Icon Towers, Skyscraper in downtown Edmonton, Canada.
Icon Towers is a two-tower residential complex in downtown Edmonton. The north tower has 35 floors and stands 112 metres tall; the south tower has 30 floors and reaches 92 metres. A shared podium holds street-front retail, with offices on the floors between the shops and the condominiums above.
Icon Towers opened in 2010 and marked the beginning of a new development phase in Edmonton's skyline. The project benefited from relaxed height restrictions that had previously been limited due to airport operations.
The building reflects Edmonton's shift toward vertical urban development following the relaxation of height restrictions that were previously limited by airport operations.
The complex stands on 104 Street north of Jasper Avenue, on the stretch known as the Fourth Street Promenade. The podium's street-front retail opens directly onto the sidewalk, so the shops and cafés can be reached from the street without entering the residential floors above.
The German Wikipedia lists the towers at 112 and 98 metres, while the English article gives 92 metres for the south tower; the same German page calls them Edmonton's tallest residential buildings. The podium holds boutiques, cafés, restaurants and offices.
