It's from before the CN Tower had the lights. I can't remember exactly what it was for but it was really cool.

another one of winnipegs skylines off in the distance

Off in the distance is an understatement, I cant even see it! haha

Apologies for putting this here... but we used to have a terrific future skyline thread.

I finally added the 3 tower 16 York buildings to my render, which have an incredible impact on the city from this POV... unfortunately obscuring my beloved RBC (still one of the best skyscrapers in the world decades later).

I've also improved some buildings... and then for some reason desaturated the whole render.

Ah well, enjoy. Hope you like. I'm off to spam all those skyline threads in other forums....

P.S. the one conceit is my "twisty" Signature (rumours of an Arthur Erickson re-design)

Maldive never disappoints.

Great stuff folks - keep it coming.

How about a few "then and Now" shots from the same vantage point to compare.

It's truly a shame. There are a few office towers proposed/rumoured but nothing too significant in height. Hopefully with the additional (short) office space this cycle, we'll be able to handle a larger tower or two next cycle.

There is a total of 4 new office towers in the works (GM Place,Bentall6,Amacon,and a newly rumoured one from reliable sources) sadly the majority of them are in the 300-450 ft range with only the Amacon tower having the potential of being the city's new tallest.

Nice Render Maldive.

I like the New Signature Tower you've created. Can't wait to see what it will actually look like, and how tall it will be.
The York Development really pushes the bulk of the financial district towards the lake. That will be good for the urban feel of the rail lands in the future.
