And here are those two towers approved atop Bear Mountain. So long as downtown doesn't stoop this low it's all good :tup:
Soaring Peaks - 20-storeys
The Highlander - 14-storeys

And sad thing is, much of what's about to happen atop Bear Mountain might be in the hands of Edmonton developers :shock:
Development in Edmonton isn't so hot (it's like they're stuck in the 80s) and now a wave of such proposals might be heading out here. The community at-large, of course, has the ability to encourage Langford's council to demand more architectural significance from high-profile developments.

This project will go on for another ten years, it will be over four times the size of broadmead, and will have 14 - 35 story towers in it. When this subdivision is complete the population of it will excede the population of current Esquimalt or OakBay.
This project and Langford's WestHills project will end up being roughly the same size.

I dunno, I really like the style that they're going for in Bear Mountain. I know it's very stereotypical, but I like it.

What about the 29 and 41 storey proposals? Is Bear Mountian "official" because they have actually started digging?!

I hope the colwood towers will start a sales campain soon.

As for the Colwood towers, I'll believe them when I see marketing materials. As per the first tower, the sites are most likely lined up for some hefty flips to Albertan developers. These developers want to come here and build, not rezone a property which takes several months from start to end.

If they were hesitant to go after that before the 30 tower aproval, I don't think they will be hesitant now. I wouldn't be surprised to see West Bank building in Colwood in the next two years! <--- and who better else to build something really cool.
