Somewhat dated. I guess I should go do an update.

[Boris2k7]

Uh oh, I suppose I am going to post my latest construction updates in here as well by the end of the day. And we have dozens of construction sites...

[feepa]

Well, this has promises of a huge image thread. slow internet connections beware!

[caltrane74]

This will be a nice thread to open. - Lots of construction shots. Which I love!!

I've never seen foam sprayed onto a retaining wall like that - is it because it leaked?

[WHISTLERINMUSKOKA]

I've seen it done on at a number of sites. Most likely it's to stop leaks

Josh, why are there no windows in the base of 5 West? Arriva's looking good and what is the Water Centre?

The first floor does. The second and third floors are parking. They couldn't do it all underground because the water table is high in this location (close to the river). It will have fake windows (Like in the first phase - you can see in the distance) to make it so you can't tell it actually a blank wall.

Water Centre is a municipal office for employees of City water works.

[WHISTLERINMUSKOKA]

Thanks Josh that's what I thought (about the base).

[Calgarian]

Cool thread, this one is going to be a long bastard.

Any Van. pics out there?

don't you mean flood control measures as high water tables are easily dealt with

Now for something from one of Canada's smaller cities - here are a few of the bigger projects on the go in North Bay. All of these pics were taken within the last few weeks.

Phase one of Marina Point - the adjacent 6 storey 2nd phase will be starting soon.
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y142/Softee2/January6th2007021resized.jpg

The new 100 room Holiday Inn Express is just getting started, and another 200 room hotel is slated to start construction right next door.

oy vei, 1AJS thats the best you can do?....you are embarassing us man....what about exelsior and strand on waterfront, place joseph royale on provencher, the manitoba hydro office tower, the pharmacy building, the seimens institute and canadinns tower, the humane society, the new airport for goodness sake.

you have pictures of most of those...i know you just took those pictures today, but the first one isnt even a construction site.

[trueviking]

calgarians....is Centrium as good in real life as the renderings made it look?

[Boris2k7]

calgarians....is Centrium as good in real life as the renderings made it look?

I think most of us are sitting on the fence right now. No doubt it is a great looking building. From some angles it looks really dark and in others it looks really light. The base is also only starting to form up. I think what will make this project is the (White?) LED strip on the corner of 3rd Street and 6th Avenue SW.

Uh, the LED strip has also changed since the night rendering was made. It now has this criss-crossing pattern instead of just being a pole.

Here's a look so far:

VANMAN, Shangri-La is going to be huge, not 100% sold on the glass but I'm sure it'll all come together in the end.

[caltrane74]

I'm lovin' Shanghri-La, and technically its the tallest building under construction in Canada until B-A has a foundation.

[raggedy13]

Here are some pics of the Shangri-La from a couple weeks ago. You can see a few of the solar charged light tiles installed that will run along the two street facing sides of the tower. In these pictures there are 2 installed but at the moment there are more like 15.

[WhipperSnapper]

can't believe Shangri-la will be 600 feet tall - talk about point tower

also can't believe how fast the pit is growing for Centennial - where does the fill go?

[vanman]

I'm lovin' Shanghri-La, and technically its the tallest building under construction in Canada until B-A has a foundation.

Wow, that's gotta be a first

Here's a picture Haliguy posted of a new crane put up across from the Commons yesterday, on the site of the "Armoury Square" condo building (10 stories). Behind it, in the background, you can see the new Gladstone Ridge tower (12 stories, under construction), which will soon get an identical twin.

Metropolis will be awesome when its done, very unique and imposing, the closest thing Canada will have to a times square

For sure - that area is really bright now and this will just about double the amount of crazy bright advertisements.

Although, is it me or is construction taking a long time? I feel like I've been walking through those blue walls for as long as I can remember - and I have a decent memory!

[caltrane74]

http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/5696/torontopano28zi.jpg


look how bright the lights are at Yonge and Dundas. Even from this distance you can see them - When Metropolis is complete this area will be crazy brite.

For sure - that area is really bright now and this will just about double the amount of crazy bright advertisements.

Although, is it me or is construction taking a long time? I feel like I've been walking through those blue walls for as long as I can remember - and I have a decent memory!

10 years- yeah, long time. I'll be in TO Feb 16-22 and am very much looking forward to the progress there!

After Shangri-la, RBC Centre is the second tallest building under construction in Canada with a concrete foundation. - Its total hieght will be 180 meters or some 620 ft I believe. (isn't this that so old school - 2002 SSP styles. - not under construction until the foundation is poured)

B-A is taller but it is still being excavated/site prepped.

