Looking north. The pit is so deep that the crane operators cab is not very far above ground level.

Looking down at the Crystal Blu crane foundation prep work.

They are drying out the area by pumping out the water to make it more stable for construction to begin. They drilled down over 30 feet.

One contractor dug the pit, now two separate contractors will build the two towers. The blue portable washroom on the right is about where the dividing line between Uptown to the north/far side and Crystal Blu towards the south side/bottom of the picture.

From Charles St and Yonge the crane appears to be barely above ground level. Looking west towards the Manulife Centre.

not sure how a 400 foot highrise that dominates the landscape when viewed in all directions can be seen as infill

[caltrane74]

goodlookin', the building is in the middle of St.Jamestown.

It's infill. - new and modern, but still infill.

:previous:
Vancouver style towers in Toronto. Which makes sense as the CityPlace developers among others are from Vancity.

[caltrane74]

Yeah, true. They do look like the condos in Vancouver, except for the fact that they're freakin' huge compared to the pointy towers that go up there.

[Denscity]

Yeah they'd be protesting in the streets if anything blocked their views.

[Coldrsx]

it truly is funny...cityplace is basically a false creek on steroids.

[WhipperSnapper]

^unfortunately

well, I guess it ain't too bad however, I certainly choose Freedland over Cityplace if I was putting money down on a new apartment.

anyone else a little worried about the condo market in downtown toronto?

[WhipperSnapper]

^as long as the economy holds should pass through this phase of increased unsold inventory with similar ease to 2003. Developers are cutting back on new releases.



Woodsworth is frackin' sweet!

[AndrewJ3D]

Only if immigration slows down in this city, which it shows no sign of doing.

[caltrane74]

I don't think immigration is directly correlated to condo construction. I think it's an indirect cause.

Toronto is becoming an international city, so....

International investors park their cash here in the form of high rise real estate. Toronto is a safe, wealthy and very exciting city. Lots of things are going for us...that just "aren't" in other parts of the world.

anyone else a little worried about the condo market in downtown toronto?

nope.

[WhipperSnapper]

I don't understand how anyone can admit the number of investors and not be concerned. They inflate demand leading to overbuilding which doesn't register until they pull out. The slightest moment of weakness in the market could create a correctional tailspin that could last a couple of years. It's not like 100s of (luxury) rental units aren't being built alongside the condos either. At the very least, we aren't seeing the double whammie like in Calgary where both builder and buyer are speculating.

[yyzer]

While there is every reason to be a bit cautious right now, I think it is interesting that Tridel, who are possibly the Gold Standard of builders in the Toronto area, who are local (i.e. not evil international speculators), who are known to be conservative, and who have been around for a long, long time, are right now proceeding with 4 major new projects in the GTA:

300 Front
Ventus at Metrogate (2 towers)
Hullmark Centre (2 towers)
Park Nuvo at Essex

These four projects will bring a collective, what, 250 storeys of product onto the market- and thousands of units...Tridel are known to be very smart guys, so maybe they see something that is a little more positive than what some others are projecting ..;)

[raggedy13]

Not much progress since SFUVancouver's pics but oh well, here are some pics from today...

I wouldn't call Tridel conservative. They created the suburban highrise condo market, built in the mid-1990s when no else dare to, and were the first Toronto based developer to really make a move into the massive Asian market with an all chinese website and a permanent sales office in Vancity. They are also the complete package (agent, developer, general contractor, property manager) which gives them many options should a crisis ensue.(not gonna happen but, people walking away from deposits on en masse, for example)

Hullmark Developments is calling the shots with Hullmark Centre

francely....you've been busy....:D
haha, here's a short explanation:

I spent 3 days in TO with friends, and we visited some places on foot, some others by TTC (Chinatown, CN Tower, eating at Dundas Sq, movies at Bloor/Yonge, Centre Island); and finally, Niagara Falls by car.

I almost always had my camera with me, so it was easy to update some buildings seen regularly on this forum.

I imagine there will be some great views from "Woodwards' as it seems to be off on it's own a bit (nothing to block out sightlines):tup:
Great vantage point of V's skyline.

Jamieson is moving up fast, and Centennial should start picking up the pace now that they are past the podium floors.

that building handles a lot of high tech - IT stuff....

guess they need to make sure it stays cool.

????

