I like how Epcor looks almost silver in those shots. it was a good choice in the cladding IMO

Err, and many observation towers double as communication masts.

There are hundreds of towers, somewhere in the neighborhood of 300.

I still think it's a bit dark, though it looks very light in those photos. It is very reminiscent of Centennial's glazing here.

Wow, nice to see Edmonton filling in! I was there lately, and on the street level, Edmonton is progressing at a very rapid rate compared to 5 years ago.

And here is a picture to prove it!

MolsonExport · #**5472** Posted **Oct 4, 2010, 9:14 PM**

define highrise, and then, lets make a list.

300 towers...right adjacent to downtown? orly?

caltrane74 · #**5473** Posted **Oct 4, 2010, 9:18 PM**

I would say highrise has to be over 12 floors...

that's just my take on the old rule we use to have here....

Daveography · #**5474** Posted **Oct 4, 2010, 9:34 PM**

Not this again...

lol, go ahead and count if you want to. I have better things to do with my time. I would say 12 floors is a reasonable definition of a highrise.

240glt · #**5476** Posted **Oct 4, 2010, 9:50 PM**

Some people who post here seem to have nothing but time LOL

I'm sure even Edmonton has several hundred buildings over 12 stories. I am not going to waste time counting either.

Calgarian · #**5477** Posted **Oct 4, 2010, 9:56 PM**

According to this site, Calgary has 299 and Edmonton has 257 highrises. That's good enough for me.
