Canterra Tower

Canterra Tower, Postmodern skyscraper in downtown Calgary, Canada

Canterra Tower is a skyscraper in downtown Calgary with 45 floors rising 177 meters high. The building features reflective glass curtain walls that mirror the surrounding cityscape.

WZMH Architects designed this building in 1988 during a period of major growth in Calgary's downtown financial district. It has shaped the city's skyline since its completion.

The tower stands as a representation of Canadian architectural innovation, incorporating postmodern elements that define the evolution of Calgary's corporate landscape.

The building has eighteen elevators that provide efficient vertical movement throughout the floors. Keep in mind that this is primarily an office building focused on business use.

The building operated under the name Devon Tower from 2011 to 2023 before returning to its original name. This change reflected shifts in ownership and corporate focus at that time.
