Thanks man. Yeah, I remember a few years ago Calgary had been ranked as the cleanest city in the world. Not sure if it still is. It's funny you say that, because that's what about half my tourists said yesterday. This group was from Ontario, but all my American groups last year said the same as well. It's certainly not an "attraction" in itself, but it certainly helps people feel more comfortable walking around and experiencing a new city.

The corner glass is spandrel and vision. The main facades are full height vision panels with shadow boxes. This is going to look very nice. Hopefully, the lighting units are kept to a minimum.

The shaped facade is starting to take form now that they've finished two floors worth of glass. Looks pretty good in person.

This is all that's available so far. Odd considering opening day for the residences is like... within this year.

Wow. Thanks. I've seen the office plans but, never the residential.

The wide suite layout at the end of the elevator corridor could be awesome.

Definitely some unique unit configurations. Not sure how I'd like those two long narrow ones. Put a bookshelf or table against the wall and you may have a pretty tight squeeze.

I agree, WS, the long narrow ones look super unique, and they remind me a bit of the form of a unit me and a boyfriend from like 10 years age were looking at in the tower portion of 1 King West. It was amazing, plus the bath tub was right against the window. Basically my dream place. Hopefully these ones have similar features.


Edit: Oh, neat. New page, new photos!


Mine from last week...

Telus Sky is simply stunning! I can't stop looking at it. Just a really cool tower. Because of its slim profile, it looks taller than it is. One of a kind thats for sure
