Aqualuna at Bayside | 61.87m | 18s | Tridel | 3XN l u/c

Balcony waves forming …. so great to see cladding that keeps its render-promises (including curved glass).

The Trinity/New Moxy Hotel

This Cogswell/Gottingen area is improving by leaps and bounds but still has the strange Staples. It was up for sale and I wonder if it'll be torn down soon.

It's interesting how downtown Halifax hotel options have expanded even during the pandemic and post-pandemic period. It used to have very mediocre hotel options but Muir, Moxy, and Sutton Place are all new and different for that market. I would still say it doesn't have a lot of higher-end major hotels, but maybe that will change in the coming years.

Skye includes a hotel component but with fewer than 100 rooms. Sutton Place is 262 rooms.

7177 Quinpool Rd is new and different for the city as a tall, narrow tower with decorative offset balconies. The jury's still out on how it will ultimately look but I could see it impacting the local culture somewhat around what kind of buildings people want or feel are appropriate in different places. The new library built a decade or so ago had an impact on the acceptance of modern architectural styles.

There was a group of people who were traumatized by 60's/70's projects like Fenwick and the Maritime Centre and basically viewed highrises as concrete blobs to be minimized (ironically they often pushed for planning rules that encouraged uglier squat buildings). They would assume that an area like the Northwest Arm would look best with as little development as possible. I think that perception is becoming less common now, and NS is mostly wilderness and small towns or villages so hopefully people can eventually accept that it can be interesting and useful to urbanize a small number of these natural settings.

I don't know. Quantity and height is impressive but, there's also of mediocre there. I would like to give the edge to Halifax 5 to 10 years ago. I think there's enough to give today the edge

Richmond Yard is interesting. The cladding is decent. The main tower is odd but, the cladding pulls it off. The main tower in relation to the completed first phase doesn't feel v cohesive and homey.

Nice work Coastalkid. That was the first real project run down Ive ever seen for Halifax.

There are a lot of towers under construction not pictured there although most are just at a site prep or excavation phase so not very interesting. A lot of urban infill type construction is lowrise. Dartmouth in particular is going to get a lot of new towers relative to what is there today.

The total crane count is probably in the 30-40 range or maybe higher (I think it was 36 or something a while ago). I would say the new crop of buildings coming up generally looks a bit nicer than the current ones pictured here, although the quality was actually better around the late 2010's. Part of what happened is that the bank office leases were up so they moved into prime new office buildings (TD, BMO, RBC), and a new convention centre was built. Queen's Marque is part office and got Stewart McKelvey, largest law firm in the region. These days there is no office demand but tons of demand for housing. It is more that the type of project shifted rather than architectural standards backpedaling.

That's just human nature.

People waited two hours for a freaking In N' out burger in Langley, BC last month. Hype culture will get certain people to wait or pay way more than they normal would for very average things.

I lined up for 3 hours to get on the newest Wonderland roller coaster when I was 18ish. It didn't feel like waiting for most of those 3 hours. I can relate to the teen blonde in the yellow shoes and her two buddies. The lone guy in the ball cap and grey hoodie is just depressing. He is clearly questioning his choice too.

Presumably, the 3 towers on Front are being occupied on a daily basis. Pizza and moving and waiting in line is a break from the chaos.

Really looking forward to the Well. It's the most ambitious project Toronto built in the last decade, and the most ambitious real estate development project in Canada right now (maybe Oakridge would be at the same level).

It also pulls the centre of gravity west, establishing Spadina as a core downtown street. Spadina already is downtown, but it's kind of peripheral downtown. The Well is kind of to this part of Toronto what Rockefeller Center was the Midtown Manhattan in the 1930s.

There can't be a single spandrel glass window and when was the last time we saw a tower like that.

There isn't a whole lot to see yet but here is a run-down on some of the highrises being built around downtown Dartmouth and in the Macdonald bridge area on the Dartmouth side. There is going to be a completely different skyline in these areas in a few years.

27-storey King's Wharf tower; looks like this crane will be raised soon
You can see the nearly-complete Moffatt's Pharmacy phase I in behind. When that's done the old building will be torn down and another tower (https://www.zzap.ca/projects-1/moffatt's-pharmacy) will be built there.

I'm happy that this one has progressed from proposal to construction so quickly - I hope it turns out exactly as rendered.

That area has sure grown up as well. Went from basically zero towers to being completely enclosed in a little over a decade. This is the sort of environment where this type of development makes sense - though I wish more of it looked like 101 Spadina and less like the generic blue spandrel towers.

