However I love the look of this tower, we need something like this in Calgary to stand out from a lot of the usual office tower filler we are getting lately. Apart from a few standouts like the Foster designed The Bow I find a lot of the other projects to be ok but nothing that grabs the eye. This project looks sharp!
Can't wait to see some photos of it as it takes shape!
