It's funny how many times I've walked down 104st and wished to see a tower in that location and about that height.

Well, you will soon see another one too, but at a taller height!

Are you talking the second Falcon Tower?

Are you talking the second Falcon Tower?

Yup

 

[EdmTrekker]

Is that wishful thinking or do you know for a fact that it will be built and taller?

 

[IanO]

It will go forward and has always been intended to be taller... but scaled back.

First bet of 2024 - I expect shovels in April.

Wishful thinking and nothing wrong with that - unless you have inside information it will be built with the original planned height- as tower 1 was scaled back.

No new permits revising the Tower 2 height down from 44 storeys so if they want to get in the ground this spring they either will need to submit a revised Development Permit very soon or they will submit Building Permits for the original 44 storey height. We will see...

In post #194, on the 'Abbey Lane Residence' thread, I stated the Falcons mistake so far is the white trim against the white wall is quite full because of the monolithic structure. My opinion was that, had they used color trims instead of he white it would have come out much more pleasantly like using red or green trims to contrast the white walls.
Surprisingly, Ian just upload a perfect example of what I was referring. That red accent wall to the mostly white just really works well. Now, looking at that tower, can you see red or green ( or other vibrant colors) working well with that tower?

Sorry for the minor typos as my hands are having nerve issues and I having some spasm issues. Is there an edit option as I'm not seeing it?

"...quite full..." was to be "quite dull".

Judging from this angle, I suspect the second tower will be equivalent to the CWB office tower's height which is not too bad. It won't be that intrusive to the south elevation view.
It would have nice had they applied color trims and tint the balconies in the same (closes) color scheme. It would have truly popped out for the balconies are wrap around.

Falcon Towers -- minus the detractors -- is turning out just fine!
