Approximately 4,000 persons are employed in the four buildings. Alberta Health Services are a major tenant of the complex, with offices located throughout the Park's buildings.

History

Development of Southland Park began in 1978.

The Southport Atrium was previously occupied by Fluor Daniel.

In 2003, Southland Park was declared the Winner of a Building Owners and Managers Association of Calgary (BOMA) Award in the Suburban Office Park (Mid-Rise) category.[3]

In 2009, development of Southland Park was completed with the installation of a pedestrian overpass from the Southport Tower to the Southland LRT station.[4]
