Are these duplicate threads and we can post in both.... and if so why? Thx...

Because it is the Canadian Skyline Thread. So yes it qualifies for both. Don't worry so much about issues like that.

That's cool Chris, It is really insignificant in my opinion as well. So thier's no problem in posting pics of a canadian skyline town of 50,000 people in the main thread rather than CMA under 1 million thread. Good to know. I'll quote you. Thx for the reply.

Not a problem as long as it is a skyline pic! I have posted pictures of Guelph (100 000) when I lived there. Should have posted Woodstock too. That town was actually booming before I left.

The thread The Great Canadian Skyline thread for CMAs 1 million and under was created to give room and attention to the smaller cities since the main skyline thread was always flooded by the big cities...

I had always assumed Calgary was #2. Didn't know they haven't caught up to Montreal yet. Guess I underestimate Montreal. Only NY, Washington, Chicago, Toronto, Boston, SF, Seattle and Louisville (really???) are higher than Montreal. Before looking at those numbers, I would have guessed Calgary, Philadelhpia, Houston, Atlanta, LA, to all be higher.

Great Winnipeg shot by the way.

Rico Rommheim · #**6387** Posted **Sep 13, 2013, 12:59 AM**

Winnipeg can be proud of its skyline. It may not be the nicest or the tallest, but it's got a nice dense core of highrises. Not bad for a small northern city lost in the middle of the prairies...

This would make total sense and is great idea for obvious reasons.

Only when posters start questioning smaller cities additions and are told about the 2nd thread you mentioned would it become a topic of debate.So no debate! Love it

Because from a quick visual inspection at least, it certainly doesn't look to have a more substantial commercial core than a city like Houston.

Few drive-by shots of Metrotown from Richmond on Sunday. Too bad I didn't have the correct lens with me.

Chadillaccc · #**6392** Posted **Sep 13, 2013, 3:29 AM**

Wow those Burnaby shots are great!

Calgary's CBD looks larger than Houston and Louisville combined!

As a side, wow am I ever glad that the vast majority of those core surface lots already have a building UC or will within the next 2 years. Unfortunately, the ocean of parking along the tracks will be around for the forseeable future.

Los Angeles has to be higher than Montreal. Toronto as well.

Refer to the charts posted a few pages ago. Downtown Los Angeles has 32 million sqft. of office space. Downtown Toronto has 70 million sqft. and Montreal has about 50 million sqft. in its core, while Calgary has 40 million. So no, that would not be the case.

Interestingly, this building:

is not "downtown" office space and in fact is usually classified as "suburban"!! The older building to the right, is downtown because it has a 9th Avenue address, rather than a 10th Avenue address. (It's the one above the word Google in the above pic). Beltline adds about 5.5 or 6 million square feet to a slightly broader definition of "downtown" Calgary office.

Guess your right. LA county has 162.6 million sq ft. LA metro has 335.8 million sq ft. What's Toronto's metro, just for camparisons sake.

I have to wonder if it's lumped in with the "suburban" Toronto figures. A company like Colliers isn't bound by official definitions for downtown and suburb, and Hamilton is often considered as being part of the Toronto market when it comes to corporate presence.
