I had thought family of man was being moved to the new CBE headquarters.

That way, when the old one is sold off, you still have half a block to build a new tower, and get to repurpose the headquarters as part of the lower levels. I could see retail uses, the buildings conference centre, and a health club ala Bankers Hall Club (take advantage of all the new residential going in).

It is so interesting that the CBE HQ was part of the first east downtown revitalization effort, maybe one of Calgary's only examples of full scale 'urban renewal'.

I have to wonder what our city would look like if all the renewal had happend during the Beau Arts period rather than in brutalist modernism (if our city had been 60 years older).
