^finally starting to go up instead of just being a hole in the ground.

^and i would be fine with that as long as it's still good and tall. i am curious though if there really is a coalmine directly below where they want to put it and whether or not that would effect how high they can go.

^cool ! that type of offset floor design at the top is going to look so great here! :cool:

^sweet Dave! i work in the CAT building and the only thing i can see is the crane because the parkade and L building are in the way.

^sweet. both Stantec and Marriott are rising to unknown heights here together. can't wait until they pass the older high rises and start reaching for the sky.

it'll be fun to see the shell of this building reach the top of the other modestly high buildings downtown....then keep going!! can't wait for this to happen!

^unfortunately some older people live in a bubble where everything is OK just the way it is. me on the other hand, being an older guy myself but not yet an old man, say FULL SPEED AHEAD !! the more towers the merrier ! anything that will make the downtown transform from a graveyard to lively is...

x2. another poster who wandered over from Connect2Edmonton i take it?

dumpster diving pays off, eh? :p;)

yup, all kinds of drug deals, car thefts, vandalism and tagging, and dumpster diving. ;):p but i agree with what you say.

^i can't wait to see when this one starts to surpass the other modestly high buildings we have and really starts to get up into the sky ! :cool:

^man i love it ! it's rising very quickly.

^sweet !! :)

rise me lovely rise....

lol....sorry guys! brain fart. i wonder where the soil goes that is dug out of the building site?

^i always wondered too? where does it go?

ya it's too bad it looks shorter than the old rendering i saw, but i like this one and having it the size of Manulife is passible. at least it isn't a shorty like COE at a measly 111 meters or so? that building could have looked great with the bow in the middle if it had just been significantly...

^i hope it is because it would add a little color to a sea of glass and stucco.

you and me both. super excited !!

i think i'm really gonna like the height of this next Fox tower.
