I'd like to see them tack on another 10 floors and maybe add a Taco Johns or Super Pollo to the podium!!

I'd love to see 10 floors added, that would bring it within striking range of becoming the tallest building in Canada!

TallBob · #**223** Posted **Sep 19, 2013, 5:43 PM**

10 srories would put it at about 950-960 feet! I hope it's bumped up... I think one of our master forumers/posters already know something!!

"Boring box" be damned; that is a nice looking streetscape/plaza.. Certainly makes up for the rather simple design

Design-mind · #**227** Posted **Sep 19, 2013, 7:12 PM**

The plaza has some very exciting potential.

O-tacular · #**228** Posted **Sep 19, 2013, 7:16 PM**

So do they actually plan on having famous works of art like those presented? Or is it a gallery space? Or will we only get a bronze cowboy?

I prefer my bronze cowboys with horses and cows. Maybe even a couple of wolves or bulls as well.

You got me thinking. Wouldn't it be amazing if there were a bronze sculpture of a cowboy being eaten by a bear or some wolves? That or just a cowboy fucking a cow?

Cowboy fucking a cow might be frown upon by society and their uptight "standards"

.. I would however support a bronze statue of a bull stomping a bull rider, who fell to the ground, right in the groin

I'm seeing a bronze village-person cowboy punching a cow, with a beowulf sized wolf howling at the full moon waiting to pounce, but, the waterfall's rainbow is preventing the beast from getting at the partner. Can bronze be painted multihue? Decisions

^Bull spearing a bear!?

Might be more appropriate for Wall Street.

We live in Canada eh .. All it needs are some removable boards and a couple of nets

The exterior spandrel dividing the floors is quite interesting. Creates a bit of texture - with the angled recess.

I don't know, some of you guys don't like Brookfield Plc. because it looks too boxy! I like it just because it's simple in a way.... It'll still look good 20-30 years from now! IMO
