David Staples: How Tony Franceschini and Stantec reached for the sky
DAVID STAPLES, EDMONTON JOURNAL
We’ve all got our eyes on the sky as the new Stantec skyscraper reaches ever-greater heights on its way to topping out at 69 storeys and 251 metres by the end of the year, making it Canada’s tallest building outside of Toronto.
Tony Franceschini, a key player at Stantec for four decades, takes special pride in the new Stantec Tower. It represents a pinnacle for Edmonton and for Stantec, the remarkable Edmonton company founded in 1954 that has become a global leader in design and engineering.
Making the building so tall was done with a purpose, Franceschini said. “It’s not like you’re showing off, but it’s more like you’re making a statement: We are here. We have arrived. We are a global company and the city should be proud, the company should be proud and the employees should be proud that we have that.”
