Excavators were out in force this morning.....

Love this list - it really is the definitive "skyscraper" list for Canada and it's organized so well.

koops65 · #**123** Posted **May 19, 2016, 9:59 AM**

Thanks guys...

I'll update the list again soon. There's lots to add, with 8 new towers proposed in Toronto last week. (I'm shocked so little has been said about that on the 50 tallest proposals thread.) I'm still working on making drawings... the ones I already uploaded are really just placeholders. It would be nice to have proper renders, but I do have enough info to make a reasonable approximation of most of them.

We need to see the designs before we can chat.

Still those are monster towers, and its very exciting.

Yes, there's nothing to really discuss so far. Just phantoms.

Well Teahouse Condos (175 meters) will be excavating around the Yonge Subway tunnel, so that will be interesting.. Usually excavations are pretty boring...

no go on stick-e-ing this thread?

There are some crude elevations for the LCBO Towers on the city's website.

A number of towers in Toronto that seem to be stuck in prep and/or haven't been updated on UT in a while.

Who is in charge of sticky-ing around here?

Those elevations are what I used... just waiting now for my drawings to be approved.

No, I was responding to koops's puzzlement about the lack of interest with re: the LCBO towers.

Ok, cool.

koops65 · #**132** Posted **May 24, 2016, 11:25 PM**

Edit...

koops65 · #**133** Posted **Jul 13, 2016, 5:18 PM**

Another update to the list on page 1. Plenty of changes since the last update. There are now 220 towers on the list.

Skyisnolimit · #**134** Posted **Jul 14, 2016, 1:58 AM**

I think the 160 meter Emerald in Edmonton should be added as it was approved by DP.

urbancanadian · #**135** Posted **Jul 16, 2016, 5:44 AM**

Hey Koops, great list. Thanks for putting this all together! Just thought I'd clarify some of the numbers for Metro Vancouver.

"Brentwood ONE", and "Brentwood TWO" are both identical in height at 186.5m. The diagrams are incorrect.
"Brentwood THREE" is 182.0m. (Also, the names in quotations are the official names for each tower in the development. IOW, no "amazing" or roman numerals.)
"4630 Kingsway" in Burnaby is 172.0m and 52 floors. This is the final Station Square tower.
- You can replace "Station Square V" with this tower.
- You can also remove "Station Square IV" since it's height is 140.5m.
"660 Quayside Drive - Tower 2" in New Westminster is 156.0m. (new entry)
It's not a big deal to me if you change it, but while Living Shangri-La's height is correct (to the roof), it's height (top of fins) is 201m.
- Since the fins are archetectural, should they not be counted? From what I can tell, spires are counted. Just wondering - thanks again!

koops65 · #**136** Posted **Jul 16, 2016, 6:36 AM**

Thanks... these changes will be reflected in the next update. Also, the editors of the Vancouver and Edmonton sections of the database need to be made aware of these changes as well. Regarding Shangri-La, I thought this had already been debated, and the roof height is also the official height, because it's the window washing machine on top that brings the height to 201 metres, which is not architectural...

caltrane74 · #**137** Posted **Jul 16, 2016, 11:08 AM**

I wish we could give that one to Vancouver, then FCP would be 355 meters ...and Canada's first supertall.

WhipperSnapper · #**138** Posted **Jul 16, 2016, 2:38 PM**

Yeah, Shangri-la is well documented with great sources in the database. The heights for the Brentwood towers have flip flopped over the years. Can you provide a elevation or something official to confirm? Same goes with Station Square.

**Edit. I can't find anything on 660 Quayside except for that the site was purchased about a month ago.

The rezoning request was approved. That's it. No development permit submitted yet. So I expect it's a long way from shovels in the ground.

Daveography · #**140** Posted **Jul 20, 2016, 10:04 PM**

^ The list includes proposals, not just towers for which shovels are or have previously been in the ground.
