Among the best amenities rental buildings Edmonton has to offer, SKY Signature Suites in Stantec Tower is our top pick, with a demonstration kitchen, golf simulator, infrared sauna, hot tub, and 24/7 concierge. The right tower still depends on how you live, so this guide matches seven buildings to remote workers, pet owners, fitness fans, and hosts. In liv.rent’s September 2026 Calgary and Edmonton rent report, Edmonton’s unfurnished one-bedroom asking rents have stayed between $1,236 and $1,264 since April 2026, so the price gaps below come from the buildings, not from a moving market.
Which Edmonton rental buildings have the best amenities?
Seven buildings stand out on the amenity lists their owners publish: SKY Signature Suites, Legends, Connect Tower, The Switch, Capital Apartments, Falcon One, and Elmora. We ranked them by the breadth and variety of amenities listed on owner or manager websites read on September 28, 2026, not by rent or resident reviews, so the order is an editorial judgment.
Among these seven, only Legends lists an indoor pool, SKY Signature Suites and Connect Tower list hot tubs, and every building lists a fitness space. The table shows what each owner lists, plus the lowest asking rent published on the owner’s site on September 28, 2026, where the site gave one.
| Rank | Building | Pool or hot tub | Fitness | Pet features | Work space | Rent from (September 28, 2026) |
| 1 (top pick) | SKY Signature Suites, 10310 102 St | Hot tub | Fitness centre, yoga and pilates studio, golf simulator, infrared sauna | Not stated on pages read | None listed | Price tiers from $1,500 to $1,800 (suite type not stated) |
| 2 | Legends, 10360 102 St | Indoor pool | Exercise room, fitness room, billiards lounge | Dogs and cats welcome | None listed | $1,818 for a 485-square-foot one-bedroom |
| 3 | Connect Tower, 10020 101A Ave | Terrace hot tub | Fitness centre, yoga studio, golf simulator | Pet run and indoor pet spa | Boardroom for up to 12, business centre | Not published (register for pricing) |
| 4 | The Switch, 10465 101 St | None listed | Nordic-themed fitness centre | Pet park, wash and grooming spa | Conference centre | $1,261 starting rent (one- to three-bedroom suites) |
| 5 | Capital Apartments, 10043 108 St | None listed | High-end fitness centre | Pet and bike wash, no breed restrictions | Co-working lounge, free coffee and Wi-Fi | $1,455 studio or one-bedroom; $50 monthly pet fee |
| 6 | Falcon One, 10023 104 St | None listed | Fitness and yoga space | Dog wash, rooftop dog run | Workspace and meeting rooms | Not published |
| 7 | Elmora, 8610 159 St | None listed | Fitness centre, wellness programming | Self-serve pet wash | Co-working lounge | $1,599 one-bedroom |
A blank rent is not a bargain or a premium. SKY Signature Suites, Connect Tower, and Falcon One did not publish a one-bedroom rent on the pages we read, and Connect Tower asks visitors to register before it shows pricing, so ask each leasing office for a written quote.
Do amenities add much to rent in Edmonton right now?
Not by a consistent amount, and this data cannot separate amenities from location, building age, or suite size. In liv.rent’s September 2026 Calgary and Edmonton rent report, Edmonton’s average unfurnished one-bedroom asking rent was $1,254, down 3.0% from a year earlier and down from $1,264 in August 2026. Since April 2026 that average has held inside a narrow band of $1,236 to $1,264.
Set against the $1,254 average, the four buildings that published a starting rent on September 28, 2026 ran from $1,261 to $1,818, or $7 to $564 a month above. Legends sat at the top, 45% above the average for a 485-square-foot one-bedroom with heat and water included. Capital Apartments was $201 (16%) above for a studio or one-bedroom, and Elmora was $345 (28%) above for a one-bedroom. The Switch’s $1,261 is a starting rent across one-, two-, and three-bedroom suites, so its true one-bedroom gap may differ. These are owner “from” asking rents, and the report counts current asking rents across every building type, so treat the comparison as a guide, not a like-for-like measure.
