An evening with a lot of mist in the air gave me a chance to see that nice reflection from the spots atop the Place Ville-Marie (to the right), we don't see this too often so i had to park and record it. The larger skyscraper is the 1000 La Gauchetiere W.

The largest city in Oregon, the Portland metro area is home to over 2 million people. Despite being ranked just 28th in the US by population, Portland has more total breweries and microbreweries of any city in the world. It probably has more people sporting beards as well but that isn't backed up by any kind of actual statistics... though the city proudly boasts as its unofficial slogan, "Keep Portland Weird".

The Édifice Aldred (Aldred Building), also known as Édifice La Prévoyance, at 501-507 Place D'Armes, was built from 1929-1931 by Ernest Isbell Barott of Barott and Blackade for Aldred and Company Limited, a multinational finance company. The 23-floor, 97-meter tower is Montréal's first art deco skyscraper, resembling a small-scale Empire State Building, which was built the same year. The building's setbacks at the 8th, 13th, and 16th floors allow more light on the square and create a cathedral-like massing, reflecting the adjacent Notre-Dame Basilica.

I like this one, the buildings in the back look fake, like the Emerald City from the Wizard of Oz. Come to think of it, Puerto Madero is a little like the Emerald City.
Torre Espacio
Arquitecto Henry N. Cobb de la firma Pei Cobb Freed & Partners, fundada por Ieoh Ming Pei. Colaborador: José Bruguera.
Colaborador en la dirección de las obras: Reid Fenwick Asociados, de Madrid. Estructura: MC2. Instalaciones: R. Úrculo Ingenieros Consultores.
Proyectada en 2003, promovida por la Inmobiliaria Espacio S.L, se construye entre 2004 y 2008, con una altura de 236 metros y 57 plantas sobre el nivel del suelo. La fachada está formada por un muro cortina de vidrio. Las plantas, varían de forma y dimensiones a lo largo de su altura, pasando del cuadrado en la base, hasta alcanzar la forma de un ojo abierto, es decir dos arcos de circunferencia secantes, en su culminación; dando al edificio una fisonomía exterior muy variable, desde un prisma a una botella, dependiendo del punto de vista. Las aristas son curvas y las fachadas no son planas, por lo que hubo que dotar de un especial diseño a los soportes de hormigón. Alberga, entre otras, oficinas de empresas pertenecientes al grupo promotor como la Inmobiliaria Espacio o la constructora OHL, y algunas embajadas. Cuenta con dos áreas de descanso de ocho metros de altura situadas en las plantas 18 y 33. Su sistema de climatización está compuesto por el "Techo Frío" emisor y la “fachada activa” de doble capa con movimiento de aire interior.
Durante su construcción, en septiembre de 2006 se declaró un incendio entre la planta 40 y 42, la última en construcción en ese momento, pero no afectó a su estructura.
Delante de la Torre Espacio se ha situado la escultura “Simeón sentado” abra de Francisco Leiro en 2007,

The Martinelli building includes a roof-top Italian style villa, called the Casa do Comendador, that was once used as residence of the building's owner. Being the first skyscraper in the city, the owner decided to live on its roof, so that he could prove that the building would not collapse, as most of the population believed at the time. The villa hosted the most opulent parties in the cities during the 1930s and 1940s.
