In spite of the pandemic – or because of it – the city’s technology sector continues its impressive growth.

Calgary’s booming technology scene is exactly that – booming. Even with the pandemic nearly behind us, the market has remained strong.
For example, as part of its $17 billion investment in operations, infrastructure and spectrum across Alberta through 2026, TELUS recently opened TELUS Sky, a new state-of-the art headquarters in downtown Calgary. Standing 60 stories high and spanning 750,000 square feet of office and retail space, this project achieved LEED platinum certification.
“Our $400 million development continues our legacy of making powerful contributions to advance the economic strength and social vitality of both the city of Calgary and the province of Alberta,” says TELUS president and CEO Darren Entwistle in a GlobeNewswire press release.
“Over the past century, TELUS has invested $60 billion in network infrastructure, operations and technology across the province, and will create a further 8,500 family-supporting jobs.”
TELUS Helps Revitalize City Block
Moreover, as the transformative centrepiece of a revitalized city block, Entwistle says TELUS Sky sets a new standard of excellence in architectural beauty and environmental sustainability, exceeding the global standard for leadership in energy and environmental design.
“We are exceedingly proud that TELUS Sky will continue to build a friendly future for everyone who lives, works, and serves in the great City of Calgary.”
