A few more towers and Humber Bay Shores/Etobicoke Shores will look like a real stand alone skyline...maybe like Yonge-Eglinton or North York Centre.

Those are probably the 2 best shot of Calgary I have ever seen. Well done!

Eau Du Soleil will "make" the skyline there, with a peak at almost 230 metres... and there are a bunch more U/C and proposed in the area as well. Will be the tallest skyline outside the core, just not the most dense...

Brookfield definitely fills in that gap nicely.

Those two shots make Calgary look huge. Great shots.

The first one is frame worthy. Got the perfect place to hang it too.

Ya gotta like Brookfield . . . . . . but, just 5 more floors and everything would have become so much more dynamic . . . starting to get that Vancouver tabletop fear.

230 meters in the suburbs. That's so crazy.

Brookfield is a great looking building....better than I though it would be! Another 10-15 meters would have been nice though!

Yes, but those glass corners, the refined curtain wall . . . it will be beautiful, especially up close & anywhere downtown when it comes into view!

I think we all need to sit around and hold hands and sing kumbaya...

Beltline is really starting to look like a proper dense district, with several high density corridors emerging (8th St, 4th St, and 17th Ave).

Yeah, I know. It'll only get worse when BP 2 gets built. Telus sky will be awesome but it's also in that height range that will further cement the tabletop.
