Telus Sky | 221 M / 725 FT | 58 FLOORS - Page 8

As far as local developers go, I would love to see Battistella do a major (150+ meters) residential tower. I'm not huge on Colours (the tower) but it isn't bad. If they could go the Lido/Pixel way with quality/design and do a high quality landmark type skyscraper, I think it could look amazing.

Some awesome and surprising new GIFs released of Telus Sky... programmable LED's throughout the tower

I think we're seeing our future postcard nighttime landmark.

Telus Sky is so fucking sexy.

did anyone else notice the current drawing on the diagrams page is the opposite of the site's orientation? thought it was odd...

LEDs just like on Hong Kong's buildings?

awesome. Wish they had LEDs like BOCHK tower on The Bow though.

Has site demo/site prep started? Haven't been down there in awhile.

Wow. What a stunner.

This is going to be one of the most beautiful office towers in the country when its done, during the day and at night.

Agreed. Some...like myself

might even say the nicest, but at that point it's mostly personal preference.

I thought demolition would be happening by now?

s211 · #**155** Posted **Oct 24, 2014, 5:12 PM**

Very very soon, I hear.

They've had the west half of Centre closed for the last week or so, so I would have thought they would be moving on it now.

Demolition of Art Central well under way, Telus Sky is on schedule.

This will have underground parking, no? Considering Art Central already has a basement, I imagine this shouldn't be too far behind Brookfield rising.

The digging part usually don't take long at all. Shoring is definitely needed to withstand a structure more than 20 times the previous size. The only advantage over Brookfield will be the footprint. I am guessing Telus Sky will rise more than double the rate of Brookfield. It may be an interesting race to topping out.

Having this, The Bow, and Brookfield Place almost side by side is going to be quite the site.

Was looking through Westbank's portfolio, definitely the best developer in Canada. Would love for them to build some towers in East Village and Eau-Claire.
