the observation tower is a pre fab building where parts would be brought in, its not a real stationary observation tower because it slowly goes up and town, I believe the tower would acually be 45 stories, the tallest one they can make
^Well partially. Lots of them are already well underway. But, many of them will not start up until the market recovers (particularly on the residential side) . The housing market softened long before oil and gas prices declined late last year.
True, but Vancouver has never had an office tower boom even close to anything like what is happening in Calgary right now. Hopefully with the housing correction + the extremely low commercial vacancies Vancouver will be able to squeeze a few office towers out within the next few years.
Geeze, I don't know about that vanman. Between 1972-1977 Vancouver had six office towers built over 400 feet tall. Granted Vancouver's office towers aren't as tall as Calgary's but there were more of them.
From the Calgary Future Skyling Renderings thread, CtrlAltDel drops the biggest bomb on us yet!

I've put in every possible development that will likely happen within the next 20 years. Of course, some buildings are stand-ins, but it gives a fairly accurate view of what can be expected.
Thanks to Wooster for double checking for me. Boris2k7 is MIA!
