For those that don't know, Claridge is notorious for cheaping out and delivering such architectural marvels such as these:

Big part of the blame for that one goes to the NCC of the past, who imposed the massing and limited choices of materials for that project.

These are better examples of Claridge 🞵🞵🞵🞵;

That is really bad.

...and thankfully never built.

Just another sprawling sports complex on the surface. Excited by what's going to happen on the inside.

It looks like a cross between these two designs.

Like comparing Queen Margerita Pizza to Pizza Pizza.

Tall tower could go up next to historic Edmonton Hotel Macdonald.

Companies want to build up to 55-storey tower on the park just north of the hotel.

The historic Hotel Macdonald in the heart of downtown Edmonton may be getting a tall new neighbour, and local organizations hope the building won't overshadow the century-old hotel.

In a joint venture, ProCura and Great Gulf propose to build a mixed-use tower up to 55 storeys high on the privately owned lot to the north of the hotel, which is now Frank Oliver Park.

Garrett Turta, general manager of the hotel, said ideally the park would stay and nothing would go up. But he said he's realistic about future developments.

This would look sharp clad in brick. Can't really tell from the rendering if it is or not though.

That will be Montreal's best condo tower if it gets built. I like it a lot.

Ya it will look sharp. I'm almost certain it will be brick to tie in with the Distillery area.

And LOL at the way off "pizza pizza" comment made above yours missing the point completely. Once a troll...............................
