I especially like the last shot EF. I hope the Legion doesn't fall into the Bow pit!

fantastic pics harlito! Ottawa's core density more than makes up for its lack of height!

Montreal current tallest u/c at 21 floors, 16 left to go!

The curved four storey corner building in the Montreal photos is interesting. I guess it could be considered Art Nouveau. It's fairly modest but there are very few examples of that style in Canada.

I miss seeing that kind of varied streetscape. Vancouver's infill buildings are arguably of a much higher level of quality overall (partly that's just because the condos themselves are worth millions) but there's something to be said just for having a variety of buildings and a level of unpredictability, even if what you find is not always perfect.

Hopefully that highrise building won't have too much precast cladding. That is just ugly.

How come no pictures of the big raft slab pour for the Bow??

Am I just looking in the wrong place?

Anyway here are some pics a friend of mine who works for Ledcor took:

Check out in the last shot how the one pump truck is barely visible behind the wall of the slab... sure is deep!

Thanks for adding these pics of the Bow from your Ledcor friend. The Bow has its own thread if you want to add them there too and check for updates.

Jamieson Place.
Arc Energy is leasing 200,000 sq ft and I can't remember who the other tenant is going to be, but I believe all the office space is leased.

From the website: http://www.jamiesonplace.com
The building is named after Alice Jamieson who came to Calgary in 1902. In 1913, Mrs. Jamieson was appointed judge of a juvenile court in Calgary, becoming the first female to be appointed to any judiciary in the British Empire. In 1916 she was also appointed police magistrate to hear women's cases. Throughout her career, Jamieson was active in the community and women's suffrage movement. She belonged to a number of organizations, including the YWCA and Calgary's Local Council of Women.

From left: Sun Life Plaza (Suncor), BP Place, and Fifth Avenue Place west tower (Esso/IOL)

behind the white crane is Bow Valley Square 3, red brick Canada Place, and the mirrored "Alberta Stock Exchange" which doesn't really exist anymore. To the right of Jamieson is the Westin Hotel.
