Downtown from the Glenmore Reservoir

When I was on a walk in South Glenmore Park a couple of mornings ago, I zoomed in across Glenmore Reservoir all the way to downtown Calgary. So, even though these buildings look like they are just behind these trees, they are way off in the distance, approximately to the north east.

The Calgary Tower used to be the tallest building in the city. Now, seen next to it, the building under construction is the crescent-shaped buidling called The Bow. It will be 236 m (774 ft) tall, with 58 stories (storeys). Total cost : 1.4 billion dollars!

"The Bow is a 158,000-square-metre (1.7 million sq ft) office building currently under construction for the headquarters of EnCana Corporation. It will also be occupied by Cenovus, which was spun off of Encana in late 2009. The skyscraper will be built in downtown Calgary, Alberta. The building will be the tallest office tower in Canada outside Toronto, a title currently held by the Suncor Energy Centre's West tower, also in Calgary. The Bow is also considered the start of redevelopment in Downtown East Village. It is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2012."
