I remember that area from the one time I was there. Their downtown has a big city feel to it and it is great for pedestrian. Victoria should be a model for other downtowns of a city that size.
On another note, are they replacing the blue bridge.
The district of Montcalm where I live is a part of Québec city Skyline (West part)
You can see the city's highest on the extreme left : L'Édifice Marie-Guyart , 126.5 meters, already on a 100 meters hill.

Those little 3-4 storey apartment thingies that Quebec and some parts of Ottawa seem to love bother me for some reason. I don't know why, but they just look wrong.
Or the walkups more common in the other parts of Ontario which have a lot more units. Apartments with 1 or 2 units a floor just seem awkward to me, and then those Quebec buildings seem to short to have flat roof too. I'm weird, I know.
That's Southcott Hall. It was built in 1964 and is 15 floors (13 + a 2-floor penthouse). It appears to be our 9th-tallest modern building according to SSP. It's actually a 2.3 km drive from 351, the building in the foreground of that shot, and faces Quidi Vidi Lake, not St. John's Habour. Its base is at a higher elevation than those along Harbour Drive in the foreground so it looks taller.

Thanks! I just checked out the St-John's diagrams. What's the status for those proposed twin residential towers? Tiffany Estates. Any movement there?
They're approved but that's the last I've heard. It's part of a development that's already half-finished and has been very successful, though, so I imagine they'll go ahead. There's an angle on the Southside Hills from which they will be visible and with a zoom lens it'll look like they're right downtown too, same as Southcott.
Any idea how to get the diagram to show non-towers? It used to show all the churches, etc. St. Patrick's is the third-tallest building in the city to this day. So it's hard to rank an order without all of the heritage ones.

You can check all the boxes for all building types bellow the diagrams. I did it and it doesn't seem to show St-Patrick's, like there's no diagram for it.
