When I have time this weekend, I'll go through my photo files and see what I have looking south. But I would like to get back up once more.

I'm still annoyed the one time I got to go up to the top of JW, it was light blizzard conditions (IN MID SEPTEMBER, BECAUSE OF COURSE) so couldn't see more than a few KM in any direction.
Or if you're from Saskatchewan, where the old timers love to tell you about the time they watched their dog run away for two straight weeks.Not much farther than Millet due to the Earth's curvature (unless you are a flat-earther then, on a clear day, you should be able to see all the way to Buenos Aires)

seeing reports that at least one pane of glass has fallen from about the 30th floor of stantec...
one york street in toronto had a similar issue with a couple of panes falling from the 16th floor in february 2019. it was reportedly due to weather/wind starting the day before.
it makes you wonder whether there were full-size mock-up panels built and tested prior to fabricating and installing the curtainwall...
it doesn't take much wind at those heights - and higher in the case of stantec - to create some pretty substantial negative pressures that need be dealt with.

No one injured after glass pane falls from Stantec Tower's 30th floor
First responders briefly closed 102 Street between 103 Avenue and 104 Avenue during the cleanup and investigation.

Stantec food hall. Just needs tenants and customers.

And an observation deck. An observation deck would be nice. For food hall purposes of course.

I didn't capture this in my pics but there is a patio door.

Sorry, I meant on the top floor. My comment was a cruddy joke because I'm salty that neither Stantec nor JW Marriot have a publically accessible observation deck near their top floors.

An observation deck at the top of Canada's tallest building (outside of Toronto) should've been a no brainer. AND, it would have generated steady income for KGRE while they tried to sell condos / rent apartments.

well no... as far as i know, there are no observation decks in canada that come close to paying their way when you look at the dedicated space required for elevator access and exiting etc.
cn tower comes close and possibly husky tower but that's only because they're purpose built.
others - like the empire state building - that are successful on office buildings are in the heart of world renowned tourist centres. they're successful there and wouldn't be in smaller centres elsewhere (like edmonton - already proven with the closing of the telus' 33rd floor observation floor).
an observation deck on a residential building not only compounds the problems in general, it would considerably devalue all of the high end penthouse condos at the top whose patios etc. are now visible from a publicly accessible observation deck.
