The tower is capped by two spires that top out at 137.3 m and these capped with four flagpoles each. When the flagpoles are taken into account, it is the tallest building in Edmonton however, at , Manulife Place remains the tallest structure. ==History== Development of the tower first started in May 2007 when Epcor Utilities began seeking proposals from developers to lease of office space for their 1,100 employees in downtown Edmonton. It was announced on December 7, 2007, that the company had chosen Qualico to provide the space with the construction of new office tower on the Station Lands site by the CN Tower. Epcor would entered into a 20-year lease to become the anchor tenant of the tower with an option for a 15-year renewal. The structure would be certified to a silver standard or higher under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program. LEED certification is a widely used standard for reducing energy, water and other resources in buildings. With the construction of the building, Edmonton would get its first new office tower in 17 years. Due to the nature of the anchor tenant, the building has been nicknamed the "Power Tower". Construction of tower started in the spring of 2008 and was completed in 2011. In April 2008, Edmonton City Council approved $45 million in funding to run a rapid transit line through the basement of the new building. Also in April, Qualico announced plans to bid on the right to host a new Canadian national portrait gallery in the new building. However, the federal government scrapped the plan later in the year. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Epcor Tower」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
