Telus Plaza South

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Telus Plaza South in Edmonton, Canada was completed in 1972 (as the Alberta Government Telephones (AGT) building) at a cost of $22 million (CDN). It stood as Edmonton's tallest building until the Manulife Place was completed in 1981. It is 131 meters (33 storeys) tall, and maintains a Telecommunications Museum and viewing gallery on the 33rd Floor, offering an excellent view of the North Saskatchewan River Valley. Some buildings to the West and North obscure the views in those directions, but a view of the runways of Edmonton's downtown airport - Blatchford field, is still clear enough for patrons to watch aircraft taking off and landing only a few kilometers away.
