Calgary is the 3rd largest city in Canada by population (1,240,000) and is the largest city of the Calgary Census Metropolitan Area in Alberta (containing 1,393,000, the 4th largest in Canada).
Downtown is located on a gentle bend of the Bow River which forms its Northern boundary. I will define Downtown as including the adjacent districts of Downtown Commercial Core, Downtown West End, Eau Claire, Downtown East Village, and Chinatown, as well as Beltline to the South of those districts.
This thread will focus on closer views of the latest highrises, especially the glassy blue ones that are prevalent, and then on several of the contemporary midrises.
Contemporary midrises:
Studio Bell:
This unique new museum is billed as the National Music Centre and is a striking addition in the East Village.
