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.
Thank you for sharing that in a respectful way unlike so many of the commenters below. I agree, 1000 de la Gauchetière is a much prettier building and very iconic as well. Cheers!
@@alainouellet7794 thanks for the constructive criticism, again Montrealers accept, understand and see the beauty of that decision. Otherwise we would have skyscrapers hiding the nature preserve that Mont -Royal is. I would not want to come from the south shore of the Saint-Lawrence river and see skyscrapers that hide the beauty of our mountain. It’s a 10 square kilometre heritage site, almost 4 square miles.
@@alainouellet7794 It's not. We want our city to preserve this aesthetic and to not look like a concrete jungle. Mont-Royal is the heart and soul of Montréal.
I live in a suburb of Edmonton and see the Stantec tower every day! I knew it was big, but I didn’t that Alberta was in second for tallest buildings in Canada! Great informative video!
It's taller than the tallest building in Calgary by around three meters I think. Edmonton thought it was some sort of competition for tallest building in Alberta.
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.
Thank you for the extra info and your experiences! :D I love comments like this and truly appreciate them! On a side note, hopefully Fenwick Tower can live up to it's potential. Also pretty FCP is a pretty cool building. Nice sleek design. :)
@@AJMSTUDIOSvideo Another fun fact about First Canadian- it’s architect, Edward Durell Stone wasn’t licensed to practice in Ontario, so his office had to partner up with a local architect- Bregman and Hammann. That same firm also partnered up with Mies van der Rohe when he got the commission for the Toronto Dominion Center. 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.
@@AJMSTUDIOSvideo They also recently applied to raise the height to 338 m (1110 feet) and a total count of 94 floors. There are numerous other projects progressing for supertall skyscrapers across Toronto, from the Mirvish Towers to Pinnacle One Yonge, but this would keep it above them all, if it gets approved. urbantoronto.ca/news/2021/01/canadas-first-supertall-one-shooting-be-supertaller

Atlantic Canada includes Nova Scotia so when you say the tallest building in Atlantic Canada it should be the one in Halifax not the one in New Brunswick.
It used to be called the IBM marathon tower. Now its just named the 1250 René Levesque, which is its address. Most buildings in Montreal are named by their address. The second tallest building is named Le 1000 de la Gauchetière, which is again, its address.
I was watching this video and I thought you had a ton of subscribers for this production quality and I was astounded to see it only has 1.3k you deserve more subs
My favourite building in Canada is the Commerce Court North Tower. It’s an Art Deco building built in 1931 in Toronto. It was the tallest building in the British Commonwealth until 1962. Sometimes when I walk by it, I can’t help but admire its grandiose. It’s lobby is a sight to behold also.
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.
Thank you for the civil response and explaining this better to me. I have so many angry comments on this and you explained it so nicely. I really appreciate it. Cheers!
Great overview, keep up the fantastic work, appreciated the small asides in each province including the architectures of interesting building sin Nunavut!
I really appreciate the comment. Thanks so much. So many videos just show pictures and show basic text, I figured it would be fun to give a little history for each. :) Glad you enjoyed it.
I've always wanted to visit Canada. I'm Australian, and everyone here loves Canada. You're like our cold weather brothers. I always laugh when Canadians say their money was the first to use polymer since we've been using that since when I was a small kid (I'm 35 now) and we're already onto our second generation of it. Anyway, I digress. I'd love to visit the Great White North one day. Apparently Vancouver has the fourth highest diaspora of Australians than other city on Earth, just behind London, Auckland, and Los Angeles.
Thank you for watching. :) There are a lot of beautiful cities. Both Canada and the US are so diverse and it's quite astounding when you get there. I've been along Australia's eastern coast. Beautiful country! Beautiful people. Would love to visit Perth and Tasmania someday.
Great video, definitely have to check the channel out now. Also, I would be interested in a more detailed video of the unique structures you mentioned in Nunavut.
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).
Only part of University St was named after Bourassa; below Sherbrooke St. By the way, it's something I don't like, as well as the changing of Dorchester to RLB.
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. archive.macleans.ca/article/1987/11/30/commemorated-by-controversy They also renamed Vimy Park in honour of Jacques Parizeau. Another separatist leader. www.ctvnews.ca/canada/an-insult-vimy-park-to-be-renamed-for-separatist-premier-parizeau-1.2949317
Je ne sais pas où vous trouverez votre info, mais Robert Bourassa n'était certainement le fondateur du Bloc québécois, c'était Lucien Bouchard. Bou-chard/ Bou-rassa. Mais bon, au moins vous vous êtes abstenu de déchaîner votre haine pour les Francophones du pays qui sont visiblement tous séparatistes à vos yeux.

