As long as you guys have Caltrane and Steveve, you will never have to worry about that :rolleyes:

Top 10 u/c, Top 25 Proposal, Top 11-30 u/c

If the post counts were proportional to construction activity Toronto would have 5x more buildings under construction than it does already. That said, all these non-GTA threads are an embarrassment. "Canada's tallest" + qualifier is meaningless. As proven above, there's more than enough activity to warrant a Toronto sub forum.

Yeah, but I'm getting old, I can't keep up this rate of posting for long. I'm already looking for a retirement property to relax in.

I may not live in Toronto, but I do live in the GTA, and I certainly pay attention to Toronto development. But I also check out construction in the rest of Canada, and the rest of the world for that matter.

Regarding the GTA/non GTA threads, everyone is free to view and post on whatever thread they wish, and they can ignore whatever threads they want to as well. Why bitch about it???

Winnipeg does not have one either :(

Hey I'm #8 in the top 10 u/c and #12 in the top 11-30 u/c. :D
Didn't think I was posting that much. Still will never be anywhere near Caltrane or Steveve.
Looks like I have to get into the conversation more on the top 25 proposals, I'm only 17.

You'll never catch me. My boss gave me a company iPhone with as much data as I want. I fucking sleep with this thing. Do updates from the toilet seat at the Sheraton Hotel. Walking down Yonge Street, I'm battling with Whippersnapper. Uploading photos from the streetcar. Copying and pasting while I'm getting a lap dance at Zanibar, well anyways...

You guys get the picture ....

Oasis (Coquitlam, BC) at 42 storeys should be on this list.

Funny thing is that MtlUrb was founded by Malek (no comment). ;) A lot of MtlUrb members were on SSP before (a smaller number were on SSC), and they pretty much all followed Malek to MtlUrb (a lot of them don't think too highly of SSP, I'll leave it at that...). Mind you, there are some great members there too. A Montreal-specific section on this website would definitely give them some needed competition.

As I said when I started the thread for this building in the metro vancouver section, I'd appreciate it if anyone has any info on the height of this building and can update the Coquitlam page and skyscraper map., until then, I'm not sure if this building is over 110 meters or not so I won't add it quite yet.

Posted on the 1021 West Hastings thread in the Vancouver forum.

Based on my limited exposure to mtlurb, that place is akin to the yahoo comments page, save for 3-4 thoughtful people (who used to be the big guys on SSP).

I always found it strange how most Toronto skyscraper enthusiasts posts on SSC (even where I'm originally from), while almost everyone else in the country posts here. The Toronto section is the most busiest out of the North American Metropolis and States forums by almost double the nearest competitor. Although since 2007, UrbanToronto.ca is the place to be for overall urban enthusiasts and most concise/current project news. But the Canadian sections on SSC will have only a handful of regular contributors from other cities. Kind of like the complete opposite of here. LOL

Dude! I feel so left out now... :( I'm only like #7 on the top 10 u/c & #11 on the top 25 proposals :hell:
That's the last time I take the time to photograph Don Mill's! (I kid :P)


In all seriousness though, I don't see what the harm is in having this thread (even though Toronto is still the center of the universe btw :notacrook:) We already have threads that are selective on the main Canada forum see; "The Great Canadian Skyline thread for cities 500,000 and under"

Hey man I just saw the University Ave photo at UT. That shot is awesome man.

I also forgot yaletown fella.

My bad.

^ What about me? :(

:cheers:

I often miss other cities' updates as they are lost in all the projects occurring in Toronto. I for one am quite pleased with this thread, it will help me keep up to date with the rest of the country.

Of course this wouldn't be quite as big an issue if there was a Toronto subforum... but that is a whole other can of worms.

Ouch Cal, ouch.

oh geez...

I don't live in TO, but I certainly follow the development closely. Separating the Top 10 U/C and 25 Proposed just does more to separate TO and the ROC.

Instead of making two different threads why don't we expand them to "Top 25 U/C" and "Top 50 Proposed". Yes, those additional buildings added will also be largely be from the GTA, but it'll give other cities a chance to get shown without causing breaking up the board.

I actually already expanded the Top 25 Proposals thread to be the Top 50 Proposals (as a result of complaints months earlier about Toronto's domination) but I was never able to change the title. I think a mod would have to do it. In fact, 15 of the 25 proposals in the new non-GTA Proposals thread are already captured in my Top 50 Proposals thread, so there's a lot of redundancy happening now.

Check out the first page of the Top 25 (50) Proposals thread, as I always keep it up-to-date. I'm also planning on adding a new feature to the list: a small blurb under each proposal noting the latest news/rumours. You can see that I already added it for a few of the Toronto proposals a while back, but I haven't gotten around to doing it for the entire list.

Also, there's no point in expanding the Tallest 10 U/C to 25 as there's already a Tallest 11-30 U/C thread. We don't need any more redundancy.

I (quite surprisingly) snuck onto the "Top 10 U/C" list with 46 posts, but 45 of those posts are likely just me complaining about how ugly Trump is, so perhaps those shouldn't count? ;)
