The complex is home to Brookfield Place East, a 56-storey 247 m (810 ft) office tower, which, upon its completion in 2017, became the tallest building in Calgary, exceeding The Bow.

The Brookfield Place complex was designed by London and Toronto-based architecture firm Arney Fender Katsalidis.

The design would feature a three-storey, 50,000 square foot transparent glass pavilion connected to the City's Plus 15 pedway system, a winter garden, and numerous sustainable design features such as storm-water management and auto sharing, car pooling and electric plug-in parking facilities.

The second incident on October 29 saw a panel from the 23rd floor break, causing shards of glass to fall on the street below.
