Brookfield hit by lightning last night:

Flew into YYC last night and tried to get a pic, bad quality as it's not a good camera but you get the idea.

so skinny on the side while Brookfield look massive from every angle

Our skyline is moving up in the world. Brookfield, City Centre, Vogue, Telus Sky, and everything going on in the East Village and Beltline are really making a difference.

i think calgary has one of the most beautiful skylines ive ever seen. globally in my mind too. id love to see us in saskatoon gets even a few 30 storey towers lol. give us something to look at.

but brookfield looks great. cant wait for Telus sky to be completed.

Wow, that's a sweet angle. EAP looks so great against the green. I still wish the cladding would've been lighter for Brookfield.

What are they building by the river ? those red crane .

And i'm so curious why and what took them so long to finish cladding on the 56 floor .. i'm keep asking my self like what are they doing for the past 2 weeks

The red cranes are WaterFront condos, three condos total

the 56 floor is going to take a bit to clad as the area for the small "spider crane" that they put on the floor above (floor 57) to lift the glazing panels in place, is being occupied by scissor lifts and other workers working

[KoolKool]

Via Andrew Ganong on fb, another good vantage point for comparison.

Pace seems to be slowing on Brookfields crown as well as the last remaining top row of glass

^^^ Sure has....

[MalcolmTucker]

Just spitballing here but I bet they'll want to commission the hvac and upper elevators before they put the glass on the crown, and install the service crane(s) just in case they need to do another lift. I can't imagine the rain is helping in that regard.

[Bigtime]

I think I've seen the service crane sitting up there now, every morning on my commute in just past 0600 the construction crane is always working and hauling stuff up there.

[CalgaryAlex]

They've installed a few panels of glass on the top floor, on the southeast corner.

[KoolKool]

Well they finally move on to finishing cladding the top floor.... and i think it'll be finish by August 10th or 11 the cladding . ....... then the Crown for another month?.

So it won't be transparent then to see the curve on the top. Excited to see it all lit up! I imagine those fins will function like the siding on the science centre. I'd love for something red or pink!
