The Home Oil Tower is a tall office building located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It stands in the heart of downtown Calgary, on a well-known street called Stephen Avenue. This building is part of a larger complex. It shares its lower levels with its twin building, the Dome Tower. The base also connects to The Core Shopping Centre and the lovely Devonian Gardens, which is an indoor park.

The Home Oil Tower is about 137 meters (450 feet) tall. It has 34 floors, which means it's quite a tall building! It was designed by a group called CPV Group Architects and Engineers Ltd. The building was finished in 1977 and was built by PCL Construction. Today, 20 Vic Management takes care of the building.

Who Uses the Building?

The main company that uses the Home Oil Tower is Canadian Natural Resources Limited. This company is a "tenant," which means they rent a lot of space in the building for their offices.
