Thanks! I hope it will be a great thread. I have so many videos in my mind that I've seen over the years that I'll have to look for again to share. And I hope everybody else will share any videos they want as well. I have a lot of these kinds of skyline and aerial vids, but I have different kinds that I'd like to share as well. But skyline eye candy is what I think would interest most on a board about skyscrapers, so those will be the majority from me. It should be fun!

Here are a few videos of Uptown Albuquerque. The last video is mainly about the Las Estancias development, but it shows neat Uptown views from about :46-:54 in the video:

A short video on Instagram showing the view of the downtown skyline while driving west on Lomas near I-25:

I've always loved this view of the skyline when driving down Lomas. I hope that in three years we will be able to see Symphony Tower in this view as well!


Here also are two vids that I shared before on the Development News thread which I thought I'd post here as well:

I thought I'd honor the Balloon Fiesta's opening weekend with a few awesome videos of previous year's events:

A couple of great drone videos from the same uploader on YouTube:

Various videos of city lights, the Cottonwood Mall area, Winrock, Uptown, Downtown and the Big I. The last few are especially awesome:

SMPC architects posted this cool timelapse video to Facebook of the view overlooking Central Avenue from their future offices on the top floor of the Banque Lofts building:

Here's a similar view from the rooftop of the building on YouTube:


And here are two videos on YouTube of the first night of the LED lights on the light posts along Central from a couple of years ago:



And a bonus short drone clip:

A few great drone videos from two uploaders on Instagram. The first two are of the entire downtown and show views of One Central's construction. The last one is of the Christmas tree on Civic Plaza and shows views of the new fountain:

I found two troves of vintage aerial video clips of Downtown Albuquerque and a few other areas of the city from 1971. They are watermarked, but I think they are great and I find them fascinating:

Also from 1971 is this clip showing the area north of the main police station that was finishing construction at the time:

Downtown Albuquerque was just beginning its push to the north towards Lomas in these clips. The Convention Center was beginning construction and you see the old houses and small commercial buildings that previously occupied the area.

A video on YouTube from a week ago showing an aerial and ground tour of Downtown Albuquerque, with views of the new Civic Plaza fountain and One Central construction:

I did this little diddy this last fall!
