A. "get" should read "great"
B. I'm a trusting person
C. you're drawings (assuming you've drawn them) are now too short

Yes someone needs to post an update to the top 10 list, and one of the Maple Leaf Towers, or Jamison Place-Centinnenial Place in Calgary has to come out....

A. Yes it's great that we have accurate(possibly, I hope Cityzen's source is verified) height info on the Absoulteworld towers.
B. Thats good, so am I generally.
C. No one else drew any of my drawings. You'll have to use your trusting nature to accept that. The only drawing that might be too short now is my diagram of Absoluteworld 4. And that one is quite old now, one of the earliest I ever made. Just with MS paint and its amazing 64 colors. I've been holding off making an updated, more professional version, and now I'm glad I did...

Still get the feeling that you are interpreting my post as some sort of shot at you. This couldn't be further from the truth. We all appreciate what you do not only in drawing hundreds of buildings but keeping up them up to date as new information is found.

My appreciation is why I like to keep old versions of redesigned proposals as cancelled projects eventhough it has led to some heated debate.

Let's just hope this guy is who he says he is. The one thing good about all the real estate spamming UT's development forum is that it is attracting many representatives of the developers.

fair enough... you know i'm not afraid to revise a diagram as new info becomes available
Here's an off-topic question for you, now that FCP is being re-clad, should a new diagram be made of how it will look in 2 or 3 years?

All photos from the awesome 'Bulliver'

Those floors do not look exceptional high for a 28 storey tower that is supposedly 149m high

Daveography · #**1948** Posted **Oct 29, 2009, 8:17 PM**

^ The photo doesn't give a great sense of the scale of it.

Its a safety regulation. There cant be open floorplates at the entrance to the man and materials hoist.

I'm excited to see some cladding go up on Epcor, it will really make or break this tower... Well I guess it does on most towers, but regardless.

Coldrsx · #**1954** Posted **Oct 30, 2009, 2:28 AM**

just a shame EPCOR tower is on the fringe of the core and not in the core of the core....

Daveography · #**1955** Posted **Oct 30, 2009, 4:52 AM**

^ At least our CN tower finally has some company. The two towers can keep eachother warm on cold Edmonton nights.

^i preferred it being alone... it is timeless.

Don't worry, it still is timeless, and it's unique location at the end of 100 St. will ensure it always stays prominent.

Coldrsx · #**1959** Posted **Oct 30, 2009, 3:33 PM**

from KLC... EPCOR tower from the NE with the LRT lines somewhat evident as well as 'Quest', a 22 storey condo going up on the far right.

Dylan Leblanc · #**1960** Posted **Oct 30, 2009, 6:24 PM**

wow, Epcor jumped 8 levels since last I saw it!

Where's the LRT line??
