First Canadian Centre, Skyscraper in Calgary, Canada
The First Canadian Centre reaches 167 meters in height with its white-grey marble exterior and glass-steel construction spanning 41 floors in downtown Calgary.
During construction in 1981, the foundation pour for the planned second tower marked the largest continuous concrete placement operation in North America at that time.
The Bank of Montreal established a central banking hall on the ground floor, reflecting the financial institutions' influence on Calgary's urban development in the 1980s.
Located at 350 7th Avenue SW, the building connects directly to Calgary's Light Rapid Transit system, providing efficient transportation access for office workers.
The building's design included plans for a twin 64-story tower, but economic conditions in the early 1980s prevented the completion of this second structure.
