Office workers to start moving into The Bow building

Hundreds of office workers will start moving into The Bow building in the next couple of weeks.

The lower floors of the massive office tower downtown are nearly ready so desks and other equipment for employees with Cenovus will be moved in soon.

The huge moving job will happen in stages.

Bill Christensen, of Mathews Development the company responsible for building the Bow said the carpets are in on the lower floors now. Coffee stations, photocopy rooms and washrooms are all ready to go.

The moving trucks will soon start bringing in office furniture and other equipment overnight, a process that will take weeks.

Christensen says up to 23 floors will be ready for employees with oil company Cenovus over the next few months.

Meanwhile, construction continues on the upper floors.

He says 1,000 construction workers are still on site, completing the upper floors for the other tenant, Encana, which wants to be in their new home by the end of the year.
