That's great, thanks Frankie!
I can't decide if I like or dislike it so far, but I'm erring on the side of I like it.

I think it looks good... and about 3/4 its final height now...

Those two buildings have really grown on me.

O-tacular · #**2927** Posted **Aug 11, 2016, 6:38 PM**

They are looking better the closer they get to finished.

I hope this is just an awful diagram that doesn't reflect what is being built.

According to SSP database Calgary has 19 towers of 150m or more if you include Telus Sky & the Calgary Tower. I hope it's sooner than "quite awhile" before we can squeeze out a couple more.

No one counts the Calgary tower.

Yep. 16 built and another topped out. There is also one currently rising.

I don't think two more will break ground tomorrow. It could be sooner (2 or 3 years) rather than later (5 to 10 years). It could also be a decade plus. Right now, the most optimistic count is 18.

^Agreed - thanks.

Need more but, so far I'm not really liking the change in the colour and mullion spacing.

O-tacular · #**2939** Posted **Aug 16, 2016, 9:52 PM**

I'm guessing it's completely clear to allow for the crown lighting to be more visible. Once it's all enclosed I don't think it will look as insignificant. I'm guessing the glass going into the lobby level will be similar in that it is supposed to be clearer.

Stanny is just about to roll.
