Does ground-breaking count on our list for "under construction"?

Cause if MLS is off the list in the summer then if Aura, Ice, or U condos break ground they might be considered under construction...

Can someone clear this up for me :D ?... If a project breaks ground do we consider it on our list?

Peace :D

It's Caltrane's list so I won't comment on that.

I believe groundbreaking (the actual groundbreaking not ceremonial) does indeed constitute the start of construction. However, the database's opinion tends to exclude excavation from construction which is loosely based on the industry's position. I've tended to ignore this until I came across a recent edit which all but confirmed the database's opinion. I won't be changing the status until I see a foundation which for Aura could be six months after groundbreaking. Of course, some other editor may not wait as long.

no there is no consensus here, to the average joe on the street, when a project breaks ground it is under construction, however for the skyscraper ethusasist such as ourselves, a building is only under construction when the concrete foundation is laid....... obviously i dont make the rules here

It's more complicated than that as there doesn't appear to be a consensus among us skyscraper enthusiast or the industry. I don't see a big deal either if this list doesn't match that list.

Nice to see X's mechanical box all clad up in black!... Just very few months before exterior work is done!

X is one of the most simple and boring projects right now... I really like it's height but it's design was cave man simple... The glass never really appealed to me either, it looks old already, and pale... It went up so fast too!

BUT, it's an AWESOME skyline filler :tup: ! :cheers:

WhipperSnapper

Dec 22, 2009, 4:13 PM

The whole point of X is to be simple. I like X. It's inspired but still of decent quality and I think the whimsical dashes of colour add to the design . I'm not a huge fan that X2 has been redesigned as a clone though. I also like the clear glazing. It's something both old and entirely new in this era of tinted glass.

We do need some more atypical designs. L Tower and some others are a start but I'd like to see it continued especially on the corner of Yonge/Bloor. I'll gladly trade 900 feet for 600 feet for it. We also have a ballooning price per square foot at a time when construction costs are dropping for developers to justify it.

i hope the pure rectangular/monlithic shape of X will prevail. is it gonna have that mech. room 'shouldered'? hope not. that would be terrible imo.

and being a stealthy flat, 'simple' black slab of a tower, i would say X is atypical. not at all boring to me. a little taller would have been sweeter.

true...

X is the average joe building!... it's got some nice height but nothing to fancy...

And yes... extra height is ALWAYS welcome :D

I said a similar thing on UT and got yelled at for 3 pages of X lovers! LOL

I don't dislike bright colours, I just commented that visually the only colour that 'reads' from a few blocks away is the yellow and then it just looks like some panels are missing. Oh and I said something like:

"If Ludwig Mies van der Rohe was the inspiration then why add IKEA colours to it? He never used colour in that way."

It's an inspired black box design. It's not ment as an exact replica. That holds true for most "inspired" designs in the GTA which is why most belong in the crapper.

I also think taller is better in yorkville, as its skyline is sledom photo'd for the postcard set, and their impact at street level would make for a more vibrant streetscape.

WhipperSnapper

Dec 27, 2009, 6:23 PM

I couldn't care less about skyline postcard images and skyscrapers rarely make vibrant streetscapes. Something about human scale.

Yorkville is already heavily urbanized. I don't see many opportunites beyond the proposals already made known. I don't see any of the midrise office blocks being replaced with skyscrapers anytime soon or anything skyline altering built west of Bay.

The 600/500 foot twin tower redevelopment of the Four Season Hotel should be trashed.

WhipperSnapper

Ice is the hottest selling condo development out there. U is in the middle of the pack. What could be holding U back is that it is pretty pricey even compared to Ice.

Both are gearing up for a spring start but it will take some doing between now and then for both U towers to go up.

Dec 30, 2009, 6:30 PM

The only building coming off the top 10 list in 2010 will be Ritz, other than that all the other projects will be going into 2011. Absolute World Mississauga is gonna be close as to if it finishes up before the end of next year. So my point would be that with Aura, L Tower, Ice condos, U Condos, the Top 10 list will have some serious bulk and height added in the very near future...
Alot of the projects in their now will then move into this list as 180 meters will not be tall enough to make that list any longer..

