This is the Bow Tower, located in Calgary Alberta. It takes it's name from the Bow River which runs through Downtown Calgary. The original tower is 236 meters and 58 stories tall. Completed in 2012 it is the 11th tallest tower in Canada. The construction took 6 years and cost 1.4 Billion CAD.

I was born and grew up in Calgary. So I'm always looking for any excuse to build something from my home town. And the Skyscraper Contest is a great reason to build!

This version of the Bow Tower is 140 blocks tall, and with the base 132 blocks wide. I have constructed 2 cafes, a security desk in the main foyer, and an office on the first floor. It also includes 6 levels of parking underneath the tower; as well as street access to the parkade. But maybe most importantly, it includes "Wonderland" (Known by locals as"the head") which stands outside the real Bow Tower.

I left the Tower mostly empty on purpose. After the Contest is over this will still be a project on PMC. Whoever downloads this (and hopefully some people will), is encouraged to put whatever they like inside.

I hope you enjoyed reading this, and hopefully it fits into whatever project you are working on.

Quite the nice base skyscraper you got. Nice form of it.
I do think some more attention to detail (-> making a base floor & mc-edit the floors up for example) would make things better.

Either way, have fun fellow contestant!