BTW: you were at the inter-continental???????? hehe :0

- you also got a great shot of the Pinnicle Centre tower- Success!!! Success at last!!

haha

Did you guys notice how huge MLS is? - That thing is going to be a beast of a condo!! wow........

It's making Telus look small, and Telus is an office tower........good loard!!

[Delirium]

^ yeah. 24th floor :)

it's been a while since i've been in TO and it's looking great. i picked up the condo guide and i'm so impressed with the variety of buildings going up.
lots of cool stuff on the way!

^ The shorter tower is in front, right? it looks really tall, both completed towers will have such an positive effect on Bay St.

there goes the tallest building we've seen going up since 1992, something to the likes we won't see for another long while :(

[ErickMontreal]

there goes the tallest building we've seen going up since 1992, something to the likes we won't see for another long while :(

The 701 University (33-story/office) should start within the next 15 months, it will be higher than the 400 Sherbrooke.

Do not forget the twin-towers condominiums planned for René Levesque/Guy, the 38-story tower should roughly be the same hight than 400 Sherbrooke maybe even higher

[craner]

Why? :shrug:
What about that medical centre/Hotel, twin 60 storey proposal - was that pie-in-the sky ?

[caltrane74]

i think so....

[Rico Rommheim]

The 701 is stalling, been waiting too long. It ain't gonna go up until it finds a major tenet on to put on the lease! So far nothin'!


Apart from a couple gitty teenagers on mtlurb, the "René Levesque/Guy" project has nothing on it. And even if it does go ahead it won't be for a while.


The twin projects is pretty much dead. We've been had, once again.

[ErickMontreal]

The 701 is stalling, been waiting too long. It ain't gonna go up until it finds a major tenet on to put on the lease! So far nothin'!Apart from a couple gitty teenagers on mtlurb...

The 701 is all but stalled, how could you say such thing ? They came up with a major increase of the size of it two weeks ago. They also stated everywhere they will be open by 2011.

Dejardins will be a major anchor of it, whether you like it or not, the project is on the move...

No offence but 95 % of the news about Montreal come out from teenagers of Mtlurb, not from here, but you still could emulate their news section here. :)

I was referring UNIQUELY to the Guy/Pell project. $5 says we'll never see anything.


the 701 will take a while.

$5 says it won't start for at least 2 years if it goes up at all in its present form. which is its increased size if the annex.

If I'm wrong I'll gladly sign you the cheque amigo. :)

We have a deal here !

They need to get started the 33-story tower by July 2010 considering the annex is the phase 2 of it.

that building handles a lot of high tech - IT stuff....

guess they need to make sure it stays cool.

That's putting it mildly actually. It's a massive data center and connectivity hub. If you blew up that building I bet a lot of Toronto would lose their internet and cell phone connections. Having toured other huge data centers, it's surprising to me that they don't need *more* cooling equipment. Probably one of the more interesting buildings in Toronto, too -- I don't think there are many cities in the world that have a data center that large right in the middle of downtown. It's more typical to build them in big industrial parks out in the burbs.

http://www.151frontstreet.com/

(They can provide 100W per sq ft * 270000 sq ft = 27 megawatts, which is enough to power ~25000 homes.)

[WhipperSnapper]

If you blew up that building I bet a lot of Toronto would lose their internet and cell phone connections.

probably most of Canada and part of the United States, I've been told

[vegeta_skyline]

23. Murano South Tower 140 Meters (Toronto)
26. Casa 138 Meters (Toronto)

The heights have recently been increased for the above two projects by a couple of floors. These heights do not take those increases into consideration.

35. Verve 120 Meters (Toronto)

Apparently the projects final height is actually 129.63m
least according to Tridelwebmaster (http://www.urbantoronto.ca/showthread.php?t=684&page=19)
Then again you could probably take it off the list all together now...

18. Toronto International Film Festival Tower 157 Meters (Toronto)
SSC has this one quoted at 165m which would put it at #15 so who's right??

[vegeta_skyline]

18. Montage -Cityplace 157 Meters (Toronto)

I don't believe the revised height for montage is accurate...
consider this photo; (taken from the roof of One Sherway 32s)
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3035/2699468343_084e1424c6_o.jpg

Montage clearly looks shorter than Harbourview Estates II (503ft) and virtually the same height as Simcoe Place (485ft) and West One (509ft) though its definitely taller than its previously stated height of 449ft.

