Awesome photo! Thanks for sharing.
The latest thread derail is 52 posts long. I will repost these in a different forum, but only after some commentary. Please return to talking about the Stantec tower.

^wonder if those operable windows are going to be casement or sliders? Hopefully we won’t see a smattering of open/half open window awnings on any given day.

Anyone else notice the very slight difference in the shade tone of glazing on the upper 2/3 rds? ... I guess, this could be attributed to the glass being from a different lot? Not saying it looks unattractive.
Could be the angle?
Interesting perspective and so right, so should they go to Stantec to look at JWL complainers? I think Pontos photos should be reinstated and an apology to him. I know i dont have time for such effort- only to have disrespect offered back.

Could be that the lower 1/3 of the building's floors are completed on the inside (white walls) giving a lighter appearance.

I do notice it in almost every shot and angle, though hardly so (if at all) from the west front face. The interior being painted white might be what is making the difference, I guess time will soon tell.
I dont think so imo; i would wager on other towers surrounding it creating a shadow to those portion hence darker tones. Just review all other photos, and one can clearly see variance in color tones do to the affect of shadows.

Here's a comparison of Orlando with a metro pop. of 2.4 mil vs 1.4 for Edmonton. I picked the best angles I feel for both. There's no comparison to YEG. I will say though that Orlando's downtown is very nice within and quite clean. These are two cities I know the most about and am making the comparison for that reason.

I believe you're misinterpreting that rule (perhaps intentionally). The part that you didn't bold is pretty important. "Descriptive subject lines" helps the reader easily understand that a post is about Stantec, for example. In that thread, the reader can find photos of Stantec. The thread with JW Marriott in its title is where one would find pictures of said hotel. No if a picture has both towers, it would be foolish to randomly choose which thread to post it in, as each provide context for the other, and help create a more complete record.
Also, where it talks about duplicate posts, that plays into the previous statement about researching your posts. The intention is to ensure that people are not asking questions that have already been answered in the thread. That is what this means by "duplicate posts."
So, I think we can safely say that no rule has been violated, and once again we are stuck with you holding the forum hostage until everyone bends to your will because you are too stubborn to hit the ignore button.
It's almost as if there's something to attract people to Orlando besides a downtown. Whatever could it be?Was in Orlando's downtown last year.

Interesting...as we continue to discuss the issue of rule or no rule on posting of duplicate pictures in different threads, there is one rule that does exist. The rule about citing origin/ownership/credit for pictures posted on the forum. That rule has been violated by you in post 4125.

Does anybody know if Stantec is still going to have balconies? They've almost covered the west face with glass on the first residential floor, but in the render it shows small inset balconies.

It looks like the tower hasn’t reached the balcony level yet.
Also, a heck of a great view from the construction.

Accepting critique on my photos as I’m learning how to edit them without access to a laptop or Lightroom. Roast away my friends! :P
The balconies on the SW and NW corners are there. The inset balcony levels have not been reached yet.
As you understand basic things like composition & technical things like white balance you're already ahead of the curve. Getting it as right as possible in-camera precludes needing to process photos.
Giving less of a damn than ever… Can't laugh at the ignorant if you ignore them!
Yeah I like to process my photos though because of things like haze and harshness of light. I like my photos being a bit softer, but I can’t really tell on a tiny retina screen if they are coming out over saturated or anything. I’m without a computer until summer so a harsh eye would be appreciated!
Looking at it on a pc screen i think the pic you took is just fine. When i used to post pics here i never once edited them as im not the biggest fan of over editing somthing i have taken a pic of the natural beauty of the pic comes out haze and all keep it up bud.
Good to know! I’ll have my laptop back in a few weeks but it’s still kind of fun learning how to work around mobile technology. I don’t like how retina displays tend to harshen the constrast and saturation of tones so here I am over here squinting really hard making sure they’re photo realistic LOL.
There are dust spots on your sensor at full size. Check out the spot just above the front edge of the crane, or around midway between the tip of the crane and the point where the crane rises above the building. Lightroom can take those out pretty easily, and/or clean your sensor.
This photo in particular make the building crooked, although I see that the right edge of the photo and right edge of the building line up. However that makes the left edge of the building lean in pretty hard, due to perspective. I would usually set the middle of the building/photo as straight instead.
Yeah that damn sensor. My camera has been through some pretty harsh climates from the arctic to the Middle East. Maybe I should spend a weeks worth of groceries and just go get it fixed. Thanks!
The highlights are pretty blown out & it looks over sharpened.
The retina displays on iPhones are actually very accurate and they’re not super saturated. Samsung phones are, though.
I clean my sensors myself & the appropriate equipment & consumables cost me maybe 1/2 a week's worth of groceries 10 years ago & I've got plenty to last me yet. I used to have to clean my sensor on a monthly basis back when I was shooting clubs/events/parties & swapping lenses in DJ booths.
That being said, it's a bit of a nerve-wracking process & I can certainly understand why you'd wanna pay someone else to do it, especially if that sort of fine motor control precision work isn't something you do on the regular.
Giving less of a damn than ever… Can't laugh at the ignorant if you ignore them!
Yeah Mcbain offers courses on how to do it but I’ve been deployed away from home for three years. I suppose it’s time I learn how lol.
View from the Sunlife building yesterday:
^ Wow, nice unique angle! That would be a cool location to watch Stantec rise on the daily.
They are working on the 43rd floor now.

