Nice! Love the third picture, with those spires. And the last one shares a similarity with some views of Hamilton from the west end... minus all the generic apartment buildings, with substantial office towers added.

Tour de la Bourse is one of my favourite buildings in Montreal... actually Canada. It looks great in black and white too.

Hamilton has stuff on it's mountain. That's got to count for something right?

Montreal needs a Ben Lomond Place atop Mount Royal's slope.

Only a corner of the podium was built, and stands at Yonge & College today, as seen here: http://goo.gl/maps/GCZEs
I'm hoping Toronto will one day finish building it. They'd have to take down the MacLean Hunter building, but I'm ok with that.

i find college park kind of overbearing, like a ceaucescu version of 40 wall street.

Same here, but then again I don't tend to like large podiums on tall buildings anyway, whether they be modern or vintage. I'd rather see just the tower portion built right from street level.

It really will. Once Brookfield and Telus Sky are up in 2018, there will be a nice cluster across those 2 blocks. Suncor in front of the Bow, Brookfield directly beside Telus Sky.

I counted something like 16 to 17 cranes right next to the Gardiner, including the 3 massive cranes for Harbour Plaza and One York at :32 and 1:12.

Awesome video, gives you a real perspective on the construction behemoth.

Man, Aura is a monster!! I love that shot of Calgary. Looking to the east like that makes the buildings look the height that they really are! Some of the other angles, not so!

It would look better if the podium were smaller, and/or the tower fatter and taller.
