16 September 2008 photo update

Taken 20 minutes ago from the west end. Looks like soon I'll have to enter the BA core via an elevator to catch a glimpse of it!

5 more floors. Seriously, all it needed is 5 more.

^actually 10. 10 more and the proportions would be perfect.

 

[Hydrogen]

Do I hear 20?

Twenty more floors.

Anyone...?

 

[Ziggy]

It needs at least 50 more floors. Then it would be perfect.

Every time I look at the building, I only wonder what could have been. Though that last photo clearly illustrates my point, that at some points during the day, BA fades into the sky and is barely visible from some distances.

The height is ok for the location. It gives a nice balance to the north-south skyline when viewed from east or west.

Here we go. Perfect.

And for reference, reality:

 

[vegeta_skyline]

I'd say 8 more for 800 (feet)

Not really looking forward to BA2, since its going to be shorter and even less visible.
Should at least be as tall.

Here we go.

Perfect.

Lol. That would be pretty awesome though.

 

[Ramako]

Yes, I don't want to do my readings.

After the TD Tower, Commerce Court West and FCP, maybe it's time for something other than a box to become Toronto's next tallest skyscraper.

 

[adma]

Two boxes?

Taken today at Queen & Bay:

nice glass but will be boxy banal in the end. A missed opportunity to build a really tall tower (since there are three towers to be built the demand must have been enough to build one taller than this one). If not a super tall on this spot then where?
