I'm very happy with the way EAP turned out. I was one of those who were against it, but now am glad it as built.

The crown and LED lighting look fantastic on EAP. Maybe they are waiting for more tenants to move in before turning them on?

EAP is a fantastic building - would be Calgary's best if not for that other tower...

Great photos, guys.

Very nice. Can't wait until they've finished cleaning all of the windows.

I really like the plaza they have built west of this tower, just in front of that big atrium space. I think it would be an excellent spot to have some lunch on a nice sunny day.

Sharp looking new tower, fits in well with Calgary's skyline.

from that angle, the lighting on all the towers seem to match up perfect. great city planers. they have done there job and paid attention to detail. (it would seem at least). the end result is a skyline that matches up from tower to tower. it flows in a way that few other skylines could ever hope to. thank goodness for that. i tip my hat to the people that help make the Calgary skyline look so good. there is a great deal of evidence that these people are doing a good job, and that photo is just one example of it. all new towers going up in Calgary should be carefully mixed in with existing architecture just as the photo shows. just because a tower may not be a thing of perfection, that in no way means that it cant be esthetically matched to what it will exist beside for years to come. to be honest, if this happened by fluke, then it should be brought to the attention to those who can make that same fluke happen over and over again. haha
