edit: I think that might be right based on where the tower is, and then coming east from there that would be 9th avenue, so one block south 9th avenue. Possibly the SW portion of the eventual Plaza site...a combination of standard era Calgary downtown buildings, similar to what is down Stephen Ave and a parking lot. And then further north from there, from the other photo, you have a larger downtown non descript building. And somewhat matches the aerial photos from the link Getbak provided.
The building on the lower left corner is the building Teatro is in. That partk plaza is where the the current Telus Convention Center is, north of the Glenbow.
