It's going to be nice when BP and Telus sky are completed. The skyline will have a more balanced look, and also have a nice core of tall towers

Imagine what this view will look like with this beauty and Telus sky in it!

^^^This photo must be from last fall as brookfield Place does not even show up in front of Bow Valley square.

Yeah, agreed.
It's really going to improve the skyline view coming in from the west on the TCH around COP.

Oh big time! anywhere on the west end it will stand out huge

BP is gonna look great from all angles. So exciting to see it begin to stick out from different parts of town.

The glass has a very high quality look to it. So very exciting. I'll hopefully be in Calgary again after christmas.

That indeed looks to be the case.

Will be a wait and see deal how that (IE stepped increases in radius) will look when completed.

Should be interesting to see how wide the radius gets by the end.

I definitely wouldn't be drawing conclusions that the facade will mimic the stepped pattern of the structure.

Core is now above 140 M.

Awesome stuff. Lots of glass now too!

Calgarian · #**1315** Posted **Oct 19, 2015, 5:19 PM**

This is turning out much better than I hoped. Can't wait to see how the crown will look, though that's probably a year away.

CorporateWhore · #**1316** Posted **Oct 19, 2015, 5:28 PM**

We should curve everything.

Calgarian · #**1317** Posted **Oct 19, 2015, 6:46 PM**

Will 707-5th use curved glass? I'm sure the end parts will be at least.

Does anyone know how many feet or stories higher Stantec in Edmonton will be? I would guess this will be Calgary's tallest for the next 10-15 years at least with all the glut of office space that'll be available.

*** NM, found it: 62 for Stantec vs 56 for Brookfield. 🞵🞵🞵🞵

You can't really compare number of floors in order to determine how much taller a building will be. At 250.8 meters tall, Stantec will be less than 4 meters taller than Brookfield Place, and with that design, will be less than half as nice of a tower
