Canterra Tower, Postmodern skyscraper in downtown Calgary, Canada
The Canterra Tower stretches 177 meters into the sky with 45 floors of glass curtain walls reflecting the surrounding urban environment in Calgary.
WZMH Architects designed this commercial structure in 1988, marking a period of substantial development in Calgary's financial district during the late twentieth century.
The tower stands as a representation of Canadian architectural innovation, incorporating postmodern elements that define the evolution of Calgary's corporate landscape.
Eighteen elevators serve the occupants of this office building, providing efficient vertical transportation throughout its numerous floors for business professionals.
The structure temporarily operated under the name Devon Tower between 2011 and 2023 before returning to its original designation as Canterra Tower.
