Canadian City Proposals II - Page 27

Interesting part about this 350 units project is that the City, for the very first time, used a provision of the recently adopted Bill 31. This provision allows any city with more than 10,000 inhabitants and a vacancy rate below 3% to authorise residential projects considerably faster than what would normally be allowed under the Loi sur l’aménagement et l’urbanisme. The city estimates that using this provision will shorten the overall delivery date by about a year.

Not the most exiting building architecturally speaking but a good effort to reduce its carbon footprint with the use of geothermal heating. 24% of the lot will also be reseved for green spaces.

New concept for the northern part of Gladstone Village in Ottawa, a new community that will be built over a former Federal Government warehouse.

The concept includes a major expansion of the Plant Bath Recreation Centre, a new French Public Elementary School to replace the current undersized and outdated building nearly a kilometer away across the O-Train tracks, expanded greenspace, a district energy plant and hundreds of market and affordable units.

Earlier concepts had the school in Plouffe Park. The community would have lost the park for years before the new greenspace was to be developed. The City then tried a concept with the school under the residential development, but that presented logistical challenges.

Latest concept:

The Yards | 132.8m | 40s | TAS | Giannone Petricone l resubmission

Resubmitted taller with a possible shift to rental residential (would be great ‘cause it might be a shorter wait for a start ;-). 40, 32 and 12 storeys with retail and public space/park.

Dig the new renderings.

nobody wants to live in Brampton. Good luck with those.

It would be fairly easy to gauge the level of demand based on the prevailing unit prices. If no one wanted to live there the housing prices would be dirt cheap and no new construction would be proposed.

Brampton is by far the fastest growing part of the 905 right now.

The multi-res market in Brampton is still pretty small though. Most of the growth is in ground-related housing, but that is slowly changing.

People are desperate to live anywhere - even in a dystopian multi-tower development in a far-flung suburban industrial area with no higher-order transit service.

Could pack a whole lot of international students in those towers.

WhipperSnapper · #**532** Posted **Jun 3, 2024, 8:04 PM**

Long term prospects for the international student boom are as iffy as ever. Even Trudeau had to reverse course a bit.

Any case, Brampton has a ton of tall tower proposals. It should be building like VMC. I'm only aware of high rise development in the rapidly developing masterplanned development on the pheriphal near the western most Go station.

TACC is own by billionaires

Something for koops to draw.

just wonderful ...they'll be ruined in no time.

To be fair the left two towers in the first rendering are already under construction, and it is on the busiest bus route in the City which is planned for BRT. Its still not a great location, but there actually may be a market for it.

Never seen such nice towers from Perkins + Wills... love the designs.

Also posted in my construction update.

Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | Waterfront Toronto l u/c

Huge jump in heights (up to 46 storeys in the western portion) for the future community on Villiers Island with at least 9000 residential units of which 2,200 to 2,700 will be affordable units (depending on the final mix of unit sizes). Somebody better start a Go Fund Me page soon for the proposed LRT here (the bridge is there ;-).

Conceptual rendering below is a bit misleading as the development blocks are actually just 26 acres while the parkland is more than 50 acres (the big Promontory Park and playground is obscured by the buildings.
