Yeah, it's gonna be amazing in a couple years once Telus Sky and Brookfield Place are dominating the skyline! We still have 35 towers under construction, not to mention an unprecedented amount of infill. I would say the city is just capitalizing on being a great place to live now that people know it's not just "the oil capital". Even with the oil crash, our metropolitan area growth was nearly 50 000 again this year
We've seen a basically a total halt in construction of office towers this year, though residential has really picked up the slack. This isn't the first crash, and certainly won't be the last.
and thanks guys! Glad you liked the pics!
