Those renders are hilarious.

Well, it has a theme at least.

SteelTown · #**8445** Posted **Oct 30, 2013, 2:12 PM**

I think it's cute, paying homage to the Lifesavers candy.

SignalHillHiker · #**8446** Posted **Oct 30, 2013, 2:17 PM**

Why? They're from Hamilton, I guess?

My aunt used to work at the Lifesavers factory, chemistry lab. I'm sure this will bring a smile to her face too.

SignalHillHiker · #**8449** Posted **Oct 30, 2013, 2:52 PM**

Oh, well that's cool!

When I was a kid my dad used to like to take the back roads across town, and we drove past the factory often.

For me, the best days were when they were making the butterscotch candies.

Waterfront Toronto have issued an RFQ for a "leading edge innovation centre" as part of Toronto's Easy Bayfront community

This sits on Queens Quay in front of the Corus Quay Building

Looks fun.

The — is an innovation centre? Looks cool at least.

Nice looking Edmonton proposal too - with an impressive height!

Chadillaccc · #**8457** Posted **Oct 31, 2013, 10:17 PM**

The new Edmontonian proposal looks awesome! Much better than the other recently updated versions. Very futuristic. If it happens, at 278 meters it will be the 2nd tallest building in Canada in the roof height scale.

*If it happens but none of the other, taller proposals that currently exist do.

That Edmonton prop is a mess. The base looks awkward, and the top is just completely botched. Its really the 'crown" that I dislike.

If you're going to dominate that much you need a spire.
