Do we know how this compares to the Bow's slab? ("The largest continuous building foundation concrete pour in Canadian history").

Also, will the building be all steel construction (like the Bow), steel with a concrete core (like the Suncore Energy Centre or Eighth Avenue Place), or all concrete (like most of the other Calgary towers)?

The Bow was 15,000 cubic metres, at roughly 2 tonnes per metre, so 30,000 tonnes.

As a comparison, the slab for the Bow had 2500 tonnes of rebar.

Just asking, maybe this was asked before sorry, but will there be some kind of observation deck?

It will be steel with concrete core.
