Insane shots all around, but this one showing the Bell centre project really blew me away. I hope this dude photographs the same spot in say, 3 years time!
An interesting statistic I just learned. If all of Calgary's proposals and UC come to fruition(unlikely for some), by the end of this boom, Calgary will have 76 buildings over 100 meters. We are already 2nd in the country for buildings over 100 meters (on the municipal scale, not metro... I think we're 3rd for metros), and that would seriously solidify that position. Pretty cool. I didn't even know we were 2nd.
Toronto has more 100 meter+ projects than the other cities combined, yes of course.
In the next 2 to 3 years Toronto will come back to the pack. Probably only slightly ahead of Vancouver Metro by 2016/2017 with Calgary and Montreal close behind as well.
The developers in Toronto are peeling off construction capacity. Once construction capacity is gone there will be a very, very long time to ramp up agian. Also a lot of workers will move to Alberta when things get slow, adding additional burdens on ramp up.
I think it's interesting how Edmonton's skyline only really stretches off in the one direction. There's a bit the other way, and then what looks like a sea of warehouses. Is the a geological reason for that, or just an oddity of growth?
