Seriously, Toronto is a monster! more pics are always welcome!
Vancouver and Calgary construction is really interesting to watch too.

What's the problem with Jamieson Place??? Montreal would gladly grab it, it's sooo much better than having parking lots next to our most prestigious towers (PVM, 1250 RL)

My gripe is with the glazing - too reflective, and don't care for the contrast in the two tones. Maybe it will look better in the summer when it reflects the greenery? Otherwise, it's a bit dated design-wise

(reminds me of our TD Tower which was built in 1991!) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TD_Cana...Tower,_Calgary

...but I'd be fine with it if it had more transparent glazing. Still, you're right - better than a parking lot, and I do not mean to complain about a 560-footer.

I think Jamieson will look good at night though, when the "racing stripes" will actually serve a purpose - namely accommodating those LED's that will run the full height of the building. In fact the night-time rendering looks promising:

You can afford to be picky when you have so much better going up. I do hate parking lots however, I still sometimes rather keep the parking lot for just the chance of a better proposal.

for instance, I'd rather a parking lot for the next 20 years than this http://www.tobuilt.ca/php/tobuilding...earch_fd0=1537 for the next one hundred

I love our CN Tower but so tall, it makes everything around it look so short -like the 50 storey RBC or Success.

Yea, its huge. But if gives our skyline edge. If we didn't have it we would look just like any other city.

I have to say, as gaudy as that building will probably end up being, a big chunky wedding cake of a tower will be a welcome departure from the endless wall of glass going up along the Gardiner...

Thumbs down arriVa 42 in Calgary on hold

I just took a walk around the arriVa 42 site. At all entrances there is a notice on the fencing from Torode Residential stating that the project is on hold.

Ouch! That really sucks. The next phase of Arriva would've been the tallest residential in Calgary correct?

^ Tallest west of TO if i am not mistaken.

Quite lame though. At least work has progressed enough that it will likely eventually be finished
