The north tower is taller, standing at about 112 meters (367 feet) with 35 floors. The south tower is a bit shorter, at about 92 meters (302 feet) with 30 floors. Imagine how many stairs that would be!
When Were They Built?
Building these towers took a few years. Tower I was finished in 2009, and Tower II was completed in 2010. They were built by a company called Graham Construction.
Where Are They Located?
The Icon Towers are on a popular street called 104 Street, which is also known as the "Fourth Street Promenade." This area is known for being a cool and busy spot in downtown Edmonton.
