The interesting thing about this tower (for us skyscraper nerds anyways) is that it is the exact same height that Petro-Can was for a long time (689 feet). It is only recently that someone changed the height so Petro-Can is now slightly over 700 feet. I expect some slick salesman from Calgary talked some official skyscraper committee member somewhere to include the mechanical penthouse so Calgary can say it has a 700 footer!

So now we aren't including mechanical floors? Gimme a fuckin break buddy. Its not like we threw up an antenna or even a spire for christsakes. We're not exactly talking about the Guangzhou TV Tower here. You're just breaking our balls man.
