Contents

At 157.3 metres (516 ft) tall, it is the tallest building in Surrey and overtook the previous record-holder, the Central City complex, which was the tallest building in Surrey from 2003 to 2018. It consists of luxury residences, a hotel (Autograph Collection), [6] offices, retail and Kwantlen Polytechnic University's fifth campus (KPU Civic Plaza) occupying the first five floors above the open lobby/atrium. [7]

History

The neighbourhood of Whalley / City Centre is home to many of Surrey's skyscrapers, including the redevelopment of Flamingo block. [8] Simon Fraser University is based next to the Central City complex, which was the tallest building in Surrey from 2003 to 2018. More recent projects have overtaken the icon. [9] The hotel opened in the first week of April 2018.

The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton (Philadelphia) Luxury residential skyscraper in Center City in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton is a luxury residential skyscraper in Center City in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. At 518 feet (158 m), the 48-story skyscraper is the twelfth-tallest building in Philadelphia, and the tallest residential tower in the city. The building was erected on the former site of One Meridian Plaza which was seriously damaged by a deadly fire in 1991. One Meridian Plaza was demolished in 1999 and the property was sold by E/R Partners to the Arden Group the next year. Development of the site by the Arden Group, which owns the adjacent Ritz-Carlton Philadelphia, was delayed for years as a result of a feud with rival developer Mariner Commercial Properties. Mariner owned the property 1441 Chestnut Street, which sits south of the Residences at The Ritz-Carlton site and intends to build its own residential tower. The feud began after Arden Group's lead partner Craig Spencer blocked approval of 1441 Chestnut Street because he felt the tower's design would be detrimental to the planned Residences at The Ritz-Carlton tower. This led to several years of dispute between the developers trying to block construction of each other's towers.
