Construction Sites In your City II

[harls]

Not my city, but I was in Toronto this past weekend and snapped these -

Concord Sky



8 Elm St.



This guy was tethered and applying sticky adhesive from about 30 storeys up.

THE MARLSTONE - 19 FLOORS - DOWNTOWN HALIFAX


THE KEVEL AT KING'S WHARF - 27 FLOORS - DOWNTOWN HALIFAX

The nice thing about the Kevel is the lowrise masonry portion which has some detailing and tile mosaics. Then they're building another phase next door which will have a shorter tower, some more interesting lowrise bits, and a public waterfront portion. Then on top of that it's next to the canal daylighting project.

One weakness is that it's not integrated very well into the downtown for pedestrians due to some empty lots and curvy 70s era roads.

8 Elm makes me angry. The bronze trim is great. The window wall isn't mullion heavy and any spandrel panels are indistinguishable from the vision glass but it still looks bad without uniform panel widths. The venting which could have been hidden in the generous cantilevered balcony slabs cleaning up the facade too.

Hamilton's Twin Towers are rising! Television City will be the tallest

For a split second, I thought, "That's dangerous".

Those recent Metrotown projects are actually great, really setting a good bar for suburban development.

Probably the only city in Canada right now to have the water fountain on haha:

Not an exciting tall tower, but some decent skyline background.

Cold, corporate, 80s lobbies in Burnaby are head and shoulders above what you see for Southern Ontario's development. I still question the diminishing spacing and growing height of the towers in Burnaby as prime living despite the resort vibe vs people warehouse. Actual mixed use along main streets.

I spotted a few "shacks by the stacks"!

Downtown Calgary looks like its leveling up.

Great updates, gaviscon. Thanks for posting.

Ottawa's second tallest is about to be topped out, with the penthouse structure peaking out from the top. Odenak will be the tallest in the Downtown area at 120 meters (along with its 105 meter twin).

Here's a view from Bayview Station. The arena will be built between where I'm standing and the Odenak towers, along with nearly a dozen more towers, a few taller than Odenak.


Balcony railings are also going in along the podium. A closeup from me, and one from Pat on RFC Community Discord.





Although in Ottawa this will be one of the most prominent features on the skyline, hoggytime on Skyrise showed us how it would look amongst Calgary's towers. See the little purple towers .

What Vancouver does best: remove power lines.
The city has been running a program to remove its infamous H-frame poles since the mid 2010s.
Most developers also contribute by removing power lines in the vicinity of new construction projects.

This is one of the most recent to go near Trounce Alley, Abbott St.