I watched this in anticipation as you got to New Brunswick to see if you had actually done your research, and you did! Thank you for including Brunswick Square in my hometown of Saint John!
@@AJMSTUDIOSvideo most of the build was in summer under the midnight sun. I actually started as a labourer in spring and when the the crane was raised, I was given the opportunity to be the operator. 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.
@@mrplow3874 Thanks for sharing! The Midnight Sun is a weird feeling, especially if you are new to it. It can be surprising to look at your watch and realize it is 10 at night or midnight! Haha! Those are neat experiences and thanks for that extra info about that space that goes up the entire building. Interesting.
Fun fact: Mah's Point in Whitehorse is actually tied with another four story building for the tallest I think. 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.
@@AJMSTUDIOSvideo I think they will. There's quite a few buildings going up where developers seem to taking advantage of the increased height allowed. I remember seeing that Mah's Point 2 one on the retailor websites, but it got hit by the pandemic I think. At upwards of 700k, units where also being offered for an insane amount, even for Whitehorse which is a pretty expensive small city to buy in.
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!
Mirvish n Ghery was nixed to 301 M and 2?? M tall...I really have my doubts the building by Yorkville will really get a height increase, they were approved at that height for a reason.
Thanks! I was working on a Maryland video earlier in the year actually. I stopped because no one was watching my videos, lol. I might have to start working on it again. ;-)
Thank you for sharing. I wished there were more photos of cities from that time period. I bet looking back it's pretty amazing seeing how much the city has transformed.
I was literally wondering what the tallest building in Canada was, as I already knew that the CN Tower isn’t technically a building, just like the KVLY tower isn’t the tallest in the US. All I could find was the CN Tower though. Thanks for the vid!
I liked the video, nice to see some info about Canada, thank you...one additional note for the info you noted in your vid: On August 31, 2020, the building (The One in Toronto) was issued a ...permit by the City of Toronto, allowing for above-grade construction of the building to begin. Work on the second floor began in December 2020...
@@davidbrown3971 Until 2013 there was a restriction of 150m for maximum height of a building in Edmonton, due to the presence of the City Centre Airport directly north of the downtown area. The airport closed in 2012, and the limit was removed after that.
I love architecture info and this video was awesome in it's completeness and uniqueness. It's nice to here about cities other than the big three. I was always amazed by the skyline in Yellowknife. Who'd a thought. Love to see a video on all the cities in Ontario.
I am really glad you enjoyed it. I'm not sure how much more Canadian content I will do as I have been thoroughly roasted by my friendly Canadian's. American's have been much nicer on me. I would love to do more videos like this, but I am a little apprehensive now. I am super happy you love it though and I think Yellowknife's skyline is so cool! It's like a mini big city. :)
The 1250 René-Lévesque is not named in his honour. It's the name of the street : Boulevard René-Lévesque. So get the facts straight please. I never heard any controversy about that building and I work next door.
@@KSGvideo true and false, in his video he mention that you include the spire or antenna. The 1000 de la Gauchetière is 205m with 51 stories but the IBM is 230,4m with the Spire but 47 story and the roof is at 199m
Halifax has a new tallest building, a 33 story upscale apartment building at head of the North West Arm. Halifax has also upped the height limit to 40 stories in several parts of the city and there a number 40 story buildings underway or in planning.

@@Sjxhdhd2 Lucky! Truly a beautiful building in a city with a lot of beautiful buildings. I am currently working on a video right now with Quebec City in it. Cheers! Stay warm this winter.
Since you did put an antenna in there, what about Flin Flon's Smoke standing around 253.5 meters or 825 feet for Manitoba. That's double the height of any building in Winnipeg.
Yep. It's tall. As said in the beginning of the video and in the title though, this is only for buildings. Not structures. If this list was of the tallest structures by province, pretty much every single building would be overtaken by an antenna or smokestack in the eastern provinces. It would be a much more boring vid. ;D Haha!

