Oaronuviss,
This is a great building-its color scheme and shine make it look a lot newer than 1983-9

I've not seen this beauty before. I love the glass and the un-boring indentations.

The ground section of the tower could have been much more attractive. 8 out of 10.

i get to see it everyday and still marvel at it.....there was originally suppose to be a twin to the west, but the oil crisis in the early 80's killed it.

Beautiful building! I was in edmonton this summer, by far the nicest building in their skyline. Not very tall but nice none the less.

What's the height?

The building is okay, except I think there are just too many setbacks and angles and that doesn't really fit with this sort of glass.

I like its clean lines and monolithic, highly polished appearance. The base looks a bit bulky and awkward though but perhaps appears better integrated in person. 9/10
