Questions

About the ranking.

What is the tallest office building in Calgary?

Brookfield Place (225 6 Ave SW) at 243.2 m, measured as the LiDAR roof height of its main structure. The Bow (500 Centre St SE) is second at 239.8 m and Telus Sky (685 Centre St SW) third at 225.6 m.

How tall does an office building have to be to make the top 100?

48.7 m. The median office roof across all 822 sites in the record is 13.8 m.

When were Calgary’s tallest office towers built?

More of the 100 tallest carry a construction year in the 1980s than any other decade (29 of them) on the City roll. The most recent by roll year is 600 3 Ave SW, recorded as built in 2016.

How many of the tallest towers connect to the Plus 15?

71 of the 100, where the City’s Plus 15 walkway geometry touches the parcel.

Why do these heights differ from published building heights?

They are measured roof-surface heights from The City of Calgary’s LiDAR, above the lowest ground point at the building. Published architectural heights usually include spires, masts and screens, and marketing floor counts can skip or add floors, so the numbers will not always match.
