Scotia Centre, International Style skyscraper in downtown Calgary, Canada
Scotia Centre is an International Style skyscraper standing 155 meters tall with 41 floors of office and retail spaces. The structure sits at the heart of Calgary's business district and connects to the city's +15 skywalk system.
The building opened in 1976 and was Calgary's tallest structure at that time. It marked a major milestone in the city's skyline during a period of rapid commercial growth.
The building honors George Stephen, a key figure in the Canadian Pacific Railway and Calgary's commercial development. His legacy shaped how the city grew as a business hub.
The building connects to Calgary's +15 skywalk system, which allows weather-protected navigation through downtown. Inside you will find retail spaces, a fitness center, and conference facilities for various visitor needs.
The ground floor was recently renovated to include several restaurants and cafes such as Major Tom Bar and Phil & Sebastian Coffee. This transformation brought more foot traffic and social activity to the street level.
