No thanks... lol, But I do have the Burano thread to keep updated...
Might be nice to be responsible for this rather important thread and all that, but I'm way too busy making diagrams. Good on Ramako for stepping up to the plate!

Don't worry... in addition to skyscrapers I also enjoy making orderly lists and updating them vigilantly.

Anyway, Koops needs to devote his time to drawing cool diagrams.

Are we ditching the old thread?

EDIT: I guess we are

Here's a question i have.. I've noticed "WHISTLERINMUSKOKA" has started many threads we have and has been banned... Who is/was he and why was he banned?

Great job.

I'm very happy with the Trump Toronto cladding.

The Bow in Calgary looks fantastic. The curve of the building makes it resemble Toronto City Hall, but on steroids. Looking good, Calgary.

Thanks for taking this on.

I guess when we find out about "Vancouver's Turn" at 188 meters now in a few weeks (I believe we may see construction start again sometime this spring) it will make this list as well?

Assuming that MLS and Centennial are complete and Ice and L Tower have begun construction, it should come in at #10 knocking out Absolute. It's noteworthy that it would be the only tower on the list shorter than 200m.

Ritz will be off the list by june or july and then Absolute will pop back on then. I still have no idea why there is such a holdup with the framing of the roof element on the Ritz.....its been stuck in the same place for almost a month.

Don't forget that the shorter Ice tower will still be taller than Absolute. Once L Tower, both Ice towers, and the Vancouver twisty start, Absolute is probably off the list for good.

Hold up on the RC roof? Pretty obvious: they gotta remove tower crane to finish it! So until glass and other materials are lifted up, it can't be finished.

oh ok... I thought they could at least complete the back end around the crane while it was still up. Didn't realize the entire crane structure had to be removed before they could finish it off.
