Jamieson Place is a 880,000-square-foot (82,000 m2) [3] office building in the city's downtown core of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. At the time of its completion in 2009, the 173 m (568 ft) Jamiseson Place was the third tallest office tower in Calgary.
The building's winter garden is home to three hanging glass chandeliers by artist Dale Chihuly. [4]
Bentall Capital on behalf of the property owner British Columbia Investment Management Corporation, tasked Gibbs Gage Architects to design a structure at the corner of 2nd Street and 4th Avenue SW. The proposed 38 floor [1] design was inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and the vernacular landscape of the Canadian Prairies, featuring twin illuminated vertical spires capping the building at 173 m (568 ft). The design included connections to the city's Plus 15 network, and a three-story indoor winter garden. [5] The complex would also include a five level underground parkade with 500 stalls, totaling 240,000 sq ft (22,000 m2). [2]
Groundbreaking for $300-million (equivalent to $423-million in 2023) project occurred in January 2007 and construction completed in December 2009. Following construction Jamieson Place has earned BOMA Platinum status and LEED Gold status. [3]
Jamieson Place was named in honour of Alice Jamieson, a resident of Calgary who in 1914 became the first female appointed to the judiciary in the British Empire. [6]
As of 2020, Skyscraper Center, a project of the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat lists Jamieson place as the 12th tallest building in Calgary and 64th tallest in Canada. [7]
