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

Richmond Yards: https://i.imgur.com/tSYK9blh.jpg Source 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.

Not suprising that photographers have been prowling The Well after its grand opening. Here’s some nice shots.

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. |
The Philips square tower 200m-60 floors. I really like how this one turned out, and its stunning impact on the skyline.

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%. https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...6-2023_(2).jpg https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...6-2023_(1).jpg Par Gabriel Picard — Travail personnel, CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=133572718 The old hospital will be integrated into the new complex.

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. Quote:

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
https://i.imgur.com/og5zJUSh.jpg Source 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): https://i.imgur.com/ufuvqI6.png Source A building permit is about to be issued for twin ~30 storey towers on this site (Spring Garden West). |

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.

1477 West Broadway (39f/mixed use) is close to being topped out. It sits on top of Granville/Broadway station which is set to open next year.

Looks like they've really cheaped out on the cladding...
https://www.urbanyvr.com/wp-content/...W-Broadway.jpg |
^ A tried and true Vancouver tradition. It looks like some kind of reflective metal or paint.
|
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. |
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. |

Easily my favourite Vancouver skyscraper now. |
Reina on the Queensway, apparently designed by women. But imagine it was built by women?!
https://imgur.com/a/BeV6hvy 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. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...32c1fdf3_b.jpgDilliusionment, Insubstantiality by Josh Kennington Photographics, on Flickr 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 https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...3f4cd81a_b.jpgThey Rise by Josh Kennington Photographics, on Flickr |

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.
