Unfortunately, I think we could have seen a building in the 800' range had the site been in another location. Remember how they had to reduce the number of sky lobby floors and fatten up the floorplates all the way out to the atrium glass for more square footage? That could have easily been done with a few more floors instead in a different location.

Are you talking about Gwyn Morgan? I'm pretty sure his retirement was planned in advance, but I believe he did speak to how The Bow would be a landmark for Calgary. I can't see him getting the boot for it, the guy pretty much built Encana into the giant it was back when they announced the project. He was your typical Calgary "Maverick".
