Anywhere in Canada outside of Toronto really. Even in Vancouver it would be a nice office tower. I guess that's what happens when you have projects like Telus Sky and Manulife.

Putting my civic boosterism aside, I think we should probably withhold final judgement on this tower until the roof element is in place. Right now, it just looks like a glass box...the terraces and fins at the top are arguably going to be this building's most interesting features.

i actually love this tower. as was mentioned. paying attention to its location near the river. stepping down in this way will hopefully influence other developers to pay more attention to the location of there projects and design them to match their surroundings much better. also, i love the way they mounted the glass. first rate imo.

The webcam seems to be up and running now Jim - hadn't had a look at it in a while, but it looks good. Haven't heard anything about why it may be down, I think the cam is more of a Cadillac Fairview side of things

I really like this building. I like the subtle angle changes to the east and west facades.

I like City Centre also. It's not as good as I was hoping for, but still very solid.

Even though the glass is somewhat dark and not very transparent, it still blows away Jamieson. City Centre has a more elegant look to it.

This thing is going to be 170 meters tall, Tallbob. Jamieson Place's roof height is only 158 meters. It still has a ways to go, plus the crown. Hasn't even reached the first setback.
