation projects are completed efficiently and aligned with business goals.
