Progress is slow around the Christmas season, but they were working today.

these towers are going to look fantastic together. despite the fact that Calgary is chalk full of twins. these two will stand out from the crowd in a big way. pun intended. haha

I need to visit Calgary just for the sake of walking through the canyons of towers in Downtown; especially to visit this complex.

It's amazing how fast a tower can rise when the base is already built. I had no idea it was already up to the 29th floor. This thing is going to be done in no time!

I never realized how similar these towers are to Torre BankBoston in Buenos Aires until now:



And surprise surprise, it's a Cesar Pelli project. Two out of three of Pickard Chilton's principals used to work with Cesar Pelli. I'm beginning to think that they were responsible for a lot of successful Pelli designs.

I do like ours better than that though. Personally I'd love another one from these guys here.
