It would be neat to get a midsummer shot from this same exact location - to make a comparison - winter to summer.

Nice shot! Would be nice if that building was going to be at least 1,000 ft. tall.

Looks like the pseudo-twist (which is actually just a thinning out) is complete, and it is straight up from here.

Nice photo. Those 6' wide corner columns can't be good for interior layouts

I love it too! I'm curious how much higher it needs to go before it tops out. It doesn't seem to be much more.

The portion that goes up before the twist is the same as how much it continues going up after the twist. The vertical centre of the twisting portion is the half-way point.

Spoke to guys working at the site and they told me the bldg. is at the 40th floor or so. Looking at Telus Sky from a distance you can see there's still a ways to go and remember it's approximately 25 ft. taller than Suncor West.
The taller she goes the better she looks!!!!! Cheers!!

At the 40th floor means there’s about 18 to go.

Telus Sky from this view should reach just under Brookfield Place's crown.

25 years ago, which buildings would've been missing from that view?
