TD Canada Trust Tower

The TD Canada Trust Tower is a 40-story postmodern skyscraper with a glass exterior that shapes Calgary's business district skyline. The building rises 162 meters and features a four-level retail base that connects to an adjacent shopping center.

The tower opened in 1991, replacing a former Eaton's department store that occupied the site from 1929. WZMH Architects designed this commercial building during Calgary's period of economic expansion and urban development.

The structure represents the expansion of Canadian financial centers during the 1990s, marking Calgary's evolution into a major business hub.

The building is easily accessible from Calgary's downtown area, with parking available nearby and good public transit connections. Ground-level shops and services in the retail section provide convenient amenities for visitors passing through.

The retail podium incorporates original walls from the former Eaton's store, creating a subtle link between the building's past and present. This preservation approach shows how modern development can honor what came before.
