1021 W Hastings in Vancouver.

According to an article released today it appears this tower may begin construction in Q3 2011 !

While it is not the largest tower, at 145 meters it is still decent and the design is amazing IMO.

^yup, love the subtle curve/wave.

Travis007 · #**2887** Posted **Jul 5, 2011, 1:03 AM**

1021 W Hastings is a sharp looking tower, the curve is simple but elegant. I like the contrast between classic and modern.

Who are the architects of the Hamilton and Montreal projects above. Both are beautiful.

SteelTown · #**2889** Posted **Jul 5, 2011, 1:25 AM**

For Hamilton's proposal it's Norr Limited.

Developer floats massive student apartment complex

Jun 30 2011 in News by Greg Beneteau, Editor-in-Chief

Proposed project on Phillip Street would include retail space, house 2,255 residents

Quote:

According to plans submitted to the Federation of Students by Markham-based JD Development Group, the proposed
complex at 256 Phillip Street would consist of five multi-storey buildings arranged around a central courtyard.

Quote:

The two street-facing buildings, each 20 storeys high, would have retail and commercial space on the ground floor, with the possibility of more in the basement. Two additional 24-storey buildings and a 25-storey building would be constructed behind them.

Quote:

The buildings, targeted primarily at students, would accommodate up to 2,255 occupants. If constructed, it would one of the tallest and most populated apartment complexes in the city.

Quote:

Matthew Colphon, president of the Federation of Students, said he was contacted by UW Housing Services at the beginning of June because the developer was looking for information about “what kinds of amenities students might want to see in that space.”

The subject was brought up at the Feds student council meeting June 12, and councillors have been making inquiries with constituents through Twitter and Facebook, Colphon said.

Based on the replies received, “things like a coffee shop, pharmacy or grocery store were all top options,” he said.

Quote:

“Having some high-density corridors—like along King Street, like along University and perhaps like along Philip Street—if someone wants to do that, it’s not exactly surprising, because that’s what city policy has been for six years,” he said.

He added that, under current zoning bylaws, buildings up to 25 storeys tall could be built in the area, provided the developer demonstrates that it can accommodate parking, landscaping, sewage and other service requirements.

Quote:

The proposal comes amidst a sell-off by local landlords angered by recent changes to rental housing bylaws, and raises questions about whether the future of student housing in the city will be focused more on large-scale projects.

Just a note to the above project - that is an early conceptual massing rendering only.

LeftCoaster · #**2894** Posted **Jul 5, 2011, 3:43 PM**

Should be another Winnipeg office project getting announced some time this week. Nothing tall or particularily large, but it will form an initial phase of a much larger development. I'll share more info when I can.

Builtform posted some pics of new developments on the east shore of false creek in Vancouver. Nothing very tall but decent density should make this a great neighbourhood.

So far so good, and the densification of Yonge Street continues.

This project is situated on some prime real estate near the Parlement and it is respecting the City's height regulation for this specific street: 8-story. 82-luxury condos with retail space on the first floor.

Aw man. Dosen't look anything like the towers on the hoarding render that used to be near the sales centre. I thought we get a taller precast tower.

I don;t mind the right tower on the stilts but the left towers look boring.

Cool. Winnipeg is really intensifying nicely!

The first little tower is quite sophisticated.
