Take the Pearl (far right) and put it on top of Manulife (tallest blue downtown) to get a sense of what Stantec is going to do.

Vancouver moves into the Montreal leagues in the height department.

The twin tower effect looks good.

Toronto's skyline has literally exploded since the last time I was up in the CN Tower (~1995)
