Best New Office Tower
- Thread starter Edward Skira
- Start date
I was torn between B/A and RBC until I saw the pics of RBC lit up. RBC hands down now unless B/A does something with the top.

all 3 towers are really nice, but i'd have to agree with Ed007 that the new lighting feature of RBC pushes it into the #1 position.

I favour Telus but the other two are pretty close.
I think it's still a bit early to say what the skyline presence of both Telus and RBC will finally be, but the renderings for Telus have been pretty good...
Still, hints are that RBC will edge it out.

I like the glass on BA more, but the structure of RBC is generally more interesting.

I'm more drawn to Telus, it's the glass that gives it the edge. This building would have really shone with another 15 levels to give it more prominence. I think it's going to get lost in there among acres of green mediocrity.
I'd like to see this question re-polled next spring once all three are complete.

Since all three are practically the same, my vote will go to whichever one ends up looking the most imposing and corporate.

I think it's too early to vote in this poll. I'll vote when they're all completed and filled with people.

Telus, with RBC a close second. I like the glass and I think it will be a lot more engaging at the street level. The glass "fins" going up the at the corners are a nice little feature, and will be nicer along the roof than B/A. The lantern element on RBC makes it a difficult choice between the two. If the top of RBC stepped up to the lantern like in 3D's suggestion, or even with an sloped roof at that same angle then it would take the cake. But still, I think the Telus glass steals the show imo.

close call~
both telus and rbc are perhaps architecturally (more?) interesting (ext.&int. i would think) but B/A's height trumps their meagre sophistication.
size matters-always has ,always will.
telus & rbc are merely big office buildings. and bay/adelaide just passes as a li'l 'tower'.
