1 - Curry Barracks ramps up with some of the high rises that are proposed for the area 2 - Flames and City settle their differences and get the ball rollin on an arena 3 - Brentwood Commons starts construction (and is built at the originally planned height) 4 - 3 tower proposal at Elbow River...

Yea I definitely seemed to notice that. I was glad to see Calgary had the third most votes for best skyline. Don't get me wrong Montreal has history and cool architecture but I don't get how anyone could like it's skyline over Calgary's and in saying that I've even grown to appreciate Montreal's...

So I was cruising some of The Great Canadian Skyline threads of SSP and SSC and I gotta say...despite the awesome photos Surreal, this Boris guy and a couple others posted, I felt Calgary was very under represented and cities like Quebec City and Halifax had more postings. Obviously there was...

Cool Video! Really wish Calgary got more 747s and A-380s.

While looking for those two videos for Operator I came across this which I thought was really well done video as well.

Check these out Operator

Ok good that had me worried.

what do you mean the towers are not going ahead?

Awesome pics, thanks for the link that's just what I was looking for. Can't wait for this to be complete from an efficiency perspective in getting from Tuscany to the SW but also just from an urban take.

I wonder when we'll start seeing some of the high rises going ahead.

In that case Crowfoot would be an awesome location for a few highrises as it's in a corner of the city and up high so it would really spread the city out so to speak from a visual perspective. With the LRT and Stoney right there it has excellent location.

I've often thought that too but they would have to demo some buildings there to make room no? It's not like a very old area too.

I'd really like to see some commercial/residential high rises outside the core. I had a total boner for that Currie project but that doesn't seem to be going anywhere. I'd like Calgary to have more nodes of high rises like metro Vancouver.

I'm quite looking forward to this. It will fill in the hole in the skyline from my vantage point at the Air Canada lounge in the airport :) Hope it goes up soon, starting with the 50 story one!

Yea I think Edmonton will lock down the 5th position of best skyline in Canada once Ice District is complete. As for Calgary's international recognition I think it depends who ya ask. Calgary just isn't big enough yet to garnish much attention on the international stage, for example when I go to...

Great response Oddball. I like what you said about you not being to Montreal factoring in to your decision because that would affect me as well. I included Edmonton because I think with Stantec and the Marriot and other towers involved with the Ice District it is gonna join Calgary, TO, Vancity...

I've never been big on the Montreal Skyline, however after looking at it closer recently my appreciation for it has grown. I just find Calgary's sleeker, more modern and it clearly has the height and density in it's favor as well. I will give symmetry to Montreal though. I always tell people I...

Dang I was hoping this forum were to get posted in the general discussion tab. If any admins @Surrealplaces are able to switch it for me rather than this watch forum or can tell me how to do it that would be cool. Thanks in advance!

Hey folks, I wanna hear other peoples opinions on this. When I see other cities skylines I always mentally stack them up to Calgary. I was wondering what other people's thoughts are on Calgary's skyline compared to others across Canada, North America, the world ect. As for me per capita I think...