I want a spire. Come on Stantec cheat a little bit!
In this case, I believe the positive for downtown as a whole outweighs the loss to Oliver. The loss for Oliver will hopefully only be temporary as the Stantec complex gets re-leased to other organizations who may want a nice near downtown presence without the added costs.Of course I am advocating for all of Edmonton. It's where I live and it's my role here. Unsure why this is hard to understand for you.
Stantec is an incredible loss for Oliver.

W/O taking sides, Stantec's current abode seems much like the sort of campus digital media firms might love. I know none by themselves are big enough - but it - orportions of it - could make a nice hub.
... gobsmacked
Stantec's space in Oliver will be backfilled or re-purposed and provide new opportunities there.
All,
I do not sit here waiting for the next pee pee contest to erupt, so spamming me with threats and ultimatums does not sit well with me.
Keep this topic to Stantec. If you want to debate DynaLife, do that in the blasted DynaLife thread.
Ow
Because downtown is the only place that office space should be, right?
Admin lmao. Oh how I wish I could see your private messages.
Will the public have access to Stantec’s rooftop patio?
Not at all, room and place for many locations, but our primary business district and that more should be Downtown is important to us all.Because downtown is the only place that office space should be, right?

Welcome to beautiful Edmonton, AB, CA. Home of the world’s most stunning (non-polluted) sunsets.
Nice shot. I wouldn't say non polluted as we have significantly less pollution than many areas, but we have some as the reds during sunrise/subset during an inversion are also quite stunning.
...and before this derails...again..nice shot of the thread appropriate construction downtown.
Tired of being taken advantage of .

I can see that they have started finishing the east side of the residential portion of the tower and it looks like the same glazing is being used to cover the elevator shaft.
I can only see a couple of panels but it looks the same.
Edmonton-henge shot Stevey? Even if not - great pic, thanks!

Well it IS surrounded by prehistoric buildings 😂 Thanks all!

Edmonton first, everything else second.
great shot. appears to be taken from Yellowhead and 170st.
Different angle and wicket zoom in.
" The strength of a man is in the stride he walks."
^^Or Yellowhead and 156 St? I've always thought that was one of the best angles to view the skyline
^ Graniteworx is out on 168St
I thought it was closer at first as well. But then looking at TWOS I had to recalculate my bearings a bit.

Looks about right not roughly imo. I'm really hoping BMO will be similiar height as JWM now. With Aldritt and the Procura tower, we might make our southern brother slightly nervous now lol.
" The strength of a man is in the stride he walks."
My guess is about 170-175m for BMO.
My true expectation is 180m. But I would like 190-200 only for the balance skyline and not so much the size queen angle.
" The strength of a man is in the stride he walks."

Well, when you fellows get the project height figured out, be sure to let the developer and architect know !
Talk about jousting at (tall) windmills...
Grab a coffee and wake up. In the meantime, let people have some fun. Set up your online forum then it is your playground and your rules. If im going contact the developer, i might as well design that tower too ; and I can guaranty a world class trophy tower.

Doesn't It? Imagine Aldritt, Procura tower, and hopefully taller than Manulife BMO, she us a different city overnight. I no longer have to stare at the old stagnant skyline of 3 decades.
" The strength of a man is in the stride he walks."
^and don’t forget Katz’s plan for the rest of the Ice District as well.
It’s a little sad that ICE 2.0 Will inevitably block the arena from our skyline.
If you ask me, as it is now, the pictures really identify Edmonton as a “prairie town” with it’s barn on the north side of downtown, and where the community goes to play shinny/watch the local boys play.
I dont see that at all. If anything ICE 2.0 with just add to the newly cosmopolitan look. It will go from 1.0 to 2.0...
" The strength of a man is in the stride he walks."
Good guess.
What do you know? Don't leave us dry and hanging.
" The strength of a man is in the stride he walks."
That would make it 3rd - in between Tower B and the JW.Good guess.
5th if Aldritt and Procura's tower goes ahead. If it is constructed before tbe other two then yes.
" The strength of a man is in the stride he walks."
They are working on the 45th floor now. 21 floors left of residential, plus 3 mechanical.
I drove down 99st to downtown last night which i have not done in a long time, and these two towers make that drive look so different. The new cladding of Scotia place with its lighting peeping through just made the view so dense. Wow for my home root!
" The strength of a man is in the stride he walks."
A rather remarkable statement, that there's another 50% to be added to the height as the tower already looms so much over the rest of the downtown core. I am enjoying the perspective from different vantage points around the city; the scale is something that takes getting used to.
I reminded of once reading how Manhattan's twin towers were not particularly well regarded by many New Yorkers when first constructed but as time went on it became a part of the collective consciousness because it could be seen from so many points in the city. It became a reassuring presence and one could always orient themselves in the city simply by noting where they were on the horizon.

I thought Stantec residence was originally going to have balconies?
It does, just not every unit has a balcony this was changed early in construction IIRC. The lower Sky Residences west side floors only have balconies on the corner units till the 43rd floor, and the east side units only the corner units have balconies all the way up.
Stantec is catching up...
