Canada's 50 Tallest Proposals - Page 267

Metro-One · #**5321** Posted **Sep 19, 2012, 5:27 AM**

So according to an article in the province the tallest of the Station Square towers in Metrotown (Burnaby) is going to be 575 feet (175 meters). This is tower 3 or 4. The article kind of suggested that both towers 3 and 4 are going to be this height.

Also, rumour on the Vancouver subsection that Surrey's 3 Civic Plaza may be extended to 190 meters. But we will see how true this is.

I thought they were going to be 200m+ buildings?

Metro-One · #**5323** Posted **Sep 19, 2012, 6:03 AM**

Tallest tower is 57 floors, pure residential, so standard height really.

the potential 200 meter + towers are the potential 60 to 70 floor towers being proposed for the Brentwood Mall area in Burnaby.

They might revise it up, depending how sales go.

In this area, however I don't have much hope.

It doesn't seem to have lost any height, funny enough. If anything, the renders make it look slightly taller than before.

caltrane74 · #**5327** Posted **Sep 19, 2012, 11:26 AM**

True the renderings show it considerably taller than ICE 2, which is 235 meters.

So at a minimum it looks about 245 meters tall.

There would be be 2-4 floors of commercial / offices though on each of the 4 towers.

I made a new drawing of 10 York, http://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?cityID=12 and whichever editor changed the height, it has been set at an estimate of 232 metres.

Chadillaccc · #**5330** Posted **Sep 19, 2012, 6:56 PM**

Sweet drawing, but terrible about the height decrease

LeftCoaster · #**5331** Posted **Sep 19, 2012, 8:33 PM**

I'd prefer a better design and lower height.

Don't expect this thing to get revised back up. Sales are soft and not going to improve dramatically in the next 24 months.

caltrane74 · #**5332** Posted **Sep 19, 2012, 10:09 PM**

232 meters is not bad. From the street you can't tell the difference from 253 meters.

It was all about bragging rights anyways.

urbandreamer · #**5333** Posted **Sep 19, 2012, 10:40 PM**

Clearly Tridel listened to me when I told them to emphasize the flatiron shape of the lot--this was via twitter about 4 months ago.

I wonder if they can make the numbers work at 40s? Because I simply don't see demand for these investor-driven projects anymore.

caltrane74 · #**5334** Posted **Sep 20, 2012, 12:25 AM**

So long as people want to live downtown there will be the demand.

Innsertnamehere · #**5335** Posted **Sep 20, 2012, 2:08 AM**

The new renders show it looking at least 10m taller than the Ice towers, so this is going to be at least 245m

Edit, these hasn't been posted yet, from UT, but quoted from ssc

nice podium from that one small close-up, but shapeless mess of a tower

I see, thank you.

88 Scott is now at 60% Sales.

Dylan Leblanc · #**5339** Posted **Sep 26, 2012, 5:19 PM**

tell them I'll buy the remaining units if the tower reverts back to the original design :-|

Wow you're making more money off ssp than i suspected!
