When was maple leaf square built

Maple Leaf Square will create a bold and energetic 24 hour sports, entertainment and residential precinct in downtown Toronto. Situated between the Toronto Financial District to the north and Harbourfront to the south, and anchored by the adjacent Air Canada Centre, the new complex will consolidate this precinct into a vital sports and entertainment district in the city. The design integrates two slender residential towers with a mixed use podium comprising retail, entertainment, hotel, daycare and office space.

The podium, or base, is distinguished by a frit glass 'wrapper' floating above the retail base that carries large-scale signage visible from the Gardiner Expressway. The glass wraps continuously around the podium, interrupted only at the northwest and southeast by stone corners.

The roof of the podium will be landscaped into a series of courtyards and terraces for hotel, daycare and residential uses. The towers are composed of a combination of pre-cast masonry, large expanses of vision glass, and clear and frosted glazed balconies. The residential units within the towers will offer a series of dramatic views of the city skyline to the north and Lake Ontario to the south. A mixed-use tall building contains two or more functions or uses , where each of the functions occupy a significant proportion of the tower's total space.

Support areas such as car parks and mechanical plant space do not constitute mixed-use functions. Mixed-Structure Utilizes distinct systems e. Composite A combination of materials e.

Examples include buildings which utilize: steel columns with a floor system of reinforced concrete beams; a steel frame system with a concrete core; concrete-encased steel columns; concrete-filled steel tubes; etc.

Architectural Height is measured from the level of the lowest, significant, open-air, pedestrian entrance to the architectural top of the building, including spires, but not including antennae, signage, flag poles or other functional-technical equipment.

To Tip Height is measured from the level of the lowest, significant, open-air, pedestrian entrance to the highest point of the building, irrespective of material or function of the highest element i.

Occupied Height is measured from the level of the lowest, significant, open-air, pedestrian entrance to the highest occupied floor within the building. Floors Above Ground The number of floors above ground should include the ground floor level and be the number of main floors above ground, including any significant mezzanine floors and major mechanical plant floors.

Mechanical mezzanines should not be included if they have a significantly smaller floor area than the major floors below. Similarly, mechanical penthouses or plant rooms protruding above the general roof area should not be counted. Note: CTBUH floor counts may differ from published accounts, as it is common in some regions of the world for certain floor levels not to be included e.

Floors Below Ground The number of floors below ground should include all major floors located below the ground floor level. By Location. Tallest in the World. Tallest in Canada. Tallest in Toronto.
