You're a tad late. 
But I guess it does deserve it's own thread.

I'm guessing the architect hasn't heard of pigeons. They will love all those little ledges.

They're balconies (top 30 or so floors are residential). So same problem I guess as every other residential building?

Officially confirmed to be 220m. That will make the 2nd tallest in the city once complete, unless Brookfield Place (aka: 225-6 aka: Herald Square) is complete before that. In which case it will be #3.

If you live there and work in the Bow, that would be nice.

Yeah, we have like 8 pages in the other thread but this building definitely deserves it's own thread.
This picture is stunning.

WOW! That is the kind of architecture that is going to move our city into the big leagues. Absolutely awesome. As a gy who has lived here y whole life, it is mind boggling the changes in the downtown skyline we are seeing every two years. My favorite part of my drive everyday is crossing the Bow on Crowchild, and taking a look at our incredible downtown skyline now.

Imagine living there and working there.
Edit: And having a train station at the base when you're bothered to go outside.

Love all the pictures showing the Telus Sky rising among several other buildings that are currently under construction.... still under construction. I guess this thing will be built instantaneously?

I've only spotted one that's shown under construction, and that's Nuera. There's other buildings that will be going up before it gets finished, but to render someone else's unfinished building is kind of a waste of their time.

Several? What?
Why would they render other buildings (that they have zero interest in) to be completed?
What SebC said. lol
