Shell Centre

Shell Centre reaches 140 meters with 33 floors, featuring an Italian granite exterior and a figure-eight shape providing multiple corner offices.

Construction of Shell Centre began in 1975 by Olympia and York Developments with a budget of 35 million dollars on the former Caravan Hotel site.

The building represents a change in Calgary corporate architecture, replacing basic tower designs with refined structures incorporating marble and granite materials.

The structure contains two underground parking levels for 86 vehicles and incorporates 15 elevators to transport occupants throughout its 630,000 square feet.

The building exterior uses 34,000 cubic yards of concrete and 4,700 tons of steel, with a recessed lobby accessed through street-level support pillars.
