The Great Canadian Skyline Thread! II

An often seen angle of Montreal skyline, but a nice one nonetheless.

Hey thanks! Glad you like them!


The Hamilton and Mississauga skylines can be seen in a new timelapse driving video I have made on Highway 403 (mostly to show the HOV lanes).

Going down 'Hamilton Mountain' I could also see downtown Toronto as it was a clear day. I love the fact you can see the skyline from that far away.

The James N. Allan (Burlington) and Garden City (St. Cathrines) skyways on the QEW can offer some great views of Toronto as well.

Great photo of Suncor Energy Centre west and the surrounding area!

A good chunk of the reason I want to see Hamilton's skyline grow is to have awesome double skyline shots. If Mississauga grows too we could have triple skyline shots.

Also it seems like making the whole highway HOT would probably help with congestion. Though would probably be an election loser.

Some cell phone pics of the skyline I took within the past month...

An incredible photo of Calgary's Beltline by SurrealPlaces!

Here are some rare Ottawa skyline pics. Once some of our taller projects are done in a few years we'll be able to contribute some better ones.

Hey could somebody make a list of all the office towers Toronto has had constructed/or are currently under construction since the commercial boom began in 2007. Off the top of my head I can think of:

-Bay Adelaide W (715ft)
-Bay Adelaide E (645ft)
-100 Adelaide W (617ft)
-One York (535ft)
-The RBC Center (607ft)
-Southcore: PWC (410ft), Bremner (440ft)
-RBC Waterpark Place (460ft)

Am I missing anything?

Nice. Is there a Montreal-style height limit in hamilton? Most building heights seem to stop below the escarpment.

I know Carmen's will likely be, but what's the other?

He's probably thinking of Bella Towers? But I doubt it will rise above the Escarpment. Even the Olympia at 33 floors doesn't poke up above the Escarpment in that pic.

[Chadillaccc]

He's probably talking about the Connaught redevelopment, but that won't be built by 2015... I'd be surprised if it was UC by 2015, the main tower at least.