The Canso Strait Transmission Towers spanning between Port Hasten's, Cape Breton and Auld's Cove, NS are 180M tall. 2 new structure were completed in 2017 as part of the Maritime Link project. They are apparently the tallest transmission towers in Canada.
If you state you are count antennas on top of a building, then a communications tower counts as the tallest building. It's either you include every structure, or you only count the height up to the human usable space. Which would count all the floor space but then an antenna doesn't count towards the height.
Thanks for the response. When officials count buildings, they usually include the antenna height. Emporis does so I use them for statistics as well. Communications towers are considered "structures" and not "buildings" in this field of conversation, which is why communications towers are not included. Plus it would be pretty boring to see so many provinces winners would be a thin steel antenna in the sky.
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.
Really wish Calgary had gotten an honorable mention for Alberta. It may be true that Edmonton took the record for tallest building in Alberta. But literally like the next 5 tallest are all in Calgary.
@@Tony-og4oz Stantec is not the 2nd tallest in Canada. It's the tallest in Canada outside of Toronto. It's currently the 7th tallest completed building in Canada. The first 6 are in Toronto.
You should talk about the « Phare » which will be the tallest building in Quebec and the second in Canada it will be located in Quebec City the capital of Quebec province
I don't know anything about this building. I did a few searches just now. Is it the same building that has according to some sources been cancelled? It was a proposal back in 2018 and sometime in 2021 according to some sources, it was cancelled. Their official website no longer works either, but I did find this. Is this what you are referring to? www.skyscrapercenter.com/complex/1545
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 are many reasons such as sight-lines, airport restrictions, and simply the city codes haven't been updated. Up until recently, there hasn't been much demand to go up in Canada because there is still so much room to grow. But urbanism is changing and so will the city skylines when the economy gets better. :)
@@AJMSTUDIOSvideo Yep. In Chinese 4 is basically read as 4 regardless of which digit it is on. For instance, 40 is literally read as "four tens" (instead of another specific word, like "forty" compared to "four", or like "quarante" compared to "quatre" in French). Thus whenever there's a 4 the number is avoided. You may find 15th floor above the 12th, or 50th above the 39th in some cases.
Background fact about Prince Edward Island: geologically, it is an oversized sandbar, so the ground cannot support a true high rise building as it would sink
In case no-one else has pointed it out in the comments, the reason that building in Vancouver is missing its 4th floor is because Vancouver has a huge Chinese community, and the number 4 is considered a cursed number for them the same way 13 is in the West, because it's pronounced similarly to the word "death".
In newly constructed buildings in Vancouver there is no 4th, 13th, 14th and 24th floor but the number 8th, 18th, and 28th are charged double the price due to Chinese superstition. And in residential buildings the 4th unit is skipped.
I know it's not a building but you didn't even mention the smoke stack in Sudbury with a height of 1250 ft., the tallest structure in Canada until the CN tower was built.
@@sonnyblack0870 Sudbury has a population of 160,000, so not in the middle of nowhere. Sadly the smoke stack is scheduled to be demolished because it's no longer used due to environmental and pollution cutting efforts by the company.
@@FrankCrispo Ya I dont mean any offense but most would consider a small city far from a major city the middle of nowhere. Everyone’s heard of New York City is my point, I doubt anyone not personally familiar with the province of Ontario Canada would have ever heard of Sudbury or that smokestack.
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!
Excellent video thank you. Liked & Subbed! Also just as an update The One in Toronto is currently speeding along under construction now with all financials & permit issues having been sorted out. Construction is moving along fast now. Also The One is no longer the tallest in Canada because Sky Tower (old name of Pinnacle One Yonge) also now under construction in Toronto will be 313.4 meters (1028 ft). And the long dormant Mirvish + Gehry project in Toronto is finally gaining traction again and will be 329m (1079 ft) if eventually it gets under construction. Actually Toronto is going so rapidly and new proposals coming so fast it would be cool for you to do a top 20 tallest of Toronto only and include built, under construction and proposed! Happy New Year!

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.
Thank you for the civil response and explaining this better to me. I have so many angry comments on this and you explained it so nicely. I really appreciate it. Cheers!