The U towers be situated in front of and just to the right of 1 St. Thomas (white building) in this pic, correct? Should be very impressive at 604 ft and 505 ft. And with the 650 ft Four Seasons, whatever's going on at 1 Bloor (at least 700-800 ft.), and the possible but unlikely duo at 21 Avenue (500-600 ft.), in a few years' time this will be a commanding second downtown cluster.

steveve

Dec 31, 2009, 7:31 PM

That area is gonna be sweet!

U condos will be going up in that empty lot in front of those 2 brown condos (beside One St. Thomas)... They will be beasts!

FS won't be that visible from that shot but from different angles it will!

Uptown will balance things out just right!

Whatever's going in the 1BE lot is sure to make a mark on the skyline! (that is unless they build a 100 footer :haha: )

The glass towers, Casa, X, Crystal Blu add some texture to the concrete look of uptown/upscale yorkville skyline. All o the development is building strong visual cohesion, and then the infill work like Lumarire are defining the unified "Toronto Look", each project is re-enforcing, this is how you build a city!

steveve

Jan 1, 2010, 5:31 PM

I agree ^^^

Yorkville skyline always reminded me of the older Manhattan-like-buildings... Old, grey, classic kinda stuff...

Even some newly built ones (like BSN and Uptown) adapted that kind of architecture to fit it...

Casa i believe, was one of (if not) the first all-glass blue skyscraper in Yorkville... It's the new kid on the block..

Now we have so many new ones like Crystal, X's, One Bedford, Museum House, etc....

Bring it!

List 11-30

11 Absolute World - 160
12 Uptown 160
13 Hotel Georgia - 158
14 Burano - 157
15 TIFF - 157
16 Epcor - 150
17 Fairmont - 140
18 Casa 138
19 X Condo -138
20 Natulis - 130
21 Crystal Blu - 130
22 Solaris - 127
23 Solaris - 127
24 Patina - 126
25 - 18 York
26 -Park Nuvo - 122
27 M5V - 120
28 Jameson 119
29 Parade 117
30 Harbour Green 115

Obviously getting on this list isn't that hard.

115 Meters is pretty low....

Amazing, tho not surprising, that all but 6 towers are from Toronto.

Interesting to note the difference in scale between the cities. Since Toronto's best projects are massive and in the #1-10 list, the #11-30 list consists of pretty average quality condos for Toronto (ie mass housing style twin tower projects like solaris)... but the same height range consist of Vancouver's tallest and most high-end projects u/c, since the regular condos are even shorter. 4 out of the 5 vancouver projects here are curtain-wall ultra-luxury towers with ridiculous prices from $2000-$3000 a square foot. I'd imagine it would look really awkward if the towers on this list are physically located next to each other.

I never really liked X's design and shape but now that most of it is clad in black, it looks pretty good now!.. nice and sleek!... back in black! :banana:

I never really like how Murano looks from the North/South.. It seems to basic and a little chunky... But it is an awesome addition to the skyline! (not to mention it DOMINATES in that shot!)

I think Hullmark Centre will be #1 on our list (if not in the ten tallest list) when it starts... It says 168m on the database...

I also noticed that Montreal and Calgary are not represented on the list eleven/thirty. Am I missing something here, does Montreal have anything on the go not listed in the Database? Calgary saves all its construction for the top ten list...

I noticed that too!.. Montreal isn't really active in skyscraper construction at all!... it's bizarre!

Toronto pretty much dominate's these lists.. we don't get too much variety :(

US construction has ALOT more traffic... they look at our threads and laugh :haha:

Here is the 11-30 list on the diagram page:

http://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?searchID=45333813

Capitol Residences isn't on Cal's list...

Regarding the US U/C list (compared to our own) the shortest tower on their 11-30 list would be 178M, however, there appear to be 8 - 10 towers (in the top 30) almost completed and about to be off the list, so very soon their tallest U/C will be 149M. Taller than ours of course, but considering the population difference and amount of large cities, I believe that, PER CAPITA, we are clearly ahead of the US in skyscraper constuction at this time.
