It's just the colouring and angle of that particular shot. Trust me, downtown Calgary has plenty of red/orange buildings.

PCC, that twinned condo tower just recently built, about 6 billion podiums in the Beltline... There are also a lot of low (10-20 storey) towers downtown that are very reddish, but they're dwarfed by the biggies from that angle.

No, I mean colourful. Not red like red brick, but red like a giant glass Coke can. Blood red.

Another stellar creation! Well done.

Thanks! Petro-Canada Centre is starting to shrink like the Calgary Tower.

The north end of downtown seems to have it's act together, it's the beltline that's a mess...I'm sticking with the north/northeast shots for awhile...

Awesome work Devin! Amazingly, You've outdone yourself again!

I think the editors at the Sun might go into epileptic seizures if someone built a blood red tower.

Well that's just a bonus. I'm a fan of in-your-face type buildings.

Yes, but from that angle, Canterra Tower is obscuring almost all of it anyway.

Amazing C-A-D !
Whenever I need a pick-me-up I just come here and gawk and get excited again.
Thanks

Hey CAD,
I just turned on my tv to an old Cabbie piece on The Score, from Stampede. When the used a skyline shot for a transition I noticed something weird, it was one of your renderings what was really odd though is how old it was. It's from the Scottsman hill vantage point, looking over the Big 4 Building, with both Nuera towers, a built out Keynote, the Calgary Tower balls, the [I]original[I]EAP rendering and a placeholder for The Exchange. Also, no Bow. Do you have any idea which one I'm talking about? Your work must be showing up high in google searches.
