I like how Vancouver's table top skyline is being broken.

^^This is already one of the less tabletop-looking views, hence even the before pic looks quite impressive

Indeed.
I really like that view.

Future skyline of Calgary. Crude, but effective.

Awesome Van renderings. What a beauty.

Calgary will have built their top 3 tallest buildings all in this cycle. Very impressive!

Are there any decent renderings of future Edmonton with the new Stantec Tower?

Vancouver will have also built their top 4 tallest.

This has been an amazing boom in Canada since 2000.

Only the ones released in the renders for the tower.

By the end of this boom, we'll have built 4 of our 5 tallest, Suncor being the only one completed before 2011. Including the possibility of Kings on Fourth, we may have 5 of our 6 tallest built in this boom. Also, there is the very distinct possibility of another new tallest in Calgary being proposed within the next 24 months.

I hope Stanteck in Edmonton gets built... after a few mild design changes!

I meant more like a future skyline render of downtown that includes all of the approved/under construction (and possibly including the proposed) towers, not just Stantec.

Nothing yet. Stantec is a very recent proposal, and it takes time to make future renders. However, I am not sure if I have ever seen a full future render of Edmonton, other than just coloured boxes indicating whether they are proposed or UC, nothing with detailed renders of the towers in the photo though, I think.

Will Stantec be the tallest building in Canada outside Toronto and Brookfield Place? Or are there taller U/Cs out there? I'm pretty new to this forum (was inactive for about two years) so I'm out of the loop.

According to this Journal article it's supposed to be 227 metres. It's pretty much guaranteed at this point that the tower is being built, I mean there was even a big press conference with Don Iveson.

Well, at 227m it'll also be shorter than the Bow.
