The Bow front and centre on Calgary sublease market
When the Bow tower was built in 2012 in the heart of Calgary, it was a symbol to the rest of the world the city was an economic powerhouse.

One year ago: Artis REIT’s future is more America, less Alberta
Eight months into 2016, it is fair to characterize the year as tumultuous and transformational for Artis REIT.
