I really wish they would have put these super tall towers more in the middle downtown. The skyline's going to look weird from a lot of angles when these are done.

If you only compare it against finished buildings, it would be the 4th tallest in Canada.

Ok yeah. Wiki lists buildings and structures differently. CN tower does not count as a building by the definition I used.

Just more incentive to push past 1000' when the next one is built in the CBD.

I think it’s fantastic. The new arena along with the BMO centre will be the catalysts for continued urban renewal in the area for years to come.

It amazes me how the arena naysayers would have been perfectly satisfied with the loss of the Flames and no inner city growth.

These projects are a defining moment in the history of our city.

100%. Definitely no more nuance to the city paying hundreds of millions to fund billionaires and their arena that they'll profit from than "arena naysayers would have been satisficed with the loss of the Flames and no inner city growth". Jesus.

Everyone knows libs hate inner city growth. It’s what we’ve been fighting against for decades. Urban sprawl forever!!

I also think it is a bit weird to have such tall buildings in that area. However, I don’t think you can get much taller than Brookfield downtown, as those would potentially block sunlight on the river.
