Rising ever higher over the last several months since our last full updateKatz Group and ONE PropertiesStantec Tower has at long last come within reach of its final, 251-metre, 66-storey height, having recently passed the 60-storey mark. Thus with only a few more floors to go before topping off, Western Canada's tallest building will soon move into its final stages of construction.

Viewed above and below, Stantec Tower, standing tall alongside friendly rival, the JW Marriott, will be comprised of a 29-storey office tower component, above which an additional 36 storeys of residential living space will be placed, the two separated by an entire floor of amenity space, the latter complete with rooftop terrace.

A central component of Edmonton's ever-epanding ICE District, Stantec Tower will soon be home to hundreds of offices workers and up to 800 permanent residents, the massive injection of pedestrian activity this project will involve to be significantly transformative for the overall urban vibrancy of the core.
