The Bow will eventually house all of EnCana's Calgary-based employees, presently located at five different sites throughout the downtown core. With an estimated 158,000-square-metre total office space, the office complex is expected to be the city's largest. The building, at 58 stories, will also be the tallest office tower in Canada outside of Toronto.
Groundbreaking took place on June 13, 2007. The foundation was continuously poured over 36 hours on May 11 and 12, 2008, making it the largest of its kind in Canada, and third largest in the world. Some 14,000 cubic metres (490,000 cu ft) of concrete filled the 2,787 square metres (30,000 sq ft) foundation.
Erection of the above-ground steel superstructure began in October 2008, with the installation of the first of two Favelle Favco heavy lift tower cranes. The Bow is estimated to be completed in 2011.
