They should incorporate some dramatic vistas via view glass polycarbonate panels so that people walking from 103 to the Winter Garden (er… Ford Hall) can get a close-up of the rising towers of the hotel/condo and the office/condo. A little effective upcast flood lighting would garner some oohs and aahs.

New details on Edmonton’s tallest tower revealed Thursday

Emily Mertz By Emily Mertz

It’s expected more details about the Stantec Tower will be unveiled later Thursday morning.

The tower will be the tallest building in Edmonton and Western Canada. In fact, once completed, it will become the tallest building in the country outside Toronto.

Construction plans for the tower in the downtown’s Ice District – the area around the new arena – were released nearly two years ago.

The building will serve as the world headquarters for Stantec and feature office space as well as residential condo units.

“It’s 66 storeys of useable space and then 67 to 69 are mechanical floors,” Downtown Business Association executive director Jim Taylor said in September 2015.

“Already the Stantec building meant a great deal for us, because a 62-storey building in Edmonton when our highest is about 36 with mechanical floors–-that’s a huge leap–so this was a very important building.”


The Stantec Tower under construction in the city’s Ice District will become the tallest building in the country outside Toronto.

WAM Development Group is the owner and developer of the 250.8-metre building, working in conjunction with the Katz Group. CEO Daryl Katz said at the time the design was unveiled the tower would benefit Edmonton for generations.

“The building is going to be an absolutely exceptional piece of architecture and an extraordinary addition to Edmonton’s skyline,” he said.

It’s expected to open in late 2018.
