I assume you're referring to Toronto. Correct?

Can we get back to the topic please? With the post count, I keep thinking the Georgia has exploded or something. Roughly eyeballing it looks to have about 60 m left to go?

That's nearly 200 ft more! Yay! I hope it looks nice when it's finished. The renderings are often rather different from each other.

but Toronto has Dundas Square and the plaza infront of the city hall...

Seriously? Robson Square isn't a piece of sh*t, but it's nothing special at all...

Many people feel the way you do, and it's understandable. In fact, there is a thread about Robson Square rife with opinion from all sides. I still think it's nothing special at all because people have preconceived it that way, and let it go downhill. If imagination and energy were put into it, it COULD be the central city square it was supposed to have been all along, but there are too many people ready to kiss it off, and that leads to nothing but nothing. A shame

Not to be a total jerk about this - and not sure where our mods are - but seriously you guys, there's a Robson Square thread. You're not talking about the HG, you're talking about something two blocks away. Let's try and keep this place under control, hey? Plus, the Robson Square thread is going to be all the much better if you actually add the content there.

Good point, Alex. Threads have been "crossing wires" recently. Excuse us.

So who is at the higher elevation?
Georgia?
Jameson?

Isn't Jameson topping off soon?

Georgia I believe is on higher elevation, That and it should be much higher than most other buildings in its proximity so it should be pretty visible from afar
