It's been submited officially to the City council tonight at 61 floors and 197m !!

Yep it will be going for approval for 197m.

Sales will determine how high it ends up going, but of course Cadillac was going to get it approved for as high as possible then build to demand.

Lets just hope the demand is high enough to justify going to the full height.

Secondary Plan Application Filed for Buttonville Development

Quote:

TORONTO – October 7, 2011 – The Cadillac Fairview Corporation Limited and Armadale Properties Limited are pleased to announce the submission of the Secondary Plan Application for the redevelopment of the Buttonville airport to the Town of Markham today, marking the latest step towards the redevelopment of the site.

Quote:

The application outlines the transformation of the area into a major office complex and employment destination, along with retail, entertainment, recreation and service offerings, based on a mixed-use strategy seeking to attract businesses and jobs. The planning provides for a neighbourhood approach, designed to be vibrant, compact, walkable and sustainable, and able to accommodate large and small businesses and residents in a setting unlike any other in North America.

This development will accommodate 24,000 jobs and 4,000 homes, contributing directly to the market potential of this development

It would be an interesting comparison side by side with Buttonville and Edmonton's planned 30,000 person community on its downtown airport.

Of note re: Buttonville this is about a 20 year buildout.

It is still very much in its infancy from a design standpoint. About the only things expected to stay relatively intact through the planning phases are the total square footage and the lake.

Union Tower (Montreal2025.com) 36 floors

Rico Rommheim · #**3609** Posted **Oct 12, 2011, 9:40 PM**

Wow! Tall and sleek, in an obscure part of downtown...couldn't ask for more!

I was walking past this lot this summer and thought it was a shame there was nothing there..not anymore! wazooo!

Design-wise, not too impressed, but let's hope that changes!

cjbs1 · #**3610** Posted **Oct 12, 2011, 10:03 PM**

Montreal is really booming with proposals.

The proposals here on Skyscraperpage are only a small party of everything going on right now.

There are a tons of solid proposals from serious investors ( FTQ, Canderel, Sidev, etc.) who don't even have renders.

It was just a matter of time until we get our share of projects!

More filler for Ottawa. I think the mid-rise, Euro scale works perfectly in Ottawa.

Where is this project located? Can you provide a link to a map?

Rico Rommheim · #**3614** Posted **Oct 13, 2011, 12:44 AM**

^ yes I know exactly where it is. I could point it out on google map..but alas I don't know how to do that on a forum.

Dylan Leblanc · #**3615** Posted **Oct 13, 2011, 12:47 AM**

Center the map on the spot then use the link button at the top right of the map web page.

Rico Rommheim · #**3616** Posted **Oct 13, 2011, 12:50 AM**

Got it. Union street between cathcart and Rene-Levesque. That tiny parking lot in the shadow.

That's right. Practically next to each other. Good density going on in downtown. Great stuff. There's now a supposed rumour of an Altitude phase 3, probably on Union. I know nothing more.

Bah, couldn't they make it 200 instead? Adding 3 meters shouldn't be that hard.