Incentives change the first-year picture. Elmora advertised two months free rent (terms apply), Capital Apartments advertised up to one month free on one-bedrooms and up to six months of free parking, and SKY Signature Suites advertised one month free plus event tickets and gift cards. CMHC‘s 2026 Mid-Year Rental Market Update, published June 9, 2026, covers seven major markets including Edmonton. It says landlords across those markets increasingly rely on incentives that often include free or discounted parking, gift cards, move-in credits, and in some cases cash bonuses, and that its Rental Market Survey found vacancies were highest in structures built after 2020 and in units located near post-secondary institutions.
For comparison, liv.rent’s September 2026 report put the average unfurnished one-bedroom in Calgary at $1,442, or $188 above Edmonton’s.
Which Edmonton apartments are best for working from home?
Connect Tower, Capital Apartments, and Falcon One list dedicated work areas on their owner sites, and Elmora and The Switch list a co-working lounge and a conference centre. Ask whether rooms can be booked, because a shared lounge that doubles as a social space may not suit video calls.
Connect Tower: best for meetings and a lobby café
Connect Tower, a 91-suite building at 10020 101A Avenue, lists a data-equipped boardroom for up to 12 people, a business centre, a conference room, and free Wi-Fi in the lobby and amenity areas. It also has three lounges with fireplaces, a lobby café, and a 24/7 lobby concierge and security desk, all per the Connect Tower. Rent is not published; the owner says to register for pricing, so budget from a written quote.
Capital Apartments: best for a co-working lounge and a lower starting rent
Capital Apartments at 10043 108 St lists a co-working lounge with free coffee and Wi-Fi, a rooftop terrace with fire pits and BBQs, EV charging, and Built Green certification, per the owner’s site (capitalyeg.ca). Studio and one-bedroom suites started from $1,455, and the owner listed a $150 monthly parking fee and gas and water included. Its published entry rent is the second lowest of the seven, after The Switch’s $1,261 starting rent, which suits a remote worker who wants a work lounge without the highest premium.
Which Edmonton rental buildings suit pet owners?
Six of the seven buildings list pet features or a pet welcome: The Switch, Falcon One, Connect Tower, Capital Apartments, Elmora, and Legends. The pages we read for SKY Signature Suites did not state a pet policy, so confirm it before you tour.
The Switch: best for a pet park and grooming
The Switch lists a pet park with grooming stations and an outdoor play area, plus an on-site spa with wash, dry, and grooming facilities and complimentary dog treats. Beyond pets, its 285 units share a fifth-floor rooftop terrace with fire pits and BBQ grills, a 12-seat home theatre, and two guest suites. The owner’s site showed a starting rent of $1,261 and the banner “Exciting New Incentives Available” on September 28, 2026, the lowest published starting rent among these seven.
Falcon One: best for a rooftop dog run
Falcon One, a 30-storey rental tower on 104th Street, lists a dog wash and a rooftop dog run alongside a rooftop patio and lounge, fitness and yoga space, and a workspace with meeting rooms. The owner says the Bay Enterprise Square LRT station is nearby and puts MacEwan University within walking distance, though you should confirm walk times on a map.
The other four are simpler to summarize. Connect Tower has a pet run and an indoor pet spa, Capital Apartments has a pet and bike wash with no breed restrictions but a $50 monthly pet fee, Elmora has self-serve pet washing stations, and Legends welcomes small dogs, large dogs, and cats.
Which Edmonton rental building is best for fitness and wellness?
SKY Signature Suites has the widest wellness list, and Legends is the only one of the seven with an indoor pool. Pick SKY for variety and Legends for lap swimming, then ask both about crowding, hours, and any fees.
