Canadian City Proposals

[Delirium]

here's a really neat infographic of sorts that shows confirmed and proposed towers in montreal, toronto, calgary & vancouver and who the lead tenant is, what floors are available and related commentary.

one thing that caught my eye was 45 Bay in toronto. looks like it's moving pretty fast. they say that if TD leases 400,000sq/ft, that could push the tower into construction.

List isn't complete. No Edmonton.

If TD needs that 400,000 it is very likely that one of the big 3 will be under construction or in site prep by next year.

265 meters?/238 meters?/290 meters? Which will it be?

Either one would make it the tallest office tower TO has built in over 20 years. I like each proposal in their own way. Obviously 45 Bay is epic and I secretly am vying for that one. 156 Front is bold and has lots of potential. Union Center has a nice design and could also turn out very well. So I will just be excited if TD takes any of those three.

It's not amazing, but considering how far it is from downtown it's better than I'd have expected.

Unless the City retains ownership of all that open space, I doubt any actual project on the site would bear much relation to that concept.

Will the preserved church front be put to any public use?

Looks like a restaurant patio.

That looks awesome! Great for Hamilton! 30 floors should bring it close to 100 meters!

I think at least one of the Connaught towers is planned to break 100m. It'll be exciting to see all those projects going.

Of all proposals flying out of Hamilton lately this is absolutely my favourite.

Great news out of Hamilton way to go

Love the Hamilton Proposal. More cities need to realize that historic preservation and progress can be done in harmony.

Meanwhile in Ottawa, Brad Lamb's revised project on Bronson (in the Escarpment District a few blocks west of the CBD).
