^ I think that's the first shot I've seen of Telus taken from the North side of the building. It looks bigger without the bank towers looming behind it.

Like I said before, Calgary can only dream about a few condo towers like the ones shown above! Toronto's got some nice looking towers with some great height!

Calgary has a very nice office tower going up which more the equals the combined effort of all the GTA condos and office projects.

Calgary's got a few impressive new buildings but to "more than equal the combined efforts of all the gta condos combined" ? Flattery indeed.

i would, however, trade 1 Bow for 1 B/A and 1 Telus.

or 1 Bow for the Murano bros. and an Aura.

I wouldn't trade Murano.

I'd trade a Bay Adelaide, a Shangri-la or L tower, and the Absolute twins or an Aura, a One Bloor and a completed Cityplace tower of their choice.

I would also trade BA and Telus for the BOW.

Aura...I'm not sure I would trade that, because it will be curtain wall glass, it will be almost the 75% of the size of The Bow, and it will be taller. (1.5 million sq -total floor area for Aura)

I have seen most angles and they are quite bland as a group. Concord has a reputation for mediocrity in design...

weak

Wait until you see the Panorama Tower that is going up. - You might have to check yourself.

Size & height really doesn't matter not to mention almost every new condo in Calgary is curtain wall. (not to Aura's proposed standards though)

Aura may possibly be Graziani + Corrazza greatest work however, they are still hacks compared to other Toronto firms let alone an international powerhouse like Foster & Partners.
