Sorry fellas, but red on the outside is just cheesy and takes the class of something like this down a notch. Not even Edmonton was stupid enough to go with team colors to any discernible degree on the exterior envelope. I don't think I can think of many huge arena projects that have done it either.

Our city flag has red on it. Does it mean it uses team colors on the outside? There is plenty of red in our city. Saddledome, Calgary Tower, Peace Bridge and I'm sure there's more.
As for your earlier comment about other industries other than O&G, while heavily influenced by O&G, I know finance grew in this city, and logistics was supposed to grow immensely as well (note logistics hub in NE being built by the airport). We are supposed to be starting more international flights in a few years too but I believe direct flights to Dubai were scuttled.
This however would do nothing to fill additional office space in the down town area... but these buildings remind me of the NEB building on 5th street and 10th Ave which should easily be filled by small firms.
