Canada's 10 Tallest U/C

[TorontoDrew]

Almost the tallest on the corner.

[caltrane74]

Yeah, almost.

Still 4 taller buildings in the neighborhood though, including 2 Bloor West (CIBC Building), Uptown Condo (160 meters), Manulife Centre (166 meters), and Four Seasons (205 meters)

[caltrane74]

And Five Condos too I suppose....

Well, really I was just counting those towers right on Bloor.

[TorontoDrew]

That's why I said just the corner.

Looks like it has passed the Hudson Bay Tower.

[Innsertnamehere]

I wonder how long until Hudsons Bay replaces its logo.. The old Bay logo is really rather ugly.

So we are gonna have more than 10 buildings, over 200 meters u/c soon. The funny thing is that while there are always 7 or 8 towers minimum u/c over 200 meters at any one time in this country at least over the past 8 years or so, the completions per year usually only number 1, 2 or 3.

I think this year we only have 2 completions over 200 meters.

Will be so nice when we get to 5-10 200 meter tower completions per year. For that to happen there will have to be 15 to 20 200 meter towers under construction at any one time.

[WhipperSnapper]

Will need 25 to 50 towers under construction at any given time to consistently post completions of 5 to 10 per year based on 5 years for construction.

2016 - nothing? Yikes....

Montreal had the head start in this game with 3 towers. Based on my understanding they have only added one more to that list since the 1960's.

2011/2012 - Ritz-Toronto, Shangrila-Toronto, Trump Toronto, The Bow, EAP 1. I don't remember the order of completion and I am forgetting one tower.

Messed up a little. Wasn't looking at the heights. The database included antennas. Montreal's only two came in 1992.

Fantastic info WhipperSnapper, really puts things into perspective.

Here is the diagram of what is being discussed:

I always thought PVM was over 200 meters. Guess I was wrong on that count then.

On the bright side I am look forward to having 12, 13 or even 14 towers +200 meters u/c at the same time across the country.

4 More years and Edmonton gets its first tower over 200 meters, and Canada has 4 cities with towers over 200 meters! ( with an honourable mention to Vancouver right at the level) could be 5. Crazy height and density is coming, we will not recognize our home cities 5 years from now.

2018 - Toronto will breach 20 towers over 200 meters! (21 to be exact)

Cool Fact - 2014-2018 Toronto will have built /completed an equal number of 200 meter towers to the preceeding 42 years inclusive from 1972 to 2013. (10 towers)
