I agree, but what exactly is it about this building that everyone likes so much? Is it simply the curves? For me that's a big part of it, and I love the way the curved glass reflects the city.

For me, it's the slim profile and the curtain wall. It doesn't need to be taller either except for one thing. The outward taper needs another 25 floors to be relevant. I think I would prefer the profile without it.

I agree that it doesn't need to be taller, but if it was it would be so much more noticeable. I think it's a shame that some of Building that nice isn't more prominent.

Does anyone know whats up with the wood on the side of the tower?

Considering the state of the Calgary office market they are looking to cut corners where ever they can

This building has turned out really great. Love the cavern it makes with the courthouse.

The crown is quite similar to Brookfield Place. The shape of the building as a whole is beautiful.

Welcome Evolv!

Damn this one looks sharp .. Beating a dead horse here, but it would have been more incredible had it been taller!

 

[Surrealplaces]

I can't say it enough either. It's a great building, but really would be such an amazing building at 50 or 60 floors.

 

[Always_Biking]

Should be much taller. I would be happy to see Brookfield be 27 storeys and this one be 58 storeys.

These are shots from earlier in the month, but I've been figuring out my the camera on my new phone. The irony of its high resolution is that they're too big for the site to support so I had to resize them to be smaller. I think they're some pretty decent shots though.

Love that first shot! It's Both buildings are a nice contrast to the gray sky in the background.

For some reason those other still photos didn't really turn out...here's a screencap shot, which actually looks much better.
