A thread for people to post skyline renderings

Sounds good to me!!!!

What are all of the current projects going up that will add to the skyline? Let me know, and I'll see what I can do.

My first attempt at a London render. I only know of the possible revival of Two London Place and Renaissance tower II so those are the only ones I added. Hope you like!

Cool! Nice to see a future London rendering. It won't be too much longer untill we see Ren. II take it's place in the skyline.

Pretty sure Two London Place would be almost entirely obscured by One London Place from this angle. If Two could be seen at all, it would be slightly to the left of OLP.

I think.

Chadillaccc · #7 Posted **Feb 5, 2012, 10:24 PM**

I assumed it would be located on the surface parking lot to the west of OLP, as that is the only reasonable location for it, so that's where I put it. If the city has other ideas, I weep for the future of the skyline

Nah, Two London Place will actually be mirrored and built on the triangle of grass east of One London Place. The skyline photo you've been using is from the same direction as OLP's shadow, so I'm pretty sure Two would basically be unseen from that vantage point.

whatever happened to ldoto? Never posts around these parts anymore.

It will be thats where its parking structure is. I have been in the parking garage skipping a mass(went to CCH) the pillers are massive

Funny, I was looking back through the 2008 and 2009 posts recently, and I thought the same thing.

ldoto made a post over at Skyscrapercity last month: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showth...27026&page=103

I used to go to that site often before I registered here.

Where do / did you guys find information on Two London Place? Off of this site I had never seen anything on it before. I have admired OLP since I was a kid, but the prospects of this city going ahead with another large scale office building seem pretty dim, given our current office vacancy rate...

He's given up the ghost. Vanished like a fart in the wind. Too bad, as he was my substitute for LFP articles.

So! With all the new building proposals and constructions I put these together in a basic way - I'm sure it's not perfect but I certainly wanted to express my excitement about what all of these buildings could do to our fantastic skyline.

(Hope the URL works... Never tried doing it before)
Thank you Google Earth and MS Paint!

bolognium · #16 Posted **Nov 20, 2016, 10:28 PM**

Cool stuff, Fazdeh. It looks pretty accurate to me, and the only flaw I noticed was the Clarence project. You have it drawn in the middle of Queens Ave, instead of the lot south of the white office building.

FazDeH · #17 Posted **Nov 21, 2016, 10:49 AM**

true, not sure why I thought that building was north of that little white one... that really would put it smack in the middle of Queen street...

jammer139 · #18 Posted **Nov 21, 2016, 12:06 PM**

This is indeed very cool.

some additions:

1.Drewlo is proposing a 16s tower on west side of Talbot just a few blocks north of Central.

2.There is a 9s tower proposed on south side of York just a few buildings west of the bus station.

3.Old Oaks 32s tower at 515 Richmond should be shown as taller then the 29s on Talbot.

4.Southside proposed 25s on King appears to be too tall

Good notes - this will be a work in progress until it looks the way it should I will tinker with it again soon.

I've even thought about doing a second version with all the cancelled proposals. That would be wildly different.

Good work. I'm sure you will be adding more buildings to it over the next few years that are not announced already.
