102A Tower (originally Royal Trust Tower and later known as Midland Walwyn Tower, Merrill Lynch Tower, City Centre Place, and Oxford Tower) is a 23-storey office tower in downtown Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.[1] Standing at 102.89 metres (337.6 ft) tall, it forms part of the Edmonton City Centre complex. Completed in 1974, the building was designed by the architecture firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill.[2]

History

The tower opened on May 1, 1974, as Royal Trust Tower, as part of the first phase of Edmonton Centre.[3] Contemporary coverage described Royal Trust Tower as the development's first office tower.[4] In January 1995, after investment brokerage Midland Walwyn replaced Royal Trust as the building's largest single tenant, the building was renamed Midland Walwyn Tower.[5][6] Following the 1998 acquisition and merger of Midland Walwyn into Merrill Lynch, the building became known as Merrill Lynch Tower.[7][8] By May 2008, the building had been renamed City Centre Place.[9] In late 2013 or early 2014, it was renamed Oxford Tower.[10][11]

In November 2019, Oxford Properties sold the entire 1.4-million-square-foot Edmonton City Centre complex - including Oxford Tower, TD Tower, Centre Point Place, and the retail shopping centre - to a joint venture consisting of LaSalle Investment Management (via the LaSalle Canada Property Fund), Bayerische Versorgungskammer (BVK), North American Development Group (NADG), and Canderel, operating under Edmonton City Centre Inc.[12][13] Following the transaction, office management was assumed by Canderel (via Humford Management), and the tower was officially renamed 102A Tower.[12][13]

In July 2025, Otéra Capital (a subsidiary of CDPQ) placed the Edmonton City Centre complex, including 102A Tower, into court-ordered receivership following a default on over $140 million in debt obligations.[13]

In August 2026, an Alberta Court of King's Bench justice approved the court-ordered sale of the complex to Edmonton-based developer Westrich Pacific, with the transaction scheduled to close by the end of 2026.[14]
