Edmonton and Calgary had some doosies that were scrapped....both skylines would be significantly different if they had come to pass.
|
CtrlAltDel did a render of what Calgary's Skyline would have looked like if these were built. I'll try to find it.
Edit, here it is. The Bow is thrown in for reference. http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/9...beensg7fa4.jpg |
Ahh! I love all those buildings! What a loss none of them were built!
|
FCC2 and Alberta Plaza would've been awesome to have in the skyline.
|
The Alberta Plaza is my favorite. I think you could still build it with few changes.
|
I love Alberta Plaza. It's a great design. I actually based some buildings on Sketch Up out of Alberta Plaza. What a loss.
|
I like Alberta Plaza too.
Am I one of the only ones who has no love for FCC I and II? |
^Probably. FCC1 is one of the nicer buildings in Calgary.
|
a couple more of McIntyre Plaza. I think it was going to be built on the block between 6 and 7 Avenues, and 3 and 4 streets SW. I think it was to be 75 floors.

Singer City - 609.6m http://img239.imageshack.us/img239/4...971aiv3xg6.jpg Odessa - ?m http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/9...ssa1969pt9.jpg |
Oh yeah, I forgot about that Singer one. It looks like a 600m Bromley.
those McIntyre renders are cool. Too bad that one didn't get built too. |
Didn't someone have a bunch more cancelled projects?
|
Victoria Square is giant 80's fugly.

Fuck... I'm pissed off that the James Short School was torn down to build a piece of shit like that. Glad we eventually got TCPL instead though.
|
TCPL is definitely better than that would have been.
