Rice Howard Place is an office tower complex in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada that was completed in 1983. It is located at 10060 Jasper Avenue in the heart of Downtown Edmonton. It is home to several long term tenants such as Grant Thornton, APEGA, Ernst & Young, Chadi & Company, Imperial Equities, Duncan Craig LLP and Edmonton Transit. The namesake of the complex was Scotiabank, but was renamed in April of 2022 to Rice Howard Place after the move out of the anchor tenant, Scotiabank, to the new Stantec Tower at 10220 103 Ave.
