^Wow. That really gives a good idea of just how many projects are proposed/under construction in this city and their impact.

Fantastic. I'd delete L/M permanently. That is never going to be built. Plus they are a stain on the skyline.

I'd add aura as well. Even though the renderings aren't public. It is about 24 floors, looks very similar to Chocolate. It is at 12th ave and 9th street.

^^ That reminds of a photo thread from years ago that someone posted of Pyongyang North Korea. He asked some city official for directions to get close to the Ryungyong hotel and the official denied that such a thing existed even though it was clearly standing in the background right behind him.
The main difference here is that L/M is uglier as rendering on paper that Ryunyong is as a concrete shell actually standing.

Lausanne and Montreux do serve one useful purpose: they help mask the view of the even uglier Vantage Pointe when looking from the west (as shown in CtrlAltDel's second rendering).

Wow, looking at that picture of all the new projects, it's like adding an entire new skyline from an existing city to an already awesome skyline of another existing city...weird. Like just the new projects alone if they were the only buildings would be a better skyline than many North American cities

When you think about how many projects are going on and how few cranes you can actually see from outside of downtown, imagine what it's gonna look like when all these buildings start getting some height...it's gonna look like a Chinese city

Which? The latest image I created is new, but not the last image on the first page. That was back in August.
Which reminds me, I'll add the latest to the front page now.

Thank you sir Glad you enjoy them.
Edit: I prefer the aerial views, which show more buildings. I'll post the aerial panoramic I'm working on when I'm finished.

What is the tall Building to the right of PLT?

Bingo! It's just a stand-in. Hopefully the real thing turns out much better.

Ok, here it is. Approx. 55-60 projects, give or take. Double-checked by the downtown master himself, Mr. Boris2k7 (Chris Davis).
I included Lausanne & Montreux, because technically, they're still proposed. No matter what I do I can't make them look nice, so I apologize.

Fantastic job Devin. I notice that you still show two Penny Lane towers. Is it not officially a one tower project now - just asking.
