“Stantec employees are extremely proud of our new headquarters,
a project that positively reflects the talent, innovation, and
creativity of our team members,” says Stantec president and chief
executive officer, Gord Johnston. “We can already feel the impact
that ICE District has on our City, and we’re excited to be part of
the transformational revitalization in downtown Edmonton. Stantec
was founded as a one-person operation in Edmonton in 1954. Now a
Top 10 global design firm, we are excited to confirm our commitment
to the city where our Company began.”
Since the project’s inception, 343 Stantec employees have worked
over 145,000 hours on the Stantec Tower. Stantec provided full
architecture and engineering services for the Company headquarters,
which is targeting LEED® Gold certification (exterior), LEED®
Silver certification (interior), and FitWel certification. Stantec
Tower introduces a number of unique features for office space in
Edmonton, including a dedicated multi-faith prayer room, lactation
room, and gender-neutral washrooms. The office features an open
community staircase that looks onto ICE District and Roger’s Place,
and the floorplates are modeled as open concept workspaces with
minimal offices to encourage collaboration. Stantec also provided
interior design support for SKY Residences.
“It is exciting to see one of ICE District’s most iconic
landmarks officially open,” says Glen Scott, President of Katz
Group Real Estate. “We are proud to welcome Stantec employees to
their official new home in the heart of downtown Edmonton and
continue to showcase how ICE District is shaping the future of our
city.”
Stantec employees will begin moving into the commercial space of
Stantec Tower in October 2018. Stantec Tower is expected to reach
its final height of 251 metres by the end of 2018 and SKY
Residences will be completed in Fall 2019. ICE District continues
to evolve, with Edmonton Tower already complete and JW Marriott
Edmonton ICE District well underway with an expected completion in
spring 2019.
"Having a large company like Stantec choose the downtown core as
its head office speaks to the vibrancy of our growing ICE
District,” says Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson. “We look forward to
welcoming 1,500 Stantec employees to this new building that will no
doubt contribute to furthering their innovation and success.”

District is already delivering a new era of entertainment in the