"10 years"

yep - 1997

(I shed a tear when they cut the billboard off the hoarding along Yonge and almost wet myself when a gap appeared in the hoarding itself but unfortunately, it was only temporary )

The three cranes visible in this pic represent three different towers going up. From closest to furthest they are the Flatiron, the Ritz, and the Sapphire, with the Melville visible in the background. That's four towers U/C next to and across the street from one another ranging from 300ft to 464ft.

Vancouver is really rockin' with construction. And its flyin' below the radar so its a really nice surprise to see how much construction is going on there.

Mellville and Shaw are nice towers.

Some stuff being built in my town, Dundas (part of Hamilton)


Spencer Creek Village Condos

This is the third of four, here's roughly what it will look like, each building is a slightly different design

Amica at Dundas, retirement community

This looks really good, here's a rendering I got from their sales office:

The construction is moving quickly

Rents at Amica will range from $2700 to $4650 per month, not cheap!

Rise Shangri-la, Rise!!

I think most of us are sitting on the fence right now. No doubt it is a great looking building. From some angles it looks really dark and in others it looks really light. The base is also only starting to form up. I think what will make this project is the (White?) LED strip on the corner of 3rd Street and 6th Avenue SW.

Uh, the LED strip has also changed since the night rendering was made. It now has this criss-crossing pattern instead of just being a pole.

Here's a look so far:

I wish all the construction galleries were formatted like this, with small thumbnails, and we could choose which ones to display in full...

I have highspeed Internet, but it can still be slow going with huge digiphotos on the pages.

Heres a few from Cochrane, AB:

Shangri-La (Vancouver) is going to be one of Canada's best lit up buildings when complete. I hope the lights on the Bay and Adelaide Tower will be as good.

vancouver is so lucky........... I think Shangri-la Vancouver is the second best under construction in the country right now.

I wish Shangri-la vancouver was in Toronto

[vanman]

You have your own Shangri-la, and its taller

[caltrane74]

I'm a greedy guy.

[SteelTown]

This is a construction site I see everyday at work in Hamilton....

Building a new football stadium at McMaster University, includes underground parking

I did a hasty labelling job of the contruction sites in this recent photo of False Creek North/Yaletown that was posted in the Vancouver Construction thread.

A number of the projects involve multiple buildings, such as the Olympic Village that will have a dozen or so plus a private sector buildout of another couple dozen.

I also added a crude approximation of the Canada Line bored tunnel under False Creek and the one visible station.

There are two more photos that I'm going to label but I want to do that at home using photoshop and not paint, which is all I have available to me at work.

Trivia question: what city has 2 towers u/c as tall as Calgary's tallest?

[Gdoggy]

t.

[b13]

Toronto has b-a at 50 storeys and ritz at 54 also soon to be trump at 72. And what happened to the Melleville, that bronze thing on top ruins the look of it!

[vanman]

^ It's copper, and will oxidize to green over time. I think it looks friggin awesome , but to each his own

[trueviking]

is the erickson under construction?

[WhipperSnapper]

what city has 2 towers u/c as tall as Calgary's tallest?


can only think of one for Toronto (Bay Adelaide) and one for Calgary (Encana )

[WhipperSnapper]

I don't care for the copper roof on Melville but should look good when it oxidizes

Trivia question: what city has 2 towers u/c as tall as Calgary's tallest?

Ask this question in August.

[The Chemist]

Ask this question in August.

In August? Calgary will be the correct answer then. :)

Penny Lane East (210.5m) and The Bow (236m) are both as tall as, or taller than, Petro Canada West (215m).

[caltrane74]

By August, Toronto will have Ritz, B-A, and Trump (hopefully).

I thought The Bow was 250-260m??

[caltrane74]

RBC Centre 180meters is finally above ground...yippee!!!!!!!!!

Sir Novelty at Toronto urban Forum took these pictures..and a big thank you to him. He's a great construction enthusiast!!

awesome!!!!!!!

[WhipperSnapper]

the first floor over Simcoe's loading docks is almost done so they should be moving them back soon to dig out the rest of the site, and erect the final cranes. Toronto should have over 150 up by summer not including the dozens in the 905

[caltrane74]

A Four Crane Building! Amazing

I have never seen a four crane building under construction in Toronto. - Maybe for Scotia Plaza...but I watched that one go up from my bedroom window as a kid. And cant remember how many cranes there were cause of the distance from my home. And I was to young to go and check it out in person.

[caltrane74]

From this picture Scotia Plaza looks to have only 2 cranes (one on either side of the concrete elevator shaft)...hmm

[WhipperSnapper]

^6 if you include the Ritz

[habsfan]

And what happened to the Melleville, that bronze thing on top ruins the look of it!

It's copper, and will oxidize to green over time. I think it looks friggin awesome , but to each his own

I agree. Once it will oxidize it will look great!
