The new Epcor Tower (28 storeys near the northeast corner of 104th Avenue and 101st Street) is slated to open in 2012. Its design will include an east-west orientation, giving its long wall a sunny southern exposure, high-performance glass to reduce heat loss and gain, and low-flow water fixtures. The building is expected to receive a silver LEED certification for low energy, water and resource use. Aqua Air Systems Ltd. has supplied HVAC components for the mechanical contractors.

It will be downtown Edmonton's first new office tower in 22 years. It will provide 265,000 square feet of head-office space for the city-owned water and power utility on the Station Lands site over the former Via Rail station by the CN Tower. An additional 614,000-square-foot building will house retail and restaurant tenants on the first two levels. The building will have day-care and fitness facilities and 850 underground parking spaces. Unusual for an office tower, balconies have been included in the design to let the occupants go outside for a great view, fresh air, and to socialize.
