newest office building to join Calgary's boom

[mark simpson]

aren't you jealous?

Ahhhhh, my eyes they burn!

Wow... a building in Calgary Flames team colours. I guess the developer must be a hockey fan.

... and no, I'm not jealous. The Toronto area is probably building a couple of buildings of this height and/or size at this moment.

what is it we are supposed to be jealous about? I have a feeling this will look even more ghastly in reality than on the rendering. The only thing good is the street related retail, but even that is kind of cheezy.

Looks like someone got inspired by their Lego set

 

[cassiusa]

LOL. I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic with the 'jealous' comment.

When I saw that, I thought it was an early 80s oil-boomtown banality brought "up to date" through snazzy colour overlays. (That curtain wall is just so 777 Bay.)

Wow that's terrible. Might look good in Vaughan's future city centre or something...

 

[Observer Walt]

The architect only had primary colors in his palette. Are there details of who is building this / who designed it? Maybe it will be hidden in the shadow of the new Encana building.

When I see stuff like this, I'm convinced once again that our country still only has 3 cities that really matter.

Ditto what Alchemist said... and Toronto will be the top of those three for a long time to come. I'm glad to see Calgary doing well but its boom will end long before it even comes close to the T-dot.

I would hope to see better for Calgary. Clearly the new office towers planned for there are as banal as those planned for here.

 

[TdotTrickyRicky]

I kind of like it, but as long as they keep those primary colours bright. They should change the windows to a lego blue for full effect!

 

[SD2]

That's absolutely disgusting.

The Bertie Bassett Building!