There is finally sort of a rendering available on the internet for 7177 Quinpool in Halifax, which is now almost completed:

A small, but full height rendering is available on BMR Structural Engineering's Website (https://bmreng.com/project/one-77-multi-unit-residential-development/). It looks like there might be glazing on the top level to hide the mechanical penthouse better than at Richmond Yards.

https://bmreng.com/wp-content/uploads/One-77-289x600.jpg

A building permit has been issued for the Ralston development but there's still no actual rendering. Just some rough interpretations of what the planning rules allow. I wonder if this will be another one that will be under construction for years with no clear public renderings. I believe this site was under a pointless 66 m height limit (measured from the average elevation, so top to bottom may be more like 70 m+).

https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img921/2778/BRtxXp.jpg

The flat site in behind and to the right a bit is the Skye site where demo and site prep is happening now, so in a few years the ugliest "parking lot district" in downtown Halifax is going to shrink to about half the size of what it is now. I believe the 2 parking lots visible here are government owned. Almost all underused land in the urban core is some kind of government land banking or tied to government land sales that got bogged down for years/decades.

It's topped out but this area's still only half finished as the corner building is barely started and there are still a lot of details left on the main tower. It's rumoured that the Shoppers is moving into Richmond Yards and then getting redeveloped. If so this corner will be completely transformed. The other side of Robie is pretty good while the Richmond Yards side is a former industrial area that had some big box construction in the 90's/2000's.

Relevé Ottawa [400 Albert St] | 78/98m | 23/29f + Marriott Renaissance (excavation next door) 35f. The Marriott will be the tallest in the traditional Downtown.

Glass is now starting to wrap around the curve. With all the boxy rectangle towers around it, this one looks like it was teleported in from another city.

Zibi.

The new building on the Quebec side is 'Aalto 2'. Interesting...I would have thought 'O2', because it looks more like 'O' than Aalto. I think Aalto 2 might be the most architecturally meritless 21st century building in the NCR.

Nice to see some heritage retention, and there's enough set-backs that they don't look tacked-on. How much will actually be retained? Is it the entire buildings and interiors, or just the facing outside walls?

Those townhomes were trashed long before this development was a twinkle in Maldive's eye. I don't know why they were incorporated. I'm a little happy that they were kept as the rest of the podium gets a B for effort but a fail for execution. Ideally, they would have spent more attention fine tuning the podium and torn these down for some breathing space.

Recommend a break from The Well.

I said it once before. That Ottawa complex is going to look like shit with flat window wall panels arranged around all those curves.

Posted these in the great hostpital thread but thought it might be of interest here as well.

Construction site of the massive, $2.2B expansion of the Enfant-Jésus hospital in Quebec City. Interestingly, this new hospital will mainly be heated/air-conditioned by water vapor. The city's incinerator is located about 2km away from the hospital and a few years ago, in anticipation of the construction, huge pipes were installed between the two complexes so that water vapor produced at the incinerator will be directed to a power plant installed at the hospital. It will cut greenhouse emissions by an estimated 95%.

The old hospital will be integrated into the new complex. In the following renders, you can see how the architects tried to somehow aesthetically merge the new construction with the old one.

Booming Church Street.

Below, 8 towers rising east of Yonge, on/near Church Street. Nearly 1,000 metres of new height for the mostly* low/mid-rise street until a half dozen years ago.

Still to come, a new tallest called QueenChurch (underway soon) @ 186 metres. In the pipeline is 119 Church just shy of 200 metres, 18 Dalhousie @ 175 metres and Centricity @ 171 metres.

*The first tower to be built on Church Street was Sp!re @ 147 metres, completed in 2007. By 2017/18 or so, four 100m+ projects were completed on Church.
Axis @ 121.9m

There are new, more detailed renderings for the tower that's half built at King's Wharf in Dartmouth. This one is to be called the Kevel (typo? :)).

It has an interesting lowrise shop component. I wonder if it'll turn out like this. The new tower is the tallest one in the first rendering. The ones in behind are already completed and the one in front is a future phase. I wish they had better plans to integrate this development with the adjacent blocks, but there is a rail line that divides them a bit.

It is not done yet but there are some photos of a 3 storey wooden heritage building being relocated for a development in Halifax: https://www.facebook.com/rushtonconstruction

Source (https://www.facebook.com/rushtonconstruction)

This will be interesting to watch. A few years ago I think this building might have just been torn down. Aside from preserving the buildings many of these relocations bring the streetscapes up a notch by reducing setbacks.

There is another similar apartment building that's not getting saved near Robie Street (facing Balcom Square):

A building permit is about to be issued for twin ~30 storey towers on this site (Spring Garden West (http://springgardenwest.com/)).

