That'd be cool. It could maybe look something like Devonian Gardens.

Then i hope they are going to be something like Skybar in the summer

Brookfield's clear glass grown with corrugated steel in the background is ugly AF

[Bigtime]

Yeah I'm not liking the visual. Night will be completely different I hope when all lit up.

I've been worried and waiting for Brookfield to add similar glass to the crown (clear glass with a darker glass behind) matching the rest of the building. They can't possibly be serious and leave the crown the way it's beginning to appear with clear glass only!!

Could the lighter tint be tied to crown lighting?

[Calgarian]

Wow, I look at this thing every day and just realized they put glass on the crown, not very often the glass is so clear on a building we can't even see it!

It'll probably end up looking a lot like Eau Claire Tower's crown. I think it'll look fine once complete.

Looking at the rendering on page 1, it's apparent the change in glazing was there all along. At least according to my coke-bottled eyes.

There are quite a few spaces like this downtown. You might be surprised. A lot of them are used for storage.

LOL. That's a steel stud wall, settle down. Let the lads finish the damn thing.

[Bigtime]

Yup I was clearly hysterical and overreacting. Telling me to settle down was just the thing I needed.

Skyscrapers and internet, serious business.

Sorry for all the BP Debbie Downer posts, but man.. Brookfield's glass is blinding in the mornings! Could barely walk west this morning with my head up

I'm really liking this building from a lot of vantage points in the city... but driving near 17th on Stoney Trail the other day I noticed just how tall and impressive the Bow & Brookfield look together, I loved it!

Now something closer to 300m eventually would be fantastic

[Calgarian]

Dare to dream...

[O-tacular]

I'm optimistic the crown will turn out alright. It always appeared lighter than the rest of the tower in the renderings too.

Damn. Almost like the death ray on EAP. How did they fix that again?

I stayed here after they fixed it, but you could still feel it.
