Tallest Building UC in Your City
 

A thread for cities with buildings UC over 100 meters. Feel free to post your city's tallest UC even if it's under. It just won't be on the OP list. All heights on list are rounded to the nearest meter.

Ice District Tower B is not u/c, only the podium.

Ah. It is listed as UC in the database. I will make the revision. What is the height of CNIB Tower? It's the only other one near or over 100 m in Edmonton.

Richmond Yards (103m) is the tallest project UC in Halifax right now, as far as I know this will be the city's tallest once completed (possibly second to Fenwick Tower):

If that is the case, it will be the first 100 meter in the Atlantic provinces. Thanks for letting me know.

If The ONE gets it new proposed height approved it will move into #1 in Toronto.

Yeah this one was a bit of a surprise, it's in a part of the North End that isn't subject to the same height/envelope restrictions as downtown.

Fenwick Tower is also being renovated and originally the renos would have pushed it a bit over 100m. The plans changed a lot over the years though and I'm not sure whether or not it ended up getting any taller in the end.

There's also plans for a 100m+ building at King's Wharf in Dartmouth, although AFAIK that particular building isn't UC yet.

It's true that the 100m mark has always seemed like a major psychological barrier here.

Edit: I nearly forgot, there's a hotel currently UC in Bayer's Lake (western suburbs) that was supposed to be well over 100m but somehow the excavation involved ended up eating up a huge part of their budget and the project got scaled back into something really disappointing and bland.

King's Wharf is now a stale proposal as there has been no movement on it in years, and yeah I remember the original Fenwick proposal from when I was a teenager. Crazy. The final result is awful and didn't even add the height. I love Richmond Yards though, very cool.

There is also 7177 Quinpool Road under construction. 32 floors.

King's Wharf is not really stale. It is an active multi-phase development that has been adjusted a few times. Next up is a 26 storey tower and the 12 storey Brightwork. The main tower is a future phase. I would not consider it under construction.

I guess it depends what you mean by a "stale proposal". King's Wharf is a large, multi-phased project and construction has been ongoing :shrug:

The largest tower could end up getting a redesign but I'm confident that it will be built.

I meant that the main tower is a stale proposal, I'm well aware of the scope of the entire project. There has been no movement or announcements relating to the signature tower though. I'm sure it will *eventually* be built, but as of now there is essentially no set design and no timeline.

Is 7177 Quinpool 100 meters?

I don't think the height of 7177 Quinpool has been confirmed yet. 7177 Quinpool is an old grandfathered project that didn't require public consultation and it didn't have the usual renderings and elevation drawings online. I think some forumers have said that they've seen the plans in person or that they are available in a municipal office. Maybe they'll appear online sometime or maybe we will need to wait and see what materializes and if it is taller than Richmond Yards.

I don't think 32 floors could be much below 100 m just based on required ceiling heights.

Depressing thread to think about with regard to St. John's. I'm sure somewhere in the suburbs someone is building a house with a 3rd floor.

I noticed I could see DTK Kitchener - 419 feet/40 storeys - from Hwy 7 & Wellington Rd 32 yesterday, making me wonder if you could see Guelph's Basilica of Our Lady Immaculate's spire from the top? Anyway I think it's going to become Kitchener's CN Tower - from far away you'll be able to tell where downtown is. Until Kitchener got these highrise condos it was easy to get lost.

As for you NFLDers, I remember 20 year's ago working in Waterloo I met a bunch of folks from NFLD with amusing tales about getting off the train/greyhound bus in downtown Toronto, walking up Yonge St and being intimidated by the "freaks" and tall buildings. So they moved to Galt & Kitchener - which they said was more like St John's. (Driving on the south side of Galt recently I came across a Newfoundland grocery store.)

Iinm, you can already see Guelph from the top of some K-W towers (it's 25km away). Cambridge has had a substantial Newfoundlander population since WWII, when they started coming for work.

Ottawa's Trinity Centre at Bayview Station ([900 Albert St] | 234/203/105m | 65/56/23f;) is suppose to break ground in Q3 or Q4 2021.

Updated design and ground floor plan with some perspective tenants.

I don't think Regina has a building over 3 stories under construction right now.

Oméga Condos Urbains, not sure about the exact height probably around 24 meters

I'm confused.. this picture of the building is hideous.. but the pic Chad posted is of a really stunning building... what happened?.. which version is the correct one?.. Please be the first one.

I think they are both up to date, but show two different angles. The tower is wide along one axis and narrow along another (sort of an 8 shape? the planning materials aren't very clear about it, but include renderings side-by-side from different angles).

I'm optimistic that it will look decent because this is one of the larger and more established developers who seem to get better with each round of projects and they plan on using curtain wall on this project.

Richmond Yards is part of this scene below (white cranes, not currently at their full height). It's interesting in that it's more of an extension to the urban core rather than just some infill projects replacing already pretty good buildings downtown. This is around 2-3 km north of downtown, and most of the new construction is happening on underused former industrial sites. There are a couple of 20-ish storey towers under construction here too, so it won't just be one 30 storey tower and a bunch of 8-12 storey stuff.
