just because they had 160m of height doesn't mean they had the density to have that floorplate all the way up. they may have opted for a shorter tower with a larger floorplate just to save some money

that, and they were worried that at 160m it might look impressive - thank goodness they've saved us from that

Thanks for the pic DDA - it's unfortunate we won't be able to have a series from this excellent vantage point.

I'm sure going to miss the view - it's a great spot for seeing anything south of the railway tracks or east of Yonge. On a clear day you can see Hamilton fairly easily.... sigh.

Good picture, Darn Dirty. Hope your new location offers some opportunities for views of something or other!

Re: Telus Tower
DDA, I'm calling your bluff: we didn't exactly get a slew of shots of the Pinnacle Centre going up from you now did we?
I'm hoping your new office has a view of the backside of a Brad Lamb billboard.
So there!

Re: Telus Tower
Sorry interchange, but I haven't exactly been that diligent about my picture-taking or posting. I did take this one last April, though...
Unfortunately our new office is on the 19th floor of 145 King West, so the only view we get is of Metro Hall and Roy Thomson.

The building is BCE Place, Canada Trust Tower BTW. Our boardroom has a beautiful panoramic view of the waterfront...

Re: Telus Tower
That's a good point, although I don't know if I can see it from there. You need to be really high up to have an unobstructed view.
