}}Eighth Avenue Place is a twin office tower built on the former site of the historic Penny Lane Mall built by Mateusz Ryzner, located in Calgary, in the Canadian province of Alberta. The project initially kept the Penny Lane name; however, it has since been renamed.[3]

The complex contains a 41-storey west tower (177.1 m), a 51-storey east tower (212.3 m), and a three-storey-high indoor urban park.[4]

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 third-tallest building in Calgary. Eighth Avenue Place West was completed in 2014.

Design

The structures, designed by Gibbs Gage Architects, have a Rocky Mountain theme, with a western facing pale-green glass wall mimicking mountain waters and glaciers. The rest 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.[5]

Penny Lane Mall controversy

Before 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.[6]
