Petro-Canada Centre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Petro-Canada Centre is a 1,945,000 square foot (181,000 m²) project composed of two granite-clad and reflective glass office towers of 32 floors and 53 floors, situated in the office core of downtown Calgary, Alberta. At 215 m (measured to top of the structure), the west tower is the tallest building in Canada outside of Toronto [1]. The office towers encompass 1,702,000 square feet (158,000 m²) of rentable office space with the complex also containing 243,000 square feet (23,000 m²) of retail and underground parking area. A glass-enclosed walkway (see +15 System) provides shelter, and easy access to the surrounding buildings.
The building was often called Red Square in its early years, a derisive reference to its primary occupant Petro-Canada which was a Crown Corporation at the time. Petro-Canada has since been privatized.
