PRESS RELEASE
After three successful Vancouver locations, Pavilion sets a new standard for coworking with its hospitality-driven approach
On March 12, 2026, Pavilion Cowork will open its very first location in Calgary; the Pavilion Courthouse location is a 15,000 sq. ft. space at 800-550 6th Avenue SW and is the company’s largest location to date. This is the first location to open outside of Vancouver, demonstrating the demand for Calgary businesses to opt out of traditional long-term leases, and look to coworking spaces to fill the gap.
Pavilion is known for bringing exceptional hospitality, elevated design, and engaging programming to the coworking space. The decision to open in Calgary is to serve the city’s growing corporate and entrepreneurial ecosystem.
“Pavilion Courthouse is a unique place for Calgarians to work, play, and connect. In the past, we’ve found that our membership options really allow business owners the freedom to find what works for them, whether it’s having access to a boardroom or dedicating a private office space to their team,” states President Herman Kwee. “As office work habits continue to evolve in Calgary, the demand for flexible, professional workspace will continue to climb.”
Pavilion Cowork’s new Courthouse location will offer the following memberships:
Private Office – offers optimal privacy for individuals or teams of 1-8 people, starting at $750/month
Dedicated Desk – a dedicated desk in a private office, starting at $600/month
Hot Desk – a flexible, more ad-hoc work option, starting at $300/month
Flexible Subscriptions – for those who need an office space a couple times a month
Virtual Office – an option for teams that only need access to meeting spaces, starting at $60/month
Special Founders Pricing including 2 months free and a special welcome gift will be available for those who sign up for 12 month contracts in March.
In addition to utilizing the location’s shared office spaces, members will benefit from high-speed secure internet, fitness facility and kitchen/lounge usage, private phone booth access, monthly event programming, and around the clock cleaning. Currently, the Pavilion team has brought on partners such as Caffe Levant, Better Day Meals, Coven Health Collective, Olia Macaron, Monogram Coffee, Sunday Flow, Sabi Mind, Field Kit Studio, and Hampton Inn by Hilton Calgary Downtown to provide members with exclusive access to discounts, offerings, and events.
“Our hospitality-forward approach means we focus on supplying members with everything they need for their work day,” remarks Clare Linton, Vice President of Marketing & Corporate Operations. “The team has been working hard to curate offerings from Calgary’s most beloved brands and businesses. As someone who spent many years in this city, I’m really excited by the partners they’ve brought on board.”
