Uptown and Crystal Blu are definetly not skyscrapers that bring out the best in Toronto Architecture/skyscrapers... so it makes us look bad in a way... but we've got plenty of other fine lookin skyscrapers to contend with Vancouver !

Vancouver's just got all the good cladding

Nice captures of Epcor!

Its starting to look a little like X Condo did in a sense (not necessarily a bad thing)...

The straight-forward floor plans and the dark cladding when viewed from a distance! Cool stuff!

Shot #2 of Absolute is INSANE!!! It looks like someone could just take a sword and slice in in half!

Here's Festival by miketoronto at SSP:

It looks like we're done pouring floors! Now on to the mechanical!





Here's a photo by urbandreamer on UT:

The Crystal Blu cladding looks almost at the top! The new One Bloor will be the centerpiece of this shot!
