Spectacular views of the Rocky Mountains are visible by half of the building with its southwest exposure. In the summer, late afternoon sun means that the same offices will often have their blinds lowered to regulate the temperature of the offices.
The other side of the office tower looks to downtown and northeast Calgary.
