Fenwick Tower, Halifax

Fenwick Tower is a residential apartment building in the south end of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. At 98 metres and 33 storeys in height, it is the tallest building in Atlantic Canada and the tallest residential structure in Canada east of Montreal. The building was completed in 1971 and was officially named Fenwick Place, though most Halifax-area residents referred to it as Fenwick Tower. It occupies a property between Fenwick Street and South Street; it takes its name from Fenwick Street, which in turn honours Sir William Fenwick Williams, former Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia.
