EnCana zeroes in on key downtown Calgary properties

Archiseek / Canada / News / 2005 / December 19

It's the ultimate Christmas shopping spree - at least if downtown real estate is your thing. Agents for EnCana Corporation, Canada's biggest natural gas producer, are telling some of the few remaining property owners in a two-block area of this city's downtown core that all land deals with them have to be tied up six days before Christmas. That's when EnCana Corporation is set to hold the first formal meeting of its three architectural firms for the biggest urban renewal project in Western Canadian history. The three-day meetings, involving two Calgary architectural firms, start Dec. 19th and will be held in London, England, the hometown of EnCana's "signature" architect, Foster and Partners. According to Neil Richardson, one of the few remaining property owners who hadn't yet agreed to sell, EnCana's agents were pushing hard to sew up the three buildings he owns at the corner of 1st St. S.E. and 5th Ave before those meetings begin.
