CN Tower (Edmonton)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For Canada's tallest free-standing structure, the CN Tower in Toronto, see CN Tower.
CN Tower is an office tower in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It stands at 111 metres (364 feet) or 26 storeys tall, built and owned by the Canadian National Railway Company. Designed by Abugov & Sunderland, it was western Canada's tallest office tower when completed in 1966.
Built to overlook the old Canadian National rail yard, the building's basement once housed Edmonton's main passenger railway station, until the Canadian National railway tracks leading to Downtown Edmonton were removed in 1988. Since then, passenger trains serving Edmonton have stopped at the VIA Rail Canada terminal situated near the Edmonton City Centre Airport.
