Who Works Here?
Many different groups and companies have offices in the Edmonton Tower. These groups are called "tenants."
- The City of Edmonton uses many floors, from the 3rd floor to the 19th floor. They moved in when the tower first opened.
- Kids & Company has a child care center on the 4th floor. This center is a safe place for kids to stay while their parents work. It also opened with the tower.

- Sorrell Financial is another company with offices in the tower. They started working there in early 2017.
Cool Video Display
The top four floors of the Edmonton Tower have a special feature. A huge video display covers the outside glass. This display uses many tiny lights called light-emitting diodes (LEDs). It can show amazing images and patterns.
The display was put in place while the building was being built. It was first turned on in January 2017. The company that built the tower, One Properties, said that the Oilers Entertainment Group helped with this project. This makes the tower a bright and exciting part of the city, especially at night.
