Hell of a tour. Nice pics.!

Sept. 18 - more of the podium glazing

 

[Daveography]

More glass going up, on the podium including over the ballroom facing the plaza, and on the amenity portion of the residential tower (which is more transparent)

I think it is officially the 3rd tallest building in Edmonton!

Now forming the 40th floor.

Gonna have to get a shot from McNally, it's a good vantage for getting a fairly level view of the skyline.

Looks like it's taller than Edmonton Tower, but still just a bit shy of Bell, which puts it in 5th place for now.

Perspective views and their attendant vanishing points can be very deceptive from a height perspective. Actually, however, the Marriott tower is now in 3rd place by quite a margin and after floor 41 is poured and the columns are up it will be in first place (it is now on floor 40).

 

[Daveography]

@archited You're including Telus House in your ratings? It's our third tallest, Bell is fourth.

 

[Das Ponto]

That last shot is fantastic Dave!

Someone just needs to go to the top of each building with long measuring tape to ensure all these old drawings are accurate.

Also, I vote not me.

Yes @Daveography, by my ever-so-rough calculations Marriott is at 140.7 and Telus House is listed as 134.4m, so a little over 6 metres difference (2 1/2 floors) -- two more floors on Marriott and we have a new winner! And then we have 12 more floors and a penthouse on top of that for a very dramatic height differential to the next tallest building.
