Slightly different version of a rendering that's been around before.

This is moving at a good clip. Hopefully we can see a crane up before the snow flies.

You never when the snow will hit Calgary lol! Although I bet we'll see a crane up before we get into the real cold.

I'm thinking 6-8 weeks and we'll see a crane.

Kind of reminds me of the "Blue Cross Blue Shield" building in Chicago. It was built at 34 stories and after 8-10 years, they added 24 more floors! Maybe this could be something of the same thing. When I look at to top of the building, it reminds me of that!

I nice quiet Sunday walk.

Quite a lot of earth still to come out. Probably won't see a crane until about mid-December I'm guessing.

Design-mind · #52 Posted **Nov 25, 2013, 12:14 AM**

Crane is up. Let the tower rise!

Excellent! Another one leaving the proposals section very shortly.

So how tall to the roof? I guess 120 meters?

I don't it listed anywhere, but I thought it was 125M.

Ouuu even better. Calgary is on fire!

Surrealplaces · #57 Posted **Nov 26, 2013, 5:23 PM**

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the height for this one is actually 99M (90M to bottom of mechanical penthouse, and 99M to the top of the structure) They had to keep it within the bylaw...most likely the shadow bylaw.

Chadillaccc · #58 Posted **Nov 26, 2013, 6:34 PM**

Wow what a buzz kill!

Kind of surprised it is the shadow bylaw as there is a parking lot and a condo development to the North between it and the river. I just thought it was a cost issue vs revenue issue.

^ That's par for the course! ^
