Toronto data difference between SP and EM

Hi !!

I've been wanting to do this for a while, and I finally did it!!

I literally wrote down all buildings over 100M from Emporis and all buildings over 328FT (100M) from Skyscraperpage. I wanted to really see what discrepancies we get from both websites. I personally always preferred SP over EM, more reliable and it seems more up to date. However, some data from SP is questionable, and if I can help to make the data better for my favorite website, that's even better. Even if we are in Canada, I always preferred heights in feet compared to meters, it gives more variety to the data.

So here is the list of all the stats that are different from one website to the other. Surprisingly, data was identical for about half the official list of buildings over 100M (328FT). Floors, year of construction and height ONLY. Names of buildings or addresses not included (even if I did the research as well for those). Only built and under construction buildings, proposed buildings were left out.

I did not want to submit this to the «Corrections« forum, since we don't know who's right, and who's wrong.

Who do you prefer to base your research on, SP or EM ? Let's look at the data.

All other buildings over 100M (328ft) are all identical.
A total of 265 buildings, built and under construction, as of July 21, 2014.

I think that was a lot of work.

I also think that nobody at Emporis would be willing to admit that their data is wrong...

It was indeed a lot of work. However, I think EM is right on some of these, especially the Four Seasons East Tower or 25 The Esplanade, as an example. But yeah, for the most part, SP is more up-to-date. But some are clearly wrong on the SP database.

Even though feet are smaller I prefer metres because it is easy to convert to other units of the metric system. However I do want to point out that Bay-Adelaide West does have 51 floors.

Yeah I understand your point. But when you make a list of 250+ buildings, listed in order of height, feet gives more variety to the data.
Nice to know about Bay Adelaide West. I'll update my charts. Thanks.

Wow, there's a Toronto section.


I stand by my figures. Four Seasons is 52 floors. I've seen the plans unlike basing it on some newpaper article. Same with BA1. 25 The Esplanade clearly states the height of mechanical may not be included. The roof height itself is from planning documents. I find the Emporis height way too high to believe considering it was built in the 2.65 metre per floor era. My dates for condos are specific to the date the condo plan registers. Emporis is horrendous at updating developments once the initial entry is made. I don't think a single CofA change was ever posted. Really? You care about one foot?



Of course, you have foreign editors that correct Toronto's SSP data using Emporis data all the time. FCP is 71 floors, SSP Editors!!! NO 71st Floor.
