I didn't know 2 of the Sugar Wharf towers were under construction. That's news to me. Good News!

Calgary was actually awarded the cleanest city in the world. Not a big deal

The Legends tower is so good. Definitely screams big city/big money.

That it is too. Legend is the name of the condos. I hate the balconies. There's no dicernable artistic value to them. It's all about unit layouts and price per foot. They take everything away from the tower. (which is average for a HaririPontarini inspired/knockoff design in the first place)

It's awful. I'd take a brutalist commie block over that design. The inside is even worse.
