50 Scollard is goodlookin'. The venting is the only thing keeping it from a magazine cover. The firm's other tower is the celeb. Tallest in the city with complex gravity defying engineering. I don't find the execution better than this so far.

Did you do this Koops? If so great job, thanks for taking the time to do it.
It looks like The One will be a Super Tall next month (finally). I'm happy they will be able to claim tallest building even if it's only for about 5 or 6 months. One Yonge is growing like a weed.

WhipperSnapper · #6 Posted **Apr 22, 2025, 2:00 PM**

I concur. This is ingenious and much appreviated.

I read a recent article that suggested The One is still 6 months from topping out and 2.5 years from completion. IIRC, The One only needs to be topped out to be called a supertall so it will be this year.

Gresto · #7 Posted **Apr 22, 2025, 8:21 PM**

Agreed. Thanks for that, koops.

On Earth Day, take in the view of Canada’s tallest residential Zero Carbon Building! This 21-storey tower (Solara Flats) in downtown Winnipeg, developed by UWCRC2.0 Inc. and Lotus Holdings, features:

🌆Building Integrated Photovoltaic Panels that provide return on investment as a energy generating asset while utilizing daylight and reducing cooling loads.

😎60 Solar-Thermal Rooftop Collectors that support hot water heating demand, backed up with a high- efficient, carbon-free heating system via air-source heat pump systems.

🌡️Increased Envelope Thermal Systems: Increased envelope insulation R-Values and utilization of thermal clips, including cast-in-place thermal breaks at balcony locations.

❄️Central Cold Climate Air Source Heat Pump System draws from several heating sources including recapturing heat
created from the cooling system.

The future of environmentally sustainable housing takes all of us. We're supporting the vision of UWCRC2.0 for a more sustainable housing future through innovative problem solving, effective budget management, and collaboration with design and trade partners to make projects like this feasible.

You guys are welcome. I really should make them more often, it only takes a few hours. 99% of the drawings are mine, so I'm not worried about copyright infringement or anything like that.

Yeah, these updates are great, keep them up! It's a nice visual cue to remember how close these buildings are to completion.

LITTLE BROOKLYN - WYSE ROAD, DARTMOUTH, NS

LittleBrooklynDartmouth.ca all of the renderings below are from their site.

They broke ground this week on THE ARROWS

Our current tallest is 32 floors so THE ARROWS will have the title of tallest building in Atlantic Canada. There are other 40-storeys planned in Halifax but this is the only one under construction. For those unfamiliar with Dartmouth search for Dartmouth Shopping Centre. This is at the foot of MacDonald Bridge and is just across the street from our busiest bus terminal.

I sometimes see 32 for 7177 Quinpool and sometimes 34. For some reason the municipality often separates out penthouse levels from the floor count, so they say something like "X floors plus penthouse [1-2 occupied floors, not just mechanical]".

It used to be common to say Fenwick was the "tallest building East of Montreal", which would annoy me as the real tallest is 132 m Édifice Marie-Guyart in Quebec City. This new building might actually be the tallest though.

WhipperSnapper · #15 Posted **Apr 25, 2025, 5:55 PM**

I've seen penthouses counted separately elsewhere but, your post has made me curious about it.

WhipperSnapper · #16 Posted **Apr 24, 2025, 3:01 PM**

Podium city. Harsh, concrete urbanism maximizing people warehousing. Leaves Montgomery Burns ecstatic over the perennial dusk but leave Chief Iron Eyes Cody crying over the artificial Coruscant environment.

11 Robert, while architectural overwrought and potential for equally less habitable investor units, is a breath of fresh air from a whole block of smoke glass window wall.

Architecture criticism aside, I think most of the Hamilton SSP forumers are glad that downtown Hamilton is repopulating and will be more vibrant once all of these units are filled with people.

That seems to be the go to with mediocre architecture and urban design. I'm not convinced given the infamy of many of Toronto's already developed, investor residential districts that the created "vibrancy" from filling them is the one that forumers' are desiring. A 400 unit shoe box with 15 to 20 times coverage is overcrowding. That doesn't take into account being in Canada with a housing affordability crisis and a rapidly growth temporary population that the investors may turn the 400 unit shoe box tower into 1000 bed hostel. The saving grace is that it takes a whole district over one development for it to happen and full potnetial build out is decades away for most real estate development clusters.

I'm not saying that behaviour is tied to architecture or built form. Having interesting buildings/towers and spaces that aren't oppressively dense makes a nice distraction from the vacuous self importance of each progressive generation. It's the little things like separating from one's screen to pick up after your dog.

Nice update SteelTown - lots going on in Hamilton, should be filling in some gaps I'd imagine. How's the condo sales there compared to the slump in Toronto?
