Manulife Place, Office skyscraper in downtown Edmonton, Canada
Manulife Place is an office skyscraper in downtown Edmonton with 36 floors of steel and glass construction. The structure houses office spaces and retail areas with direct access to the city's underground pedestrian network.
The building replaced the King Edward Hotel, which was built in 1904 and destroyed by fire in 1980. Construction of the new structure began in 1981 on the same downtown site.
The building shapes Edmonton's downtown landscape and links multiple commercial centers into a unified walkable district. People experience it daily as a workplace and shopping destination in the city core.
The building connects through the Edmonton Pedway system to other downtown centers, offering year-round weather-protected access. Visitors can explore retail areas on multiple levels without stepping outside.
The building held the title of Edmonton's tallest structure from 1983 until 2011, when Epcor Tower surpassed it. This nearly 30-year reign made it a defining landmark in the city's skyline.
