The Bow, Calgary, Alberta
The Bow, future corporate headquarters for EnCana Corporation, is the first office tower of its kind in North America. Its signature design, as provided by Lord Norman Foster's internationally renowned architectural practice, Foster + Partners, firmly situates EnCana and Calgary, Alberta at the forefront of the global business arena that defines 21st century commerce.
Matthews Southwest Developments (MSW) is developing this landmark 58-storey tower, which is the first significant mixed-use development east of Centre Street in downtown Calgary, a vibrant city of over one million people.
Upon completion in 2011, The Bow will not only be a one-of-a-kind workplace experience for EnCana employees, but its distinctive arrival on the Calgary skyline also provides a new urban destination at its base for Calgarians and visitors.
MSW is coordinating the complex structural design behind the building's strong graphic sensibility. The firm has engaged some of the best construction and design practitioners from around the world, including the brightest local talent. In collaboration with its contracted partners, MSW is using progressive design and construction methods to build this striking Calgary icon.
