Hey, no Windsor! What are we chopped liver? We're bigger than some of these cities you posted! Places like Corner Brook and Dundas we're 9 or 10x bigger and yet we're not on the list.
Weird. It goes to show you how often and easily we're overlooked down here in the banana region of Canada.
Sorry about that! I do have a great shot of Windsor. I'll edit that in right away!

Agreed, but it is growing quite quickly considering it had nothing 10 years ago.

Rather than repost all the photos, I'll just add the link to a photo thread of pictures I took in Halifax (Halifax Regional Municipality) while I was home at Easter.
All photos taken by me and I've added the airport photos to the airport thread. Enjoy!
great work.. nice to see yellowknife with a decent skyline. Surrey has to have one of the worst skylines considering its population.
Well it's not a real city in the traditional sense. It's several towns growing into one another. It's in the process of developing central hubs where highrises will be built like Burnaby and Mississauga.
It's been a while since Regina's made an appearance, so here a few pictures of a small portion of Regina's skyline where a new tower is currently being constructed. Photos were taken by the forumers that originally posted them.
I'm going to have to go out sometime soon and get a good collection of pictures that includes more of the core.

I would guess not more than 2.5 years to construct it, and only about a year to top out once it has started rising. Buildings go up surprisingly quick.

For those that don't know... it will be approx 20 floors/81m or so.

They started ripping down the old building that was there in Sept of last year and finished digging/started building the underground parkade levels at the end of January of this year.
^^they've made a lot of progress since I was there a couple weeks ago.
