A giant hand possibly with arm flipping the bird to Edmonton. Make the scale relative to the head at the base of the Bow building. Maybe we can get a "dismembered wireframe man" theme going to decorate each new building.
I live near Nose Hill. My house is higher than the ski jump.
Whoa whoa whoa.
I am a proud alumni of the COP guest tours team, and can assure you that Nose Hill Park, or any other area in the city is not higher in elevation than the top of the 90m tour.
I have impressed many Asian tourists with that fact.

Late 2017, I wonder if we still plan on moving in there from the Bow
Last I heard is all Cenovus has planned is meeting their lease terms, i.e. get dry wall installed on their floors, and nothing else is happening, so I would be surprised to see anyone moving over, unless they are just moving over all existing furniture and technology as well.

Well I'll be... It always looked lower form the top of Nose hill, but checking Google Earth, the top of Nose hill is 1230m, the same height as the base of the tower of the ski jump. The highest houses in the city are in Royal Oak at 1279m, as near as I can see. Learn something new every day, thanks!

The DP shows almost 5 regular office floors.
The mockup is a full five, so basically similar to the mockup but a bit shorter. In the end the crown will be quite big, once done Brookfield will look much taller than the Bow from certain angles.

Is that like a canopy with a glass top adding to the elevation?
I've always been interested in city skylines. Don't know why.
Pretty much, and it should be lit up quite nicely and stand out.
Well actually what Fuzz said, like a skirting that goes above the roofline but it's open to the elements up top. Look over to the new Eau Claire tower west of Centennial Place to see the same type of effect. They kept the curtainwall glass going up above the top floor for two more storeys to hide all the mechanical. Makes for a nice effect.

Nice. That's a good mock up. Kinda makes me wish they left some empty space in the crown, like a hollowed out cube or something but yeah, if they light it up it'll look pretty good.
Some of the details of the facade/crown on Brookfield are really cool.
I haven't been following this thread closely, so I'm not sure if anyone pointed this out or has noticed, but the chamfer radius of the building's corners gets larger as the building rises. The facade corners are a single piece of rounded glass.
The crown uses similar rounded panels of glass at the peak when it bends back downward toward the roof.
