    As a Montrealer, most of us recognize the 1000 de la Gauchetière as the tallest building in Quebec. The 1250 Réné-Levesque is only the “tallest” because of the spire on its top. The spire is very tall and it’s too narrow for anyone to be inside. It’s just an antenna. The building itself may appear taller in some pictures but this is due to the angle of the camera and the fact that the 1000 de la Gauchetière is built lower down on the hill surrounding Mont Royale.

    Fenwick Tower is an interesting one- It was originally intended as a luxury residence, but the developer ran out of money, so Dalhousie University took it over and turned it into a student residence. Students are not known for being kind to their residence buildings, and universities usually don't sink a lot of money into making their residences pretty. So that's why Fenwick Tower got such a bad reputation for many years, but they're currently trying to fix that.
    As for First Canadian Place, I love that skyscraper, when I lived in Toronto I spent a lot of time downtown, and being around it always made me feel better. Those rooftop antennae give it some character too, they're more interesting than just a flat roof.

      Fenwick Tower also battled years of bad PR because of lousy student behaviour- among other offences, it wasn’t uncommon for students to throw objects large and small from balconies many stories up, and it got so bad that the university had to implement a zero tolerance policy- get caught throwing ANYTHING and you’re out.

    Actually the name of the highest building in Québec isn't controversial; the street's name is though. Its name actually is the 1250 Renée Lévesque because the building is situated on the 1250, Renée Lévesque blvd. The name of the building is simply from its address. The name of the street is somewhat controversial though. It was previously called Dorchester Boulevard up until 1987, the year of Lévesque's death, when it was renamed to celebrate his heritage as a previous and impactful Québec Premier. But the independent, enclaved, and mostly english speaking (and very rich) municipality of Westmount just near downtown had none of it and decided to keep the previous street's name as an act of disagreement and protest. Typical Québec drama.

  • @agnarip
    @agnarip 3 года назад +12

    The name of the building in Montreal has nothing to do with René Lévesque. It just happens that it's address is on René-Lévesque boulevard (1250 West René-Lévesque). In fact, the original name of the building was the IBM-Marathon Tower. No controversy here.
    As for the name of the street, it was renamed in 1987, from Dorchester to René-Lévesque after the passing of the former Québec Prime Minister. No controversy here either as is much more relevant to to name an important street after an important characacter in history a than the obscure Dorchester. An By the way, the same has been done after the death of Robert Bourassa, also a former Prome minister of importance in History, and political opponant of Lévesque. (In his case, University street was renamed after him).

      It is on René-Lévesque boulevard, but that doesn't mean that they had to name the building that as there are many buildings in Montreal not named after the address. Robert Bourassa may have been a political opponent of Lévesque, but he also started a separatist party, the federal Bloc Québécois.
      To say that it's no controversy is just your opinion. Many people were against both of those renaming's.

Whitehorse did only allow buildings up to twenty metres and four stories tall for a while to maintain the city's aesthetics, but very few four story buildings actually reached that height. So the city took out the floor limit to create more density. There are some specific areas in town zoned for twenty five metre tall buildings to go in like you said, but so far nothing has been built to that height yet.

    This was an excellent video! Just as a heads up, the skytower known as pinnacle one yonge went under construction recently, and is supposed the be the
    tallest building in Toronto at 313 meteres and 95 floors. The One has also restarted construction and is going quite fast actually. I think they are already at their 3rd or 4th floor in just a few weeks. Today, the developers also announced that they want to increase the height of The One to over 338 meters (1108.92 ft) and 94 floors. If approved by the city, it will be the tallest in Toronto. In addition, other buildings such as Mirvish and Gehry (329 meters and 91 floors) are also in the proposed stage. Two more right beside it at 301 meters and 310 meteres are also proposed as well as a 324 meter superthin skyscraper beside The One. Right now, it is hard to tell which will become tallest first as construction and new proposals are coming in so fast so we will have to wait and see. I think all this development is great though!

      What most interested me about the build, was that every wall was built offsite, trucked in, then lifted with the crane and set in place. I know this is common in other city’s but not here. This was the first build to utilize a tower crane in The Yukon.
      Fun fact. There is a hollow spot in the building, on the west side of the elevator. The space is about 10’x5’ and is as tall as the building itself.

      Yes! First off, thank you for watching the video. Canada's biggest building booms were during parts of the 1970s, and 80s. The 1970's was significant because it was a major era of 'modernization' for Canada. It was during this period the country began developing for the future, urbanizing, and growing upward. Some parts of Canada are booming right now, but growth isn't to the level it was in the past when it was occurring all over the country, instead of isolated areas. Great question!

    The CN Tower does have an outter-ring revolving restaurant, as does Calgary Tower. In the nighttime you can see the lights from Rochester. One word of caution, the bathrooms are situated in the stationary central area, which means you have to look for your table as the outter-ring slowly revolves. In itself, this is not a arduous task. However, in 2007 my boss, at the time, took 3 of us out to dinner. We stayed for quite a long time to continue our 'business talk.' We ended the night closing the restaurant with a bill of $1,950, covered by our company. As the night progressed it become more and more difficult in finding the table after each bathroom break. It must have been all that 'food' we ate, I guess! 😉

    There's a fairly new residential building on the corner of Preston and Carling in, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Check it out, its tall. I can almost see it from my house and my house is a few miles away.
