The new version I'll definitely take. I like the lighted "crown horns" at the top. If they turn out to be off most of the time (transcanada tower) or they decide not to respond to any malfunctions, *COUGH ARRIVA*, I will be ticked. Hope to see it go ahead though

I took one of AB Born's photos from the Calgary Tower and chopped-in Herald Square.

AB Born, I hope you don't mind

That's awesome! I know that Herald Square isn't widely loved but there is something classic about it. I hope that whatever Brookfield comes up with has some nice design flare to it!

Been a while!

Here are some new ones, there will be more to come.

A shot from the south, looking north. 225 Sixth, the new proposed tallest is there, with a few others:



A closer view from the south, with the 6 biggest towers in the city:



A view from the North, overlooking the Bow.


Just for fun, what it could look like looking up at 225 Sixth complex, Suncor and the Bow.

The north view is excellent. I like the impact 3 Eau Claire has from that view. I quite like that one... pretty daring for Calgary.

Many thanks!

Wow! Density! Looking slick - north view is something else with all the blue-glass lined up left to right. Dare I say we're in the big leagues now?

Thanks guys!
I'd say we're looking pretty big league now, and even bigger league in the near future

This one is actually very close to the other rendering Brookfield included in the DP, maybe just offset a little more to the SW than the one I saw. I'd say you're pretty much bang on with the depiction of the height from that view though.

Fantastic CtrlAltDel!

The night view from the north looks awesome. Just imagine the addition of a 350m tower on the former IOL site

Wow! Awesome work as always CAD. Looks better from the north than I had imagined it would. Dammit I still wish they'd had the balls to go a bit taller so it was at least head and shoulders above the rest of DT. Like 850'. But still not too shabby.

PS> Nice East Village addition of Fuse, Evolve and First in that second last rendering.

As I suspected, the only real view that HS stands out is from the north.

Excellent work as always, C-A-D!
