Does this make any sense they are working on the 34 floor already View attachment 548829

You can see in the picture how it compares to the nearby 15 storey building, which was the tallest in this area for several decades.

Also lets recall this site that only had a two storey building for even more decades, now has one that is at 34 and counting.

I think it does @Glenco because, based on renderings, the crown of the building in itself is a 3-storey space, adding significantly to the overall height of the building and oomph to the architectural expression from a skyline viewpoint.

Is that all mechanical in that volume of space? Pity there is not a running track around the perimeter up there given the glazing.

I am not sure what is planned for the roof element -- certainly some of it will be mechanical space.

Wonder if given the rise of WFH we'll ever see any running track type amenities in buildings here. Be sure nice all winter to get some good steps in without having to leave your building.

I heard years ago that Harley Court (before it was concerted to e11even) had a top floor running track. Not sure if that's actually true or not.

How is the final height measured and by who? The final as built drawings will state a measurement - but is there any other method used?

I mean you didn't hear this from Ol' Steve-O but I'm sure if you were curious you could get some empirical measurements using a drone.

Or just email their sales peeps and ask.

how many more floors till this tops out?

 

[northlands]

Think it might be topped out. Looks like they’re working on a mechanical suite rather than another full floor slab

That thing's as tall as my erection for it --- I mean, woah, that's some insane height for the area!

 

[The_Cat]

I think of the CN Tower and Calgary Tower being the only tall structures in the area when they were first built. I'm thinking that this could attract other development.

 

[Clearshades]

According the news, roughly 100k residence are to migrate into the city in the next 3 years, so I can see that plausibility quite favourably. If developers can strategize a tactic to pull some of that median into the market, that could add quite a few towers.

IMO there's 99% chance this "dip" between downtown and Wihwentowin will explode in the next decade with Warehouse Park coming in and this project!