Great overview, keep up the fantastic work, appreciated the small asides in each province including the architectures of interesting building sin Nunavut!
I really appreciate the comment. Thanks so much. So many videos just show pictures and show basic text, I figured it would be fun to give a little history for each. :) Glad you enjoyed it.
I've always wanted to visit Canada. I'm Australian, and everyone here loves Canada. You're like our cold weather brothers. I always laugh when Canadians say their money was the first to use polymer since we've been using that since when I was a small kid (I'm 35 now) and we're already onto our second generation of it. Anyway, I digress. I'd love to visit the Great White North one day. Apparently Vancouver has the fourth highest diaspora of Australians than other city on Earth, just behind London, Auckland, and Los Angeles.
Thank you for watching. :) There are a lot of beautiful cities. Both Canada and the US are so diverse and it's quite astounding when you get there. I've been along Australia's eastern coast. Beautiful country! Beautiful people. Would love to visit Perth and Tasmania someday.
When I lived in Whistler, Jan 26 was a riot.
I’ve always wanted to go to Australia as well and I’m Canadian, we also love Australia here in Canada :)
You’re welcome anytime!

Great video, definitely have to check the channel out now. Also, I would be interested in a more detailed video of the unique structures you mentioned in Nunavut.
Thank you! I will add that to my list of things to start researching!
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).
Thanks!
Only part of University St was named after Bourassa; below Sherbrooke St. By the way, it's something I don't like, as well as the changing of Dorchester to RLB.
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.

They also renamed Vimy Park in honour of Jacques Parizeau. Another separatist leader.

I was the crane operator for The Yukon’s tallest building. Great company built it.
Hey thanks for responding and sharing that. Any other insight? How was it building in such a unique region (climate, sunlight/or lack thereof).
@@AJMSTUDIOSvideo most of the build was in summer under the midnight sun. I actually started as a labourer in spring and when the the crane was raised, I was given the opportunity to be the operator.
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.
@@mrplow3874 Thanks for sharing! The Midnight Sun is a weird feeling, especially if you are new to it. It can be surprising to look at your watch and realize it is 10 at night or midnight! Haha!
Those are neat experiences and thanks for that extra info about that space that goes up the entire building. Interesting.
@@AJMSTUDIOSvideo no problem! I love the midnight sun. Right now tho we have around 4.5 hours of sun. It gets tiring lol.
Fun fact: Mah's Point in Whitehorse is actually tied with another four story building for the tallest I think. 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.
I wonder if anyone will ever reach the new limit? :D Thanks for sharing.
@@AJMSTUDIOSvideo I think they will. There's quite a few buildings going up where developers seem to taking advantage of the increased height allowed. I remember seeing that Mah's Point 2 one on the retailor websites, but it got hit by the pandemic I think. At upwards of 700k, units where also being offered for an insane amount, even for Whitehorse which is a pretty expensive small city to buy in.
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!
Thank you for all the info! :D Also thank you for the kind words! Lot's of exciting buildings coming up which might be in a new video someday. :D
Mirvish n Ghery was nixed to 301 M and 2?? M tall...I really have my doubts the building by Yorkville will really get a height increase, they were approved at that height for a reason.

The Northern Heights building in Yellowknife was built in 1996. It was built while I lived there, and I moved there in 1990.
I appreciate the confirmation! I must ask (you don't have to answer) but how do/did you like living in Yellowknife? :)
You can see that Stantec tower from a long ways away when driving down the Yellowhead highway from Jasper national park to Edmonton
That is so cool!
That's because all the other buildings are so short. Kinda looks ridiculous.
@@davidbrown3971 Until 2013 there was a restriction of 150m for maximum height of a building in Edmonton, due to the presence of the City Centre Airport directly north of the downtown area. The airport closed in 2012, and the limit was removed after that.
I believe Whitehorse has a new tallest, went recently & they had like a 7-8 story
I will have to look in on that. Got a friend driving through from Alaska in a few weeks I can ask as well! Thank you!

Since you did put an antenna in there, what about Flin Flon's Smoke standing around 253.5 meters or 825 feet for Manitoba. That's double the height of any building in Winnipeg.
Yep. It's tall. As said in the beginning of the video and in the title though, this is only for buildings. Not structures. If this list was of the tallest structures by province, pretty much every single building would be overtaken by an antenna or smokestack in the eastern provinces.

