Eighth Avenue Place

Where address, art, and design formulate style and sustainability.

With handsome structural lines, a robust disposition amid The Calgary downtown skyline, EAP and The West Tower strike a remarkable resemblance to the Alberta Rockies and a matching reputation of sustainability and excellence.

Constructed in 2011, the 49-storey, 1.1 million rentable square-foot, Eighth Avenue Place is Canada’s first pre-certified leed platinum core and shell office tower and is highly coveted and fully leased.

Its sister, The West Tower, with 40 stories and 840,000 rentable square feet will become home to Athabasca Oil Corporation and Crescent Point Energy Corp. upon completion in 2014.
