    Niagara Falls Hilton Phase II (53s, 172m, Stanford Downey Architects)

    holy poop! Niagara has quite the skyline going on, quite the improvement since the last time I was there. I reminds me of Calgary, the buildings are taller than the observation tower! is that 700 footer still a go? I think it was called "Rainbow Tower" to something to that effect?

    Projects cancelled or on hold due to the Credit Crunch

    Rumors of the Bow's demise are greatly exaggerated. I can tell you the Bow WILL be finished on time, there are some funding questions, but the project is chugging along. in fact, today the were assembling one of the giant Favco cranes.

    Arch Record: First Skyscraper by Herzog & de Meuron Rising in NYC
