Looks to me like Toronto and Calgary will see the most transformation by far. After Shangrila I'd say Vancouver won't be in the running for awhile.

That's amazing work Maldive....the realism in the first shot is unbelieveable.

holy wow, i never realized how imposing the SkyDome was until now

The first one made you famous ... this one will make you a God!!!

^ just when I thought my career was in the dumper.... a promotion!
:notacrook: Thanks! FYI... for those who follow Toronto developments closely, some very large office projects like Richmond Adelaide 3, 151 Front Street West and BCE 3 that would impact this render, were left out on the assumption they wouldn't be starting any time soon courtesy of world economic meltdown (a couple of new proposals in the entertainment district were included for fun but no biggie).... the aim was a future skyline that was 90% accurate within the next 4 or 5 years... so certain condos not yet U/C made it into the render, when office projects did not. |

Some of those towers in the Calgary pics are still only proposals and I presume the same thing for TO, but nonetheless both cities are BALLIN.

The only really tall one (though approved long ago) with an iffy start date is Cityplace Signature.... however I think the building will still launch in the near term rather than be put on hold. I think most surfers are missing the LINK below to the really BIG version. Have a look if you have a decent connection. - LINK TO LARGE RENDERING |

Now though you're right, Calgary and Toronto are undergoing transformative changes. |

Beautiful job Maldive! Toronto's skyline will be amazing with all those additions.
I wish we had a Vancouverite with that kind of talent to provide us with a future skyline rendering for Vancouver. Unfortunately we've really been lacking in that department for awhile. The best thing I can find for now is a recent pic posted by LeftCoaster with the future BC Place renovations/additions added into the skyline. Unfortunately it doesn't include any other future projects: http://img359.imageshack.us/img359/1705/1865432ty8.jpg |
Are the lands on the north-east of false creek, opposite the olympic village slated to fill up with development anytime soon?
|
I totally missed that BC Place reno... talk about turning a sow's ear into a silk purse. It looks terrific... future aerials will benefit greatly when the reno is complete. Bye bye carbuncle. Is it underway?

However, none of these buildings is under construction, and I think only the 2 rightmost towers will start before 2010. - Marriott hotel, 29fl, 110m, across the street from Place Ville Marie - 701 University, 33fl, ~140m, at the entrance of the CBD |
Maldive's renderings are the stuff of genius.
