Neato. If that is indeed the final height, that should finally give some nice separation between it and the Bow.

sorry, but your parapet appears to be 8 storey tall.

The question in my mind is whether the top of the white steel section is the first "floor" of the crown, or if it's the second (as there does appear to be a level below it).
According to the drawings, the crown should be about the height of 4 regular floors. If that is the case, to my eye, Surrealplaces rendering is perhaps a touch too tall, but not wildly off.

The crown looks a little bit tall, but it's not that far off. The height of the crown in the rendering is about 6 regular office floors and on the diagram in the permit it's 5 1/2 floors so maybe a little tall but not that much out of whack.

He says one of the big tower cranes is coming down at the end of June.
Sawheet! Lucky friend, he's got some cool photo ops.
I remember back in the day when the Scotia Tower was the tallest office building in the city. Now it's way down below the view.

A live webcam of construction that I don't think we've seen before - can see the crown getting completed:

Nice find. I've never seen that webcam angle before, only the one from Suncor.

I'll be sure to get all over his case when Telus Sky starts moving upwards with more gusto. I know he's already done some work on it so I think his company has the contract.
What really gets me is how short Bankers Hall looks in that picture. For more than half my life I think it was easily number 2 in the city. He said he wasn't even at the top for this one and it already looks so small.
I was wondering if that shot was from the top. I can only imagine what it would look like from up top in the crane, with the crane at its peak.

I've been watching Brookfield Place under construction simncer it started, but through this webcam http://brookfieldplacecalgary.com/webcam.html I had no idea there was another one. Thanks for passing this along.
The roof glass has a dot pattern which I'm assuming prevents/reduces glare
