Eighth Avenue Place is a Шаблон:Convert[1] twin-tower building complex located in downtown Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The complex includes a 49-storey Шаблон:Convert East tower, 40-storey Шаблон:Convert West office tower, and a three-storey indoor urban park.[2]

The complex is housed on the site of the former Penny Lane Mall, originally intending to keep the historic name as "Penny Lane Towers", the project has since been renamed.[3]

Construction

Demolition of the old mall was completed in September 2007. Excavation of the parkade below the building commenced in December 2007 and construction of the 49-storey east tower, and the parkade begun in Summer 2008. Eighth Avenue Place East was completed in 2011 and is currently the fifth-tallest building in Calgary. Eighth Avenue Place West was completed later in 2014.

Design

The structures, designed by Gibbs Gage Architects to have a Rocky Mountain theme, with a western facing pale-green glass wall mimicking mountain waters and glaciers. The remainder of the building adopts a dark gray-layered appearance representing the shifting tectonic plates that built the mountains. The complex connects to the Plus 15 skywalk system, and contains a six-level underground parkade with 1,141 parking stalls.[4] The buildings also feature landscaped terraces and plazas, a Шаблон:Convert green roof, and an atrium winter garden.[5]

Eighth Avenue Place would win the 2018 BOMA Canada Earth Award for excellence in resource preservation and environmentally sound commercial building management for the Office Building class.[6]

Prior to construction, concerns had been raised over the destruction of the 94-year-old Penny Lane Mall; however, the City of Calgary approved the project in March 2006.[7]
