I'm really sick of seeing Calgary twins, but I do like these ones. I thought the mountain peak roof line was a tacky the first time I saw the rendering, but the finished product looks wonderful.

For twins they're pretty good. I still like the Dome/Home tower as my favorite twins in Calgary......

I have to go with Bankers for fav twins. Incorporating the historic building, the 2 colours (though very late 80's / 90's gold and silver), lighting element.

It's the fact that the "uniqueness" is deminnished with 2 buildings the same height/same design. I don't care for any of it. And says something about the builders designers in Calgary! Lazy and unimaginative. It's changing, but too many mistakes have been made.

IAllthose twins have made calgary a bad boy. When you look at the plus side to all those twins...density iswhat you get. Lets face it whithout all tose twins our city wouldent be half as eye poppingly massive as it apears today.. so i for one believe that, allthough they may be ugly on their owne, as a whole they are the true meat that makes calgarys skyline the dence beast that it is today. So they a are more of a plus than not

Whiteford: That's right! Calgary doesn't have density problem when it comes to the city core and immediate surronding area.

True..as is the case with many cities..NYC, Chicago etc.... there are alot of boring buildings in the mix, but together as group...great.

I still have Bankers Hall as my favorite twins in the city, will wait and see if EAP takes the title away from them.

You get a good sense of how little the core section of each level is, before they come and put in the steelwork...the first tower looks so much bigger right now...

These are nice, but at the rate Calgary is growing you might not be able to see them in 20 years. I wish this second one were 71 floors; or taller than the first one.
