That looks good!

From the north, as mentioned, you will see essentially an entire new skyline.

A little out of date, ie. manu 2, encore, no ultimo, stantec and delta not really representative, but you get the idea of impact.

The looking West view from Capilano Bridge will be most impressive IMO. In effect, it will basically double the impact of our skyline and completely transform Edmonton's image. Delta, Stantec, COE, KR should all be fairly prominent from that vantage point as well as the Healy Ford towers, Jasper House and Ultima + Encore.

If 102st would go ahead, that would be a great impact from Southern vantage points.

A reminder of 102st Centre's impact without anything else.

Is Imperial Oil still planning to build a 200+m office building in Calgary or was that shelved?
Are there any other possibilities besides Oxford for a 200+m building?

Imperial decided to go with a campus-style office in the brownfield Quarry Park development.

The Oxford development rendered above is on the IOL site.

Imperial sold the lot downtown that Oxford is now proposed on.
Imperial is moving to a corporate campus about 12 kms south of downtown

. For that reason I avoid buying gas at Esso now

Still lots of possibilities for +200m towers downtown though. I'm confident many will happen, just not until the next cycle (3-5 years

).

EDIT: Beaten to it by M&Y.

My favourite view of Edmonton is from the north, driving on the Henday across the Cambell Road overpass. Kilometers of houses and then all of a sudden the city centre.

A VERY rough sketch (by me) of what Montmorency station surroundings in Laval could look like in about 5-7 years, as seen from CEGEP Montmorency :

Projects : Place Bell (far left), Espace Montmorency (the cube-shaped building behind UdeM Campus) and Urbania 2 (the buildings in the right half).

There is still an empty lot just across the street, I hope they will come up with a cool project! (I think the city wants to build a Great Library somewhere in Laval, IMO that would be the perfect spot!)

I agree, a Great Library would be perfect on that location.

Great job for the sketch!

I believe the empty lot you refer about is owned by Université de Montréal. Plans originally called for two buildings for the university.

That is amazing. Thanks. I would not be surprise if the region's next tallest building is to be constructed in Laval.

Is a great library like a central library?

Future Skyline along Trillium Line north of Somerset in Ottawa.:

Unfortunately, I can't find the same view today, but this is the Google Earth view of the area:

The roadway (Somerset) in the middle crossing the O-Train line is the same as the one on the future skyline image. The area is mostly empty fields and industrial buildings dating from the 40s-60s.

Thanks to my vast skills in photoshop, I created this for you all.

itom 987 · #18 Posted **Jun 13, 2015, 1:14 AM**

I'm looking forward to seeing all those built. You forgot to include Norquest, Dub's 104 Ave. building, MacEwan University, CNIB tower and two other towers along Jasper Ave.

^^ Your Delta is also a bit short, but this does give a pretty good idea of just how much empty space is getting filled up in the next few years.

Black Star · #20 Posted **Jun 13, 2015, 6:06 PM**

Need Brad Lambs North in there also