SKY Signature Suites: best for variety
SKY Signature Suites rents 483 suites on floors 31 through 66 of Stantec Tower, and lists a fitness centre, yoga and pilates studio, golf simulator, billiards lounge, infrared sauna, hot tub, media room, outdoor lounge, demonstration kitchen, and 24/7 concierge. Greystar manages the building, and a separate furnished page offers short-term leases from three months. On September 28, 2026, the site showed price tiers of $1,500 to $1,800, $1,801 to $2,100, and $2,101 and up, without saying which suites sit in which tier.
Legends: best for swimming and a rooftop
Legends Private Residences, run by McLeod Realty and Management, lists an indoor pool, exercise and fitness rooms, a billiards lounge, a rooftop BBQ area and patio, and a 24-hour concierge. The page also lists access to the Archetype Gym and the JW Marriott hotel spa, so ask what that access includes and what it costs. A one-bedroom of 485 square feet was $1,818 with heat and water included.
Which Edmonton rental building suits a renter who likes to host?
Elmora suits renters who cook and entertain, with a demonstration kitchen, a rooftop lounge with BBQs and panoramic city views, and a community lounge. It also lists a co-working lounge, a fitness centre, heated underground parking, and four EV charging stations.
Elmora: best for a demonstration kitchen
Elmora, at 8610 159 St in west Edmonton and managed by Royal Management Services, lists in-suite laundry and air conditioning along with its shared spaces. One-bedrooms started from $1,599 and two-bedrooms from $1,775, and the site advertised two months free rent (terms apply). The site refers to a Valley Line West LRT connection, so confirm the station location and opening date with the City of Edmonton before counting on it.
If hosting means overnight guests or movie nights, two other buildings help. The Switch has two guest suites and a 12-seat home theatre, and Connect Tower has a hosting kitchen and a guest suite for short stays.
What should you check before signing at an amenity building in Alberta?
Check what is included, what the promotion means for your second year, and what the lease says about rent increases. Alberta does not cap rent increases: Service Alberta’s rent increase guide, read on October 1, 2026, says the Residential Tenancies Act does not control how much rent can be increased. The same guide says rent cannot rise until 365 days after a tenancy began or the last increase, and if that day falls inside a fixed term, not until the term ends. A monthly periodic tenancy needs three full tenancy months’ notice of an increase.
A free month lowers your first-year cost but says nothing about your renewal rent, so ask what the building charged its longest-staying tenants at their last renewal, and get every offer in writing. Also ask about parking and pet fees: Capital Apartments listed $150 monthly parking and a $50 monthly pet fee, and the other owners’ pages we read did not state parking or pet fees. This is general information about Alberta, not legal advice.
To compare more buildings, browse Edmonton rental listings on liv.rent, follow the monthly liv.rent rent reports for market updates, and read the renters’ guide before you apply.
Featured on liv.rent
The Hendrix at 9733 111 St lists a fitness centre, a 31st-floor rooftop lounge, a theatre room, a lounge with a coffee station, and heated underground parking on the owner’s Hendrix page. The owner did not publish a rent or pet policy, and the site advertised one month free on select suites with conditions and limited availability, so confirm both with the leasing office.

Are there pet friendly apartments in downtown Edmonton with a dog run?

How much more does a luxury apartment cost in Edmonton?

Can I negotiate rent or get a free month at an Edmonton apartment building?
Often you can get an incentive. On September 28, 2026, Elmora advertised two months free, Capital Apartments up to one month free, and SKY Signature Suites one month free. Alberta does not cap rent increases, so ask about your renewal rent and get every offer in writing. General information, not legal advice.
What is the nicest apartment building in Edmonton?
There is no single answer, because it depends on your rent limit and habits. Among seven buildings compared on owner-listed amenities, SKY Signature Suites ranked first for variety, Legends for its indoor pool, and Connect Tower for its lounges and boardroom. Rent and resident reviews were not weighed, so tour before you decide.
