A new icon.

An iconic addition to Calgary’s evolving skyline, this 27-storey office tower with a curved glass façade extends gracefully skyward. The building is crowned with a glowing lantern space above the mechanical penthouse, adding further visual interest. 

A 30-foot tall lobby leads into a lush winter garden podium and a Plus-15 skyway walkway with retail amenities. The facility includes five levels of below-grade parking with 400 car stalls and 130 bicycle spaces, 547,000 square feet of office space, a tenant-only fitness centre, and a conference centre.

Smith + Andersen was engaged as the mechanical design consultant for this project.

Towering mechanical.

Energy efficiency was a priority for the mechanical design, as the team targeted LEED Gold certification.  The core washroom facilities feature high-end finishes and dual-flush, low-flow fixtures. Heating and cooling are provided by air handling units that feed into fan-powered boxes, with heating coils servicing the exterior walls.

A Building Automation System (BAS) centralizes the control of the mechanical systems throughout the facility to improve energy efficiency and occupant comfort.
