Great updates.

The lighting feature is simple, but quite noticeable.

Cool shot, I think that is my favorite new skyscraper in the country at the moment.

Telus Sky should be better at night once the LEDs are all installed (is there a lighting scheme on Vancouver House?), but that's something I'll comment on when I see it.

I prefer the dark material on Telus Sky, I also prefer tapered towers one of the reason I'm a huge Art Deco fan. It's all personal preference though and both towers are great.

Currently Toronto has both of them as Bjarke Ingels was in town to tour his pavillion that was just set up on the future site of his "The KingToronto" project.

I'm loving three sides of Massey. That northern face though just irks me every time I see it.

I love that last shot of Edmonton. Those two just loom over the skyline in a pretty substantial way, especially in the case of that view.

****…..that King project is happening? It makes sense that it would.....but I prefer the buildings there as is, this new development just looks absurd, and dominating IMO.

I'm not sure, it seems like a good marketing ploy though using his art at the site and showing off his Canadian condo models. I agree, I prefer that block as is. I love The King but it feels a little to heavy and large for that site. It would be great on the waterfront.

The Flames can still go ahead and lose every game they ever play again though as far as I'm concerned.

I feel the same about the Canucks. With your worst goons playing for Anaheim and the Sedin sisters ready to retire though I'm going to need some new villains.

That is amazing! You should get some better pics of the models. Is that pavilion permanent? It should be.
