Norman Foster to Design EnCana's Calgary HeadquartersEnCana Corp., Canada's biggest natural gas producer, has hired British architect Norman Foster to design its new headquarters in downtown Calgary.
London-based Foster and Partners was picked last week as the lead architect for the new headquarters, EnCana spokeswoman Almas Kassam said in a telephone interview yesterday.
Construction is scheduled to start in 2007 and is likely to be completed by 2010.
The proposed complex will be the largest office tower west of Toronto and Canada's highest since the 68-storey Scotia Plaza was built in Toronto 17 years ago.
Mr. Foster's projects include Swiss Reinsurance Co.'s 40-storey tower, the "gherkin" -- in London's financial district, the new Wembley Stadium in London and Germany's federal Parliament building in Berlin.
