Great Van shots. Here's another unusual angle, looking northwest:

Loving all the different Peg views we are getting.

^^That is unbelievable in the layers and eras and styles. It even makes me not loathe the Radisson.

Hey now, the Radisson is quality brutalism in highrise form!

Mark my words, one day it will be truly appreciated.

that Halifax shot is great! beautiful low-rise complex

as for that Winnipeg shot, the new true north complex for not being that tall, is filling in a lot of holes nicely as it progresses!

2 more towers to go once that pair is finished... even if it isn't redefining the skyline, True North Square is certainly adding a bit of bulk.

^ Very Impressive. Looks like a new city.

So very rare to see Montreal from this angle!

It's from the Intercontinental Hotel. Such a great POV.

suburbanite · #**6597** Posted **Feb 16, 2018, 2:55 PM**

That is quite a modern angle. Looks like a western city.

esquire · #**6598** Posted **Feb 16, 2018, 2:59 PM**

Tour de la Bourse is not really among the most iconic Canadian towers but it damn well should be, what a beauty. It must have been an amazing sight when it was first built in 1964 and there was hardly anything like it.

I respectfully disagree. I think it's one of the most iconic buildings in Montreal and Montreal has one of our most iconic skylines so I think it's right up there near the top of the list of Canadian towers. Montreal's skyline would look barren without it.

Here's a cool pic of it u/c.

I agree.

Hopefully, the new BNC head office right beside it will match well

P-S: I'm trying to find out where that picture was taken, so we can see that vantage point today.
