Canadian City Proposals II

[Metro-One]

A handsome revision to a proposal in Kelowna next to the UBC tower:

This has dropped their parking requirements significantly and the project now will only contain a 3 storey podium instead of the standard 4. Additionally, the size of floor plate has been reduced to 700m2. This will be one of the skinniest towers in Kelowna.

^ That's actually really cool. I'd almost call it neo-Modernist. It has the uniform grid design seen in many international style buildings, and while it has a decorative facade pattern not typical of Modernism, it's much more subtle than on something like The Grid Condominiums on Jarvis.

[WhipperSnapper]

Yeah, it's a Grid clone right down to the spandrel design. Another oversized solid podium for Kelowna too. No wonder everyone is excited by Kelowna's skyline as there's nothing these developments are accomplishing at street level.

They dumped the townhouse component and a settlement offer appears to be on the table.

I like it. I haven't seen much from Streetcar in a while.

I don't normally post in the Canada section but I'm shocked this unique project hasn't had any discussion in the Atlantic forum.

STANFIELD'S PROJECT, TRURO

Town of Truro Development Application Information (PDF)

Development Agreement Application by Lindsay Construction/Fathom Studios on behalf of Stanfields Ltd to permit Mixed-use/phased development consisting of 523 dwelling units and 55,600 ft2 (5,165 m2) of office/commercial space in 7 buildings, including newly constructed buildings and renovated/repurposed industrial buildings. The proposal also includes approximately 6,350 m2 (68,350 ft2) of publicly accessible space along the Salmon River

What makes this unique is Stanfield's will continue to operate at the site in a new factory accessed via Lorne Street. The existing factory buildings will be reused and built on top up to 11-storeys. 500+ units is massive considering that Truro is Nova Scotia's third largest population centre (45'000 CA / 12'000 town).

^Thanks for posting. I’m not from the Maritimes but it seems that anything built on the road between Halifax and Moncton is a bit of a safe bet.

[J.OT13]

Over 2000 units approved by Ottawa Planning Committee today.

3030 St. Joseph Blvd in Orleans, 18 floors on the east end suburb's old main street. It would be the first tower in Orleans outside of Petrie's Landing on the River, along the highway. A little over 500 meters as the crow flies from the nearest O-Train Station (2025).

10, 20 Empress, 4 floors of affordable units replacing early 20th Century row houses. A short walk to the new Central Library (2026) and Pimisi Station.

70, 80 Woodridge, 37 and 40 floors, a few steps from Bayshore O-Train (2027) and Bayshore Shopping Centre. I believe it will also have a decent affordable housing component, along with a large new park.

Almost a value engineered sister project to a now defunct one in Edmonton.

These are strikingly similar. I agree, Edmonton did it better (or I guess would have done it better).

Do you have more info on that one? News article with details, location, architect (see if it's the same)?

Too bad 567 Sheppard won't block the appalling NY Towers, the tackiest buildings in Toronto, if not the country.

[J.OT13]

267 O'Connor St, Ottawa in Centretown. These 28 and 30 floor towers will contain 541 residential units and a sort of urban semi-indoor agora.

uOttawa projects are frustratingly mundane compared to this.

Those towers on that podium is egregious.
