Did a VERY rough sketch of this on Paint at work - judging by the size of the Oxford lot, the dimensions of the rumoured tower look to be fairly slim. Threw in Brookfield for comparison - this sketch represents a 280m-290m proposed tower.

That Oxford sketch up may be close to 300m, though the base starts well above grade, so the top of that tower looks to be more like 350m - too much for our current skyline.

I'm hoping you really meant McHugh's Bluff up in west Crescent Heights and Rosedale - Hugh's Bluff would be a new one to me and I've resided in Calgary for over 35 years.

^Sweet! amazing that almost every high rise in that shot is a recently built tower....this particular skyline didn't exist 10 years ago.

^I like how the towers in the east part of the Beltline have added some good symmetry to the skyline from this angle.

Agree. I also like the "2 Skylines" look when driving on Deerfoot NB approaching Memorial