West One also looks shorter than HVE II. So 509ft might be somewhat excessive for it unless HVE II is taller than it as well.

The other thing to consider is what elevation the ground level is for these buildings. If you go down Spadina HVE II and West One are more or less at the same elevation. While Montage stands on higher ground (and Simcoe Place probably is built on a higher elevation than Montage)

So based on Simcoe Place's height of 485ft
Montage is probably the 3rd highest at around 490ft, (149m)
West One is 2nd at between 495-509ft,
and HVE II is the tallest City Place building so far at something like 503ft-520ft.

Course thats all just my best guess so obviously don't quote me on that but at least I do feel I'm right about their order. But yeah theres not much to do until theres some sort of offical verification on the heights of those buildings.

Excavation continues on The Residences at the Hotel Georgia Tower. For those who are unfamiliar with the project, the Hotel Georgia is one of Vancouver's oldest and most storied hotels. Completed in 1927 in the Georgian Revival style, The Hotel Georiga was the hotel of choice for entertainers and the well heeled for much of its life. The list of people who have stayed there is just remarkable. Just a few examples off the top of my head include Elvis, Bing Crosby, and Nat King Cole.

The 1970s era multi-storey parking lot between the Hotel Georiga and the Hotel Metropolitan has been demolished and in its footprint a new 153-metre mixed-use tower is being built. The the lower floors, to the height of the Hotel Georgia parapit, will be Class A office space and the remainder will be condos. The Hotel Georgia is being completely restored and converted into a boutique hotel with the opulance of the Hotel Georgia's pre-war golden era.

I did a quick run down in the city construction section - tossed it into excel and this is what I got......

There's definitely several suburban Vancouver towers that would fit into this list as well. For starters, I know Metrotower III in Burnaby which is currently u/c will be at 109m. I would have to get back to you with more details though. But considering this is beyond the #11 - 30 perhaps that wouldn't be worth my time. Plus I'm guessing there are probably some suburban Toronto towers that could fit in there too.

Anywho, interesting continuation of the list. Sure is a lot going on in Toronto even at these smaller sizes.

Yeah I'll clean up the list later and request the name of the thread be changed to "Canadian Skyscraper Construction"

probably really outdated but should be helpful for those towers not located in Vancouver, Toronto and Calgary proper.

[caltrane74]

I'll go back and revise the list for Burnaby, Surrey and Mississauga.

Montreal is really about building really tall though francely................... at least that's what I thought. And yes Mississauga is crushing it right now, the 2 absolute towers are coming in at 167 Meters and 151 meters,then everything I just posted above.

[francely57]

^ No way!

Montreal is way behind Mississauga in terms of current tall constructions...

1- Hilton Garden Inn ~120 m, 37
2- Louis-Bohème ~90 m, 28
3- Vistal 1 ?m, 27
4- Vistal 2 ?m, 27
5- Westin ?m, 22
6- Solano ?m, 20
everything else is below 16 storeys I think

[RTA]

Edmonton:

Icon I: 92m 30
Icon II: 112m 35
Quest: 73m 22

Tragically, that's all we have for 20+ floors under construction. A few more proposed, though.

You are missing a ton in Surrey too... although I have no idea what's going up there in terms of height so hopefully one of the more informed Vancouver or Surrey fourmers can fill you in there.

OT

are those two 60 storey towers for Montreal still alive? (even a tiny bit?)

thanks in advance

You are missing a ton in Surrey too

It certainly possible some are missing however I highly doubt a ton are missing from Surrey (unless your talking about the weight of highrises) Don't forget that Caltrane's list in this thread includes only those under construction.

The land was sold to Devimco (the developer in charge for the huge Griffintown development) a few months ago. I think they're making a concert hall on that particular site.

The twin-tower guys fought to keep the land, but their project wasn't that developed, and Devimco had made some kind of deal with the city.

Hey Cal, I am pretty certain that Onyx in Mississauga is 36 storeys - at least, that is what the latest ads in the Condo Guide are saying...

Also, where did you get those Mississauga heights in metres? I have been trying to find out the heights for One Park Tower and Solstice for a long time now, as I believe they are both over 400ft, but can't find the info....have you a source where I could find the numbers for these two?

thx
