About The Bow

The Bow is a 236-meter office tower in downtown Calgary and, at 58 stories, one of the tallest structures in the city. The Canadian energy company EnCana used the building as its headquarters before it was taken over by Cenovus, whose employees have worked there since 2012. The architecture combines modern office space with two floors of restaurants and retail and three sky gardens. One special feature is the reconstructed facade of a historic 1929 hotel, which has been incorporated into the building's exterior. You can reach the building via the city's Plus 15 skywalk network, and the upper levels offer unobstructed views of the Bow River.
