For edmonton. Details will likely trickle out in the next few weeks, I'm sure. Image provided by an Edmonton SSP'er in the know.

The long awaited Manulife 2.

Damn Edmonton!!! Sleek and sexy...a perfect example of less is more...
Is this the rumoured Manulife 2 building?

Nice looking tower... looks like it could be a new tallest in Edmonton.

Am I right?

Based on it's proportions in relation to commerce place, I'd say a definite yes.

Here is a picture of commerce, which you see in the rendering above. You can also see Manulife #1 to the right (The tall blue one)

The podiums to the left are where this tower would be.

(from http://www.antarcticaedu.com)

It would appear that this new tower would be quite a bit taller than manulife 1, but too hard to accurately tell.

I'm drooling over the Edmonton proposal... Wow!

No shit. Its about time Edmonton got itself a new (good looking) tower. Not only is this high above edmonton's norm, its way up there in national standards!

rapid_business · #**3073** Posted **Jul 29, 2011, 11:18 PM**

Let's just say it's in another whole level compared to the last major office building under construction in Edmonton: http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?t=142475

Dale · #**3074** Posted **Jul 29, 2011, 11:33 PM**

Epcor = not bad

Manulife 2 = the chit

ue · #**3075** Posted **Jul 30, 2011, 1:45 AM**

EPCOR is nothing special tbh. It's a decent design but doesn't stand out, which is sad, considering it's height. It's just a glass box without any interesting shapes and thus does not/will not stand out like Manulife Place, Commerce Place, CN Tower, Scotia Plaza, Enbridge Tower, and now this. I have a feeling that what eventually happens in Edmonton's Arena District will be up to the standard of this new tower by AIMCo (?). I have a feeling this building (if built) will age very well.

The Manulife 2 proposal looks pretty sweet. Pound for pound one of the nicest projects going on in the country right now.

rapid_business · #**3078** Posted **Jul 30, 2011, 3:37 AM**

/\ Knock on wood. Nothing official announced yet.
