^ I thought it was Calgary that had the over-inflated civic pride

Edmontonians are awfully hard on themselves.

It is funny in jest, but I fear it is that wonderful mindset of some people here...

It will be Edmonton's tallest (current tallest at 149m if you include spires, 147m if you don't), or were you thinking a new tallest for Alberta?

I guess I was going by the 32 storeys (vs 36 for Manulife 1). But you are right - it will be a new tallest for Edmonton, and by a fair bit.
A new tallest for Alberta would be great too because it would force Calgary to go higher "The Battle of Alberta" for skyscrapers would be awesome.

BTW I can't stand cheater spires so I don't recognize them as "building height".

So can we all change our screen names in the New Year.



Back to business. Hearing Stantec is pegged to do the design for all the Target conversions in Canada. With a number of people in Edmonton on the team.

Cannot be sure if I'll be coming. Chances are that I might not.

I will be at the black sheep or the Pint tonight. So far it only seems like coldrsx is going to show up, but at a uncertain time. Cold if you can't find me at the black sheep, just text me.
