Sadly, HS height is barely noticeable from most angles.

No, just from what I've heard, and what we've seen. I hope the official renders are released soon so we have a clearer view of the roof and crown.

Sadly I figured it wouldn't be noticeable from most angles. 🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵 accountants doing the bare minimum to attain the title of new tallest. They weren't even original either since it's just the exact same height the Bow was originally proposed as.

Would HS really have that big a floor plate? I was expecting it to look much slimmer than SEC or the Bow.

It's rectangular. They just had to show the fat side from the N/S elevations. Why is it most buildings DT do this? Is it for maximum sun exposure?

Calgarian · #**725** Posted **Dec 10, 2012, 7:30 PM**

I think the fact that it won't be obviously the tallest might be a good thing. The Bow will be the jewel in our skyline's crown and that's definitely a good thing.

Balances the Bow nicely. Just need that 1000 footer on the iol site.

craner · #**727** Posted **Dec 11, 2012, 5:50 AM**

^Exactly.

Love the night time render especially. Sure hope the 2nd phase of CC starts construction before the first phase finishes.
Great work as always CAD.

I'll be in my grave by the time we get a 1000 footer!

Then you'll rise up as an angry ghost to haunt the developer that waited so long!

Great Renderings!!
Ctrl. Did you allow Optiko Eyewear to use your images? I was in there (sunridge mall) getting some glasses and they had one of your original renderings as their wallpaper? I could tell it was yours because it had the old rendering for pennylane.

Had no idea. Was it this one?

Surrealplaces · #**733** Posted **Dec 11, 2012, 10:35 PM**

Yup, looks almost exactly like the rendering we saw.

That render is awesome. Makes Calgary look like a seriously futuristic city. Like a precursor to the Sky Cities in the Jetsons!

JBinCalgary · #**735** Posted **Dec 11, 2012, 11:27 PM**

I believe thats the one!

TallBob · #**736** Posted **Dec 12, 2012, 8:33 AM**

That render has a much taller version of the Bow, which I like. It also has the 2 building proposal for the "Exchange" site. I loved that proposal (65 & 55 floors) if I remember.

Wooster · #**737** Posted **Jul 6, 2013, 5:00 AM**

Alright CtlAltDel - get on it! I want to see Telus Sky in this view!

CtrlAltDel · #**738** Posted **Jul 8, 2013, 4:14 AM**

Here is a quick stab at it. My photoshop (and my renders) are at home, which I still cannot go back to for a few weeks, but this gives a rough idea...

TallBob · #**739** Posted **Jul 8, 2013, 5:00 AM**

Good work CtrlAltDel. Shows pretty well... Now to get some of these bigger projects off the drawing boards and start the actual construction!

Wooster · #**740** Posted **Jul 8, 2013, 5:03 AM**

Nice
