but i quite don't like the COE building. it's too damn short, but hey, no demand for more floors i guess....

It is a great height for our city. We need more towers of this size and demand to fill them. Love the JW, Stantec, but another 10 x 20-30 storey are going to really make change here.

A little bit more height is good. Especially now that the City center airport is Kaput.

More height west of downtown and east is needed Emerald good start going west now some proposals east of 97th needed .

Why settle on one or another. Build your city from the inside out. Height...Density...Vibrancy and good architecture.

I would like to see variety, table top skylines like Sao Paulo and Ottawa do nothing for those cities.

Coldrsx · #**5467** Posted **Nov 27, 2016, 4:00 PM**

This isn't about tabletops, it is ensuring that we fill those many holes still existing in our urban fabric. Continuous street-wall is important.

itom 987 · #**5468** Posted **Nov 27, 2016, 4:37 PM**

Those holes will still be filled regardless of what kind of skyline Edmonton develops.

Harrison · #**5469** Posted **Nov 28, 2016, 4:16 AM**

Buildings in Edmonton are mostly less than 5 storeys anyways - a ~120m tower downtown definitely makes an impact on the skyline, especially when entire adjacent neighbourhoods are almost solely 1-5 storeys.

Not every tower needs to be taller than Manulife, especially now that there are a handful of 'statement' towers >150m currently under construction to add 'oomph' to the skyline.

That CoE sign on the building looks ridiculously undersized.

And regardless of height, the building looks pretty slick in my mind.

Hallsy's Toupee · #**5471** Posted **Nov 28, 2016, 4:26 PM**

The COE sign is smaller because of the building sizing there.

hilman · #**5472** Posted **Nov 28, 2016, 4:27 PM**

It is "small" due to that side of the building being small, hard to make a long sign on a short wall

Ian, I heard your interview this morning. Congrats on the new position. Your boosterism of downtown Edmonton is unmatched and will serve you well in your new (continued) role. Best of luck.