Developers had less than $300 in the bank when construction stopped on their Kitchener condo tower
Stalled housing project on Weber Street may soon be put up for sale with a buyer sought by March
Jeff Outhit Reporter December 7, 2023
KITCHENER — Two Kitchener developers owed more than $100 million but had less than $300 in their bank account when they lost control of their unfinished, 15-storey condominium tower on Weber Street East, a new report says.

The report provides more detail around the financial meltdown of the Elevate housing project, before lenders persuaded a court to order the project into receivership in October. Receivership assigns control to a court appointee who can sell assets to pay outstanding debt.

Development partners Werner Leuschner and Kamal Patel pre-sold all 177 units in the unfinished tower plus 325 units in other proposed towers before they ran out of money, court documents indicate.

The developers have not responded to interview requests left with people at addresses listed as their residences. “I'm not the spokesperson for that project,“ a man said Tuesday, shutting the door on a reporter who asked if he is Patel.

Condo buyers in the first tower agreed to pay an average of $470,000, according to a list of buyers and prices. Down payments averaged $92,000.

KSV, the Toronto-based restructuring firm acting as the receiver, told condo buyers in October that their purchase agreements remain in full force and “there are no steps that you need to take in this regard at this time.”
The receiver will ask a judge Dec. 12 to authorize a sale of the Elevate property, as it is. If approved, it's anticipated a buyer might be found as early as mid-March in a sale handled by realty firm CBRE...

I'm usually not a fan of distance updates like this, but it shows scale when considering these 3 buildings (all about 35 to 40 floors) are nearly topped out and near each other in an already dense part of town.
Two of these buildings are condo towers, and one is rental

Whilst walking in northern Mississauga, I noticed a set of million dollar townhomes are to be built on Brittania, near Heartland.
It's a fairly central area, so it's disappointing to see such a low density project going here, but I also know its the only realistic thing to build here.

We usually don't see eye to eye on the meaning behind facadectomies. I agree with you they did well recreating the lost block at Garden District and the design of the development itself. It's about as good as it gets putting a giant tower behind and over a recreated block of housing from yesteryear. One can still imagine a kitchen where a kitchen would be and not a large but still deficient elevator core for a residential skyscraper.

This tower elicits the skyscraper in skyscraperpage. The popularity is all about height. Everything else about this tower is crap. Cheap cladding. Ominous massing including a giant ass podium. It frustrates me as Broadway is a cool, diverse, organic, urban high rise street in part to redevelopment being achieved through true intensification than block busting assemblages. This one tower is benign. The excitement over its height relates to the precedence being set. The same applies to future tall development busting blocks for bland podiums that could be in anywhere like Vaughan Ontario.

It's not you guys. It's me.

Jan 16, 2024, 4:01 PM

The tower itself is nothing special, but it will offer a good amount of amenities to the neighbourhood. The curiosity about this tower in the Vancouver forums is more about much higher densities finally jumping over False Creek, and into the Broadway Corridor.

As for the current state of Broadway, that's subjective, of course. I think Broadway is a very ugly, and very under-utilized street with a ton of potential. You could raze the strip from Commercial to Arbutus, and nothing of value would be lost architecturally*.

*Ok, that's a tad hyperbolic. There are a few architectural gems in Mount Pleasant, but by and large, Broadway is not pretty.

The rebuilt Salvation Army near me is nearly done with cladding, and looking decent, if not a bit dystopian considering the dark colour choice

Reina on the Queensway, apparently designed by women. But imagine it was built by women?!

I rather like the historic bungalows and strawberry box homes north of here, and all the 1950s buff brick apartment buildings are beautiful between the Humber, Berry Rd, Stephen Drive and over towards Royal York. Really developers ought to be inspired by this neighborhood rather than the generic overplanned crap they build today.

There's 5 tower's under construction in this image, though one of them is just out of frame, but the crane peeks in to the left edge.
Starting from the left, we have 2 condo towers (Untitled Toronto) going up, followed by the topped out rental building at 100 Broadway, then the rental addition to 75 Broadway, and a twin condo project going up right next door.

Altogether, this is 5 of 8 buildings going up along this street at the moment.

The first two projects I mentioned are here as well

KING Toronto | 57.6m | 16s | Westbank | Bjarke Ingels Group l u/c

Given this will be clad in a gazillion glass blocks, the last thing you’d want to hear is the glass supplier going belly up… but that is what happened last fall. Still searching for a new supplier AFAIK.

A ton of heritage retention along King with this project.
