History
It was designed by Bregman + Hamann Architects, and was the tallest building in Calgary (surpassing Scotia Centre) when it was completed in 1982.
Original plans called for a two tower complex, with this tower being the first of the two tower project. The second tower would have had 64 storeys. A downturn in the local economy at that time forced plans for the second tower to be shelved. However, with the recent boom in Calgary,[when?] the vacancy rate in the downtown core has dropped to 0.5 per cent, the lowest in North America. This has created a highly rumoured resurrection of the second tower, as a land use amendment has been submitted to city council for approval.[3]
