Nice job! Are you able to add the deloitte tower, the two towers of Icône and the two towers of Rocabella as well? We would have a good idea of what the new cluster near the Bell Centre will look like.

It's about time the skyline changes. 2012 will be the new 1992.

Pardon my ignorance but where's Tour de la Bourse in that shot? Behind PVM?

Yes. We can't see it from Mont-Royal.

Merci lake of the nations!

That's always been a little annoying to me. Our 3rd tallest building, almost 200m in height, is completely invisible from the most popular and cliched vantage point.

Just think that Tour de la Bourse was the city's tallest building for almost 30 years, and it was invisible from the look out the whole time.

Fantastic render. Montreal's west end is going to be a super dense area by the late 2010s

I took one of AB Born's photos from the Calgary Tower and chopped-in Herald Square.

AB Born, I hope you don't mind

I'm pretty sure that is no longer the design of Herald Square.

Great render though

Herald Square is going through a re-design I believe. Don't know the actual height or the fact that they (Brookfield), owns the whole block now. It may be a 2 tower developement.

They should build two 350 meter twin towers that look exactly like the original proposal for Alberta Plaza 75! The buildings page and diagram here: http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=26124

Actually Whippersnapper, said that WILL likely be the design. - The only difference being that with the land acquisition by Brookfield, they'll be able to add a twin tower to the development.

Rumours around Cowtown say otherwise. Lots of speculation Imperial Oil will be the main tenant and that Brookfield wants a statement making building.
