^ Nice. Do you know where is the Trump tower going to pop out?

I don't think I've posted this shot before. It's Hamilton as seen descending Hwy 6 from Waterdown.

A whole bunch of Hamilton skyline shots:

i didn't realize how much MLS influences the skyline from the water... wow!

Yep ... Same height as the new RBC tower and much, much closer to shore. The first Ice tower is as tall as well.

Coldrsx · #**2206** Posted **Aug 7, 2009, 4:41 PM**

^ice... maybe the WORST name ever.

i still am not a fan of the two renderings but i will reserve judgement until i see more.

It's unbelievably tacky but at least it relates to the whole MLSE concept . The same can't be said for say, San Francisco by the Bay in Pickering.

I'm not convinced either regarding the streetlevel or the crowns but, the phase first is all but a lock to be built. They have the sales and the virtually unlimited financial resources.

Trump's spire should be visible a few meters to the left of Scotia Plaza (both Scotia and Trump almost hidden behind Commerce Court and Canada Trust towers)

I've just noticed that Success is almost entirely visible in this skyline shot, even though it's not on the waterfront.
Success Tower people could use Marcanadian's pic for their advertisement...

caltrane74 · #**2209** Posted **Aug 7, 2009, 7:47 PM**

yeah, trump will be barely visible...

at least from this angle.. ... just the spire.. almost nothing else..

You don't know what Square One is. Uh huh, right.

Now you've edited your post.

^I had to look it up because I don't live in Mississauga......or Toronto.....or Onterrible.

Is that okay?

kool maudit · #**2217** Posted **Aug 9, 2009, 8:30 PM**

there was literally no reason to make an issue over that.

It's a skyline photo from the past. Some people may find it interesting.

I doubt it's the first of its kind posted and is no different than the future skyline renderings that have been posted.
