CALGARY | Nexen Building | 499 FT / 152 M | 37 FLOORS | 1982

My favourite Calgary building, designed CPV Group Architects and Engineers and constructed during Calgary's last Oil Boom. She's not overly tall, but the resemblance to a razor blade makes this a nice addition to the skyline. All photos by me.

I love Nexen. One of the best modernist towers in Canada. Seeing as how we've come full circle and modernism is in again, I still think it kicks the butt out of the new modernist boxes going up around the country.

The Oh Canada restaurant in the bottom level is also pretty good!
