Damn... would kind of suck to use up half the space on this list on the Station Square and Solo projects... jesus. Lame... but I guess I have to.

Yeah I re-read it. It does make sense, I didn't know you had an actual list and a potential list.

Carry on!

Yeah, no worries


If you want to use a Winnipeg proposal, you could use the Pencil Tower (Osbourne Village, if built would be the tallest in the village) but it is very unlikely to go through despite the developer's best efforts since the site they've chosen has some strict by-laws preventing such height.

http://www.davidpennerarchitect.ca/p...cil-tower.html

It would be more than 109m tall (55 Nassau) though not known how tall exactly. Biff or tv would be the guys to ask about that building's proposed height. It might even be taller than 201 Portage.

Would love to get some heights of the solo and station square projects. Both sites already have demolition well under way.

The Carmen proposal can't be on any list until it's an actual official proposal with a height and floor count estimation.

andddd...

The estimated heights are already posted on the list here, the tallest tower in station square will be around 175 meters.
I just hate to add 7 towers (basically a third of the list) to the list using only one render for 5 of them and another for the other two. Pretty much would render the list monotonous and useless. I'm hoping they actually release some real renders of the individual buildings soon.

Okay, thank you. I'm still learning the ropes.

No worries man. If you get any new info about the project or an actual half decent render, post it here and if it's tall enough I'll add it to the list.

Apparently Herald Square in Calgary could end up being anywhere from 220 to 300 meters now due to a redesign and possible height increase. Rumour has it.

I hope it's 300, that will put pressure on Toronto to go 350m.

and now apparently I was wrong and it is supposed to be two towers with a small chance of being over 250 meters... hmmm

Still pretty impressive though.

I have mixed feelings for those towers. Halifax is a little bit like Quebec city. Its charm is a big asset.
