The fourth Western Giant over halfway up! This view is going to be f*cking incredible in a year.
From that angle it should be about the same height as Brookfield....maybe even taller.

Fantastic angle for a fantastic project. Really glad we didn't loose this one!

Hi Group,
This Picture is GREAT, Shows all 4 of the Tallest Bldgs in Calgary - so Far. When Telus is Completed, this Will add Greatly to the Sky Line. Give It say 12 to 18 Months and the whole Skyline will Make a Shot in this Location Look Very Good for P R Reasons
Tnx,
Operater.

Is that another singular block sticking out in the upper right of this picture?
I'm not sure I really like the couple individual blocks sticking out like that, I think it disrupts the smooth flow of the building. There's another one near the bottom, visible in the first picture.
I think if they did more of these, (or none of them,) it might be justified, but sticking 2 or 3 cells outwards seems like a half-assed attempt at being more "eccentric."
Reminds me of those "OCD-Causing Pictures That Will Drive You CRAZY!" videos on Youtube, where everything would be perfect if it weren't for 1 little flaw.
Still a lovely building though, and great shots Cyric.
(Edit): You can see the block sticking out on the bottom in the render on Pg1. I believe, however, this higher-up one isn't in the render. Sorta wish they kept it that way.

That's what I'm thinking. It doesn't show up on any of my cad plans.

You've got CAD plans for Telus sky? Sweet!
Love how the hands could be going for the building. What a great project.

Oh thank God. Didn't think it was gonna be permanent, but, y'know, we've had our fair share of poor engineering/architecture choices here in Calgary.
