Interesting.. I think I even remember this thing being a stump for several years.



That far building almost looks art-deco inspired.

I vaguely remember Trump when it was still Woolworths and BA North when it was still the 1920s "Central Building" highrise. I haven't the foggiest idea what stood on the main BA site.

will then go back down to the south/east and south/west and fill in from L3 to L10. This is scheduled to start around July 20th.

Second to last floor from the top may be the sky lobby. And take note of the protruding angled bits.

If you look closely on this diagram, the protruding parts are only for the SPA floor. So my guess is a balcony feature of some sort. Judging by the photos above, they could have a glass floor section on that balcony (just for fun) but they won't. That is too cool an idea for this building.

Great pics and vid. Funny how huge this building is up close yet still so puny from a distance on the skyline.

Yeah, well unfortunately the impact it has on the skyline won't be all that dramatic. However, when visiting the city it will be a nice addition to a very compact core.

5th Avenue in Calgary has shorter buildings, but I'd give that distinction to them. This section has better buildings though.
