First Canadian Place, the tallest in Canada is 72 stories... it would be interesting to see if Encana would entertain thoughts of going after the title...
Whatever the case, I hope they they really choose a design that's daring and long lasting, instead of the "build it cheap" approach. Not saying that we need a Petronas Towers type of thing but something a little bit more distinctive like Bankers Hall versus the humdrum of TransCanada's tower.
Looking at the available land in the area, I suspect the Penny Lane location to be the most likely for Encana. Somewhere along 9th is a possibility I guess, either on the old Post Office or the parking lot next to the Grain Exchange building.
