Looks like Wells Fargo Center in Minny in that shot.
I like 88 Scott but it would look better without the boxes IMO. They take away from the vertical thrust of the tower.

That tower is just a mess.

Coldrsx · #**4083** Posted **Sep 10, 2017, 12:13 AM**

Yup, but a hot NY mess.

Stantec.

Don't bring North York into this.

Yea.....88 Scott is just a real iffy tower, I'd say especially in the crown area and upper glass/spandreled areas. The precast isn't that good, but it's fine I guess. Either way, 88 Scott will be off this list soon enough.

Agreed. A case of trying to hard for sure.

The progress of Telus Sky and 488 University is exciting.

Stantec tower and JW Tower

O-tacular · #**4095** Posted **Sep 11, 2017, 8:27 PM**

I like that JW tower. Much more interesting than Stantec. I do hope any new towers have more texture to them though as that is a lot of blue glass between those two for one area.

O-tacular · #**4096** Posted **Sep 11, 2017, 8:29 PM**

Telus Sky creeping its way up. This shot taken from the arcade at the old Bay building.

This will make for an interesting angle once it tops out. Will look head and shoulders above the Bow from Stephen Ave.

Worry less about the towers. Worry more about the podiums. It's the same glass and tile for the entire block.

Oh no.....

It actually doesn't look too bad in person. Just realize the pictures don't do the colours any justice.
