Man I miss that place, stunning and so many hidden gems. Also far too many annoying tourists and yes I recognize the irony in that statement.

Changes are coming... Massey tower will be between the core and Aura, and plenty of stuff is rising between Aura and Yorkville; Teahouse, Wellesley on the Park, YC condos...

I really like Massey Tower (207 meters) and it's a really tall tower, but from this angle, it will be basically invisible.

YC will have the most impact in this picture, followed by Wellesley on the Park.

Karma which is at full height at 168 meters is basically invisible despite being one of the closer towers in this shot, FIVE condos actually makes a bigger impact and it's a little shorter than Karma.

I like all these moody shots. Fog and rain add a romantic, almost gothic element.

I wish there were no Habs logo on it. Cheapens it for me. Likewise I would never want to see a Flames logo on the Calgary skyline.

Though I'd like to see a large flames logo flat on the roof of the saddledome so planes flying over can see it!

The Montreal Canadiens are one of the biggest companies in town. Like any other big company, they put their logo on their buildings.

That's a little cringeworthy... I find that a bit surprising in a stylish city like Montreal.

I totally understand that the Habs would want their logo on the tower, but it would have been nicer had they put a more discrete, stylized version of it.
