Almost every view of the skyline one of the Top 5 is missing. Not having the 1250 is as bad as not seeing the Bourse from the lookout.

Indeed. Although this is rapidly happening now to Toronto, given the huge volume of tall condo towers rapidly crowding out the bank behemoths.

This is about the only angle where Le 1000 looks like the city's tallest.

I wonder if Telus Sky will be visible from this angle? If so this will become our new signature shot of DT.

Shots like these of Vancouver always make me imagine Godzilla coming to destroy the city.

I was thinking more about the density and height, but since you say that...

Manila

IsaganiZenze's

Chose these two as they rank around the same as Toronto in Skyline... Singapore and Jakarta might also be good examples...

^Yeah, looks more like Melbourne than Toronto by a long shot.

Give the 2014 Godzilla a watch then. You can spot a number of Vancouver landmarks in 'San Francisco'.

Should be visible, because Hanover place sits right in the middle in this shot( and Telus Sky is South of that). will be a sweet angle!

lol, yeah, I can't wait to go up there, have a drink on the outdoor terrace on the 44th floor, or eat at the Les Enfants Terribles restaurant.

ticket price to visit, 19$, free if you have a reservation at Les Enfants Terribles.
they expect 300,000 visitors per year.

could be 12$, I don't know. Sensiblement le même prix que pour monter dans la tour Olympique.

I read somewhere that they deliberately built PVM on the highest ground in downtown. I wonder if PVM's observatory is actually higher than any other tower when you consider height above sea level.
