Canada Tallest U/C

Those Edmonton towers are such a game changer that after they are done any other proposal under 500ft. is going to be minimalized because they have raised the bar so high that anything under 500ft will be kinda meh . I hope not but attitudes there could change and 500 footer will be "boring "

Edmonton's skyline is already looking totally different with these two new towers. Once Stantec is complete it will be a beast! Talk about totally changing a skyline. Im excited to see all the pictures once its topped out.

Tommy ThompsonPark/Leslie Spit

I was out to Tommy Thompson park for a third year.....this is a tradition at this point haha. I'm amazed by how much the skyline has changed in two years:
11. E Condos (Toronto): 194.4m / 638ft
[IMG]TJ089241 by Josh Kenn Photographics, on Flickr[/IMG]
In the right....25. The Selby (Toronto): 165.6m / 543ft
The centre: 29. The Grid (Toronto): 157m / 515ft

Canadian Construction

Coldrsx love your pictures they are great . Is that the Pearl on the far left? If so from certain angles it looks like a 600-700 footer. I think it is 400 feet correct ?
