The EnCana Office Complex is a planned highrise complex being built in downtown Calgary, Alberta by EnCana Corporation, North America's second largest natural gas producer. Early schematic design concepts suggest that the project may consist of a complex of towers (perhaps two or more) over two blocks. The tallest of these towers could be 60-stories tall, which would make it taller than the current tallest tower in Western Canada, the Petro-Canada Centre (also in Calgary). Conflicting reports now suggest that it will be one single tower around 70 stories tall and possibly over 1000 feet(305m)making it the tallest building in Canada. The project will eventually house all 3,300 Calgary-based employees, currently located at five different sites throughout the city. With an estimated 2-million square-feet of total office space, the complex is expected to be the city's largest. The towers will be Canada's tallest-built since Toronto's Scotia Plaza, completed in 1988. Construction costs are estimated to reach C$580 million.

The management company in charge of the project is Texas-based Matthews Southwest, with architectural services being furnished by UK-based Foster and Partners. Construction is currently scheduled to begin in 2007, and is expected to be completed by 2010.
