Centre Point Place is a four-storey commercial office property in Downtown Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Located at 10205 101 Street NW, the building forms an integral low-rise office and broadcast component of the Edmonton City Centre complex. Originally built as part of the Edmonton Centre development to house a flagship Woodward's department store, the building was subsequently occupied by The Bay before its upper floors were converted into Class A office and broadcast facilities as Centre Point Place in the early 2000s.
History The structure was completed in 1974 as part of the original Edmonton Centre retail development, serving as the department store anchor for Woodward's. After the Hudson's Bay Company acquired Woodward's in 1993, The Bay occupied the former Woodward's building at Edmonton Centre. The Bay remained there until May 2002, when it relocated within the newly consolidated Edmonton City Centre complex to the former Eaton's store west of 101 Street.
The upper floors of the former Woodward's building were subsequently converted into Class A, urban warehouse-style office and broadcast space as Centre Point Place. The exact date of the conversion is unclear, but by November 2003, CBC Edmonton was scheduled to move its English- and French-language radio and television operations into a new digital broadcast facility at Edmonton City Centre. The premises became the downtown headquarters and production studios for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's Edmonton operations, including CBXT-DT, CBXFT-DT, CBX, CBX-FM, and CHFA-FM.
In November 2019, Oxford Properties sold the entire 1.4-million-square-foot Edmonton City Centre complex—including Centre Point Place, TD Tower, 102A Tower, and the retail shopping centre—to a joint venture comprising LaSalle Investment Management, Bayerische Versorgungskammer (BVK), North American Development Group (NADG), and Canderel, operating under Edmonton City Centre Inc. Following the sale, office operations and leasing management were assumed by Canderel (Humford Management).
In July 2025, mortgage lender Otéra Capital (a subsidiary of CDPQ) placed Edmonton City Centre, including Centre Point Place, into court-ordered receivership after the ownership group defaulted on nearly $140 million in debt obligations.
On August 7, 2026, an Alberta Court of King's Bench justice approved the court-ordered sale of the entire complex to Edmonton-based real estate developer Westrich Pacific, with the transaction scheduled to close by the end of 2026.
