'''Stephen Avenue Place''' is an office and retail hub in [[The Core (shopping centre)|The CORE]] in [[downtown Calgary]], [[Alberta]], Canada. The building was constructed concurrently with [[Scotia Tower]] in Vancouver, and the designs of the two towers followed similar concepts. Located at 700 2nd Street SW, it stands at 155 metres (509 feet) or 41-storeys tall and was the tallest building in [[Calgary]] at the time of its completion.

Formerly known as the Scotia Centre, after its namesake tenant [[Scotiabank]], the building was purchased by Slate Asset Management in 2018 and was extensively renovated.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://calgaryherald.com/business/commercial-real-estate/real-estate-experts-see-optimism-in-next-chapter-for-downtown-office-market |title=Around Town: Renovated Stephen Avenue Place has become a destination retail centre |last=Parker |first=David |newspaper=Calgary Herald |date=2021-09-27 |accessdate=2022-07-04}}</ref>
