Built to overlook the old Canadian National rail yard, the building's basement once housed Edmonton's main passenger railway station, until the Canadian National railway tracks leading to Downtown Edmonton were removed in 1988. Since then, passenger trains serving Edmonton have stopped at the VIA Rail Canada terminal situated near the Edmonton City Centre Airport.
