Bow Valley Square

Bow Valley Square comprises four interconnected towers of varying heights, with Tower 2 reaching 143 meters across 39 floors as the tallest structure. The complex forms a unified building group anchored in Calgary's downtown business district.

Construction of Bow Valley Square took place between 1972 and 1981, marking a major growth phase in Calgary's downtown business expansion. This development period shaped the city's vertical growth significantly.

The complex houses numerous businesses and services across multiple levels, making it a central point for professional activities in Calgary's financial sector.

The towers connect to neighboring buildings through the Plus 15 skywalk system, providing indoor passage to Fifth Avenue Place and Suncor Energy Centre. Visitors can explore the structures on foot and use the connecting pathways.

Between 1974 and 1976, Tower 2 held the title of western Canada's tallest building before other projects surpassed it. This brief period of dominance shows how quickly the city's skyline was evolving.