The Canso Strait Transmission Towers spanning between Port Hasten's, Cape Breton and Auld's Cove, NS are 180M tall. 2 new structure were completed in 2017 as part of the Maritime Link project. They are apparently the tallest transmission towers in Canada.
Thanks! Maybe I should make a video on transmission towers.... actually... probably no one would watch that. :( Thanks again! :)
If you state you are count antennas on top of a building, then a communications tower counts as the tallest building. It's either you include every structure, or you only count the height up to the human usable space. Which would count all the floor space but then an antenna doesn't count towards the height.
Thanks for the response. When officials count buildings, they usually include the antenna height. Emporis does so I use them for statistics as well. Communications towers are considered "structures" and not "buildings" in this field of conversation, which is why communications towers are not included. Plus it would be pretty boring to see so many provinces winners would be a thin steel antenna in the sky.
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.

I don't know anything about this building. I did a few searches just now. Is it the same building that has according to some sources been cancelled? It was a proposal back in 2018 and sometime in 2021 according to some sources, it was cancelled. Their official website no longer works either, but I did find this. Is this what you are referring to? www.skyscrapercenter.com/complex/1545
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! 😉
Why do they limit height for Canada's skyscrapers?
There are many reasons such as sight-lines, airport restrictions, and simply the city codes haven't been updated. Up until recently, there hasn't been much demand to go up in Canada because there is still so much room to grow. But urbanism is changing and so will the city skylines when the economy gets better. :)
4 is bad luck in Chinese that's why the one in BC has no 4th floor .
Thank you very much! I did not know that.
4 in Chinese is pronounced the same way as for death. Thus bad luck.
Yep I guess it’s a common practice in Hong Kong to skip floor numbers like 4, 14, 24, 34, 40-49, etc. alongside of 13.
@@caesarzhang1778 Wow. So every number that has '4' in it. That is actually quite interesting.
@@AJMSTUDIOSvideo Yep. In Chinese 4 is basically read as 4 regardless of which digit it is on. For instance, 40 is literally read as "four tens" (instead of another specific word, like "forty" compared to "four", or like "quarante" compared to "quatre" in French). Thus whenever there's a 4 the number is avoided. You may find 15th floor above the 12th, or 50th above the 39th in some cases.
Background fact about Prince Edward Island: geologically, it is an oversized sandbar, so the ground cannot support a true high rise building as it would sink
Was looking at the list for BC, and realized I might get the chance to work on one of the next tallest buildings, which is honestly pretty sweet.
That is super cool! Good luck and imagine the beautiful views!
Well done!
Thank you.
Canada is very butiful city and rich city, nice location.
In case no-one else has pointed it out in the comments, the reason that building in Vancouver is missing its 4th floor is because Vancouver has a huge Chinese community, and the number 4 is considered a cursed number for them the same way 13 is in the West, because it's pronounced similarly to the word "death".
Thanks for the intel. :)
I think that there is no 4th floor in the Vancouver building because 4 is bad luck in China and there are many people from China in Vancouver.
In newly constructed buildings in Vancouver there is no 4th, 13th, 14th and 24th floor but the number 8th, 18th, and 28th are charged double the price due to Chinese superstition.
And in residential buildings the 4th unit is skipped.
Funny how the tallest building in Toronto is a Bank of Montreal tower.

@@sonnyblack0870 Sudbury has a population of 160,000, so not in the middle of nowhere. Sadly the smoke stack is scheduled to be demolished because it's no longer used due to environmental and pollution cutting efforts by the company.

UA-cam brought me here in 2021.
Welcome! Hope you enjoy the stay.
The interesting thing that stood out the most was that most of these buildings were built in the 70s or 80s, why is that?
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!
Calgary has a height restriction so the sun can melt the ice on the river.
Is that true? I've never heard that before, and if so, that's pretty cool!
Excellent video thank you. Liked & Subbed! Also just as an update The One in Toronto is currently speeding along under construction now with all financials & permit issues having been sorted out. Construction is moving along fast now. Also The One is no longer the tallest in Canada because Sky Tower (old name of Pinnacle One Yonge) also now under construction in Toronto will be 313.4 meters (1028 ft). And the long dormant Mirvish + Gehry project in Toronto is finally gaining traction again and will be 329m (1079 ft) if eventually it gets under construction. Actually Toronto is going so rapidly and new proposals coming so fast it would be cool for you to do a top 20 tallest of Toronto only and include built, under construction and proposed! Happy New Year!
Hey thank you very much! There will indeed have to be updates in future videos! Thanks for the kindness and happy new year.
