I'm not liking that glazing, it looks the same as what's on every other GGA project. TOO DARK!!!

Nice. Along with the canterra tower and Jamison Place, this project will really make this part of downtown look really good. Interesting to see how the roof turns out.

Why did Gibbs Gage put 2 different styles of glazing on this tower? the one visible in that last shot is way better than the other one.

[wild wild west]

G-G has a wierd fetish for the dual glazing styles; usually it sucks but in this case I think it works.

[Doug_Cgy]

Why did Gibbs Gage put 2 different styles of glazing on this tower? the one visible in that last shot is way better than the other one.

Totally agree. I think this makes the tower go from great to mediocre....

[mersar]

Both towers actually have the dual colors of glazing on them. Heres the initial darker glazing on the west tower:

http://compscience.info/public/images/2009/centennial-mar21-1.jpg

And on the east:
http://compscience.info/public/images/2009/centennial-mar21-2.jpg

Personally I don't mind the dual on these ones, the one thing it does do is make the slant of the one side more pronounced as you'll actually be able to see it narrow as it goes up

Yup, without the two tones the slant would not be very noticeable.

Dual glazing looks like crap on Keynote, but I really think it works in this case. I really like this project. Only about 18 more floors to go on the taller tower!

[You Need A Thneed]

One thing the the two styles of glazing will do for these towers is help make them not look like twins as much. Looking from the north or from the east, you'll see two different looking towers.

I don't mind how the glazing is looking so far - both styles.

[Bigtime]

They should have just stuck with one glazing, the clear one. Would have made for a simple, yet great looking tower.

They are really are impacting the skyline from that angle. You can see both Jamieson and Centennial from the park where I take my dog (Confederation Park)

Alberta ERCB signs lease in new downtown Calgary tower

By Mario Toneguzzi, Calgary HeraldJ une 18, 2009 1:33 PM

CALGARY - The Energy Resources Conservation Board has signed a lease for eight floors of the new West Tower of Centennial Place in downtown Calgary.

The lease with Oxford Properties Group begins December 2010. The ERCB’s hearing room, Govier Hall, will also be located in the tower.

The ERCB is an independent, quasi-judicial agency of the Government of Alberta, whose mandate is to regulate the safe, responsible, and efficient development of Alberta’s energy resources: oil, natural gas, oilsands, coal, and pipelines.

Centennial Place is located in the Eau Claire district and comprises two towers totalling 1.2 million square feet.

Centennial Place is over 65 per cent pre-leased with both towers scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2010.

Some angles looks AWESOME (transparent glazing side)...Others look really dated. I wish they would've stuck with the transparency throughout, then it would be a 10/10!

My company is moving into Centennial Place in April, we get possession of our floors tomorrow for interior work to commence. So, I get to go for safety training on Wednesday morning, if I get the opportunity to take pictures I'll post that night.

Centennial is turning out decent, not as good as I thought from the renderings, but better than I thought when they first started putting up the glazing.

[Govertical]

the spires will be solid right, not choppy like they are right now I hope??

[Indescribable]

Hard to say but they're solid in the rendering.

[drenalin]

the spires will be solid once work is complete inside them. You guys should see the lobbies, they are quite a showpiece!

Thanks everyone for your comments! The south view shot you like is actually where my new office is going to be.

I'm excited, move in date is scheduled for June 1st!

^Nice that you get to work in a shiny new building, especially as one as good as Centennial. I think it turned out really good and adds to the skyline nicely.

The spires will be mixed texture by the looks of it.

What kind of retail is going in the podium?

[The Kid]

What kind of retail is going in the podium?

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess there will for sure be a coffee shop.

[Deepstar]

There's a coffee shop and a restaurant going into the podium, with both having outside access to 2nd ave. There will also be an entrance from the outside to a fitness centre of some kind - that will be on the southeast corner IIRC. The rest of the retail (standard food court, drycleaners, etc..) is inside :(

I was hoping for better retail street frontage, but on the plus side, both the restaurant and cafe will have patio space.

Gorgeous update; beautiful complex.

Question - All of the new highrises: With all of this commercial space coming online, is there a demand for this amount of commercial space? How much is committed?
