Looks great. I'll be interested to see how all these new towers look when completed. It's great that a 21 storey office building is included here.

I'm getting a Dubai vibe from that Vaughan tower. I like it!

This building will be located on a parking lot along the north side of St Bernards Church, on the SE corner of Botsford and Victoria Streets in downtown Moncton NB.

The plan is for 3 levels of underground parking, a two storey podium (townhomes), a seven storey tower capped by a two level penthouse, and a mechanical floor.

This building will be in the downtown east end of Moncton, a block from the Moncton City Hall complex and the FiveFive Queen building that I've posted about here before. It will be two blocks from Main Street, near the Blue Cross office building, the Delta Beausejour Hotel and Assumption Place.

The Vaughan Metropolitan Centre is kind of reminiscent of The Montreal Tower in a way. Maybe I'm the only one that sees this though .

And I LOVE the Moncton proposal! It's a nice, beefy mid-rise that would be appropriate in many of our larger cities. I love a good 6 - 15 story building in the right places.

Topped-out now, so no longer a proposal, but these are the first renderings we've found of the rental tower u/c on the Gatineau side of Zibi.

The pedestrian level, especially the river-facing side, leaves a lot to be desired.

There's a good reason for that actually! The base of the building will be used as the central district thermal plant. Using energy recovered from the nearby Kruger Products plant, the facility will provide zero-emission cooling and heating to the entire Zibi development.

Exhibition Park - Lethbridge - on the opposite side of Harrison Lake from the Nikka Yuko Japanese International Friendship Garden.

The bar on the upper floor of the main building will have views of Henderson Lake, the city, and the rockies beyond.

Construction set to begin April 1, 2021.

I'd prefer if 120 Church lost the random yellow accents.

Thats gold baby. The shiny black bricks remind me of the wizard internal offices interior. Sorry I'm not on point with my Potter knowledge.

689 King West looks awesome. I wonder how that complex window treatment will do in the long run. I imagine the places there will be insanely expensive.

Looks like Kelowna is making the same condo tower 'mistakes' as Vancouver did. There's nothing inherently wrong with the design but it's not very nice either. In a city the size of Kelowna it won't take too many forgettable buildings like this to wreck what is currently a nice looking city.
