G2S2 Capital and its Armco Alberta subsidiary announced they have acquired one of Calgary’s trophy office assets, the 1.4-million-square-foot, four-tower Bow Valley Square.

“We are excited and proud to welcome Bow Valley Square, its 200 tenants and all of our new employees into our portfolio. ” Steven Darrow, the president of Atlantic Canada and Alberta at Armco Capital Inc., said in the announcement “This acquisition is an important milestone in our growth strategy, and underscores our belief in the success of Calgary and Alberta. 

“We look forward to building upon the legacy of this landmark while upholding the standards that have established Bow Valley Square as a premier choice for businesses. “

The complex was acquired from Oxford Properties. Financial details have not been released.

Bow Valley Square encompasses approximately 1.4 million square feet of mixed-use office, retail and commercial space in four towers standing 17, 32, 37 and 39 storeys. The majority of the space is for office, while about 100,000 square feet is dedicated to retail.

Oxford conducted extensive upgrades to the property in 2019, investing about $40 million into the towers.

Oxford’s website lists about 22,500 square feet of direct space available for lease in the towers, though a current figure for its overall vacancy was not immediately available.
