There's another on Pembroke St one street over.
However, those two are the only ones I can think of out of the 2000+ highrises in the city. |
I thought there'd be a bunch more, but even some other likely candidates like Theatre Park and Museum House are in the 4,000-6,000 sqft range. 2,000 sqft floorplates are really quite small for a high-rise.
There are a few projects in the works that look like they'd be in that range though:
24 Mercer
33 George
369 King
217 Adelaide
A few common factors they share:
- Constrained sites with no ability for larger land assemblies.
- Surrounded by other high-rises - making zoning/community approvals easy.
- Generally higher-end residential developments - smaller floorplates are desirable for exclusivity & more light.
