Sorry maybe only 2 stories taller? Of they are taking some artistic liberty? But this is the video.

Thursday afternoon. I think these look pretty smart, particularly the tower portions.

One side effect of these towers being the only structures of height in this part of the downtown (as of yet) is that they're incredibly visible. As such, here's a whole slew of photos taken yesterday from various vantage points with these towers peaking into view:
They're especially prominent from James North, and will become even more so when the closer third tower is built:

Love the last two pics, in some aspects don't even look real. Would it really have been that bad to make these another 10. Looking at TEK Tower in Kitchener, great height!

Yep. Apparently.
But I think there will be much more to come when the local market improves. These are doing a wonderful job "extending" the downtown skyline northward.

It might take a very long time for the local market to improve to that point

Agreed for the Siberian Winter of the current condo market , don't think we will see much in new tower development in downtown (beyond the few stragglers we have going up now). But when it does turn, what is there maybe a count of six towers that will have all planning permissions in place all clustered around the Design District. Plus whatever IN8 gets going for the former Eaton Centre.(Wouldn't that be better if Lamb just bought them out).

Imagine how many more towers there would be downtown if city hall was not an impediment to development during the condo rush.

Yeah. They did not make hay while the sun was shining.

How about the waterfront Pier 8, what a waste! Fantastic that we have some lovely poetry on signs though. Your tax dollars hard at work.

I cant really put my finger on why but I agree these are turning out really great. Just something about them when you see them in person. Arguably one of the best of all new tower builds.
