Trump makes me nauseous...

Harbourplaza is applying for one additional floor on both towers...


So the end result will be 227/237

Cyro Dec 10, 2015 11:57 PM

#106 SkyCity Centre Winnipeg, although the floor count is not listed in the data base it stands at 45 floors proposed.

Looks great

Nor did I. Seemed like a fait accompli.


Nice work on the list, koops!

I'd vote for him in a heartbeat! :D Hope he gets the nomination and kicks Hillary's ass! (however unlikely given the majority female electorate)

I have to assume you're joking.

Anyways, back to skyscrapers.

koops65 Dec 11, 2015 2:36 AM

Glad you guys approve...

@ Chad, please update your drawing of 3 Civic Plaza...
@ Tony, please update your drawing of Spire...

To any editor, please add entries for 591 Sherbourne, 4800 Yonge and the new Foster tower at Bay & Scollard... those are the 3 towers I know of that are not in the diagram.
If there are any others I'm not aware of, please let me know.
There are many towers that are U/C but do not have a date associated... I plugged in 2017 for most of them as an estimate, but it would be nice to get some sort of official date.
How many floors are there in the Amazing Brentwood III? And in 217 Adelaide W? And West Village Towers I?

That will be added on my first update.

Chadillaccc Dec 11, 2015 2:39 AM

I don't really do drawings anymore. All of the ones I did were super crappy anyways :P 3 Civic Plaza could use some Koops love.



My 3 favorite towers on this list...


Scotia Plaza - 275 meters (#8)

All right... and I don't think Tony does drawings any more either...

Metro-One Dec 11, 2015 12:07 PM

Awesome Job!

Thanks a lot for putting this together.

Looks like Vancouver will have another to add to the list.

Looks like it will be 515 feet (157 meters) tall.

It seems Vancouver's new crazy is 150 to 170 meter towers.

At least they are now true skyscrapers...

Also, Vancouver House is actually 151.5 meters, not 150, according to the official thread in the Vancouver section.

Holy skinny batman! But I like it... and great to add another tower to the list. Will be over 200 soon. I'm going to need some sort of consensus or something official in order to modify a building height... we need to convince whatever editor does the Vancouver section to modify the height in the database.

Metro-One Dec 11, 2015 11:55 PM

Yeah, I am not sure who the editor is for the Vancouver section.

Also, here is the site that this tower is proposed for. it is the best flatiron site in Vancouver and will really add to the Georgia canyon.

This gives context to why it is so skinny.

Dylan was usually adding the new developments while I was usually updating the statuses twice a year.

Thanks for the info (and your work).

Just double checked the Vancouver House thread, and it is indeed 497 feet (151.5 meters).

I was originally proposed at 150 meters but had a slight increase.

Also one would think this thread would be a little more popular in the skyscraper forum.

Especially given all the work that goes into making such a great list.

koops65 Dec 13, 2015 3:22 PM

It's partly my own fault, since I haven't yet gotten around to updating my original post. I've been busy making new drawings...
Perhaps more will post once regular updates happen.

WhipperSnapper Dec 13, 2015 3:52 PM

There may not be the same interest as many years ago but, I'm sure followers will develop as the list is updated and improved. It needs to be stickied though.

Every few months, I will check ZZ-II's World Supertalls List over at SSC.
