I kind of like the Front St RBC building from an aesthetic standpoint, but it sure does deaden the street.

I'm sorry, I can't picture this Front St. RBC building at all, and Google image search isn't yielding anything useful. Does anyone have a picture?

used to work in there...

Unfortunately, this being Emporis, it's only the tower. The sloped-front "dead" part that everyone hates is to the west (right) of that, with only an unrepresentative margin in the photo...

you can see the sloped portion a bit better in this image:

it worked when I first posted it... same thing happened with the one a couple posts above... at first it was missing, then it was there, now gone again. Wonder if it has to do with the fact that its from Emporis? Maybe they shut off the power after 10 pm? Heres the raw link: heres the raw link: http://www.emporis.com/images/6/2003/07/201562.jpg

As far as I know, Emporis doesn't allow hotlinking.

These images should really be saved and uploaded to your own webspace or an image server, like photobucket, or imageshack.

Linking directly to the source image is (please forgive me) bad nettiquete. It is essentially bandwidth leeching, which forces other people to pay for your images, and this forum is rife with it.

well, just being lazy.... its the Canadian way really. I will take this into consideration next time I post an image...

There are lots of pdf floor plans, a site plan, and a building stacking plan to be found at http://www.rbccentre.ca for those who are interested.

Nice panoramic view application.

Very few renderings still.

This one is going up fast. I assume it's taller than Simcoe Place (600 vs 482 ft) ?

 

[caltrane74]

That would be a good assumption.

Don't be flip, Caltrane. Solid bigger than / smaller than skills are in a lot of demand these days.
