Can't decide on one or the other. Both are pretty equal.

I think from a distance Harbour Plaza looks better, but closer up Ice edges it so far. However, like Koops said, construction needs to be finished before final judgement.

That being said, both sets of twins really add in a positive way to the look of the skyline.

I kinda like that sinister underpass.

a city isn't interesting without some grit.

If One Bloor East finishes construction before another big buildings starts construction, Edmonton could have the tallest building outside of Canada.

I wonder how many times since this building boom began has Toronto not been number one on the list. I can't recall any.

Vancouver (Shangrila - 196) and Calgary (the Bow - 236) have held top spot on the list.

I would have thought Trump and Aura kept The Bow out of first. Must have been a matter of months.

Yeah, the Bow was on top for a couple of months in late summer early fall of 2007/or 2008.

Can't remember the year but I remember it was from about August to November..

I thought it was abundantly obviously he meant to say "inside of Canada".
Oh well, now you know. He meant "inside of Canada".

Better than to say "bump", I guess.
