My guess the developer needed more square footage after maxing out on height like with most podiums.

I guess I'll have to take your word for it. All i see in that is the standard three floor podium, not the six floor choad above it.

Not sure if Belmont street qualifies as a canyon, it's definitely a weird street that showcases an odd mix of late 30-50's internationalism and a 19th century cathedral.

Centretown canyon developing just south of the CBD. I should have taken a pic from the other side while I was there.

That's a great shot of Edmonton!

Indeed it is.

Reminds me of Batman - The Dark Night opening shots. Toronto can easily, and I'm sure it often does, stand-in for Chicago or New York.

So cool to see those heritage buildings still standing (or are they just facades?) Just too bad none can be seen in skyline shots.

That's King Street moving from west of Bay to east of Yonge. All of those buildings are complete structures, from the old Scotiabank HQ through Commerce Court North to the old Royal Bank building on Yonge.

It's great canyon. It's St-James street 6.0.

Canyons in the Rideau and Cumberland streets area.

And an overview:

From the Rideau Centre-HBC skywalk in Ottawa. Rideau Canyon growing by the day.

Canyon or carbuncle?
