Some home town biases on this site are so funny. It's obvious that at some point in the last economic boom in Alberta that Calgary's skyline surpassed Edmonton's in style, height, balance, and scale. Their really is no question about it. And if Edmonton's was so photogenic, why do I have a tough time picturing it without googling it? I mean if I saw a picture of it I'd know what city I'm looking at, but if somebody asked me to make a simple sketch I wouldn't know where to begin. Calgary on the other hand I could get most of it right.

Sorry for perpetuating this argument, when I get home I'll try and ad something a bit more constructive.

Funny, an Edmonton /Calgary Rivalry? Now there's a new one!

It's part of our heritage. No matter what, Edmonton is better than Calgary, in every aspect, simply because I'm from Edmonton. They teach this in schools here.

And visa versa, if I was from Calgary...

But it's an intimate feud. Only those who enjoy S&M would understand. And in this case, calgary is our bitch. :D

It's not that Edmonton is small time, it's just that Calgary's skyline is that of a city 5x the size, we are just so big time (not to get cocky, but it is true) we make Edmonton look small, when in fact it has a skyline of a city 2-3x it's size.

What is the point of this discussion, in it's current form?

Calgary has nice shinny office towers, and Edmonton doesn't have as many.

Calgary has some more height, a big obsession for those in Calgary compensating for something else.

Point? There is none. So everyone (cold, johnnyc) untie the knot in your collective panties.

And yes, that post was an insult, though, not direct, it certain was there, and intentional.

Far far far behind every other city in Canada, but only if looking at Vancouver, Toronto or Calgary? Didn't realize these were the only cities in Canada. Winnipeg, Regina, Saskatoon, Ottawa, montreal, London, Hamilton, etc, pay attention, according to JohnnyC, you don't exist in Canada.

I really don't see how relevant it is how many buildings over 12 floors a city has...particularly when the point of discussion seems to be something along the lines of "Calgary's soon-to-be tallest may be 300 feet taller than ours but we have a few more buildings over 12 floors than you..." followed by "no you don't..." "yes you do..." etc.

Bottom line, Edmonton is a little late out of the starting blocks but it looks like their latest proposals are getting taller - hopefully they will start to see more big boys in the years to come. You can still build to nearly 500' there, which is not too shabby at all. Look at what Vancouver did with a similar limit pre Shangri-la.

Feb 6, 2008, 2:15 AM
^There are now special exceptions for prominent sites. As well the developers have to jump through many hoops for increased density such as superior architecture, public amenities/art, heritage density transfers etc. The city has also hinted that it will allow taller office towers in the future to deal with the lack of space downtown.

The airport lands aren't downtown and there really isn't a need to build 400 - 500+ footers (the cause of the nearby airport ) anywhere in Canada in order to build up density

It's a supply thing, you Vancouver guys wouldn't understand.


developers have decided instead to build en masse. For one, high condo prices, would just push people to the suburbs so the developers have to keep decent prices.

Nonetheless, 23,000 condos were sold in the GTA last year.

doesnt matter how many are sold...it is to whom they are sold to that counts...

That Niagara Falls picture is clearly quite a few years old and that is obviously the Embassy Suites (completed 2003) under construction. Last I saw, the Hilton addition was at about 3 floors above ground. Here is a rendering of the finished tower as well as some (fairly) recent construction photos from October/November.

Thanks,

I haven't been to Niagara Falls in months.. and have no clue where this one is at.

And for some reason we have lost our previously huge Niagara Falls continegent on this forum.

Here is a skyline shot that I took back in October. I kind of like the new buildings in Niagara Falls, much classier than things used to be. I remember when I was a kid and the only tall building (other than the Skylon Tower) was the Minolta Tower (the one that looks like a microphone). Things sure have changed.

That $200,000 buys you 500 square feet facing an elevator which I guess is still pretty good

I wouldn't mind as long as I was downtown.

sorry but Montreal (the city not the metro) is 500 +/- 10 at most

You do realize a highrise on Emporis is either 12 storeys or a building with a known height above 35m

I count 226 12+ storey buildings for Edmonton and Calgary is obviously really outdated - tarjan pointe is not under construction

AAHHH - If only it never was U/C.:yuck:

Absolute World in Mississauga. These models look fantastic, we can only hope the buildings turn out this good when complete.
