Tower Centre in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, is an office tower and retail centre connected to the Calgary Tower. It is only three minutes on foot from the CTrain's 1 Street SW station and Centre Street station. It was called Palliser Square from its opening in 1969 until the name was changed to Tower Centre in November 1989.[2][3] Since 2003, Tower Centre has also been the home of Vertigo Theatre.
Former railway services
Below the half of the office and retail complex to the west of the Calgary Tower are the remains of a disused inter-city railway station. The station was formerly used by Canadian Pacific Railway, Via Rail, Rocky Mountaineer and Royal Canadian Pacific passenger train services.[4] The station is on the Canadian Pacific Kansas City railway line.
The station was completed in May 1969[5][6] to serve the Canadian Pacific Railway. Following Via Rail's takeover of Canadian Pacific's passenger services, it was managed by Via Rail until the company's January 1990 service reductions ended regular rail services to Calgary.[7] Afterwards, both Rocky Mountaineer and Royal Canadian Pacific used the station intermittently for several years as a boarding point for their rail tours.[8]
