10104 103 Ave (formerly known as the Bell Tower, Canada Trust Tower, and Canadian Commercial Bank Tower) is a 32-storey commercial skyscraper in downtown Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Located near the Ice District, the AA-class office tower is pedway-connected to neighboring amenities, including the MNP Tower, Sandman Signature Hotel, and Edmonton City Centre shopping mall.
History The building officially opened on March 23, 1982, as the Canadian Commercial Bank Tower (also referred to as the CCB Tower). Developed by Oxford Development Group as part of Phase 1 of its Edmonton Centre West project at a cost of $75 million, the glass-and-aluminum tower served as the headquarters for the Canadian Commercial Bank - which occupied six floors - until the institution's failure in 1985. A 60-foot granite wall sculpture by artist John Weaver was unveiled at the building's official opening.
In May 1986, following Canada Trust's acquisition of a co-ownership stake in the property through its subsidiary Truscan Realty Ltd., the building was renamed the Canada Trust Tower.
In May 2000, owner Oxford Properties Group announced that the building would be renamed the Bell Tower after Bell Canada signed a lease for space in the building. Following the expiration of the naming rights agreement, current owner Aspen Properties rebranded the building to its street address, 10104 103 Ave.
