It's going to take a great many years to absorb the "glut" of office space in Calgary. That pretty much eliminates the construction of a new tower let alone a new tallest for a long time. Meanwhile Edmonton's Stantec Tower is set to become the new tallest outside Toronto this year (823ft). The 900 plus footer Aldritt tower to be built in Edmonton is slated to commence construction in the Fall but they do have some hurdles to overcome such as an old mine at the site. The building is approved though and I believe it will be built.................... eventually.
I'm not overly thrilled about all of this but let's not forget we in Calgary have an awesome Skyline!!!!
