Take a tour inside Edmonton’s first shipping container apartment building
While it may not be the most traditional way of building, once you’re inside one of Edmonton’s newest apartments, you wouldn’t even know you’re standing inside what was once a shipping container.

A three-storey, 20-unit apartment building – made from repurposed steel shipping containers – is nearing completion in west Edmonton.

“We’re getting a lot of interest,” said AJ Slivinski, owner of Step Ahead Properties.
“Overall, everybody’s very impressed. I think their first words out of their mouth is, ‘We didn’t really visualize this.’ And I think they come to the realization that whether it’s shipping container or stick build, there is no difference.”

The sea-cans come from Canada’s West Coast. Because of the high cost of returning the containers back overseas, most of them only make a one-way trip to North America.

“It is a green option,” Slivinski said. “We are repurposing the steel that is piling up on the coast.”

With a tip of their hat, City Council has designated 'Tipton Investment Company Building' as a Municipal Historic Resource. The building, located at 10428 - 82 Avenue, is one of the more iconic buildings along Whyte Ave.

Constructed circa 1907, the 'Tipton Investment Company Building' is a rare and well-preserved example of the Boomtown Style architecture, which typified development in Alberta’s commercial cores in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is one of only two Boomtown Style buildings continuing to stand in the Old Strathcona Provincial Historic Area and is an important part of the area's character and streetscape.

The building is named for J.G.Tipton, a prominent business man and municipal politician of the time, who operated his real-estate office in the building.

Principal Heritage Planner, Scott Ashe said “The Tipton Investment Company Building is important to understanding the early development of Old Strathcona. Its preservation is a unique opportunity to connect Edmontonians with the City’s past.”

The City's Historic Resource Management Plan outlines the City's mission to identify, protect and promote the preservation and use of historic resources. The Plan contains 24 policies and 88 action items that direct how Edmonton's heritage should be preserved and celebrated.
