Webcam's are installed for marketing. The office is off the market and the rest are rentals. There may not be a webcam. It's not cheap to get permission to install one on another property.

So far I find the black cladding to be over powering. Hopefully once more glass goes in things will even out but so far I don't like what I see.

Still so early so hard to pass judgement yet, but I think that even if the black is more overpowering than initially planned it could turn out nice. We get our own slightly twisted monolith in downtown Calgary, and against a bright blue sky could be quite striking. Here's hoping.

When we start getting the setbacks, that's when we will start to be able to judge how this looks. The bottom by itself was always going to look a little boxy.

I'm liking the offset of the window segments from floor to floor.
Not sold on the matte black yet, but not disliking it yet either. We shall see.
Just so glad to see this one rising

I am searching for a book about Alberta history and stumbled across this:

Calgary Centre Street Bridge 1920 to 2020.

You can see Telus Sky in the background.

For some reason I think this is going to end up looking better than the renderings.

I couldn't agree more! The tower will standout once done because the shape and cladding are completely different from what we currently have and will definitely hold it's own when done. Beautiful actually!!
