Wow, Edmonton's looks exactly like the podium of First Canadian Place.

When I was last in Montreal I was wondering why they still had the old BMO logo up there. Anyone know?

Montreal's is pretty and all, but you'd think they would have a much bigger building than that.

The Winnipeg office ( Old Building ) was actually going to be torn down not that long ago, idiot of a mayor we had then. Also the building right beside it, which lost its naming rights as it now has MTS on it, is part of the Bank still, the bank just gave up the naming rights to the tower. Edit: also MTS took the naming rights to the one even further back. Pretty much MTS is stamped on a lot of downtown buildings. But it is the tower right beside it.

2. Calgary
3. Vancouver

There is a really cool office space at the top of the Calgary Branch. It is vaulted with a spiral staircase and skylight.

Beautiful! It's really amazing to see just how much beautiful architecture the big banks are responsible for across Canada.

They're all pretty nice in my eyes

I like Toronto's quite a bit.

I like Montreal, Calgary, Halifax and Winnipeg's as well though Winnipeg's as bluenote mentioned is now an MTS tower more than anything.

I don't have exact numbers but I would guess that Desjardins is first, closely followed by the National Bank. Who's next in line I have no idea but I would guess RBC has the number 3 spot, though TD has recently been making some large investments to increase its presence here.

surprised not more love for the Vancouver one, I love that tower (Bentall 3 or 4, I forget which one it is).

They have such a classic office imperial look, and have terrific presence in the CBD on Burrard street.

Waterloo has 2, including the one tall office tower in Uptown Waterloo.

The old one (with the new one behind it):



The "new" one, Marsland Centre:

For me:

1. Vancouver
VERY CLOSE 2. Toronto

I love the heritage portions of the Winnipeg/Montreal ones as well, assuming the towers surrounding both are also part of the office complex.
