Function
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. Functions are denoted on CTBUH "Tallest Building" lists in descending order, e.g., "hotel/office" indicates hotel function above office function.
residential
Structural Material
Both the main vertical/lateral structural elements and the floor spanning systems are constructed from steel. Note that a building of steel construction with a floor system of concrete planks or concrete slab on top of steel beams is still considered a “steel” structure as the concrete elements are not acting as the primary structure.
Reinforced Concrete
Both the main vertical/lateral structural elements and the floor spanning systems are constructed from concrete which has been cast in place and utilizes steel reinforcement bars.
Precast Concrete
Both the main vertical/lateral structural elements and the floor spanning system are constructed from steel reinforced concrete which has been precast as individual components and assembled together on-site.
Mixed-Structure
Utilizes distinct systems (e.g. steel, concrete, timber), one on top of the other. For example, a steel/concrete indicates a steel structural system located on top of a concrete structural system, with the opposite true of concrete/steel.
Composite
A combination of materials (e.g. steel, concrete, timber) are used together in the main structural elements. 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. Where known, the CTBUH database breaks out the materials used in a composite building’s core, columns, and floor spanning separately.

About Regent Park Sackville Dundas Residences
This project inaugurated the first phase of the redevelopment of Regent Park—Canada’s largest and oldest public housing project. It addresses the main objectives of area revitalization—mixed housing and income, safety, and sustainable design—while also contributing to resident quality of life and the area’s architectural fabric.
The project consists of two buildings, resting on a low podium facing a future neighborhood park to the east. The southern low-rise building contains 75 family units, while the northern high-rise tower contains 150 seniors’ units. Beneath the building are two levels of underground parking as well as the district heating and cooling cogeneration plant that will service the entire Regent Park community. An increased level of amenity was created through the raised garden court, roof gardens, landscaped outdoor spaces, retail and community spaces. Key design strategies include natural day lighting for all occupied spaces, reduced energy consumption through the Community Energy System, conservation of potable water, and passive solar shading throughout the building design.
