^ cool, that would be for something at ground level 56km away right?

how could one determine at what distance away you can see a mountain top 8500' high?

That would only apply on a perfect sphere. In this instance, the distance to horizon given by the building's elevation would be added to that of the mountains'.

Above sea level: Edmonton 671m plus Stantec Tower 250m = 921m minus Mt. Coumbia @ 3742m equals 2821m to equalize above sea level.
-----
190km / 112 miles perfect sphere per ringbell.

I stand to be corrected.

^ It's seniors housing isn't it? Balconies seem like they would not be very useful or possibly even dangerous if so.

It is also a very basic massing, balconies are very possible.

No, not seniors housing. And I believe there are balconies, that's just a massing model.
