If Montreal doesn't want to build supertalls, that's their prerogative but somewhere in our lifetimes if it continues to hold that outdated view of not needing supertalls and Calgary and Edmonton decides to bolster their economies by building supertalls, just don't be shocked if Calgary and Edmonton becomes number two and three, respectively in Canada's largest cities.

I haven't seen any evidence that building supertalls bolsters a city's economy, at least any more than new construction in general. It seems more like a product of a strong economy (combined with an absence of policies prohibiting them) rather than the cause.

Are supertalls ever needed, anywhere? As much as we love them, they are neither necessary nor sufficient for making/keeping a city great.

A set of twins I actually like! Montreal doesn't have the twins and triplets of non descript offices and condos that Calgary has so this actually makes a statement. I like the skybridge too.

It is a nice, unique addition to the Montreal skyline.

I believe that Tour de la Bourse (Place Victoria) was supposed to have a twin (actually, a triplet).

I'm glad that never came to fruition. In a similar vein one of the few benefits to the downturn in our economy in Calgary is that Brookfield Place's proposed shorter twin has been shelved. Hopefully if something gets built on the other half of the lot one day it will be mixed use and a completely different design. Since our DT office market tanked there's no office towers on the horizon for a loooong time.
