Skyline & Aerial photos | Portland

[#bancars]

P.S. - A couple of sleek 30 story buildings would do wonders for that skyline.

That's basically Halifax, NS. Similar-sized metro area and urban form / peninsula-shape but seems to be in a building boom and isn't afraid to go tall.

You are kidding? Right

I think it's funny or ironic here that the building that appears to stand out the most is the Holiday Inn. Maybe it's pulling from some of that scenic whitecap vibe?

Honestly, I never had an issue with the white Holiday Inn. It broke up the depressing earth tones.

Great pic, TC_Zoid!

What a beautiful skyline with a lot of room to grow despite what the NIMBYs may be scared of! (30 story buildings)

Look....if Oklahoma City can have the tallest building in the country ( https://www.npr.org/2024/06/08/nx-s...#:~:text=Plans are moving forward in Oklahoma ) Then Portland can have the tallest building in New England... Sorry Boston

Stunning views from their primary floor; the city, the harbor, the islands, the boats... The best in the entire city, I'm guessing (360 degrees).

Agree and One City Center should have been at least 3 floors taller in my opinion!

 

[Portlander]

We may have a winner!

Two recent photos (Google Earth) of Manchester and Portland from 1500 ft showing the downtown cores from similar angles. Manchester does have a couple of taller buildings but Portland has many more and appears to be at a higher level of density even after trimming out a large portion of the Old Port for fairness.
