Sorry for the low res of the image. This is from an NB development related Facebook group.

The two tower cranes are for 20 Record Street (three 15 storey buildings) and the Junction Urban Village, which will consist of about six buildings, all six storeys in height. There are a couple of other downtown cranes not included in the image, and there will soon be another tower crane going up for St. Bernard Square, which will be a new high end 12 storey apartment building.

I hope you will update when these 15 storey buildings are visible.

^ Moncton looks more inviting for me from this angle

Sainte-Foy le 11 octobre

We were in Sainte-Foy a few weeks back and were quite impressed. One of the least depressing suburbs we've seen, with good cycling and ped infrastructure, medium and high-density with street front retail, decent architecture... It will just get better with the tram.

Quebec City in general is awesome. Like a mini-Montreal with the continuous urbanity continuing for kilometers. In the past, we spent most f our time in Le Vieux and area, but there's so much more to see.

Downtown Kitchener's east end, by me:

Not too shabby looking for the “bad end” of DTK.

Is the tall one Duke Tower? I know it looks huge coming in from the highway.

kwoldtimer · #**4609** Posted **Oct 14, 2021, 1:27 AM**

Yes. Kitchener’s tallest at 39 storeys.

esquire · #**4610** Posted **Oct 14, 2021, 12:03 PM**

Kitchener looks substantial.

I was in Kelowna last week for the first time.
I liked it - it's a great city.

Wow, Kitchener looks quite a bit different since I was last there a few years ago. Looks like new growth in Kelowna too.

No real change for Windsor over the last 15 years, sigh. But, several proposals for new high rises have come over past year as real estate prices have risen over 50%. Also, the historic commercial buildings in the lower left corner of the second photo are currently being converted to residential.

Downtown west end of Moncton.

This is a drone photo taken for a real estate company only about two weeks ago. I know this is a decidedly low-rise skyline, with the taller buildings averaging only about six storeys, but many of these buildings were put up only in the last 4-5 years or so, and there has been tremendous change that would make this portion of the city skyline difficult for native Monctonians to recognize if they had not been back to the city recently.

In the foreground, you can see excavation going on for yet another new six storey apartment building.
