Nice to see they light the Calgary tower up to match the sky show.

This is an interesting angle of the skyline... strangely enough, even with Stantec, this angle makes Edmonton's skyline look surprisingly small.

Kinda sorta, but I always liked the layering in that shot.

This is a great angle.

I can't get over how much Kelowna's skyline has grown since I lived there.

It is amazing, and the soon to be two new tallest towers in the image are both just starting construction.

Also of note, but IMO for a smaller city, while not "amazing," the general aesthetics of the towers built in Kelowna are decent and they have, ever so slightly, their own styling for the area.

The UBC 150 metre tower, which is having site prep done, will be decently iconic though, and if kept true to the renders it will have a great color scheme that matches the area well.

That still blows my mind that Kelowna will have an official skyscraper, and it will be taller than Winnipeg's tallest tower.

It appears that Edmonton has more older residential high-rises than Calgary, or at least they appear more obvious; in this way it seems more like Vancouver (was).
