I sure wish that the Suncor towers were taller, I would like for that one to still be the tallest even with all the new ones built around it.

Nice to see the public plaza area at the Peace Bridge, so far along. Excellent posts Spring2008. Welcome to SRC.

They are lovely buildings, but they won't be dwarfed any time soon really. Still 705ft tall, that's nothing to sneeze at, no matter what city its in.
Maybe it's just the colour, but it reminds me a little of Scotia Plaza in Toronto. It may not be the tallest, and there are sure to be many more buildings taller than it to come, but it's still a very impressive building, and it's not going anywhere.

Great comparison! At first glance the skylines don't look different, but when you take a good look at this year's skyline and then go back to the older one, the older one seems almost empty.

There's definitely something to be said for those granite clad beauties. It'll probably be a long time before anything like that is ever in fashion again.

Nice comparison Surreal. Our skyline has filled in nicely from that angle. that was always my least favorite angle, but now that it's filled in, it looks good. The view from the NE is now my least favorite.

Looking through, I had thought they had leased to a movie theatre.

That whole area is really filling in. Once the ring road is complete, you'll see the area really take off I think.
The student housing tower might not be the sexiest design out there, but I'm happy to see this moving ahead. They plan to start building as soon as they have all their approvals in place.

Might not be the sexiest is an understatement. It's still not a bad design for a student tower. It's just too tall for not being sexy.

The original rendering of that Bridgeland proposal.
