Seems like a lot of seating at that Laval pool. Are they planning/hoping for some major competitions?

A pile of multi-tower developments coming down the pipeline in Vancouver's suburbs:

Port Moody - Flavelle Mill redevelopment
-11 towers ranging from 16 to 38-storeys in height


http://www.vancouvermarket.ca/2017/01/17/ambitious-plans-envisioned-for-31-acre-flavelle-mill-site/

Richmond Centre to lose all of its surface parking for towers - more to come. This is already the most easy-to-walk-to suburban mall anywhere, as the parking coverage isn't substantial enough to really separate it from the surrounding commercial fabric.

Lansdowne Mall Redevelopment - also in Richmond:

International Trade Centre - also in Richmond
-Phase 1 is a few floors above grade u/c now, and includes office tower

Construction started on this rental on De Bleury, between Sherbrooke and President-Kennedy. The tower integrates a three store greystone heritage building.





The tower will add even more density to this little cluster...

What an ugly mish mash of a knock off of Aqua.

/\ It's no masterpiece, but it looks surprisingly not too bad in person.

I don't actually like the Peterson as a unit. It's a poor-man's Aqua. But I guess it works in the larger scheme of things. Considering its location, I consider it a filler, despite it's prominent height.

And good news for that bleury 25-storey highrise.

Aqua has it's own shortcomings. The way it meets the street is awful.

That could be said for most new highrises in Chicago really.

It's a slice of Montreal that I don't like very much. It has this odd and unfriendly feeling.

Another project started construction this week, this time in Griffintown. It's the second phase of a complex of which the podium with retail is already open. The first phase (the tower on the left) is already occupied.

We like partial night time renderings in Edmonton so we won't know how crappy the project will look until it's complete!

Let's hope there is no clock at the top of it.
